Nothing.

I was working in Port Vila and staying at Mangoes was absolutely perfect for this. It was a very nice hotel and the staff were outstanding. I would definitely stay here on return visit.

It’s difficult to find a swimming beach nearby. But you can catch a bus and a boat to Iririki Island, get a day pass and do some snorkeling.

Beautiful atmosphere. Restaurant is great. Friendly staff. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

There isn’t a lot in immediate vicinity by way of other shops or restaurants but it isn’t far in a taxi / bus to town and most tours pick up at resort.

Great food, friendly staff, decent size rooms and a well maintained property with several pools including a private one with lagoon view villa. I also enjoyed a blissful massage, the free room service and yum cocktails.

Had a couple of insects sneak through the gap in the door + plus it was like 20-30 min to walk to the Main Street so if you don’t wanna eat at the hotel then you should have a car

Many different pools and facilities for the terrace apartments also available to mangoes guests, big plus

Buffet breakfast would be great

Food was excellent

It can occasionally be noisy from neighbouring properties.

The bungalows were an absolute delight and the plunge pool with lagoon views were perfect for a lazy afternoon. The restaurant had a good selection (photos of food uploaded) and the front desk was very helpful booking tours.

While dinner menu was nice there was no burger on offer. Meals were expensive. Used the bus as taxi prices were to high.

Easy walk to town over the hill. Convenience stores only 5 minutes away. Numerous swimming pools and the grounds were well maintained.

The room was spacious and comfortable close to town.

It's a little bit up out of the city and sometimes it is challenging to get taxis. Rooms were ok but it wasn't the best place we stayed in on Efate, they were a bit run down. From what I could understand some of this attributed to the earthquake though but unsure about the smoke smell in the rooms.

Most of the staff were friendly, and it was nice to have our own space. Our first room smelled like cigarettes but the staff were kind enough to move us to a different room. The view was really lovely.

Great layout

Stayed in May 2025

Maybe an upgrade is due in the near future as it looks a little outdated but otherwise for the price, it's a great place to stay.

On arrival, I was welcomed with ice tea, which was so refreshing in the humid heat! The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and did their utmost to make sure my needs were met during my short stay. They shared helpful tips and local excursions I could book. The food in the restaurant was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. My bungalow had an amazing view, and the private pool is a must do! I had a great time there and would definitely return.

We booked an apartment with private pool, the pool was missing 5-6 tiles and along the back of the pool had a bad smell. The mangoes app we were told to download wasn’t much help. The prices for drinks via the app did not match the menus in the restaurant. Costs for food and drink changed throughout our stay. The option to call the restaurant via app did not work at all so room service was non existent (which no one told us about we were told on arrival by receptionist to use the app) Besides the chef, Thomas and 1 of 2 waitresses, the rest of the staff weren’t very friendly. When we first arrived the customer service was very up and down and some of the staff members would just stare. Not even a smile. This did change after a few nights there. Prices of taxi fares booked through mangoes are also extremely overpriced but we found inconsistencies in taxi fares all over the island.

A hand full of very helpful and lovely staff members The chef and Thomas always greeted us with a smile.

They didn't make up the room on one of the days and the shower was cold one morning. It was a bit far to walk anywhere.

I had 3 pools which was great, although we only found the 3rd one on the last day! The room was very spacious and comfortable. Had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant, both were very good.

Need new doors, hard to fit into (with only half door opening - can open other side but a pain). Still need to pay extra for breakfast (only covers a light breakfast). While can get taxi's, without own transportation, getting buses is a bit more problematic in this location - not much in walking distance.

Fantastic hotel, with three awesome pools, stunning views of the lagoon. Very friendly and helpful staff. Big spacious room and lovely bathroom -fans and air-con, depending on preference. High quality free Wi-Fi.

The "private" pool was a huge let down as it's visible to anyone walking by. It's honestly very silly. The hotel was a ghost town - we barely saw any other guests. The staff were not very helpful & the manager was fairly rude most of the time. It was very awkward. The room had ants and bugs (but I guess that's to be expected in a tropical location). The location isn't near anything really within walking distance (except there's a grocery store a 20 min walk away).

We stayed in a Garden View Pool Apartment. The room was huge and had a kitchen that we used to cook breakfast and dinner. The gym wasn't big but it got the job done. There were plenty of lounges to lay on by any of the many pools. The massages were incredible! Definitely get one while staying here.

It’s becoming run down and they charge you for air conditioning which makes you feel very cheated as Vanuatu has a very hot climate and air conditioning should be a standard for travellers. Also the amount of breakfast food was very stingy. Not sure if that is due to food shortages from the earthquake but it would have been nice if this was explained.

It was very beautiful and Adults only.

Stayed in February 2025

The aircon was not working in the room we were in so we had to be moved. Got a slightly bigger room with a bigger pool.

It is always quiet and a peaceful getaway from home. The food was great as always.

So I get into the room, sweating like a pig, only to be told that if I want the AC on, it’s an extra 1,500 Vatu per night. I’ve literally never had that before. Who in their right mind thinks that this is justifiable? Secondly, their “breakfast” includes only “light” options (müseli, toast or a fruit salad). They also included “juice and tea or coffee” according to the menu. For some reason though, I was charged an extra 450 vatu for a pot of tea on my last day. I was quite annoyed at this. If I had known this, I would just had the provided tea in my room. The 1,500 vatu charge for air conditioning is enough to keep me from returning. Never ever have I heard of this before.

Very well maintained property, very few signs of age showing, grounds were very well kept. Food at the restaurant was delicious and the value of the food was worth the higher price tag. Room was fairly comfortable and well equipped minus a hairdryer. Fast WiFi (good enough for zoom calls) HOWEVER (check negatives section)

The reception closes at five pm and opens at eight am. What if there’s an emergency.

The location and the landscaping! The multiple swimming pool.

The room when serviced was just a tidy. bed made and rubbish bin emptiec. There was no cleaning done. Dishes left on sink, dead fly left on sink basin etc.

Lovely environment. gardens, pools etc.

It was a little out of the main centre of Port Vila, and the restaurant was on the expensive side.

The private pool was excellent, the additional shared pool areas were nice as well. The restaurant was great and the staff were friendly and helpful.
