    Toilets didn’t flush well (think they have been modified for ? disabled people which means the horizontal pipe too long to allow for an effective flush ). Parents liked but teenagers disliked no tv in the property.

    Bedding very comfortable, clean, and well prepared, plenty of towels, security guard ‘Mackoy’ and reception ‘Katya’ were both amazing. Location wonderful and proximity to restaurant at Breakas beach resort terrific.

    The villas are lovely, the location and view superb. Be aware it can get windy there at times. Villas are solid, clean, spacious and well built. Katia is professional, friendly and very helpful. We found everything to our liking and she made the stay extra special with advice, helpful tips and contact for whatever we needed. Thanks Katia!

    Perfect location right on the reef, honestly breathtaking. In the village so you get to experience more culture than in port villa hub. Staff were lovely and villa was huge. Private pool was great as it can get pretty windy.

    What a beautiful spot! Right on the beachfront, close to a few restaurants, with a kava bar/bottleshop across the road and a convenience store a short walk. The villa was lovely, two rooms with air con and the top one without. Lovely outdoor area with a pool. Mini buses easy to catch out the front for 150 vatu per person. Katia and the team were so lovely and accommodating. Would love to come back!

    The whole experience at Surfside was amazing. The villas were well equipped and private, everything you need, Katia was so helpful and friendly. There is a shop and Kava bar across the road and resort a short stroll up the beach with a restaurant and bar plus full cooking facilities in your villa. Wifi and air conditioning, open and breezy and your own private pool. Bedrooms were big with king size beds and each room has its own bathroom. Buses are readily available at your door. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

    Issues with cooktop though the staff did their best to sort it out and were very prompt. The problem did temporarily resolve but then we experienced issues again. Keys were tricky to work.

    Wonderful views over the water and great location. Easy place to stay.

    No lounging area to hang out in. There was an outdoor dining table by the pool but no actual comfy lounges to chill in.

    The staff were lovely and helpful. The location right by the beach was phenomenal (but did come with a lot of wind)

    It is far from the central village. you need to take bus/taxi for everything (pretty much), but i guess it is preferred by some visitors. The wifi only works for one room, (the good part is) this helps us leave work behind and keep kids away from ipad/phone.

    location is amazing, in front of the sea. we have private pool in the property, which kids love the most. the view is stanning for sunrise and sunset. To have a private driver with us is essential for the tour, especially when travel with kids; he is very nice, very helpful and always on-time; simply ask the reception, they will organise it.

    there's an extremely strong rip and side-sweep when the swell is large, and a woman got into serious trouble while we were there. as long as people are aware, it's no problem, but it limits the swimming options.

    right on the beach. really friendly and helpful staff. close to a couple of very good restaurants, a mini-mart style shop, and a cool kava bar! VERY large rooms, and a beautiful pool.

    We unfortunately stayed during an incredibly windy few days which was totally no fault of Waves Surfside! We were just unlucky, but even with the wind we still absolutely loved our stay.

    The location & facilities were amazing. The staff were absolutely wonderful, Katia & her team were faultless. The cleanliness & attention to detail was wonderful. We loved walking along the beautifully maintained path to Breakas resort for a swim, coffee or cocktail. And the private pool was lovely. The kitchen had everything we needed & the views were incredible.

    What a fabulous beachside apartment, such a marvellous time was had here and we found the facilities great. We swam, walked the beautiful beach & enjoyed breakfast every morning looking out over the sea. Waves is well landscaped & very attractive & the staff were so helpful and charming. Everything beautifully cared for. The restaurant down the beach was perfect for lunch/drinks and many hours were spent there enjoying the tropical vibe. It was much appreciated that our flight changes were accommodated by the excellent staff at the front desk. We used the convenient buses that pass the gate every few minutes to get into town & ate out mostly in the excellent restaurants around Port Vila. We also bought and bbq’d amazing lobster here. This place is a dream! 🌴

    One or two of the shutters were in need of repair which caused the wind to make a loud whistling noise, particularly at night.

    Could not be closer to the ocean; right on the doorstep. slept with the sound of waves each night - lovely. Unfortunate for the business, but lovely for us, there was no other evident guests so very quiet.

    It was all terrific.

    Very helpful staff who went above and beyond the call of duty. All of the team were very welcoming and friendly, particularly Katia and Veronica. We were extremely grateful for Ismael's and Oppy's assistance on our departure at 4.30am on Sunday. Our booked and confirmed transport to the airport did not arrive. Ismael noticed our concern and called on Oppy to deliver us safely and on time to the airport. We can't thank them enough.
