This was a holiday to remember! The Staff were the friendliest I've ever encountered and the Feasts and entertainment immersed us in their culture and changed our "pace" to one of complete relaxation. Thank you to Paradise Tours for authentic experience around Efate. Meeting Warriors in a hidden rainforest was a truly memorable insight.

Our Family travels to Vanuatu at least once a year if not twice.
We have stayed at several hotels in Vila, but find The Melanesian to be the best value for money. It is one of the closest hotels to the town centre that offers fantastic service and facilities. We always travel with our two Children (now aged 5 & 2) and the staff are more than friendly and helpful. Although the hotel doesn't offer a Kid's Club baby sitting is available at next to nothing.
Port Vila in general is very family and children friendly so no real need to leave the kids behind unless going for a relaxing massage or romantic beach side candle lit dinner.
Would recommend The Melanesian to anyone traveling with or without children to Port Vila, Vanuatu.

For the money we spent, this place was fabulous. After all, who spends there whole entire island experience inside their rooms. You sleep and shower there, then head out and explore the culture and friendliness of your chosen destination.
We thought the cost was not different to being at home.
If I thought for one minute the rest of the family could handle it, I'd by that really cheap block of land we looked into and move.
I shall return Vanuatu.

We recently travelled to Vanuatu using the new Virgin Blue service to Port
Vila with three children aged 14,12 and 7. Firstly the trip from Adelaide via
Melbourne was wonderful, no probs and we saved a fortune using Virgin as our
carriers. We stayed 7 nights at Le Lagon in 2 lagon view rooms. Although the
rooms were fairly small, bathrooms quiet outdated the rest of the resort we felt
made up for them. The kids club was fantastic had great activities and also
excursions to some local attractions. At 10pm we had to drag our kids back to
there rooms for some sleep so there'd have the energy to start over the next
day. The all inclusive package is just that no restrictions on children's meal
times or were they could eat it was any restaurant, any time, any food and drink
choice. With all that activity it was well worth the money especially for the 2
older boys! The staff and activities offered were wonderful. The next 7 nights
we stayed at The Melanesian in a 2 bedroom apartment, it was very spacious even
had its own laundry which was great. Not quiet up to Le Lagons standards but
most enjoyable and very close to town which made sightseeing very easy by just
catching a bus right outside. The people of Vanuatu are some of the friendliest
people you could meet, the local markets are a real treat and a great experience
for the kids, no pushy stall holders. There's heap to see and do around the
Island. Food is very expensive so take meal plans if you can. All in all a
wonderful cultural experience, a great relaxing place and we are already
planning our next trip.
