Eratap Beach Resort

It was paradise. I relaxed in an instant. The accommodation was perfectly designed so that you had your own slice of the beach and views with no one else in sight. They were equipped with air con and fans, fly screens. As a coconut fell from the tree, staff would open it for you. Could not recommend this place enough. A perfect balance of solitude - you could socialise at the restaurant if you wanted to, superb snorkelling off the beach or a boat trip to one of the local islands whenever you wanted. The food was also 5 star!

This is the most beautiful resort we have been trying to get in here for quite a while and been lucky to be able to get one of the waterfront villas. The villas were absolutely spacious with us in one side and the kids on other side with a small entrance separating both sides. The beds were comfortable which makes you stay even better. We loved the pool as it was the same depth all the way through so you could stand up anywhere and what was amazing as you were overlooking the ocean whilst in the pool. There is a cold water fountain at the pool and also a phone if you’re wanting snacks delivered whilst you’re relaxing around the pool area, what more could you want? What impressed me was the way they have incorporated a gift to you of a branded water bottle so there’s no plastic bottles left around the resort. What a fantastic idea that you can go and refill your water bottle anywhere within the resort at no cost. The grounds are kept immaculately by the ground staff around the resort who also make sure you stay is private and quiet. There is a lovely tennis court and a small shop where you can buy some gifts, ice blocks, cold drinks and the ladies are always welcoming here at the shop. You can also grab a bike or a surfboard at any time. We grabbed a few bikes and rode around to the other side of the island through some tracks. The staff are always friendly and obliging which also makes your stay a positive stay. Pascal is a breath of fresh air and so very helpful with anything you need. Breakfast is included in your stay to go and choose a seat of your liking and look over the beautiful ocean BUT we quick for the fresh muffins baked daily they are delicious and go fast! At dinner time and lunchtime you could choose your meals and again choose where you sit. No need to book because there is always a seat available for the amount of guests staying at this beautiful resort. We hired a car for four days and did a bit of sightseeing ourselves which was great. It is not hard to get around Vanuatu. It was unfortunate though that the earthquake had happened not long before we arrived at Vanuatu so there was a lot of devastation with buildings down and building damage. Lucky the resort was not damaged. The city was closed unfortunately and some of the roads were damaged but this did not dull the people in Vanuatu with making you feel welcome. We did feel numerous earth tremors during our stay which were scary for us never experiencing such a thing. If you have been thinking whether to go to Era Tap please do it. It is the most amazing resort and you’ll have a lovely relaxing time. If you are after something like extreme water sports etc you can find these outside of the resort this resort is made for relaxation and quiet times for family and friends and we loved it. There is only one other resort that I would put on par with Era Tap and that is Nanuku Resort in Fiji if you were looking for somewhere different to go of the same quality

There is absolutely nothing to fault with the ehole experience. An ideal place for relaxing

We stayed at Eratap mid-December 2024 and as there are plenty of reviews telling what facilities the resort offers we won't repeat those other than to agree with the positive reviews. As a couple, our experience at the resort was flawless, honestly we can only find very positive things to say! Great facilities, awesome sea, beach, dinners on the beach, super clean, quiet and relaxing environment (almost adults only which was greatly appreciated), really friendly and efficient resort staff (hi Maki, Melanie, Natasha!). Also, we were there for the earthquake and we're really grateful to Tony, Louisa and Pascalle for their help and flexibility during that difficult time. We've stayed at a number of adults-only resorts in the Mediterranean over the years and we rate Eratap as equal to the best of those in terms of space and privacy. Tony, Louisa, we're still checking out the earthquake 'radar' but nevertheless, we're already talking about coming back! John & Natasha

As a first time visitor to Vanuatu, Eratap Beach Resort was nothing short of magnificent and left a lasting impression of joy for Vanuatu and it's people. Just a 3.5 hour flight from Sydney and you are in another world. The resort is intimate and you often feel as if you are the only guests. From the ease of airport pick up, to the endless smiles from the staff and the access to kayaks, stand up paddle boards, boats to near by snorkelling islands, as well as the perfect snorkelling conditions right outside the villa, the resort never failed to deliver. The water was so warm and the evening rain a welcome cool down. The food at the restaurant was so varied, we found something new to try every night. The included breakfast was delicious too. Loved the village walk around with Mak, who generously shared his village story and showed us his family home too. The gym and yoga classes were fun as well and we even used the freely available bikes. You can do nothing or everything and by the end of the holiday you will feel spoilt, and totally relaxed and love Vanuatu as much as we did. Thanks especially to Maki and Mel and the whole team for looking after us and having a laugh and making us excited to return soon!
