Mangoes Resort

We stayed at Mangoes resort for 8 nights on the second half of our visit to Vanuatu. The units are very nice and spacious and loved the layout. What let's this place down most is their service - particularly the restaurant. Often you can sit there for ages before getting the menu, there generally was no checking to see if you are happy/ok (with the exception of one night when a different chef was on), the staff seem to studiously avoid looking at you so very difficult to attract their attention if you want something. Prices in the restaurant appeared reasonably expensive compared to other places we ate. The only one who seemed to remember our name was the massage therapist (only had 1 on the first day). We asked reception about the sunset cruise and there was no offer to help us book or anything. While the room was made up every day, we soon learned to always check whether the body was, shampoo etc had been replenished. More often than not it wasn't. Annoying to come home late, want a shower and find no shower gel and reception is closed. Would we stay here again - probably not.

What a beautiful place to stay. The staff were attentive, helpful and treated us like family. Chichi was helpful before we even arrived. The grounds are immaculate. The restaurant was great with delicious options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thomas made sure we had everything we needed. The cocktails were great too. The rooms are spacious and well kept. Would definitely recommend Mangoes as a calm and peaceful place to stay and would stay again!!

We could not have asked for a better stay at Mangoes! The rooms were immaculately clean, and the grounds were exceptionally well-kept, including the stunning pools, professional tennis courts, and well-equipped gym. The attention to detail throughout the property was truly impressive. The food at the restaurant was consistently amazing. We appreciated being able to pre-order our meals, which made it especially convenient when we had early starts planned. Every dish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was bursting with flavor, served in generous portions, and prepared with obvious care and expertise. The staff truly went above and beyond for all of us, cheerfully assisting with booking buses, arranging tours, and securing restaurant reservations. Their warm hospitality and genuine desire to make our stay perfect was evident in every interaction. As a larger group booking everything was still seamless and nothing was an issue when ordering or being at the resort. Mangoes is also a great spot for couples or singles wanting a child free experience. I would enthusiastically recommend anyone visiting Vanuatu to stay here. As an Australian who hasn't traveled extensively, I found Mangoes to be a perfect blend of safety, comfort, and relaxation. The resort created an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and homely—a true paradise where we could completely unwind and enjoy everything this beautiful destination has to offer.

Fantastic place to stay. Such a wonderful friendly resort, Taku the chef made this excellent platter from the fish I caught on my fishing trip,

We just returned from a few nights at Mangoes Resort and highly recommend it to anyone considering a holiday in Vanuatu without kids. The location is excellent - close to town so that you can take advantage of the bars and restaurants nearby, but far enough away to feel quiet and peaceful. The tropical gardens and pool areas are lovely and the outlook over the lagoon below made for a relaxing setting. I will miss having my breakfast and coffee each morning looking out at that view! The highlight of our stay was definitely the "trust the chef" dining experience we had. The set menu the chef created was delicious and the setting was great. It was by far the best meal of our trip.
