Hotels With spa in Shefa, Vanuatu

I was initially very satisfied with this hotel, but my entire experience was completely ruined on the morning of March 29 at 10:00 AM. A staff member knocked on my door in an extremely aggressive and urgent manner. Even after I clearly told them to wait, they continued banging loudly on the door without any respect for my privacy. When I finally opened the door, expecting something urgent or important, I was shocked to find out that they were simply asking whether I needed housekeeping. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable. There was no emergency, no prior request, and no justification for such intrusive and disrespectful conduct. This was not only unprofessional, but also extremely disturbing. I do not need or appreciate this kind of forced “morning call.” It shows a serious lack of basic training and respect for guests. Because of this incident, I immediately decided to check out and leave the hotel. I strongly do NOT recommend this property.

Disappointing for a reputable resort. It is very dated, needs an upgrade. Our Lagoon view room and a an adjoining door, the neighbours sounded like they were living in our room. Gym was old, torn equipment & malfunctioning. Room wasn’t ready at 4pm, breakfast kept running out of rentals such, milk, coffee, plates, teacups etc (staff were working hard), when wheeling luggage in path, surface is rough and dangerous. Staff were the exception to our experience, they were friendly and would go out of their way to help.

We stayed at Tamanu for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The room was cozy and beautifully maintained, offering a perfect space to relax. The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Fiona and Anthony did a fantastic job managing the resort — their attention to detail and warm hospitality really stood out. A special thank you to Anthony, who went above and beyond by personally returning our wallet after we accidentally left it behind in the room. We are truly grateful for such kindness and care. Highly recommend Tamanu for anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free getaway!

I got upgraded to a suite, which was absolutely fantastic. Being on a private island gave it a real 'island survival' vibe. They even had a buffet and show in the evening, making it a truly unique experience. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit. It was amazing, simply amazing!

The shower floor would be more than necessary, now water is spraying a lot to the wide area. Morning really small, cheaper places richer and more diversified. The pool area is a little too shadowed if you want to be in the sun. The beach was from the bottom of a sad feeling slope - doesn't want to go to swim. For snorkeling you need to go farther if you want to see something. The room we got was wonderful - our own terrace and garden directly to the sea. In other rooms only a balcony, not at all so nice. The room is spacious and cool. Beds good and cottage options. AC worked well. Kitchen equipment ok. The kajaks and the bathrooms are a nice addition. Location a little away, but if you also like walking, this is working. The staff was careful and friendly, communication in advance worked well. A shower curtain would be more than necessary, now water splashes over a much wider area. Breakfast really poor, cheaper places have more and more variety. Extra charge is immediately wanted for additional options. Pool area a bit too shady if you want to be in the sun. The beach was a bit muddy at the bottom - you don't feel like going swimming. You have to go further for snorkeling if you want to see something. The room we got was lovely - private terrace and yard directly on the sea. Other rooms only have a balcony, not that nice at all. Room spacious and clean. Beds good and pillow options. AC worked well. Kitchen equipment ok. Kayaks and paddleboards a nice addition. Location a bit remote, but if you also like walking then this is functional. The staff was caring and friendly, communication in advance worked well.

Friendly and helpful staff. The furniture is old and needs to be updated. Hot water is unstable, it was often necessary to rinse with cold water. A broken clock hung on the wall, which was very annoying. At night, small lizards run along the walls inside the bedroom and the ceiling, which made sounds, which is also not pleasant to hear at night. The pillows are long and hard. Dirt accumulated in the washing machine in the tank, which did not wash, but, on the contrary, stained the washed clothes.

We had a great stay in a studio apartment. Very spacious and a nice breakfast delivered to the room each morning. Staff are very friendly and it's a short walk to a big supermarket. Port Vila seafront was about a 20 minute walk.

Было чудесно! Не требовалось просить клининг, бунгало милое и ухоженное. Очень понравился душ. В патио приятно сидеть. Территория тоже прекрасная. Пребывание в отеле было приятным! Огромная благодарность персоналу

My son and I stayed at the hotel in cottage #4 by the sea in July 2026. The hotel itself is decent, and the price matches the quality – it's not expensive. We only had breakfast at the hotel (mostly omelets with vegetables and hot chocolate). We didn't opt for lunch or dinner because we had read previously that they were expensive. I pre-booked the airport transfer via email with the hotel; they replied promptly. A one-way transfer cost 12,000 in local currency, which we paid by credit card upon arrival. We also booked the return transfer through the hotel, which cost 120 USD. Honestly, I think the transfer was pricey, but I couldn't find any online taxi services, and the hotel is over 60 km from the airport, so I had to go with this option as there were no others. After leaving the airport, we stopped at a supermarket to buy food to replace hotel lunches and dinners. The cottage has everything: hot water, good bedding, and towels. There's also a gas stovetop, dishes, a kettle, plates, spoons, and forks, so you can cook your own meals. However, there's nowhere to buy groceries near the hotel, so we stocked up at the supermarket upon arrival. There's no safe or slippers in the room. The hotel grounds are large, with plenty of places to walk and a long beachfront. The staff are polite and pleasant, and the hotel grounds are well-maintained. Overall, that aspect was great. What I didn't like: there's no internet in the room, which was a significant issue for me. Internet is only available in the hotel lobby, where the reception and dining area are, which is a real shame. Luckily, our cottage was right by the reception, so that was convenient. Also, be aware that there are very strong low tides on the beach until noon, though this wasn't a major concern for us; we just walked along the ocean, which was wonderful.

The hotel is located about 40 minutes drive from the city and is not large in size. Have your own beach and small pier. Guests can use canoe, SUP free of charge, face mirror need to rent. It is recommended to rent a car by yourself. The hotel arranges a single trip to the city to 7000vt. It takes 30,000vt to use the car and the driver all day. The room will not give the keys, they said that only their service staff and guests can not worry. Even the door of our room is difficult to close, and we take a complete route. The restaurant's things are not too delicious, breakfast is OK, other lunches have ordered penne pen tube noodles are super salty, dinner has ordered fish burger bread as hard as a French stick, pizza is OK, chips are delicious. The scenery is beautiful, we stayed for four nights, probably lunch and dinner are more troublesome.
