We have stayed at Fatumaru Lodge many times and we love it, it feels better then home. If you like to kayak or stand up paddling you have it right out your front balcony. (kayaks and stand up boards are provided free of charge) If you like to swim they have a pool just out your back door, the pool area has lots of shade and a BBQ you can use. You get beautiful view of the sunset that cover the sky in lovely colours which we look forward even night. The rooms have very large king size bed with a small kitchenet. The staff can book your airport transfers at the best price and they transfers staff will have a sign with your name on it at the airport gate. When taking a bus or taxi around town every driver knows how to get to Fatumaru Lodge. It about a 20 minute into town and you pass many bars and restaurants and long the way. We have plans to come back to Port Vila and we will be booking here again.

Excellent stay for overnight or a few days
Great stay. Easy check in and out. Staff friendly and helpful. Well equiped room with beautiful view to lagoon. Close enough to walk into town for meals, but room is set up for self catering also. Only stayed overnight prior to flying home the next day and is convenient to airport. Resort was happy for us to check in a little earlier and also check out a bit later

Unexpectedly lovely stay.
Beautiful setting. Rooms overlook the water's edge, with a hammock on the little beach, next to a trickling stream. The pool is lovely and was kept clean. Breakfast was a delight. The bed was extremely comfortable. Staff lovely. Excellent!

Beautiful lodge with pool and beach access
Beautiful, semi-secluded lodge still walking distance to restaurants and Port Vila central district. The decor is just right and the balcony a huge perk. Nice kitchenette too. All in all, a good place to spend a few nights. Note: the upper bedrooms have an open upper wall in the toilet/bathroom, so there is little "noise" privacy if travelling with a companion. Something to keep in mind if this is a concern for you.

Was a clean and relaxing place to stay for our last night in Vanuatu. We did experience some issues with the electrics in our room switching on and off, but It seemed to come right eventually. Overall a pleasant stay, thanks!

I loved staying at the lodge. It is close to a lot of Port Villa's attractions and town. Lovely staff and facilities. My only issue was the hot water. I only managed 2 days out of 7 to get one. The weather was warm but not warm enough for a cold shower. I would still stay again at the lodge but would hope the hot water system will improve.

This was a small boutique hotel, fairly quiet and nice views over the lagoon. The room was clean and the bed extremely comfortable, unfortunately we had several power outages through out our stay, at times became very difficult for my daughter and 12 week old baby especially in the evenings. It also interfered each time with the tv so ended up with no Netflix, which we only watched at bed time. The pool was nice a few mosaic tiles missing on the steps, but nice and clean. The decking around the pool in areas needs attention as a little unsafe. It was a shame that the wooded louvre doors didn’t have mosquito netting on so we could have the slats open at night. The staff were helpful

It was lovely to be able to have a morning swim in the lagoon each day. An easy walk into town and multiple waterside restaurants and bars. The hotel is a great compromise of being just far enough out of town to be quiet, but still walkable.

The staff at Fatumaru were very friendly and helpful. Comfy bed with large mosquito net (essential!) and a beautiful water view to wake up to. It's walkable to everything yet is super quiet so easy to get a good night's sleep. As from other reviews, the dripping shower was still there so would recommend bringing ear plugs. Also make sure you don't leave any food crumbs around as an ant party will arrive without delay.

Fatumaru Lodge is a hidden gem! About 10-15 minute walk from the main strip of shops and right on the water which was lovely. Only downside was the wifi/tv being pretty unreliable, but really not important in a beautiful place like Vanuatu!

Not posh enough to be so pricey
If you are traveling with a lot of luggage, be sure to arrange for a taxi. There is a steep, tight turn that many transports are not able to make, including the pick-up to return to the airport. The night guard was very helpful, but it was difficult to get all of our suitcases up to the turn-off for the early morning airport pick up. There was no mosquito net on the single bed for our daughter and the balcony was unscreened. We all three slept in the King size bed (which was quite comfortable). There were only 2 towels, and since we came late and left early, we could not request another. The shower dripped all night long. We had a late arrival and appreciated the flexibility of staff to help us out with that. Our quick overnight was probably not adequate to give a fair trial, but we were not so positively impressed that we feel compelled to return.
