Efate Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Efate, Shefa

"Clean room, exceptionally kind and professional staff, thoroughly enjoyed the scenic property and available paddle boards and kayaks. We loved watching the little tropical fishies from our deck and the distant sounds of kids playing and laughing at the park across the water during the later day. :) "

"room was very clean and cool, there was buggy service, however sometimes needs to call more than once"

"Staff was terriffic, room was clean, property was great - only reasons for 4 vs. 5 stars: There was still a good deal of construction and noise happening, because of the earthquake recovery efforts. (Some drilling/grinding upstairs from my room, and chiseling and hammering for installation of new pavers by the pool) but to be expected given the situation when only 17 of 100+ rooms are in operation! Also, the front approach/sign could have used a bit of cleaning/pressure washing and the breakfast buffet lacked sliced cheese (only cubed brie - difficult to make a sandwich with, and I'm a damn Yankee who likes his breakfast sandwiches!) 😁 The staff were always on-point, the welcome was great and the front-of-house manager was very professional and personable - and keen to share many property details. My nitpick with him: after the time he said he'd spent in Vanuatu (3 years) it would have been nice for him to functionally speak some Bislama - especially with so many locals under him. Overall, a reasonable value/stay in post-quake Port Vila. "

"Accommodations were great and the breakfast was excellent. The two bedroom garden view apartment is spacious and clean. The only negative aspect would be one AC for the entire apartment wasn’t adequate to cool the bedrooms to a comfortable sleeping temperature."

"Excellent facilities. Staff were very accommodating. Very pleasant stay."

"Staying in a traditional hut, no aircon but the windows and fan did an amazing job, they supplied all things for bug from spray, mozzie candle to net over the bed. The staff there is amazing! Isabella and her team are wonderful and so friendly to ask any questions! Definitely take part their cultural dinner night where you try kava that is really nice! Fire night friday and you can have a walking tour Monday or Friday. I can’t explain how amazing this place is and I can’t wait to go back! "

"Everything was fabulous. Location amazing, room had everything we needed, pool was beautiful & all the staff were so friendly & helpful. Highly recommend staying at Kaiviti Motel. "

"The staff were friendly and helpful. The resort is doing renovations so hopefully improving the broken playground, empty pool and some.days we did nit have hot water. "

"Wonderful location, amazing coral reef on your doorstep with free gear to use. Caroline and Damian do an amazing job - they’re friendly and always so helpful as are the amazing staff with their big smiles! Birdies restaurant poolside was delicious, fresh and great servings. For a family looking to keep the food budget under control I’d recommend stocking up on basics from the supermarket including a few local Tusker beers (hire a care or book a driver to get around). The comfortable and well appointed bungalows have a full kitchen so quick breakfasts, lunches/snacks etc are easy to prepare yourself. Great Christmas for our family of 5 enjoying ‘island time’! "
