"This was our third time staying with Breakas. They could benefit from implementing a daily shuttle bus into Vila, given they go into Vila for other business. It would save guests and average of 150Vatu bus fare each, each way. A simple thing to add value. Also add Hammocks throughout the property and more service on the beach for drinks would be nice. Overall though, lovely little spot, great staff and close to town, yet so far away."
"The toilet pipe broke and flooded our room.
The lift was broken to the pool and restaurant.
The room was pretty wheelchair accessible except for small step to veranda and I would suggest putting a fold down shower chair.
The staff were amazing and very helpful.
The tour operator at the resort, Miguel was very accommodating and supportive of our needs.
Overall had a lovely time."
"Food offerings were pretty standard, although the Teppanyaki was awesome. Pool was very good. Boat to the Erakor resort for Lunch/Dinner was very useful. Significant refurbishment from 8am to 5pm was annoying, made it difficult to relax on the verandah - due to drilling/grinding etc. Room was well located next to the lagoon, spacious and functional. Loved our 1st visit to Vanuatu, the close proximity of Erakor and Ramada hotels provided lots of eating/drinking options."
"The Melanesian is a long-standing feature of the Port Vila accommodation scene and it's very well-priced. The Orchid Rooms are very pleasant but they all face onto the pool area. So you will want to have the windows shut if the music played at the bar and people's conversations bother you. The AC unit in my room did an OK job with keeping the room comfortable even with windows shut. The rooms have a good desk and small table for people needing to do work while there. The included breakfast covers all the expected bases – a small range of fresh fruit, toast, fresh breads, cereals and cooked breakfast options for extra charge."
"Had the most perfect stay in paradise. Everything you want for a relaxed island getaway. Accomodation was perfect, staff very friendly and helpful and excellent meals at the restaurant. We used the kayaks every day and snorkeled at the small reef to the east of the island. All villas appear to have water frontage. Could not recommend more highly if you are after a low key and relaxing escape "
"The staff prepared a very generous daily breakfast overlooking the serene water. They were so lovely and accomodating and are always there for a chat or to help out. Surrounded by amazing greenery and close to the centre. "
