Rentapow Vacations from $825

My stay at Poppy’s was great. The staff were so friendly and just lovely. Breakfast was bought to my room each morning with fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal, bread and the accompanying condiments.

For those who's priority is relaxation and refreshing the mind & spirit, this is the place for you. The Moso has 15 villas, so there's typically no more than 30 guests. Many guests stick to their villas since several have their own pools. Yes, you can take trips, the staff will arrange boat transfers to Efate, a 10 minute ride away, or to Major Tom, the sailboat that moors about 15 minutes away. The walk to Embas beach on the other side of the island takes 30-40 minutes, but well worth the incline over the hill and back down. The reef there is even more amazing than the one out front of the resort. I had a massage booked for later that day, so I asked the staff to pick us up on the quad for the trip back, which they did. Friday and Saturday nights from 5:30pm you can walk 10-15 minutes to the nearest side of the village to Jerry's Kava Bar. Chat with the locals, look at the moon, stars and water from the porch. Take a few bucks in cash for the Kava and Tuskers (beer). The locals are some of the most delightful people I've met. Downsides: If you need to be active all the time, this is not the place for you. It's quiet, tranquil, remote, and sometimes they're out of a dish from the menu due to limited supplies. We couldn't get our pool light to work (put that on the bulb replacement list) and the in-room safe needed new AA batteries. Big deal, right? It's fabulous. We loved it.

Everything is great but just no wifi in the room.

Loved our stay at Waves. Hubby got a surf in. Great snorkelling out back even on low tide. Friendly staff that go above and beyond. Highly recommend for self contained place.

Beautiful suite on 1st floor. Very quiet and spacious. Very comfortable bed and great amenities
