Chief Roi Mata’s Domain Tours

Property had some great facilities, beach, gym and water sports all positives. Rooms a little tired, food very mixed bag and staff genuine and super nice people, but a little ineffective at the same time. A basic example was no water on the room on arrival, checked with reception who said it’s housekeepings fault, ask them the following day, they said it’s not them it’s reception and we never received any water. I think it’s too strong to say we regret staying here but I wouldn’t stay again. We had another four days in Vanuatu and moved rather than sought to extend.

Our hosts/staff were friendly and helpful. The bar/restaurant 'Birdies' is just right for the location, good vibe. The food is excellent but expect the prices to reflect what you'd pay back home. The accomodation was just right for us (family: 2 adults + 1 teen), we had seperate rooms with individual ensuites. The snorkeling was amazing and reputed to be the best on the Island: lots of different corals and fish. Water was warm, even in their winter. There is another bar down the road ('the Beach Bar') which is excellent: live performances and good pizza. But note that it is a lazy 40 minute walk if you miss the bus. The hosts who own/operate this resort are passionate about supporting this country and the Nevan people - accordingly their business has our support. We both recommend to stay at this resort and would stay there again.

We recently stayed for 4 nights for our anniversary and had an amazing time. Our villa was spacious, comfortable and little luxuries appreciated. Sleeping to the sound of the waves crashing was bliss. The staff were all attentive, helpful and full of smiles. The food was delicious and never went hungry. We loved the fire show on the Monday night, the spa for some relaxing massages and they even surprised us on our anniversary day with a few thoughtful extras which we loved. It didn’t affect our stay at all- but note that the beach isn’t really suitable for swimming due to the coral and currents - but we enjoyed walking along collecting shells and wading out on low tide to explore little Rock pools. Located around 30-40 mins out of central Port Vila- still easily accessible to other sites and even came to enjoy the bumpy ride over all the pot holes! (the resort is located 7km down a dirt road from the main sealed road). They were very helpful arranging drivers and day tours for us too. Highly recommended- Would love to return one day.
