We absolutely loved our stay at Fatumaru Lodge—a perfect base for our family holiday in Vanuatu. The room was spacious and well-equipped, with cooking facilities, a proper fridge and freezer (a big plus with kids!), and plenty of room to relax. The view from our room was stunning—sparkling water by day, beautiful sunsets from the sundeck by night. It was peaceful, picturesque, and felt like our own slice of paradise. It’s also in a super convenient location—an easy walk to local cafes and restaurants, with a bus stop right outside if you want to head into town. Friendly staff, a relaxing vibe, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d absolutely recommend Fatumaru Lodge to any family visiting Port Vila!

Fatumaru Lodge exceeded our expectations! it is tucked away in a quite area off the main road, walking distance to the local shops, cafes, markets and other Port Vila must see's. The staff were always friendly, accommodating, and made us feel very at home. The resort is getting constant upgrades and you can tell a lot of work has been put into it and continues to - what was surprising was the lush and well maintained gardens around the resort - so lovely, and it was so tidy - and our view was next level, we had such a great stay and made some great memories, thank you!

Fatumaru Lodge was a wonderful safe haven in Vanuatu. We explored the island a lot including going over to Irikiri Island and Hideaway Island and each time were so much happier with our accomodation at Fatumaru Lodge. Key benefits: - very peaceful and quiet. You rarely hear staff or other guests - extremely roomy. We had the 2 bedroom and felt like it had lots of space. - very strong air conditioning - very comfy beds - great outdoor balcony for drying clothes and catching last of the sun - beautiful sunsets - the pool is the perfect temperature and very clean - the location is amazing. Easy walk to a tiny complex which has a food court massage bakery, and then walkable to Banyan Beach bar and main port villa town is about 18 mins from accomodation - staff are helpful and friendly. They helped us book taxis answer questions and never felt overbearing Our stay at Fatumaru Lodge was definitely the best part of our Vanuatu trip.

We loved staying at the Fatumaru Lodge! It is clean; staff is friendly; and location is beautiful. Our flight was delayed to Port Villa and the hotel was understanding/checked us in late. They also helped us schedule transportation to/from the airport. We cannot wait to visit again!

We had a one night stay before heading to an island. Staff were very accommodating and helpful with transfers. We liked our room with a water view - very comfortable. The pool was great. We had a rate with breakfast which was ok but croissants were burnt.

Pro's A beautiful location right on the Water. All Staff from the Manager to the cleaners go out of their way to make you feel special. Nothing is a problem. Close to shops and places to eat. Con's The place could really do with a refresh and new paint and pool tiles.

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

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!

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.

Lovely stay at Fatumaru Lodge, parts bit dated as expected but all in all was ok for the price. Power problems persisted in our unit the whole visit with power going off every now and again but staff quickly reacted turning it back on. Would suspects too much of a load on the mains power. Hot water in shower was a bit of a trick to master but once you got the knack of it you could have a great shower. Would recommend asking for unit Walla which was upstairs but great private view towards Port Vila.

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!

Very quite and beautiful. It is somewhat far away from the next property, however, the city is still easily in walkable distance. Pretty much perfect

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.

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!

The review for the hotel is decidedly mediocre. The property is in a state of disrepair, and while we were given a renovated room—meaning the kitchen appliances were new—the rest of the room was nothing special. The bathroom was in extremely poor condition, with one side of the toilet seat broken off. It looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned in a long time. The bathroom was in barely acceptable condition, clearly not renovated for many years. The sinks and shower were completely clogged with limescale, making it nearly impossible for water to drain. We reported the lack of Internet on the first day, yet it wasn’t fixed until our departure on the final day. The staff didn’t seem to care and barely acknowledged our complaint. The pool was out of service, and there was an overwhelming amount of dirt throughout the area. Trash was left lying around, and it felt like no one bothered to clean it up. On our last day, they began renovating the roof, resulting in constant noise and chaos. We were promised a welcome drink, but despite asking, it never materialized; our inquiry was completely ignored. The cleaning service was subpar, with towels left drying on the office roof. Room cleaning was a joke—one piece of paper that fell on the floor stayed in the exact same spot until we returned. The whole place felt neglected and poorly managed. This hotel clearly operates on its own flawed rules, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

The property was lovely, overlooking a lagoon part of the ocean.. great for kayaking. Lovely bungalows, pool, flowers. Friendly, helpful, staff. Rooms nice and cool. Shower leaked a bit but not a big deal. Pleasant pool area. Easy to get a mini van for rides into town or Mele beach on the road by driveway.
