Superb “price performer” with a total family-friendly atmosphere❗Everyone cared and smiled. Excellent Wi-Fi connection. All the ladies were helpful. The view of the lagoon from my breakfast table was soooo relaxing. The location is in a unique setting. Quiet and private. I never took the time to lock my room. With Morgan’s (owner & Vanuatu resident for 29 years) lead, all the ladies were helpful.

Beautiful setting & amazing hosts

Lagoon Gardens is by far the best place to stay in Port Vila. The lush gardens right on the lagoon create a peaceful and unique atmosphere. Morgan, Yvette, and the entire team were incredibly kind and always happy to help, whether it was booking tours or assisting with anything else we needed. The facilities are excellent: there’s a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor BBQ area, and free kayaks so you can explore the lagoon anytime you like. They also provide snorkeling gear, which you can take with you on your beach trips. We’d definitely come back without hesitation! It felt like home.

Beautiful garden and waterside location and really friendly staff. Some distance from town, accessible by bus (150vt/ person) but traffic can be slow. Large supermarket and fresh f&v market nearby at Korman. Facilities a bit basic , maybe still just recovering from earthquake damage in Dec.

Great value for money. Anick was great. She arranged personalised tours. A few things to note 1. Airport transfer free is 3000 Vatu not 18Aud as advertised. 2. No A/C in my room but I was okay with that because I was originally from Sri Lanka Very safe place and I got what I paid for

Lovely location on the lagoon and the walkways are a Garden of Eden. Rooms are huge with good air con, fan and kitchen facilities. Youtube movies available on large screens in each room and the staff couldnt be more helpful. Breakfast is good, but theres no other meal options unless you walk to another nearby lagoon resort.

A Hidden Gem! The Lagoon Gardens was amazing! Our hosts Morgan and Annika welcomed us like family and delivered an experience like no other. This time at the Lagoon Gardens shaped our great experience in Vanuatu! We are looking forward to recommending this place to our friends. The waterfront views with kayaking was great. Beautiful jungle vibe with the swimming pool oasis added a special touch. Thanks to Morgan, Annika, and Mary for a great stay!

My sister and I really enjoyed staying at Lagoon Gardens. It felt like a home away from home. The staff were so friendly and made you feel welcome. I liked the kayaking and the breakfasts overlooking the lagoon. Transport was easy to get to and the staff supported us with booking transport when needed. As two girls travelling alone not once did we feel unsafe. Thank you to Morgan the owner and staff for taking car of us and making us feel so welcome! This was definitely the best location for us to stay when we visited Efate. We'll definitely stay here again!
