Hotels With Parking in Shefa, Vanuatu

I was initially very satisfied with this hotel, but my entire experience was completely ruined on the morning of March 29 at 10:00 AM. A staff member knocked on my door in an extremely aggressive and urgent manner. Even after I clearly told them to wait, they continued banging loudly on the door without any respect for my privacy. When I finally opened the door, expecting something urgent or important, I was shocked to find out that they were simply asking whether I needed housekeeping. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable. There was no emergency, no prior request, and no justification for such intrusive and disrespectful conduct. This was not only unprofessional, but also extremely disturbing. I do not need or appreciate this kind of forced “morning call.” It shows a serious lack of basic training and respect for guests. Because of this incident, I immediately decided to check out and leave the hotel. I strongly do NOT recommend this property.

This hotel has many entertainment activities, such as golf competitions and morning hikes, which are all organized by the entertainment department employees. There is also a children's club for those with children, where employees teach children how to make local cookies, and there are also all kinds of recreational facilities. Breakfast was very rich. There is a resident singer in the evening. Awesome~ Will come again next time!

The resort is just so gorgeous. Love every corners of it. The bungalow has equipped a private pool and large garden for family Highly recommend

We stayed at Tamanu for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The room was cozy and beautifully maintained, offering a perfect space to relax. The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Fiona and Anthony did a fantastic job managing the resort — their attention to detail and warm hospitality really stood out. A special thank you to Anthony, who went above and beyond by personally returning our wallet after we accidentally left it behind in the room. We are truly grateful for such kindness and care. Highly recommend Tamanu for anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free getaway!

I got upgraded to a suite, which was absolutely fantastic. Being on a private island gave it a real 'island survival' vibe. They even had a buffet and show in the evening, making it a truly unique experience. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit. It was amazing, simply amazing!

It is a very convenient location to the Airport. The staff are constantly cleaning the environment. The management are not quite fluent in English, which creates a language barrier for effective communication. The food options are not great. I attempted to order one chicken dumplings meal from an outdated restaurant menu, but I was told that it’s no longer available. So, if you want better food options, it’s best to walk around town. Be prepared to give 1,000 VATU, for key deposit that would be returned upon checkout. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to others!

The shower floor would be more than necessary, now water is spraying a lot to the wide area. Morning really small, cheaper places richer and more diversified. The pool area is a little too shadowed if you want to be in the sun. The beach was from the bottom of a sad feeling slope - doesn't want to go to swim. For snorkeling you need to go farther if you want to see something. The room we got was wonderful - our own terrace and garden directly to the sea. In other rooms only a balcony, not at all so nice. The room is spacious and cool. Beds good and cottage options. AC worked well. Kitchen equipment ok. The kajaks and the bathrooms are a nice addition. Location a little away, but if you also like walking, this is working. The staff was careful and friendly, communication in advance worked well. A shower curtain would be more than necessary, now water splashes over a much wider area. Breakfast really poor, cheaper places have more and more variety. Extra charge is immediately wanted for additional options. Pool area a bit too shady if you want to be in the sun. The beach was a bit muddy at the bottom - you don't feel like going swimming. You have to go further for snorkeling if you want to see something. The room we got was lovely - private terrace and yard directly on the sea. Other rooms only have a balcony, not that nice at all. Room spacious and clean. Beds good and pillow options. AC worked well. Kitchen equipment ok. Kayaks and paddleboards a nice addition. Location a bit remote, but if you also like walking then this is functional. The staff was caring and friendly, communication in advance worked well.

This isn't exclusive to this hotel, but the road leading up to it is full of potholes, and just driving back and forth to the city center in a rental car was exhausting. The hotel's main building is incredibly grand, and that's what attracted me to book it. I was given a room on the first floor, and the view was just so-so. The humidity was awful; even with the air conditioning on, the sheets felt clammy. I thought the price was quite high.

Friendly and helpful staff. The furniture is old and needs to be updated. Hot water is unstable, it was often necessary to rinse with cold water. A broken clock hung on the wall, which was very annoying. At night, small lizards run along the walls inside the bedroom and the ceiling, which made sounds, which is also not pleasant to hear at night. The pillows are long and hard. Dirt accumulated in the washing machine in the tank, which did not wash, but, on the contrary, stained the washed clothes.

Pros: Convenient- very near the airport for 150VT ~ 250VT Can walk to a nearby national bank to exchange local currency Close to a cafe (too hot) Can checkout late until lunch for free~500VT/hr Tour operators know this place and can request pickup/dropoff here Kind staff and manager Cons: Need to pay 1K VT for AC (the type of room I booked) Soap only, no other toiletries 20 mins walk to mall for restaurants Cash only
