It was disappointing. On my arrival the beddings had tiny ginger ants, on the floor, and everywhere. The sheets were not fresh, some sort of fluid mark was visible on the top sheet (the bed only had a top sheet. No blanket). One of the staff change the top sheet and sprayed the bed with mortein and on the bed head wall. I was not happy having the bed and near the pillows being sprayed with pesticide but I thought it was the only way to get rid of the ants. Also, you had to pay extra for the AC remote control to use the air-conditioning. After sitting in the room for couple of hours, the ants were still visible and I was getting bitten so I complained and asked for a refund and to shorten my stay to one night as I was booked for 3 nights. The staff were apologetic and they moved me to another room with no TV and Internet connection was only available in a corner of the room. Until now, a week since I've contacted Expedia to get my refund, Expedia and I haven't heard from the property owner/manager.

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.

We stayed 11 days at The Lagoon Garden Resort, and while the property is a little dated and could use some TLC, it truly grew on us. At first, we were a bit taken aback as we expected something more modern and convenient, and even considered relocating. But after settling in and experiencing the warm hospitality, we’re really glad we stayed. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the view over the lagoon is beautiful — peaceful mornings and stunning sunsets. While the facilities are older and not luxurious, the genuine friendliness of the staff and owners more than made up for it. Melcom (a Kiwi) and Ani, the owners, were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always going out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Their care and personal touch make this place feel like home away from home. If you’re looking for a high-end luxury resort, this might not be for you. But if you value authentic island hospitality, a relaxed atmosphere, and great value, this is an excellent choice. It’s a bit outside of Port Vila (30 -45 min walk), but local buses make it easy and cheap to get around. While this isn’t a luxury resort, it’s perfect for travellers looking for comfort, genuine hospitality, and great value. Plus, you can easily visit nearby luxury resorts for the day — most welcome outside guests if you buy food or drinks, so you can enjoy a touch of luxury without the high price tag.

The location of the Resort on the channel between No1 and No2 lagoons is just incredible. At the moment the Resort only has 6 rooms and is an Adult Only Resort and unfortunately it suffered some substantial damage from the Earthquake last year so the Owner is currently trying to build 3 more rooms along with carrying out repairs from the Quake but none of this impacted on our time there. From all my overseas travels over the last 40 years, this is the first time I have ever felt like a review was deserved. The view of the Lagoon from the Balconies of the 2 Lagoon View rooms is to die for and the sunsets across the water are spectacular

We stayed for only one night. I found it overpriced in comparison to the condition of the accommodation & other resorts in top condition. Also on top they charged us 500 VAT extra just for the use of A/C remote. Bathroom was in a very poor condition, very old, the door would not open or close properly. Water running from the toilet cistern continuously. We could hear dogs barking throughout the night till around 3-4 am even though wearing ear plugs. Overall it was an ok place to stay for one night but definitely overpriced

Like most places in Vanuatu, repair work is in progress as a result of the earthquake but this place is like visiting old friends. The management and staff are so engaging, supportive and obliging, Anika always has a smile and willingly helps with facts, recommendations, directions or ideas. Morgan is a born entertainer with some great tales to tell. Their local knowledge is wonderful and they can direct you to trusted people for special outings, shopping, sightseeing or transfers. The accommodation is not sophisticated but the rooms are a generous size, maintained, affordable and clean. The surrounding gardens are absolutely beautiful with so many exquisite tropical plants and birds calling and there is a resident cat and iguana to add to the mix. Breakfast is basic, fresh made daily, eaten overlooking the water, taking in the expansive views of the lagoon. Location is quite convenient with buses running past regularly, currency change and supermarket nearby.

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.
