5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

The Resort was stunning - set in acres of beautiful tropical gardens at the edge of the lagoon. Our Lagoon View Room had an outlook over one of the two swimming pools and the lagoon - just magnificent. Comfortable, clean room - loved the "firm" and "soft" labelling of pillows! Buffet breakfast was included - the omelet bar was so... More

I stayed at the same location 20 years ago when it was the Raddison and I was surprised how little had changed. While the rooms were refreshed, the same comments could be made. Expectations need to be lowered to avoid disappointment if comparing with top resorts in Australia or south east Asia. If it worries you that your orders are... More

We stayed in April with a large group. Kymberley and her staff were spectacular at listening to our needs and ensuring requests were met. We had a severe Coeliac travelling with us and the buffet was altered to include special foods and toaster just for her gluten free bread! Several of us had birthdays during our stay and the staff...

Stayed in May for 8 nights. Very picturesque resort. Main pool area so pretty next to the lagoon. Loved all the daily free experiences/ shows/ activities on offer from hermit crab racing to french wine tasting, fire dancing and underground cooking demonstration. Staff are shy and reserved initially but get to know you quite quickly and are friendly, always saying... More

From the welcome at the airport to the last day, this was a great place to stay. Entertainment is organized daily... Drinks with guests, fire dancing, kava tasting, live music... And the beds are so so so comfortable. We had a garden room and the balcony was a bit small so ask for a pool view. The staff are lovely... More

We stayed at the resort in April for 5 nights. Great property right on the lagoon. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.

We had our wedding there with 50+ of our immediate family and long term friends. And MOST of us stayed at the resort! Weather wasn't the best during early March due to wet season (and Cyclone Sandra was nearby too!) Accommodation is lovely especially now that it has been renovated. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were neat. Because we were... More

We have just returned from five glorious nights in Vanuatu. The Holiday Inn was the perfect choice. The Lagoon View Room was beautiful, overlooking a lush garden, inviting pool and of course the lagoon. The service, staff, meals and entertainment far exceeded our expectations. And the weather was great! . Anyone visiting Vanuatu should definitely take the Coongoola Cruise. We... More
