The hosts Damien and Caroline are amazing. Super friendly and nothing was ever an issue. The snorkeling is some of the best in the world, just off the jetty! The bungalows are spacious and equipped with everything you need.

We had an amazing stay at Island Magic Resort. Our ocean front bungalow was fantastic! So spacious & clean! The snorkelling off the jetty was great, so many gorgeous fish to see. We ate at the on-site restaurant, Birdies & were very impressed. The hosts Caroline & Damien were so welcoming & during our stay ensured we were having a great time & very knowledgeable & helpful to plan our days. Highly recommended 👌

Beautiful island feel to the very comfortable bungalows. Smaller quiet resort and being self contained bungalows with a bar and restaurant on site, there are many options for meals.
We had family to take us around, so this is more for others information, not a dislike, just observation.
It is a fair way out and transport is limited to either using the local buses, taxi or hire a car.

Apartments were fantastic design.
WiFi was inconsistent.
2.5 / 5.0
Quiet and relaxing
Too far from anywhere unless you hire a car.
The facilities in the room could do with an update, rusted stove, fridge and ironing board.
Wifi was terrible.
Restaurant was expensive for very average food.

Delightful and helpful hosts; great having a restaurant on site (average prices) as it was a beautiful spot but perhaps a bit isolated without a car. Jumping off the jetty right by the edge of the reef was fabulous, but unfortunately bad weather meant we could only do this on our last day.
The gravel road was awaiting repairs once the rain cleared up, so it was challenging getting to and from the resort, but the owner dropped us at a restaurant and organised a taxi home for us one night. We ended up hiring a car.

I liked how it accomodated 4 families
It was a little far from town and restaurant wasn’t open the whole week
4.0 / 5.0
The amount of room we had in our bungalow and also the outdoor spaces. Great for the kids to run around and explore
It was a little moldy and run down but suited us fine

Staff were lovely in.. snorkeling is good
Restaurant only open Thurs to Sunday for lunch dinner. The resort advertises beachfront but there isn't a beach only deep water off a jetty/Wharf..not really suitable for kids or swimming

Comfortable bed and lounge suite. Excellent access to the sea via a ramp. Snorkelling was easy and fun.
Restaurant was closed on Tuesday evening when we hoped to have dinner.

The location was wonderful because it was right beside some of the best coral we have seen in years - just walk off the jetty and you were in wonderland - even corals we had not seen before, lots of reef fish and even a passing turtle.
There was a potholed road to negotiate to get there but hopefully it will be graded and sealed soon.
Geraldine was very helpful - she arranged to buy in some food as we were coming in late afternoon and had no food for dinner that night or breakfast next morning; she organised airport transfers and brought the bicycles out of storage for us to use.
There was no continental breakfast provided when it was meant to be part of the package. This will likely relate to just opening up from a long layoff and staffing/cost issues involved in opening the restaurant. Lunch and dinner were to start to happen from Thursday to Sunday.
After Covid disruptions the place was in need of some maintenance which was getting under way.
4.2 / 5.0
The apartments were spacious and comfortable.
Loved the large verandah and the cool breeze that flowed through the place.
They organised transfers that were to and from the bungalow, and Gerry checks to make sure you have what you need and goes out of her way to help organise day trips, breakfasts etc.
I had a wonderful time in Vanuatu with a self contained apartment helping to keep the food bill down.
The dirt road and distance from Port Vila caused a few drivers to try to charge more than they should.
Also the coast is too rough to snorkel whenever you'd like.
There is a smell in the cupboards I didn't like, it is probably just humidity caused as they were clean.
