We had a two bedroom apartment. It was very clean but everything is getting old.
The staff were amazing!
We went to the restaurant once and the food was good but we were the only people in the restaurant so we decided to venture out every day to eat.

Apart from 1 staff member, the rest were really rude and dismissive. Shower was mouldy, breakfast was usually a little stale, sheets did not feel clean/my skin itched like crazy everytime I was in bed. Restaurant food tasted good but staff were inconsistent in providing table service. Wifi was absolutely shocking, I barely even had service in my room so I couldn't even use mobile data. I was advised the lagoon was contaminated when I arrived so no swimming or any water sports apart from kayaking. The resort itself is beautiful but overall was quite expensive for the poor experience.

Poppys is in a quiet part of town on the Lagoon. Well appointed rooms, nice gardens and view across the lagoon. Staff are friendly and helpful. A very relaxing stay.

Loved the bungalows on the beach and kitchen and spa. Wifi was a bit patchy but suffice. Easy walk to town. Sports bar next door was good to watch the football. Wish there was a bit more atmosphere say happy hour etc to meet other guests.

Loved staying at Poppy’s. The garden bungalows are perfect and have everything you need. All of the staff are welcoming and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. You can walk to town in about 15 minutes but be aware there’s a very long steep driveway to get to the road. We’d definitely stay there again.

Lovely rooms. Clean and functional despite the need for a little maintenance around the place. Beautiful surroundings. Helpful staff and delicious cocktails. Very relaxing.

Is a beautiful place to stay. Rained a lot during stay which played havoc with the pools. Staff are lovely. Rooms are spacious. The place as a whole is probably in need of some TLC and more information available on things to do would be handy. But I would return

Value for money. I appreciate that they accommodated our request for a different studio when the allotted studio did not suit my wife. Thank you.

Overall we had a very comfortable stay. The rooms have everything you need and are well equipped. There are two air conditions in the 2 bedroom apartments which helped to cool down the entire apartment.
Rooms were cleaned everyday which was nice. Pillows and bedding were very comfortable.
Some issues were the apartments did not have blockout blinds although we were told nobody could see in at night you could see through the window and also it was very bright.
There was only one area to put your clothes in one of the rooms.
Only two locks on two of the doors.
The power cut out a few times when we would start appliances and one of the power points were burnt.
But overall I would stay at Poppy’s again. My family really enjoyed their time.

Poppies is a nice relaxing bush setting.
The lagoon is not blue and clean. We were advised the lagoon is not safe to swim in, the water is murky light brown.
The staff are friendly, like all people from Vanuatu we met.
We had no shampoo/conditioner in our room until the 3rd day of our stay after asking for 3 days.
The free continental breakfasts are generous and good variety of food delivered to your room with instant coffee.

Very nice little resort on the outskirts of Port Vila. There are walking distance to most things in the town. The staff is very friendly, and you almost fell as part of their family. Sometimes it took a little time to get the food in the restaurant tough.

Everything was great! Some staff were a little pushy, but the majority were absolutely brilliant! Would stay again in a heartbeat! Facilities were great and the access to free kayaks and paddle boards was awesome.

Out of the 3 places we stayed we liked this place the best. We were in a studio apartment towards the top. The rooms are a bit old but clean and presentable. Beds and pillows are comfortable. Staff serviced our room daily. Nice bathroom products and amenities available. Air con worked great. Breakfast is decent; fruit, pastries and cereal available. We had dinner here twice. One was the traditional night with a feast which was fun, it included kava tasting, dinner and dessert, traditional band and dancing. The other night we ordered off the menu and our food was nice. Make sure you give some tidbits to the little cats that reside in the garden. The staff at Poppy's are very helpful and friendly. They helped us book tours and called buses for us etc. Someone even came to our room when it was raining to give us an umbrella! We made use of the kayaks and used the pool too; great to have these facilities. The location of Poppy's is good, there are quite a few places to see and eat at within walking distance. Spice restaurant is close by. It is quiet on the lagoon and has a lovely view. Catching buses from here is easy. If you are elderly or not able to walk a lot be warned the driveway in and out of the resort is very steep (as well as to some of the rooms), for those that are able though it is a great workout for the bum. No complaints really. Only annoying thing is wifi is only available at reception but it's not that big of a deal.

being able to walk outside our door onto a small grass area and then lovely sandy beach. Breathtaking view every morning:)

Poppy's was a disappointment from the start. This place is so overpriced it is unreal. For the sake of brevity I'll list the issues:
(1) The breakfast offering was very limited - for the price we paid to stay here it was frankly offensive. The muesli ran out on the first morning and wasn't replaced for three days. I bought my own from the local shop; I want something better than cocopops/cornflake. The breakfast set-up is inefficient with items constantly needing replenishing - but not until you go to use it to find the milk/coffee/dry pancakes are empty. I also do not appreciate staff at breakfast interrupting my eating (of what little there was available) to encourage me to buy artwork from the woman's stall opposite. No matter how politely put, this was completely inappropriate.
(2) The wifi offering was abysmal - exceptionally slow yet cafes in town managed to offer much better internet for the cost of a coffee.
(3) Contacting the hotel prior to arrival was an utter farce. Hotel non-responsive for weeks on email. They do not use the hotels.com portal and phoning is very expensive. Even after all this hassle the transfer was arranged wrongly and I spotted a massive overcharge on checkout. Really not good enough.
(4) A member of staff offered to arrange us a taxi to Mele yet failed to tell us this was five times more expensive than us getting a taxi from the top of the street. Felt ripped-off.
I would not stay here again and would encourage others to avoid too.

A good central location in Vila. Rooms had cooking facilities so would especially suit those wishing to save on buying meals.
