We had 4 nights at Erakor Island Resort, and had a fantastic time. The rooms were very comfortable, ours had views of the water which was great(thanks for the upgrade!) and the staff were fantastic and couldnt help enough. The restaurant was very good, with the option of themed nights on certain days, and the pizza/cinema night on a Tuesday. More than enough activities to keep busy if you want. Snorkelling straight off the beach. Thanks again.

Gorgeous little units, very clean. Great views. Food is a bit expensive but very good. Fay was our waitress and was absolutely brilliant. Take some water shoes (reefies) as there is lots of starfish and some non venomous snakes you don’t want to stand on. We did loads of snorkeling and kayaking. If you have kids they have a kids club and play area. If you don’t have kids like us it’s big enough resort you don’t have to see or hear them. We only did 3 days, but wish we had done more. We had a room with private pool and beach, was well worth the extra spend. Will absolutely come back here again. Loved it.

This was a great deal through Expedia for seven nights and accommodation and flights. We arrived middle of the night and the travel arranged by the staff was seamless. From the 20 minute drive from airport to the five minute ferry trip to the island. We were very thankful for John who was very gracious and assured us that it wasn't a hassle being available to ferry us across after midnight. Our villa was incredibly spacious for two people with a porch overlooking turquoise waters which provided hours of great snorkeling for us during our stay. When we weren't snorkeling, we were lazing in the balcony reading,enjoying the sound of the ocean, and local children laughing across the waters. The humidity was tempered by the ocean breeze which helped dry our clothes quickly. The wifi worked amazing considering it's an island. The staff however are the main asset of this resort. I can't say enough about them. The grounds are gorgeous and immaculately kept. They are always warm, welcoming and incredibly attentive, especially in the restaurant. The lovely Annie will make you feel like a special guest every morning at breakfast, Natalie will check in on you during breakfast and answer questions and provide information. The music played at the restaurant also added to the holiday vibes. Put your privilege and entitlement aside Western travellers, and don't forget to show your appreciation for the care provided by resilient and hardworking Vanuatuan people for your holiday enjoyment.

The ultimate Island Paradise. From the moment we say the picture of the island we knew we wanted to stay there. It didn't disappoint mostly. The welcome, the staff, the food, the view right outside our door, the snorkeling, the peace and quiet for relaxing all 5 star. The food was fantastic, fresh and tasty. The only slight disappointment was the villas. Very dated, broken taps and door handles, bathroom old and needed updating and we felt the accommodation was way overpriced - but the position and to be able to walk out the back door into the lagoon to snorkel and see tropical fish made up for it. All in all the most memorable relaxing holiday. Highly recommend.

Boat transfer. Quiet. Friendly staff.
Didn’t like: no tv, very bad chef for breakfast, tiny room, rooms very expensive compared to other hotels and comparable quality of resorts.

My family (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed at Erakor Island for 8 nights in January 2023. The resort is on its own island, which is a 5 minute free ferry ride from the jetty in Efate, which itself is about a 15 minute bus ride from the centre of Port Vila.
The island is stunningly beautiful, with crystal blue waters surrounding the coconut and palm jungle. The resort is very low scale and laid back - accommodation is in a series of detached buildings scattered around the island, with shared facilities including the restaurant, pool area and a few mixed purpose huts.
Given the relative isolation of the island, we ate most meals in the resort's restaurant. Food quality and variety was good and the value was fair. Service was sometimes on "island time" but always extremely friendly. Breakfast (both buffet and al a carte options) are included in the room rate.
For me and the kids the highlight of the island was the water sports. Snorkelling gear and kayaks/canoes/paddleboards are all available to borrow for as long as you want for no additional charge. The snorkelling around the island was quite impressive, with a large range of tropical fish, coral and plentiful giant starfish.
We stayed in a garden 2 bedroom unit. This was comfortable but with a weird layout, as you need to go through the bathroom to get from one bedroom to the other. There is no living area in this unit, so you need to sit outside or on the bed if you want to escape the sun or rain.
Overall a fantastic trip!

The property description of our chosen room on Woyif was not correct and we bought this to the attention on the property manager who promptly relocated us to a room more like the description we chose. This was handled well, but poor water pressure in the shower most mornings and a saggy bed were not ideal. The staff were amazingly great and helpful and the dining options were very nice with 5 star service and a team who went out of there way to make you feel welcome. All up a very nice resort but not quite what I expected for waht we paid. But rooms appear to be at capacity at all times, so they seem to have it right for the market.

We had the best stay at Erakor. From the moment you get to the resort it feels like paradise. The location, the water, the staff…it was all amazing. Sitting back at night listening to the water slowly roll in just outside the window was unforgettable. Can not recommend this place high enough

We had a beautiful relaxing week holiday at Erakor Island Resort. Our pool/spa room was fabulous and the staff very attentive and friendly. The food was great too. We loved using the kayaks and going snorkeling from the island. We’d definitely recommend staying here.

We had an amazing stay, knowing they were just opening after covid we knew things wouldn’t be full capacity but they made every effort to give us the full experience. The staff go above and beyond, they just made the trip phenomenal. Our bungalow was clean and gorgeous and opened onto the beach. Plenty to do on the island, and the Melanesian feast night was wonderful! Pizza and movie night on the beach was a great night too! We will defiantly be back!

The island was beautiful and the staff super friendly.Some of the free water sports gear was a bit average but its free so we swapped them out for better ones. House cleaning also didnt replace our towels very well.

This place is great! It is not a large resort, so its easy to walk everywhere. We have a 5 year old so he could run around with the friends he made and we did not need to look too far to find him. The staff are super friendly and helpful too. Its also super easy to get to Port Vila if you want to pick up some fruit from the market. Just recently the pool was completed, so that was a plus and there are plans for a gym early this year and breakfast bar. Well be back!

This island is definitely the place to stay in Vanuatu! Everyday we were met with friendly staff, smiling faces, beautiful weather and a private beach with stunning clear blue ocean! The ferry to and from is frequent and free so it is super easy to head to the mainland. We loved being met in the morning by Annie for breakfast and the gardeners were exceptionally friendly and would gather young coconuts for us. During our stay they had a variety of activities and a Melanesian buffet night + fire show. The beach water sports are all free.
I would say a couple of things need improving. Our room was a garden bungalow with no curtains and it was quite noisy with the air-conditioning. There are no TVs in these rooms and the beds have no mattress toppers meaning the gap is very prominent when two twins are together. Other than these small elements, we would definitely come back and recommend!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
My friends and I stayed at the aqua blue beach house. The rooms were really spacious and clean with more than enough supply of toiletries, clean towels & extra blankets. All the staff were super friendly and genuinely helpful. They ensured our trip was stress-free and hassle-free by taking care of all the bookings for tours, restaurants, etc. The views from the island were absolutely breathtaking. The resort also provided complimentary water sport facilities like kayaks, reef shoes & snorkeling gear.

Great location, wonderful views, tasty food and friendly service. Our room was tidy, cozy, but a bit small to my liking. Next time will definitely upgrade to a room with private deck.

Very warm welcome, nice food and excellent service. The hotel is exactly as described, on a paradisiac little island and with all beach facilities: snorkelling, canoes, paddle board...there is a real authenticity about it which is mostly thanks to the lovely team working there. We loved our 3 days spent there!
