I would 100% go back and stay there again. It was nice to have a place that was so friendly, clean, comfortable and central. It was also nice to know that Elliot was willing to help us out on the island even when we had left his hotel. We spent 4 nights there and it was incredible. We could walk into town, it was quiet in the room, air con was on when we arrived and the wifi there is actually good. Then when we left at 4:30am to head to the airport Elliot surprised us there with breakfast and juice because he knew everything was shut and we’d be hungry. What an absolute legend.

extended Vanuatu holiday moved closer to town: claims 4 star accommodation but 2.5 phone gas cooker, and hot water not working Staff on check in didn't explain any problems. Moved out the next day Manager respectful and understanding
3.0
Close to town, two bedrooms easy parking, rate for the amount of people we were was reasonable. The local staff were very nice and helpful but challenged by the issues we faced.
Misleading about the internet which was a huge problem and it’s obvious that it was an ongoing matter. Even when I spoke to the owner about it he started to argue trying to blame the local IT guys for being slack. We asked for a router to be installed but still didn’t entirely fix the issue. So couldn’t really do my work but the rudeness of the owner was not worth the hassle to bring this up again.
Has to remind the staff to clean the shower and toilets. The whole week none of the empty toiletries were thrown out from the bathroom!
The location is great and the property needs some maintenance but is still worth the stay for the $$$$
4.0
The apartment is located in front of the main road, it's quite noise.
There were couples of big flying and crawling cockroaches outside of room at night, one was even flying into bedroom. They should do insecticide work.
On the bright side, the apartment is quite spacious and have a nice sea view.

Place is central to the business and shops in Port Vila. Apartments are well sized , however amenities are in average condition. Some apartments are better than others with renovation work going on. If you manage to get a good condition apartment on the first floor, then it is value for money. Do check on the condition of the rooms with the staff, if possible after reservation and get an assurance on the condition of the apartment allocated for the stay

Great location walking distance from market and shops. Room design was great spacious and comfortable. A few issues with minor maintenance and with a mixed up booking but eventually all sorted.

This was my second stay at Mariner Apartments.All rooms have views over the water to Iririki island.If you are not into resorts,then this could be for you.The building is quite old and could do with with a refit.As usual,the staff are lovely.TIP.if you just wont somewhere to sleep,then the ground floor studio apartment is for you.If you plan to spend some time in you apartment,book one of 2 bed,ers,upstairs.They are big and spacious,with better views.
There is a pool,but remember,this is not a resort,and the price reflects accordingly. WILL BE BACK.

We enjoyed our stay and the location was very convenient being only 300 meters from town and the markets. The old style beds,were comfortable but very high off the ground and difficult for a short older adult to climb into. Everyone was very friendly and toting for business from the locals, whilst it occurred, was not really pushy. Buses and meals at the markets were very cheap.

Convenient for just about everything in Port Vila

We spend nine relaxed days here. In the first room we got, the internet did not work. Then we were upgraded to a very spacious penthouse apartment with a beautiful view, modern furnished and equipped. At first sight it looked very good, but unfortunately several things needed repair and a thorough cleening ought to be done. The swimmingpool was very dirty the first couple days, we asked a couple of times for cleaning it, and after three days it was cleaned. A shame that these things were not in order, otherwise it would have been perfect.
4.0
Nice apartments with large bedrooms, well functioning air conditioning and wifi. The apartments are located close to city centre, and have balconys facing the ocean (though main road passing right outside). Not very clean upon arrival and the kitchen is a bit under-equipped, but otherwise very good considering the price.

We were given the Penthouse Apartment. It is huge. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large living, entry and kitchen/dining. Small balcony running the width of the apartment on the street side.
We used the bedroom at the rear of the apartment and found it quiet.
The ensuite is odd in that it only has a bathtub, no shower. There is a shower in the other bathroom but for couples sharing this could be an issue.
Furnishings show age and use marks and there is a patchy supply of cooking implements. A vast number of plates, not much cutlery. No salad bowls or platters but several crab-boil size pots. Only one frypan and that was aluminium, old and not up to much.
We were a little disappointed in the faded-glory look of the place on arrival but soon settled in and came to relish the space and comfort.
Staff are obliging once you can get them to understand what you are saying/asking. Bislama has different thought patterns to English and that creates many misunderstandings. Persevere, find different ways to say the same thing and you should eventually get there.

We like this place but were a little disappointed; mostly little things that can be easily fixed. Wifi not as good most likely due to room location, not enough utensils in the kitchen, they changed the sheets each day (asked them not to) but not the towels. But the staff were friendly, we still love the location and overall the room was nice. Hopefully these little annoyances can be fixed for next time.

This apartment was very comfortable & convenient with a great view. It is walkable to all CBD conveniences. Kitchen facilities caters perfectly to longer stays. Office hours are limited however.

The hotel room we were in was in a poorly maintained state, shower, oven and some lights not working, we had to shower in a different room. both our beds were broken. BUT the hotel staff was very friendly and tried to come up with solutions and they made the stay tolerable, if not for them it would have been quite frustrating.

I have stayed at many 4+ stars in Port Vila and they all are wishful thinking except for this place. Everything is immaculate and in excellent maintained condition. My fussy wife has no complaints here which is a relief. I always stay here when in town.
OTHER 4 star venues around Port Vila are run down with things like frayed towels, AC that doesn't work and sub standard. I will never stay anywhere else but Mariner Apartments from now on.

Good value. Close enough to town. Onsite manager is very helpful who arranged very early airport transfer for us. Just some hiccups to sort out the water heater at night when you cannot find any staff on duty, anyway we figure it out ourselves.
1.5
The best part of this hotel is the studio layout with the balcony that makes it so easy to pick up delicious fresh fruit and veggies from the market and cook breakfast and maybe dinner at home. The rooms are well decorated, the bed is average and it is generally pretty clean. However, if you are coming to Vila for business and require a stable internet connection, you will find nothing but frustration here.
