Very quite and beautiful. It is somewhat far away from the next property, however, the city is still easily in walkable distance. Pretty much perfect

Was a clean and relaxing place to stay for our last night in Vanuatu. We did experience some issues with the electrics in our room switching on and off, but It seemed to come right eventually. Overall a pleasant stay, thanks!

The location is excellent, about 1.5 km to market and central of the city.

I loved staying at the lodge. It is close to a lot of Port Villa's attractions and town. Lovely staff and facilities. My only issue was the hot water. I only managed 2 days out of 7 to get one. The weather was warm but not warm enough for a cold shower. I would still stay again at the lodge but would hope the hot water system will improve.

This was a small boutique hotel, fairly quiet and nice views over the lagoon. The room was clean and the bed extremely comfortable, unfortunately we had several power outages through out our stay, at times became very difficult for my daughter and 12 week old baby especially in the evenings. It also interfered each time with the tv so ended up with no Netflix, which we only watched at bed time. The pool was nice a few mosaic tiles missing on the steps, but nice and clean. The decking around the pool in areas needs attention as a little unsafe. It was a shame that the wooded louvre doors didn’t have mosquito netting on so we could have the slats open at night. The staff were helpful

It was lovely to be able to have a morning swim in the lagoon each day. An easy walk into town and multiple waterside restaurants and bars. The hotel is a great compromise of being just far enough out of town to be quiet, but still walkable.

The staff at Fatumaru were very friendly and helpful. Comfy bed with large mosquito net (essential!) and a beautiful water view to wake up to. It's walkable to everything yet is super quiet so easy to get a good night's sleep. As from other reviews, the dripping shower was still there so would recommend bringing ear plugs. Also make sure you don't leave any food crumbs around as an ant party will arrive without delay.

Great little resort, close to a few restaurants and bars. Excellent customer service by the staff there! I would recommend it to anyone visiting Port Vila

Fatumaru Lodge is a hidden gem! About 10-15 minute walk from the main strip of shops and right on the water which was lovely. Only downside was the wifi/tv being pretty unreliable, but really not important in a beautiful place like Vanuatu!

If you are traveling with a lot of luggage, be sure to arrange for a taxi. There is a steep, tight turn that many transports are not able to make, including the pick-up to return to the airport. The night guard was very helpful, but it was difficult to get all of our suitcases up to the turn-off for the early morning airport pick up. There was no mosquito net on the single bed for our daughter and the balcony was unscreened. We all three slept in the King size bed (which was quite comfortable). There were only 2 towels, and since we came late and left early, we could not request another. The shower dripped all night long. We had a late arrival and appreciated the flexibility of staff to help us out with that. Our quick overnight was probably not adequate to give a fair trial, but we were not so positively impressed that we feel compelled to return.

The property was lovely, overlooking a lagoon part of the ocean.. great for kayaking. Lovely bungalows, pool, flowers. Friendly, helpful, staff. Rooms nice and cool. Shower leaked a bit but not a big deal. Pleasant pool area. Easy to get a mini van for rides into town or Mele beach on the road by driveway.

Whilst the rooms have been built in a beautiful way which reminds of an Italian albergo the property is in need of some TLC. Our shower head was half blocked and dripped all day and night. The bathroom tiles are grubby. Beds and rooms have been tidy and there is a little outside kitchenette and seating area on the balcony. Pool would also need a clean. Staff have been very friendly and helpful. Good options are a short walk or bus ride away which didn’t bother us. There is a great cafe/ bakery down the road in the shopping center and heaps of restaurants in town.

Location was quiet and convenient to city center. Plenty of food around the hotel and the staff was excellent.

If staying in Port Vila this is a good option. Just a short walk from city center. Lovely place with a nice room, pool and free kayaks and paddle board. Depending on your neighbors, it can be noisy in the rooms.

Very nice resort very well located at the entrance of Port-Vila, we would definitely go back again. Just be prepared with mosquito repellent!

Great location. Beautiful view when the sun sets over the water. Very nice and friendly staff. Easy access from the airport. Good dinner locations within walking distance.

Its my second stay.The hotel is great with very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are very spacious with great views of the bay. The only area of improvement is that some maintenance is needed to keep it a great place to stay.

The absolute water front is brilliant laying in bed. It was quiet, private, easy access to restaurants. It is a bit tired but excellent value for the money

The property is in a great position Right on the water the bed was very comfortable premium mattress.could do with with some money spent on the interiors Very run down What would make us return were the staff Julie , Jennifer , Fiona and Mary made our stay ,their warm smile’s and willingness to help are Fatumara Lodges best asset and I’m sure they are worth more money 😁🌴🌺🌸 good staff are hard to find

The resort is a very small resort, room well equip with functional kitchen. But not much outdoor activities can do at the resort.

We stayed at the Fatumaru Lodge the first 2 weeks of September,  this was our 2nd time we have stayed at Fatumaru. We requested the same unit as the first time when booking, Rae the manager took the time to email back to inform us she had pencilled the room in for us. We picked this unit as it has beautiful water front views, it is right next to the kayak and the stand up paddle boards which we used a few times a day.Rae and her lovely team of Julie and Jennifer are happy to help you out with anything you need, from answer question about transport where to go snorkeling or just to chat about their county and local customs.Isaac the handyman was very busy doing lots odds and ends around the place but he still found the time to say hello, he even carry our bags to our per ordered airport transfer.The cleaning staff did our room when we were out kayaking each morning by the time we got back our rooms were made up with nice fresh flower.From the welcoming drink on arrival to helping us with our bags everyone was so lovely we will becoming back to Port Vila and will be staying in the Fatumaru Lodge again.

This property was away from the hustle and bustle of town but within walking distance of amazing restaurants and bars. Great place for relaxing.

Beautiful beach front location.Good facilities available in room.Staff are outstanding.

The staff lead by Julie were excellent. We would recommend Fatumaru Lodge to anyone wishing to stay in Port Vila.

Nice quite spot, lovely location to stay, steep driveway.

Absolutely amazing, great location, great staff and plenty of things to do. Highly recommended place, and great for family.

It’s a boutique hotel and the staff were always there to help. There’s no onsite restaurant and breakfast cost additional. The harbour was a no go swim zone which is a shame.

Perfect place to relax

There are so many positives about this place. Firstly, its only a short walk to Tana Plaza and downtown Port Villa yet it is so private and in such a beautiful setting. We had the most the amazing room with the best view and acess to the water. Because there are not alot of rooms it was quiet and most of the time we had the pool to ourselves. The staff were awesome. So friendly and helpful. I am so happy we chose Fatumara over all of the other places and would definitely stay there again if we were ever lucky enough to re-visit Vanuatu.

The accommodation was ideal for us. The studio apartment is well appointed with a delightful outlook across the bay. The property is situated close to restaurants and shops and is just a short walk or bus ride to the hustle and bustle of the town. The staff could not have been better. Nothing was too much trouble, but in no way were they intrusive. The pool is delightful and the entire establishment had a lovely relaxed ambience.

A great hotel just outside the main town of Port Villa. A 15 minute walk gets you to the centre of the town. A 5 minute walk gets you to some restaurants/bars. Accommodation is relatively new and traditional decor makes it a charming and unique place to stay. Bed was very comfortable and everywhere was clean, neat and tidy. Unfortunately the shower was very temperamental, it was very hit and miss if you got a hot shower. We had a very early morning flight and a freezing shower at 4am was certainly one way to wake you up. The view from the hotel room over the river is amazing. Watching the sunset from the balcony is a must. The pool area was relaxing and there are bbq facilities if you wish to use them. There is also a small bar from which to get drinks. Overall this is an excellent place to stay, but the hot water does let it down.
