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!

Very welcoming staff who make each day enjoyable. Relaxing vibe with lots of activites available. Rooms were comfortable and spread out across the island.

Absolute piece of paradise. Enjoyed every minute of being at Erakor. It was so hard to leave. The staff felt like the family you never had. So much warmth and kindness

Great location and snorkelling. Easy layed back environment Lovely staff and enjoyable for the kids. Even better the wifi and tech was basic. Perfect for a quiet island getaway

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.

Amazing staff, great with the kids. It felt like you were staying with family. Clean facilities and amazing snorkeling

Great attentive staff, a very lovely and relaxing island

Excellent staff made you feel important. Always smiling and joking. They were very accommodating. Very relaxing lots of day trippers coming to see what they were missing out on. Intend on going back next year. Hopefully with the whole family.

Friendly helpful staff in a slice of paradise

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!

Fantastic place! Great facilities, friendly staff and amazing food!A few tooMany starfish on the beach though

Loved the safety for the children and the atmosphere

I love my holiday there, very peaceful and quiet, the hotel has everything to make the guests comfortable, staff is perfect, room is perfect, view is great and water is warm.

Friendly Staff, excellent beach, good selection on the menu ,, above average service in the restaurant.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location and activities for kids.

Everything was fantastic, hard to fault. The staff were wonderful, especially Kevin at the kids club.

great family property.........................................

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!

The water is unreal. Could sit and look at it all day. We keep coming back for that reason.

.staff very helpful, friendly,communicate well . a few improvements in rooms > rack or hooks for clothes in shower room, had no tv(controller absent)

Really nice resort , great staff , good food , stunning location. We booked very last minute and had a garden room which was ‘functional ‘ . Beach setting excellent, boat to island wonderful.

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!
