Port Vila after the earthquake
Nice resort with a nice restaurant and helpful staff. The downtown was closed because of the December 2024 earthquake. This wasn't the resort's fault, but it meant we weren't able to see much in the capital city.

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.

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.

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.

Poppies accommodation
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.

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.

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.

The property far exceeded our expectations. Everything is in perfect condition, comfortable, private, quiet and beautifully landscaped. 3 great pools- one is adults only!! Good location. Quite central despite town being closed from the quake. The internet wasn’t overly reliable so I’d recommend a local sim or roaming data. I think the wifi issues were also quake related. An unusual time to be in Vanuatu however Poppy’s provided a great accommodation and you wouldn’t even know there was a 7.3 just 2 weeks prior.

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.

Very nice little resort
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.
