The buggy service around the Island is pretty ordinary . Granted that they have to pick up and drop off guests all the time but there should be some priority given to some cases . eg: Like waiting to go to the airport with baggage. We waited for 45mins before we decided to walk up to the reception . we booked it for 12pm ( Dep at 1520hrs ) and at 1245 we decided to walk . This is not the fault of the operators ( drivers ) but management must give priority to departing Guests. More Island activities are needed to enhance the Experience. Maybe Jetskis .. More water activities , Also the Guest Experience staff ( who were great) should all be on the same page when selling activities ... sometimes we got 3 different versions of the same activities with no definitive proposals or offer . We give them credit as they tried their best to offer the deals . Overall we were very happy with the staff
( brilliant ) . Its a beautiful Island resort with So Much potential to grow your business. Suggest some input from the locals and survey guests on the spot instead of Online reviews ( most will not do it ) . Thank you for a great time.

Iririki Island Resort was such a beautiful experience, everyone was so kind and welcoming. The resort itself is gorgeous and easy to take the ferry whenever you need to go. The deluxe ocean view room with a jacuzzi had the most incredible view. The staff were so lovely and the kitty was so sweet too. I did a couple tours arranged by Lavinia that I will remember forever. I will definitely be coming back soon and will stay longer next time. Can't wait to book my next stay at Iririki Island Resort & Spa!

Amazing place to stay, great room, great service. The pools were amazing and there was plenty of activities. The people were so nice and accomodating and helpful which made the stay all the better. Free breakfast everyday and it's a quality spread of food.
The ferry is always available and only takes 5 minutes. The main city is fine, but the seperation from there is really good.

before going we read a lot of rather negative reviews about facilities and standards. We have not ecperi4nced any of that - Our room was excellent, clean and facilities were all fine. The snorkelling area was not really anything to consider - no fish and nothing to look at. The service was great everyone super helpful, genuine smiles and helpful with nothing too much with the sole exception of a single western guy at the reception with a continous sour face who would not great anyone and appeared arrogant and seems to be in charge of the reception staff - sad amongst such genuine friendly and happy people. The excursions were fine except that the hotel person supposed to lead ours and provide sandwiches / drinks was over 40 minutes late to appear at the reception with the food and all waiting and we missed the bus on the shoreside....Overall there is nothing negative at all to say about the Resort, facilities and the friendly people there - Moanna in guest relations would have to be one of the prime assets this resort has - ever smiling with a lovely happy face and and able to arrange and fix just about anything. Go Moanna and thank you...

Good stuff: our room was nice and had a great view. The sunset pool was pretty nice. Great location a short ferry-ride from Port Villa town centre.
Bad stuff: Staff were indifferent at best, very poor service and staff didn’t really seem interested in helping. The “adults only” infinity pool was filthy and also always full of kids. Rooms were in poor repair in some areas - like multiple tiles lifting in shower and bath, hot water non-existent. The sunset pool is a long hike (about 800m) from the main side of the island - would be better if there was some kind of regular buggy service to ferry guests between the two. Food was average.
Overall the experience was disappointing and didn’t leave me wanting to come back. We had Occassion to stay briefly at two other hotels during our stay and both of them were much better especially in terms of staff & service.
