Independent - accommodation in Efate

We had a wonderful stay at the Warwick. The staff was super friendly, helpful and welcoming-special shout out to Fraser! The property is well kept, gardens are beautiful and the view across the lagoon is stunning. We stayed in a garden villa which was nice, clean and comfortable- easily fit a family of 3. The beds were really comfortable. The breakfast buffet was nice with a lot of options however the dinner buffet lacked variety and we found it repetitive over the week. Luckily we were told about some local restaurants (three pigs and banyan beach club) which we visited to mix up the dinner options. Overall the food was ok. Kids eat free (including lunch) which was awesome, however the kids options were also limited. The pool area was beautiful, clean and really well maintained. Water sports (kayaks /padels etc) were a great offering to guests, we used the water sports most days. The only negative for us was the kids club, unfortunately it lacked options and enthusiasm, it’s a little tired and under resourced. The lady who runs the club was lovely and I felt safe leaving my daughter there, however there were little activities organised and even though the schedule looks impressive in reality most days the main activities didn’t happen. In fairness this was due to lack of resources available post the earth quake so we feel in time this should improve. Overall our stay was wonderful, the staff are all so lovely and the property was really well kept. I’d highly recommend!

Such a great spot for spending a few days in Vanuatu. The beachfront Fare was everything we could have wanted, loved stepping straight out onto the sand before diving into clear warm water and exploring all the coral and fish on the reef. And going to sleep to the sound of waves was very soothing. We also loved the outdoor shower. Staff were very friendly and dining and bar options at the hotel, as well as in local area were great.
