Fatumaru Lodge

They gave us a room on the ground floor facing the sea. The design of the doors is so extremely bad that, if you don't want anyone to see you (which is easy to be able to pass someone by the sea in some type of boat, or simply, that some other client decides to go to the pier that has the establishment, from where he can see you perfectly) You have to keep the doors closed, and as they are type "Louvre" and have no glass, the room will be completely dark and unable to see the outside; Why do I want a room with a view if I have to keep it closed ???? And not only for privacy, but also for security, since anyone can access by coming in a small boat. In addition, those doors that face the sea, do not have mosquito nets and as I said, neither crystals, allowing entry to all types of insects and in Port Vila, there are no shortage of mosquitoes. It is appreciated that the bed has a mosquito net (although the rest of the room will fill with mosquitoes if you don't close everything), but it would be much better if there were mosquito nets and, once again, able to see the beautiful views ... If you could enjoy them !!!! As if that were not enough, the interior lights are poor, which together with the fact that you cannot open the front exit, makes you feel locked. In addition, work was being done in the pool, which only let you two options: bathe with the workers next to you, or wait for them to finish their working day and leave. In these cases it would be appreciated that the establishment would have notified before confirming the reservation, in case we had decided to change to another, As if that were not enough, say that the smell in the area is like sewers and that you can not swim in seawater in 20 meters from the shore, as it is contaminated, as the Government warns. I apologise for my criticism for it staff, which is the best that the establishment has, always super friendly and kindly.

Breakfast was continental - no protein, served on the deck. Had to ask for milk for the coffee. Location good - sea view. Air conditioning in the bedrooms. Close to town, a short walk to good restaurants or taking the bus was an option to get further into town.

Were not advised building work was being done on the pool bar area. Access to pool during the day was not possible & swimming in the sea was prohibited. Noisy during the day. Deck was also under maintenance and partly unusable.
