The ultimate Island Paradise. From the moment we say the picture of the island we knew we wanted to stay there. It didn't disappoint mostly. The welcome, the staff, the food, the view right outside our door, the snorkeling, the peace and quiet for relaxing all 5 star. The food was fantastic, fresh and tasty. The only slight disappointment was the villas. Very dated, broken taps and door handles, bathroom old and needed updating and we felt the accommodation was way overpriced - but the position and to be able to walk out the back door into the lagoon to snorkel and see tropical fish made up for it. All in all the most memorable relaxing holiday. Highly recommend.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Five days at the Erakor Island Resort over Xmas was sublime...having visited Port Vila many times in recent years, I had not taken the time to visit this wonderful Island. Every aspect of this resort is faultless...and the amazingly kind and friendly staff were the icing on the Xmas cake.

We went to Erakor for our honeymoon, it was a great place to do absolutely nothing! Although there was a tour hut where they could organise any tour etc you wish along with free water sports activities on the main beach (paddle boards, view boards, kayaks etc).
We would love to go back in a few more years

We reserved (and was charged for) three rooms for three nights just after the cyclone that hit Vanuatu. We were going there to help with the recovery effort. Not only was the hotel in no condition to receive guests, it took six weeks to get my money refunded.

This is a lovely family friendly resort. The facilities requires upgrading - a pool and gym would have been nice - despite it is surrounded by clear waters - the weather conditions and shallow, close to coral waters do not make for ideal lap swimming. The evening meals at the Restaurant range from very good to excellent although menu choices are limited if staying for a full week or more. Breakfast is ok. Ditto lunch.
2.0
Erakor is a great hotel/resort and overall we were very happy with our stay. Very easy access but the only things that could be improved would be air conditioning, as the rooms, especially the 'garden' ones, were a bit hot and stuffy at night and the windows aren't big enough to let the breeze in and cool down.

It's a lovely island resort. Clear blue turquoise water around the island. Kayak, stand up paddle board are free for guest to use. We had a nice walk around the island, there's an old missionary house and chapel.
Food in Aqua restaurant is great. Room is generally clean, bathroom tiles could do with a good scrub and mould killer. Hot water flow come and go.
Staff are very nice and helpful.
We enjoyed the stay and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

My husband and I stayed there for our honeymoon. They gave me a room that was not what they promised (down graded) so it was a bad start. We got the villa at the end but overall experience was just so so. Breakfast is the same continental style everyday. Beach was full of leaves and not as beautiful as photos.
Only good thing is the location. Close to the city centre yet quiet on the little island.
