The location is ideal, a 2-minute ferry ride to downtown Port Vila. The staff are warm, friendly and helpful. Our bungalow was perfectly positioned #53. We had a view of the mainland and could see part of the pool area and the restaurant, but far enough away that the noise didn't bother us. I love people watching, so the constant flow kept me amused. The buffet breakfast had something for everyone. The restaurant meals were pretty good but the prices have certainly skyrocketed since we were there last. Especially the wine. Tip for anyone staying there. Turn right when you get off the ferry and there is a large supermarket at the top of the hill (15-20 minute walk) that sells wine, beer and everything imaginable for much more reasonable prices. The best coffee place in town is called Coco on Co only 5 minutes walk in the same direction. Staff and their Poke bowls were amazing. We went there every day! Best burgers in town at at the opposite end of town, a good 20 minute walk to a place called Burgers at Vanuatu - it's located in a shipping container. THE best burgers we have come across and not expensive. Probably the only fault after 8 days was that I accidently cut my foot and needed a band aid. I asked at the restaurant and they didn't have a first aid kit. That's something that should be rectified I would go back there in a heart beat - just don't go on "Independence Day" the celebrations were loud and kept us awake until 4am. No fault of the hotel.

Clean rooms. Staff were excellent and location was great. Food was great too. Definitely will be going back.

It was a fun place to stay. We wouldn’t recommend eating or drinking at Iririki (besides included breakfast) as the value and quality just isn’t there. Catch the boat across (2 mins) and eat at the plethora of fantastic and much cheaper venues in town. So many fun ones to pick! The mark up at Iririki was insane and the food not even close to the great stuff across the water. Housekeeping was great. We loved pickle ball. Snorklers cove was good. You can kayak around the island. The bar staff only came to take our order while sitting around the pool 1 time in our whole trip! Don’t wait for them… it was fun and we wouldn’t recommend eating recommend - just don’t eat or drink there.

Love going to Iririki resort always good ,staff are wonderful . Great place to relax and do nothing or do all the activities the island has to offer. Short boat ride to the main land.

My review is for the ocean view apartment. The biggest compliment for a business is repeat business and now my fourth stay at Iririki. So pleasant out on the balcony taking in sunset or ships moving in the harbour. Staff are always pleasant and friendly. A quick walk around the island before breakfast is great.

Property had some great facilities, beach, gym and water sports all positives. Rooms a little tired, food very mixed bag and staff genuine and super nice people, but a little ineffective at the same time. A basic example was no water on the room on arrival, checked with reception who said it’s housekeepings fault, ask them the following day, they said it’s not them it’s reception and we never received any water. I think it’s too strong to say we regret staying here but I wouldn’t stay again. We had another four days in Vanuatu and moved rather than sought to extend.

Everything is great but just no wifi in the room.

Staff were lovely and helpful. Food was great but a little pricey. If you are elderly or have health issues make sure your accommodation is on the lower areas of the property as a lot of the rooms are high on the hill with steep access paths in areas.

We booked a “PREMIUM” over water bungalow. We had numerous problems unfortunately. - No bottled water provided upon arrival and expensive to purchase at the restaurant. - No laundry service - Multiple power outages with no hot water, no air con, no phone - Problems with wifi and no tv sometimes - Basin water blocked - Room service forgetting to replace coffee and glasses - Expensive food and drinks with complimentary breakfast sometimes running out of some food options - Snorkelers cove gave no advice on where to snorkle, and we both almost got run over by boats. Just a simple instruction to guests where to snorkle would be safer.

We were a family of 4 and stayed in a Penthouse suite overlooking the water. The view is absolutely amazing. Sunrise and Sunset are divine. The Snorkeling deck is a few mins walk close to the rooms. Basketball, Tennis, Pickle Ball , Pool, Table Tennis were all good. There are 2 large pools - Infinity and Sunset pool. Sunset pool is family friendly. The food is decent (not exceptional) and costs $60 per adult and $30 per child for dinner. Dinner is either a buffet or A La Carte depending on the night. Lunch is A La Carte. Breakfast typically included in the package. Ferry runs all the time, no wait during the day. The Thai Massage/ Restaurant on the mainland is the best food along with Waterfront Restaurant which has music in the evenings.

This review is about lack of communication, poor management - poor customer service. This is in no way a reflection on the beautiful Vanuatu staff at all. We unfortunately were on the island during the fire event which was an emergency event and we were moved to another hotel for 2 nights and then back to Iririki. The issue was there was no communication that a fire had occurred. No communication about what was happening - we were told to stand in a line and wait to find out where we going. We still hadn’t been told there was a fire or we were being evacuated. We were then made to pay our room tab prior to being booked into emergency accommodation. Only once our account was settled was a hotel organised. Most phone calls/emails/whatsapp messages went unanswered. No info given about returning. On return power went out again. On and off over next couple of days. Compensation was essentially refused in terms of refund of price difference from room type booked v room supplied - time wasted - cancelled arrangements/plans -lied to face to face by management. We did get offered dinner and a massage as comp but on check out this was on bill. then had to wait to speak to the manager who was on a day off to get approved again. So out of 6 days- 2 days wasted - 1.5 days of a 3 day car hire wasted - hours spent arguing with managers. Spent the best part of 4 days in tears. Great way to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday and retirement celebration.

Our spa room was a little tired however it was immaculately cleaned daily and all the staff were super friendly and helpful. Could not fault the wait staff at the bar and restaurant. Nothing was a problem.

A solid 3 star resort. Below par in a lot of things to include having mould in the rooms and poor bedding. Some of the fixtures in the bathroom were broken. We asked for a room change and still found the same issue such as broken fixture, mould and the bedding had an odour and lets not talk about the wifi. The island is beautiful thought with great staff and the food was good.

Had a wonderful stay at Iririki, the resort is beautiful and the view from our Deluxe Spa room was epic. Loved watching the sunsets from our balcony every day. The staff are so warm and friendly, food was great and so many activities included to fill the day. Loved the enormous Sunset pool and bar. Easy ferry ride across to the main island. We were sad to leave!

Clean room, nice view. Pools are clean

Aggressively average. Things here are similar prices to Australia. The bathroom smelled bad, kind of like old pee or terrible cleaning supplies. Also we ordered lunch at the pool on our last day and because they were so slow making our food (50min a burger and a wrap), we asked where it was and they hadn’t even started making it!!! We were late to our airport transfer, took another 20min to get a refund. So after all that we didn’t even get lunch! On top of that, none of the staff had any sense of urgency to help us. Shame because there’s so much potential.

All of the staff were fantastic and friendly and polite. Would definitely come back again

Not a 5 star resort. No buggies to rooms, very average breakfast lacking fruit and baked goods. Property is dated. Construction right in front of our room for the entire stay

Great resort, it's being slowly upgraded/improved and things do happen slow in this country. Overall it's a great place and so naturally beautiful.

Ocean View, friendly staff
