ハイドアウェイ アイランド リゾート

ドミトリーに宿泊。ローカルのスタッフがスーパーフレンドリー。オーナーも毎日声をかけてくれ、色々観光のおすすめを教えてくれました。レストランとバーがあるので、飲食にも困りません。朝食は無料のコンティネンタルがあるが、アラカルトは別料金で可能です。オーストラリアやバヌアツの物価で考えれば、ここのレストランもそんなに高くはないといえるでしょう。ハッピーアワーはリーズナブルです。対岸のメレビーチとはボートが常に行き来しているので、移動は本当に心配ないです。メレビーチにはたいていミニバスが止まっているので、そこから、ポートビラやメレカスケード等に行けます。ちなみに対岸のメレビーチにあるビーチバーで毎週金曜夜にあるファイヤーショーには必見です。空港からの送迎は事前に申し込めば、片道１７豪ドルで可能です。送迎費も含め、料金は全てルームチャージにできます。水中郵便局が有名で、デイビジターもよく来ていまして、さんご礁はありますが、ベストなスポットではないです。エファテの離島の方がはるかにきれいです。私はレセプションでレレパ島ツアーを申し込み、参加しましたが、最高でした。ちなみに泳ぐときサンスクリーンを使用する場合は、ここのリゾートが宿泊者にお願いしているように、さんご礁に有害でない酸化亜鉛などのミネラルベースのサンスクリーンを使用するべきでしょう！最後に、ハイダウェイ島にも蚊がいました。マラリア等のリスクはゼロでないと思います。対策は万全にしてください。私は薬を飲まず、高ディート配合のレペラントを振りかけていましたが、効果はありました。レペラントを使う場合は、特に、夕方やシャワー時、就寝時、朝の起床後等を重点的に常に使用し続けた方がいいでしょう。チェックインした後、部屋の網戸に破れがあれば、レセプションに言って何とかしてもらった方がいいでしょう。

安宿しか泊まっていない私にとってはかなり奮発した宿でしたが、入島料料の1000バツも含まれ、シュノーケルセットも無料で借りられるということで、ここに泊まりました。 島にはビーチしかないので、ひたすらシュノーケルしていました。水中ポストもあり、魚も沢山いて全然飽きなかったです。 ドミトリールームを選びましたが、人は全然いなくて貸し切りでした。Wi-Fiはレセプション付近でしか使えなかったですが、問題なく使えました。ウェルカムドリンクがあり、嬉しかったです。 夜はビーチがシアターのようになり、映画を上映していたので、夜風をあび、星を見ながら映画も楽しみました！

トイレ・バス共用のダブルベットルームに宿泊しました。部屋が狭く、隣の部屋へ音が筒抜けだったのが残念でした。でも、コスパを考えると納得だし、スノーケル、カヤック、ビーチでまったり等々、存分にリゾートライフを満喫できたので良かったです。

今回は海に近くて安い宿を探していたら、このホテルを見つけました。 海に近いというか、小さな島がホテルになっていて、部屋から１分もかからずに海に入れます。 市内に行くのはちょっと面倒ですが、バスなどあるので行けないことはありません。 このホテルを予約する際にはhotelclubというウェブサイトの方が安いです。

The whole property is in desperate need of a major renovation, starting with the kitchen & food menu which is not up to standard. The staff were very friendly & helpful.

Apartment has ants everywhere including on ans inside the kettle, bath/ shower and next door were so loud and their cigarette smoke was coming onto the room making it extremely uncomfortable to sleep in. Message properly but they said I should’ve called the night emergency number which was continently placed in reception but I had no WiFi or phone service on the island

Beautiful location and staff. Resort a little run down but they make the most of what they have. Have to remember you are on island time. Cat lovers will enjoy the small group of cats

We were originally in the pool vila which was terrible. Floorboards broken and unsafe. Shower terrible, steep stairs to bedroom and toilet had a sewage smell. Lights in bedroom didn’t work or either did outside lights. We asked to be moved to a bungalow which was great and would recommend. Staff are amazing and can not do enough to help after we asked to be moved rooms. Limited options for food allergies available even after asking prior to booking holiday. Chef/cook did not seem interested to assist with this. Island resort is for sale and hopefully new owners put some money into fixing it up as it badly needs it. Would still recommend a visit as very relaxing and great snorkeling

Great location for snorkeling and diving! There are very nice diving site only accessible from the hideaway island. However, it doesn’t have much service. No breakfast provided. Lunch and dinner menu is very basic and room and facilities are a bit old. Not a fancy resort to stay but if worth to visit for a diving trip.

Last stay was nice breakfast provided now you pay for that. It was nice to have freash fruit etc

It saddens me to have to say the "resort" is so run down and neglected its a shame. We stayed in 4 different units during our stay (we had a large group) The units varied from broken toilets and showers, termites and ant infestations, super thin mattresses with springs in your back etc. The reef is trashed and destroyed. It will be completely dead with in the year since absolutely no care is taken to preserve anything. People stand directly on the reef to take pictures, huge chunks can be seen broken off everywhere and most of it is brown. The restaurant serves 10-12 options most of which they were out of the our entire 6 night stay. No eggs, chicken, salads, fruit, potatoes etc. The staff were all very nice and trying to make the best out of a situation where the owners are not present and very obviously only trying to squeeze what money they can out of this place. Its very sad as it could be so beautiful and exclusive. We visited Island Magic down the road and it was what this place could be if they cared. Good food, well taken care of and a reef that is thriving. I suggest you try there if you are looking for comfort.

Very easy to water taxi back and forth to the main land (which might even be walkable at low tide). Room was clean and staff were all very hospitable.

Wunderschöner Ort. Klasse Strand. Super zum Schnorcheln

The location is great and the snorkelling is excellent. The staff are fantastic. The resort needs some tender loving care. The gardens are well tendered, but the rest of the infrastructure needs work. Food is a bit hit and miss but there is a Beach Bar nearby thank goodness.

Property is quite run down. Had a beachfront bungalow but the stairs leading down to the beach were so overgrown with weeds they couldn't be used. It would have taken an hour to give it a tidy up and make it usable, but they just hadn't done it. The decking of the cabin was rotten and dangerous. I stepped through the decking a couple of times and left (more) holes in it. The water coming out of the cold tap was black and there was no hot water on the first 2 nights. Hot water was adequate on 3rd night and cold water was clear on 3rd night. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Food from the restaurant was good.

The location is superb, the staff are very friendly and helpful and everything needed is provided. My only minor criticism is that bunk beds are not suitable twin share for seniors.

N/A

The storms and cyclones have taken a toll on the property and it is slowly returning to normal in Vanuatu time

The staff at Hideaway are just lovely- so friendly and helpful and so tolerant . We stayed in the spacious family bungalows. The glass bottom boat and snorkel tour are great for familiarising your family with life on the reef and then you can explore on your own later. Only suggestion to make would be to give all visitors including day visitors even a 5 minute talk about the Marine Sanctuary and how fragile life is on the reef. Watching unmanaged kids as well as adults crush and kill coral was a bit up setting who didn’t understand the damage the were causing. Maybe mark off an area for beginners so they don’t cause further harm following cyclone with poor finning techniques on the coral. We hope to return one day- this place and beautiful staff were perfect for us and our budget

The snorkelling is great and staying at the property allows you to have the reef to yourself for a couple of hours in the morning. The beach bungalow we stayed in has a great view and balcony but is old, no tv, internet available at the office but not the room and they give the first couple of days free then charge after that to use internet. One restaurant on the island, food can take a while so get orders in early and brekky costs a bit so recommend bringing some wheet bix and milk (adds up with the kids), but liked the place and the local people are lovely. There's a little shop off the island near the village which has waters, soft drink biscuits etc for better prices.
