8/10 Very Good

Comfortable stay with marginal customer service
Experience was good, stayed two nights. Front staff not overly willing to help or make customer accommodations (late check out, calling to see if a restaurant was open as we are international travellers with no working phone). Rooms clean, pool nice. Would stay again but expect marginal customer service.

10/10 Exceptional

I had a bad start to my holiday with the airline, but as soon as I reached the smiling faces of the friendly staff at the hotel, it completely changed my mood. The room was dated, but the bed was comfortable, the air con was cold, and the shower was effective. I booked the hotel for use of the tennis courts, but found out when I arrived that they were not in use. The buffet breakfast had an array of fresh fruit, cereal and toast every morning, which saves a lot of money for other things. For the price I paid for my 2.5 week stay, I was incredibly happy with the hotel and the staff. If I return to Vanuatu, I would definitely stay at the Melanesia hotel again. The location is perfect.

4/10 Fair

Property has not been well maintained and has a number of issues. Staff and service were below average, beds and furniture uncomfortable, food and beverage options limited and poor quality. Even simple facilities such as in room shower and plumbing were not working properly. Quite disappointing and not somewhere I would rush to stay again in Vanuatu
