“Romantic, peaceful, beautiful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

My partner and I stayed here for our first and last night in Vanuatu, and I think it was the best choice for it!

I arrived a few days early, so I went out looking for a place for us. I wanted a bungalow over the water, Air-conditioning and romantic. This was certainly the best value I found! The 4 post bed and furniture were beautiful solid hard wood and the balcony doors open all the way to give you an uninterrupted view of the peaceful lagoon. We had a lovely time sitting on the balcony drinking our duty free bubbly and watching the fish jump about as the sunset. No kids guarantees that your time will be very peaceful!

The accompanying restaurant served some of the best food we had in Vanuatu and the managers and staff were friendly and cheerful. The included breakfast were also excellent and hot!

Both times we stayed we had a bar fridge and the second time we stayed we got a simple kitchenette, which certainly comes in handy because you have to buy some fresh fruit from the market!

It's only a quick and cheep bus ride into town, so it's nice if you want to do tours.

I was advised against swimming in the lagoon, and there isn't a swimming beach in this resort. The pool was a bit murky when we saw it, so we opted out of using it during our short stay.

I would certainly recommend Sunset Bungalows for at least a romantic night!

The resort is not really walking distance from town but the taxi service is so cheap.. its a great place to sit and relax..

Room Tip: Get a Bungalow!! Walking out every day to watch the sunset and sun rise is amazing!

“Great spot for a total rest”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

Audrey and Greg and all the staff could not do enough for you to make your stay just perfect. The location of the resort is fantastic (not far from Port Villa) and the way each room opens up to the lagoon is fabulous. You think you are in heaven even if just sitting on your balcony watching the water or the sun set. The room was presented well every day and was more than adequately furnished to make one comfortable. Plenty of storage space in both the bathroom and the main room allowed you to unpackwhich made it feel like home for a week. There was a lovely pool as well as the lagoon to swim when ever you wanted. The staff were so helpful when giving information about tours and always booked them for you and would ring them if the pickup wasn't on time.

The dining room area created the ongoing feeling of relaxation and breakfast included each day gave a great start to the day.

Room Tip: We were lucky to have a first floor room which gave a higher view of the lagoon however all rooms wi...

“Serene place for breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

For a change we had breakfast at Sunset Bungalows and found the staff very friendly, the food very affordable and the omelets very light and fluffy. Great Breakfast fruit somoothies.
View over the lagoon made it all the more enjoyable.

“A beautiful relaxing place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

We couldn't have asked for more. We were looking for a relaxing place to stay and we certainly found it. The property looks over the lagoon, a beautiful setting even in the pouring rain. We stayed in a Bungalow which were great. We had air con, a kitchenette and a balcony where we got to enjoy watching the marine life, particularly after dark. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was pretty good. We ate here a lot and asked for a few variations to the menu. Nothing was problem for them. I hope we get to return.

Room Tip: The Bungalows are the way to go
