"The hotel staff are really the highlight of this property; everyone was very kind and helpful to us. The service was above and beyond. Special shout out to the Concierge team, including Miky, who made sure we had fun plans when ours fell through, and Bob and Frank at the pool.
The restaurant at the hotel has good food for when you don't want to go outside, or just wanted to relax after a day of adventure.
There are free kayak for guests to use, the pool is nice. We'll be happily return to...

"An incredible place for a relaxing vacation with top-notch service. With excellent snorkeling directly in front of the resort, as well as kayaks and a SUP for guests to use, there are many things to do. We loved the attentiveness of the staff and the excellent meals. The 4-course dinner every evening was so delicious and such a treat! We felt very well taken care of and would love to stay here again."

"Absolutely stunning jungle/ river property, lush and green. The large house is very spacious. It was comfortable in the July weather. Plenty of room and beds for our family of 6. Property is off grid so some issues with hot water that were rectified. We’re told we would have daily house keeping, which didn’t happen once, but we were ok with the washing machine. If we had asked, I’m sure it would have been provided. Accessing the tours and using the river was a highlight for our family.
- no fly...

"It was excellent. Had a layover in Vanuatu and would definitely return for a longer holiday in the future. The staff were amazing and very helpful with local information and what to do in my limited time in country. The pool and restaurant were great. Would recommend. "

"Great location and friendly staff, rooms were clean and had all the amenities we needed. Breakfast was somewhat limited. A shuttle service to the airport or into the city would be helpful"

"The resort is absolutely beautiful with stunning water views on the bay, beautifully maintained tropical gardens, and cute tropical "fare" bungalows. You have the choice of swimming in the pristine sea or in the lovely swimming pool.
The staff is so dedicated to helping you have the best stay and the manager is very helpful.
We'll come back. "

"Great location right on the lagoon. Can walk through edge of lagoon to the jetty for Erakor island ferry. Also walk through lagoon to the Warwick resort for restaurants. Buses into town regularly at end of driveway. Manager of property was very helpful. Only thing we didn’t like was air conditioning was only in main bedroom and my kids couldn’t sleep as the ceiling fan in their room was too weak to circulate air."

"My husband and I recently stayed at Iririki for a week and were really impressed with all aspects of the resort. We stayed in an Island Fare and it was gorgeous - the views over the harbour from the verandah room were especially lovely. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming to everyone and it was so nice to see them interacting with all the children. The food was a-maze-ing - really tasty and plentiful (I don't think we had an individual lunch all week). The amenities were great on the island and having the option of the boat transfer every few minutes gave you plenty of other options to go and do something else. Loved it all.
My only niggle (and I really am splitting hairs) was that I didn't think they needed to clean the rooms every day - some days our room wasn't cleaned until 4pm which made it a little bit awkward."
"I enjoyed staying at Retreat Resort - it was quiet, walking distance to a local fruit stalls, supermarket, and some of the tourist attractions.
The staff were helpful as well as the owner who was available if needed. The facility had a bar with meals and that was a benefit too."
"The location of our beachfront villa was amazing. Staff were super helpful & polite at all times. Accommodation is little dated but had everything we needed, spacious & clean. Grounds are stunning & well maintained, as were common areas. "
