We had a two bedroom apartment. It was very clean but everything is getting old. The staff were amazing! We went to the restaurant once and the food was good but we were the only people in the restaurant so we decided to venture out every day to eat.

Apart from 1 staff member, the rest were really rude and dismissive. Shower was mouldy, breakfast was usually a little stale, sheets did not feel clean/my skin itched like crazy everytime I was in bed. Restaurant food tasted good but staff were inconsistent in providing table service. Wifi was absolutely shocking, I barely even had service in my room so I couldn't even use mobile data. I was advised the lagoon was contaminated when I arrived so no swimming or any water sports apart from kayaking. The resort itself is beautiful but overall was quite expensive for the poor experience.

Loved the bungalows on the beach and kitchen and spa. Wifi was a bit patchy but suffice. Easy walk to town. Sports bar next door was good to watch the football. Wish there was a bit more atmosphere say happy hour etc to meet other guests.

Loved staying at Poppy’s. The garden bungalows are perfect and have everything you need. All of the staff are welcoming and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. You can walk to town in about 15 minutes but be aware there’s a very long steep driveway to get to the road. We’d definitely stay there again.

Is a beautiful place to stay. Rained a lot during stay which played havoc with the pools. Staff are lovely. Rooms are spacious. The place as a whole is probably in need of some TLC and more information available on things to do would be handy. But I would return

Overall we had a very comfortable stay. The rooms have everything you need and are well equipped. There are two air conditions in the 2 bedroom apartments which helped to cool down the entire apartment. Rooms were cleaned everyday which was nice. Pillows and bedding were very comfortable. Some issues were the apartments did not have blockout blinds although we were told nobody could see in at night you could see through the window and also it was very bright. There was only one area to put your clothes in one of the rooms. Only two locks on two of the doors. The power cut out a few times when we would start appliances and one of the power points were burnt. But overall I would stay at Poppy’s again. My family really enjoyed their time.

Poppies accommodation
Poppies is a nice relaxing bush setting. The lagoon is not blue and clean. We were advised the lagoon is not safe to swim in, the water is murky light brown. The staff are friendly, like all people from Vanuatu we met. We had no shampoo/conditioner in our room until the 3rd day of our stay after asking for 3 days. The free continental breakfasts are generous and good variety of food delivered to your room with instant coffee.

Poppy's is paradise
Out of the 3 places we stayed we liked this place the best. We were in a studio apartment towards the top. The rooms are a bit old but clean and presentable. Beds and pillows are comfortable. Staff serviced our room daily. Nice bathroom products and amenities available. Air con worked great. Breakfast is decent; fruit, pastries and cereal available. We had dinner here twice. One was the traditional night with a feast which was fun, it included kava tasting, dinner and dessert, traditional band and dancing. The other night we ordered off the menu and our food was nice. Make sure you give some tidbits to the little cats that reside in the garden. The staff at Poppy's are very helpful and friendly. They helped us book tours and called buses for us etc. Someone even came to our room when it was raining to give us an umbrella! We made use of the kayaks and used the pool too; great to have these facilities. The location of Poppy's is good, there are quite a few places to see and eat at within walking distance. Spice restaurant is close by. It is quiet on the lagoon and has a lovely view. Catching buses from here is easy. If you are elderly or not able to walk a lot be warned the driveway in and out of the resort is very steep (as well as to some of the rooms), for those that are able though it is a great workout for the bum. No complaints really. Only annoying thing is wifi is only available at reception but it's not that big of a deal.

The staff were excellent, especially Betty, on reception, who was very helpful. Michel, the bus driver, was very good and easy to get on with. Breakfast was hit and miss and depending on what time you arrived, whether there was sufficient food or crockery! Rooms - we had a studio room upstairs. The shower leaked water and the seal on the fridge was broken. The bed was comfortable. Electricity was a problem and only one appliance could be used at a time. The kettle was useless as it only “boiled” water to lukewarm. Had to use the microwave to make a cuppa. Tv - once again this was also hit and miss as to whether you got any volume on the channels! The fox movies channel lost sound after a couple of days then froze completely. Wifi was available at reception and was slow.

Setting was beautiful and staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Getting to and from the center of Port Vila was cheap and easy, with local minibuses everywhere. Room was very good with magical views, but in the bathroom, there was some mould around the shower cabinet. Resort organised on-ground transfers to airport but charged several times more more than local taxi or bus services. Wifi was unreliable and most advertised TV channels did not work. Guests need to be aware also that there is 15% tax on room rates, making it more expensive than the advertised prices.
