A nice comfortable place to stay. Big rooms, good beds, quality breakfast and great pool.
Just a short stroll down the hill to the centre of town, with excellent cafes on the way, but still quiet. And a two minute walk to supermarkets.
I stay there every time in in Port Vila.

The Melanesian is a long-standing feature of the Port Vila accommodation scene and it's very well-priced. The Orchid Rooms are very pleasant but they all face onto the pool area. So you will want to have the windows shut if the music played at the bar and people's conversations bother you. The AC unit in my room did an OK job with keeping the room comfortable even with windows shut. The rooms have a good desk and small table for people needing to do work while there. The included breakfast covers all the expected bases – a small range of fresh fruit, toast, fresh breads, cereals and cooked breakfast options for extra charge.

We were only here for a night, so probably can’t give the most well-rounded review. In summary, it was fine. The staff were really friendly and super helpful. The room and general building was fine, clean, but generally looking a bit tired. This could be partly due to nearby construction and a significant earthquake last year. The AC worked really well, however the water supply cut out for a period early in the morning.

Pool, fair size but no sun loungers as in picture, only tables/chairs from Oasis Restaurant!
Wifi included but you had to collect a new log in code EVERY morning from reception!
Check out time was 10.00am, the exact time that breakfast service ends.

Environmentally conscious so beddings and towels are only changed on request. Room cleaning not done daily means used cups and teaspoons must be washed by the guest before re-use, but dishing washing liquid and a sponge are not provided. When washing hands, water splashes out of the basin and onto the bench which is quite irritating.

Stains

Very disappointed with this hotel.
I was put in a room furthest from the entrance property that backed onto a busy street. To get to my room I had to walk through and past lines of the hotel washing, as well as a huge pile of discarded mattresses and pillows and other debris.
In the room the couch was broken in parts and covered in stains. The towels were thread bare. The worst part, when I went to go to bed and pulled back the top sheet, there was a huge stain on the bottom sheet - I had to pull off the top sheet and wrap myself in it to lay on the bed with some protection.

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.

Absolutely no pool chairs to lay out by pool or towels offered as listed on the site. The bathroom towels were almost shredded though the room was clean enough, & beds pretty firm. The big upside if you don't plan on spending much time in the room anyways, like us, it is affordable and within walking distance to the market/ shops and to find another hotel/pool to lay out by.

We were greeted with a welcome drink upon arrival and found the staff friendly and helpful. Initially we were placed in the wrong room but they rectified that and put us in the room we booked.
We liked the fact that the Melanesian was close to town and had great cultural performances on some nights. We liked the fact that their breakfast had a wide variety of food including the fish shaped pancakes, crussoints, cereals, fruits and yogurts which catered to all breakfast preferences.
Our concerns when staying there with a toddler was that the pool is not fenced and on the 3rd floor on the railings on the balcony outside the enterance to the rooms too wide. They are wide enough to fit a small child through. We had to be extra vigilant in keeping our child away from the railings. It would make it safer for small children if either chicken wire is placed as an extra barrier or the railings be moved closer together.
