Tropicana Lagoon Apartments

5 min walk to a grocery

Tired and in need of refurb and a lick of paint (which apparently is happening soon under new management)...Old school, fan and airconed high-ceilinged rooms with kitchenette, wooden floors and balconies overlooking the polluted (not (exclusively) this hotel's fault) lagoon (unswimmable-in)...WiFi and hot water issues, average pool, understocked bar and a competent chef who's doing his best with limited resources. That said, it's quiet and rustic and good vfm. I wouldn't NOT go back...if that makes sense 😏 However don't go if you're very picky...

My friend and I recently stayed at Tropicana Resort and we had an absolutely wonderful experience. The lady at front desk and the chef were the most amazing, friendly and helpful people. The chef’s cooking was superb and by the second meal, he used to suggest dishes for us for dinner and they were all great.

I loved my time staying at the Tropicana ,the staff were super friendly and very accommodating to our needs, food was fantastic and so peaceful, spent my days by the pool and relaxing in the tranquil garden, will differently return next year, looking forward to seeing the staff that I become so fond of❤️

Get away from stress and town this is a beautiful place, Ideal surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers breakfast, lunch and dinner served on deck near waterfront such a beautiful scenery across lagoon and sunset I loved the place and will come back again. Thank you Tina for your hospitality and your staff willing to help at odd times with a smile

I am not one to complain or make negative comments about our stays however I feel I need to mention a few items. From the moment we arrived we felt very awkward, like we had interrupted a family gathering. There were more workers than guests. The Resort was neat, tidy and crisply painted white-looked appealing. Colonial style rooms wooden floorboards high ceiling with fan and nice balcony overlooking the river from the lagoon-wouldn’t recommend swimming in there. No hot water and only one towel between us, despite asking management twice to review, never got fixed. Beers were warm and not well stocked- we went and bought cold beers from the supermarket. The vibe of the place was totally off-despite us both trying to convince each other it would be relaxing we couldn’t quite shake off the feeling. The chef cooked an amazing dinner one of the best meals we had in Vanuatu-what an asset to the Resort. We had booked 4 nights and only stayed one. The Manager had no insight when we checked out even when we mentioned having no hot water was an issue. He asked us where we were going to stay which we replied back in town. He just shrugged his shoulders like it wasn’t the first time he had had this conversation or interaction with guests. We did not ask for our money back just clocked it up to an experience!! Would I recommend people to stay…no however if you are just wanting a home base and you venture out all day and come back for dinner I would recommend, hopefully you get to have a hot shower.
