Moorings Hotel

My wife and I just spent 10 days here and can highly recommend it for a convenient spot to stay (only a 10’ish minute walk to the shops & markets…) …very friendly people and staff and a nice pool to relax in at the end of a long day touring….

Great central location, lovely welcoming staff, clean and well maintained, excellent value for money.

Lovely lovely helpful staff from bar, reception and generally
Location 5 min walk into town
Airport 15 mins
Great pool
Rooms are v clean on the smaller side
Wouldn’t eat there tho there are plenty of eateries in walking distance in both directions

I love the food and drinks I totally recomend it is also kid friendly so kids can have birthday party's and play and the adults can enjoy the view and drink, eat, talk its awesome and the new chef is incredible makes the food 10 times better.
Rooms are nice god for kids and adults witch I find very useful it is also close to a lot of shops and activities so it is not easy to get bored so if you have very impatient kids I totally recomend Moorings hotel.
The staff are very friendly so your kids can play with them great place.

Good budget style accommodation in Port Villa. Rooms are small but comfortable, added bonus that breakfast is included. The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating. Would go back!

Great experience for our short stay (family, 2 kids). Staff are lovely and friendly. Pool was clean (we swam there every day). Food off the menu was actually really tasty (sometimes you don't expect much at hotels, but Moorings was actually great). Location is great also - you can easily walk along the sea edge via the ocean path (it's beautiful), or within 5 minutes walk also enter into the town center. Airport is 10 minutes drive away. Top restaurants like Stonegrills also 5 minutes walk away. Room had air-con and ceiling fan (you need it), although was a little old (but was perfectly fine for our family). Great value. Would 100% return again for a longer stay next time.

My family stayed here one night in transit. It was very much a welcome stop. The staff are wonderful, very accommodating.

Rooms: clean and tidy. The beer was cold and the food excellent. We were very happy with our night here.

We went here for the coconut crab, which cost 5600 vu. The crab was sweet and a large meal, but as it was cooked in cocnut milk, any crab would taste like coconut if it was cooked in coconut milk.

Great pool, solid breakfast, truly excellent staff! Awesome views! Thanks for a wonderful stay

The room booked on our online tickets was not what we walked into. There is minimal space, limited storage and no seating or bench space for suit cases. Being a former expat, the staff seem to be very unhappy as a group, but on a one to one are the normal happy. The buffet breakfast was very poor. The lighting and ground was uneven and very poorly lit. I had a fall on wet steps and the first thing spoken by a staff member was that I was 'drunk tumas'. I would not recommend this accomodation to anyone!
It was a very dissapointing part of our return after 20 years.

We booked the Ocean view room and I'm very glad we did. The room itself was small/old but the balcony and view compensated well. Overall a nice stay as it is reasonably priced.
Only negative: at check-in the reception told us we have to pay the second night even tho we paid all the nights via Agoda. Fortunately the receptionist quickly realized her mistake after we showed proof of pay.
PS: my advise is to always double check what hotels/restaurants ask you to pay in Port Vila as there were mistakes on a daily basis.

What a lovely place to stay if you are not looking for a beach holiday. I had 5 nights here from 5/9/22 to 10/9/22. Access to the sea for swimming and also a lovely pool. The staff were so friendly. Inclusive breakfast was adequate but generally their food is good. The bar next door can be noisy some nights - pack your earplugs. Not all Island adventures are operational just yet.
Shame I caught Covid whilst there.

It’s a very lovely place to stay. Although it’s a 3-star but much better (cleaner and newer) than the 4 stars we stayed previously. The staffs are more friendly and helpful. Location is great!

Bed was super comfortable and the service from all the staff was amazing. Very friendly people who want to help and make your holiday great. The pool was nice and the food for breakfast was alright. Good location, overall great.

Amazing hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and were very helpful in organising tours and taxi's when needed. The food was good along with the rooms and scenery. Very clean and comfortable. Can be a little noisy at times but generally calms down by about 10pm. Will definitely come back and with my children next time.

Excellent hotel with a nice location. The island is small so you can't go terribly wrong.it was a short walk to what i consider the city center.beautiful water and other establishments along the waterfront all in walking distance.they also have kayaks for rent and the pool was clean.

Convenient to town, best and clean, right on the bay and not too expensive. Ticks all the boxes but not luxury if that's what you are looking for. We stayed one night between arriving in Port vila and flying to Santo the next morning.

A no frills water front motel. Room was adequate. Basic but comfortable. Shower was great and hot. Television in room was 7 channels and not great. Tea and coffee/ milk supply was poor, despite requesting many times!
On site pool was clean and good size. Sitting by water front watching the Vanuatu sunset was perfect. Reasonably easy walk into town and duty free shopping/ groceries etc. The restaurant/ bar next door was very noisy with music over the weekend. Bar and restaurant on site was good. Food delicious! Staff were courteous, although not overly friendly
Ovwrall a good stay on a budget.

We stayed here for a bit over a week, originally we were in he cheaper room (406) but due to the noise next door, we upgraded to one of the rooms with the Seaview (101). Rooms are nice albeit a bit small and lacked any table or chairs. Aircon worked great and beds are very comfy. The views of the ocean, super friendly staff make this place, as does the amazing hotel restaurant.

All in all, we enjoyed our stay! It offers great value for money. Thanks!

Edit: forgot to mention the 5% surcharge on credit card seems to be higher than normal for most places in Port Vila

Very friendly and helpful staff, rooms clean and generous breakfast. Dining with great views. Standard room is a tad on the small size, with some noises from communal areas. Overall a great location where I have stayed before and will stay again.
