Valesdir Holidays from AU$1,103

Showing its age but is clean and reasonable price staff are all great and friendly. Can kayak on lagoon which is free, but snorkeling andswimming not advised apparently due to pollution in lagoon good pools for the kids.

Coco Beach is budget friendly and we definitely got value for money. The fares are basic but bright and airy. We had the huge pool to ourselves every time we used it. The snorkelling out the front of the resort was fantastic. While it was a little further out of Vila than we had stayed before, it meant it was very quiet. We had to walk a fair way to get a bus into town on one day but had a delightful trip home by boat from the jetty in Vila, something we had not done before. The food was good but we did have a day and night where the chef was not in so we went to the resort down the road, Paradise Cove, where the food was incredible and we were treated as if we were staying there. Special mention to Frank and Elton at Coco Beach who looked after us so well during our stay. I would recommend Coco Beach for the person looking to relax and snorkel/swim away for the hustle and bustle of a big resort.

What a fantastic place. My wife and I stayed 5 nights, we were so relaxed it felt like we were away for much longer. The food at the restaurant is very good with a good variety to choose from.

We had the deluded waterfront villa. It was really lovely, sitting in the deck overlooking water was just beautiful, we could see starfish and sea cucumbers in the crystal clear water of the lagoon. Only downside was no signal for TV, maintenance changed the TV as everything was in Chinese, but still no signal. Only a minor hiccup as we were on holiday, not there to watch TV. Fully self co tai ed with washing Mach and dryer, instructions again in Chinese but I worked it out. Air conditioner worked perfectly, and the spa batch was lovely and relaxing. Rosie on front desk was very helpful and friendly like all the staff in the restaurant etc. breakfast daily included was a bonus and looked forward to it each mornjng. Another bonus supermarket right next door selling everything including wine and beer. We loved staying there as on reading some of the reviews we were feeling a bit reluctant to stay there, but on our own experience we highly recommend staying here, and for the price we paid it was very reasonable.

The highlight is the fantastic reef snorkelling at a nearby beach - about a 30 minute walk from the resort. The staff and local community were very welcoming and happy to have a chat and show you around. However probably don’t go if you are bothered by getting too close to nature - i.e rats in your room - as the resort is in the bush and rooms are ‘rustic village’ style and reasonably open to the elements. I liked it but didn’t sleep much!
