A little out of town, which makes it quiet. Very clean, comfy beds, AC worked well, helpful staff. Restaurant was excellent, although a bit pricey. Well-stocked kitchen in room.

Rather basic cabins (on a par with and perhaps slightly better than anything else available in Luganville), but the view is very nice and the restaurant was a very pleasant surprise -- the menu offered many choices for lunch and dinner and was supplemented by daily special appetisers, main course selections and desserts. Every meal we had there throughout our stay was excellent.

The resort consists of chalets ("bures" in local parlance) scattered amongst well-maintained gardens and three swimming pools atop a hill overlooking the lagoon in the east of Port Vila, Vanuatu's capital and largest town. The chalets vary greatly in terms of exposure to breezes, and possibility of a view of the lagoon. Number 7 is rather enclosed, and only by standing on one's toes in the bathroom can one glimpse the water. When the weather is in the high 30s Celsius (90s Fahrenheit) guests...

I had an amazing stay at the Lagoon Gardens. The owner and workers were very friendly and helpful and the grounds were beautiful. I was able to go kayaking on the lagoon and the location was perfect to walk to the market and into town.

Room was clean and well equipped. Staff are wonderful. I was worried that the in town location meant noise but this was not a problem. The town settles down early, by 830 so it is quiet.

While this is an excellent resort it is very good for a couple or family to chill and relax if you are planning to do activities outside the resort like diving or going to champagne beach be prepared to pay daily transfer roughly 50 USD as it is 30 min drive from anything.
