Poppy's on the Lagoon

Poppys was fabulous. Would recommend for a family holiday. The grounds and gardens are beautiful. It is a 20 min walk into town but this gives you an opportunity to see Port Vila. Our villa was down near the family pool and was well appointed, clean and very comfortable. The only down side is that they do not explain that the lagoon is not swimmable (it is contaminated so not Poppys fault) you can kayak but no snorkeling or swimming. The staff are amazing, so helpful, friendly and truly wonderful. We actually left all my husbands cards he took out of his wallet (for safety) and the staff found them in the cupboard when we left, they kindly posted them to us in Brisbane for which we were very grateful.

Poppys is in a quiet part of town on the Lagoon. Well appointed rooms, nice gardens and view across the lagoon. Staff are friendly and helpful. A very relaxing stay.

This is the 3rd visit to Poppys for me and first for my mates. We had 3 room villa which suited us just perfectly. The staff were super friendly as they have been every visit and the location is perfect to access everything. The only down 2 downsides are 1 (and this is outside the resorts control) is the dogs and roosters on the neighbouring property that woke us without fail everyday between 3 and 4 am. and (2) the food is average compared to a lot of other places so we chose to eat out most nights. The breakfast trays delivered to room each morning were great however missed the previous visits were it used to all be down in eating area and you got to mix with other guests.

Loved the bungalows on the beach and kitchen and spa. Wifi was a bit patchy but suffice. Easy walk to town. Sports bar next door was good to watch the football. Wish there was a bit more atmosphere say happy hour etc to meet other guests.

Loved staying at Poppy’s. The garden bungalows are perfect and have everything you need. All of the staff are welcoming and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. You can walk to town in about 15 minutes but be aware there’s a very long steep driveway to get to the road. We’d definitely stay there again.

Poppy’s is a perfect resort for a visit to Vanuatu. The staff couldn’t be more welcoming and helpful. The garden bungalows are great and have everything you need. It’s around a 15 minute walk to town but be aware of the very steep long driveway to walk up to reach the road. Kayaks are readily available to paddle on the lagoon. It’s a beautiful location.

Would not stay again. Stayed at many places in Port Vila, all have pro's & cons. We booked with breakfast included, the restaurant was closed & we were given bread, butter, cereal, jam at our door. Would have been nice just to tell the truth on the site that there was no sit down breakfast. The cold 'breakfast' that was given was terrible.The road out of the resort is just impossible, very very long & extremely steep so outside of young people you can forget walking to get food (which you will have to do) Place was very run down.

Lovely rooms. Clean and functional despite the need for a little maintenance around the place. Beautiful surroundings. Helpful staff and delicious cocktails. Very relaxing.

Would recommend. The rooms, although a bit dated were clean and tidy, the staff very helpful and kind, nothing was a problem for them. The pool was lovely on a hot day. The restaurant area was cool in the evenings, we enjoyed a meal and beers on several nights, although be aware it closes at 7pm. The gardens were lovely and well kept, giving a private feel to each apartment.
