We went last night and had the seafood platter for 2 it was amazing. Never before been asked how we would like our seafood cooked eg battered crumbed in sauce etc. The staff were so helpful and obliging. The setting was perfect overlooking the lagoon. The ambience was exceptional. For a 15 out of 10 these guys do it. We... More

We did not stay at Starfish cove but had breakfast there a number of times on our recent trip. Staff were professional and the menu especially pancakes and milkshakes were terrific. I would recommend them to any one.

We stayed here for 7 nights, before and after visiting Tanna Island. Situated on the beautiful second lagoon, the Starfish Cove is about 5-10 minutes bus ride out of town ($3-4 for both of us). We were looking for a base to come back to after days out exploring the island, and this accommodation was great. It has a modern... More

We booked Starfish Cove because it was one of the few self catering apartments that offered airconditioning at no extra charge. My husband and I were seeking a stress break and we had the most relaxing time at Starfish cove. The restaurant was incredible and we had the best coconut crab in Port Vila there on more than occasion, they... More

This isn't a scenic, activity-filled resort... Don't expect too much beachy charm! That said, the value was good and we would be happy to return. Basically, the accomodation is very modern self-catering units. The style wouldn't be out of place in a serviced appartment in Sydney CBD, except that it is right on the lagoon with lovely views from the... More

I have recently returned home from my 5 night stay at Starfish Cove which I chose due to the great living social voucher and reviews on Tripadvisor. Whilst there was nothing wrong with the hotel itself it was not really for us. There was virtually nothing to do at the resort bar a small pool, bar and some kayaks, which... More

Although out of town this is an exceptional venue. It is quite new and has many added features such as free WiFi , washer/dryer, well equipped self contained kitchen diner etc. The bed is comfortable and the unit well designed. If we return to Port Vila we will stay at Starfish.
