We stayed at the kaiviti Motel in March. We had one the the executive rooms. The rooms are very clean and have nice bathrooms and cooking facilities. The pool is excellent, as is the bar that provides great snacks.. All the staff are very pleasant. We thought the motel was in a good location close to the supermarket and a...

Dis-regard old reviews. I was booked into this motel as part of package and was VERY concerned by the negative reviews. The motel has recently upgraded the pool and other public areas and now the work is done they look great. The location is also a bonus, It is not too far to walk to the centre of town (unless...

Dear south-aussie, Thank you for taking the time to review the property and your feedback. Yes the rooms are old, but most have new furniture and are clean and spacious. The bathrooms and kitchens are on the hit list over the coming years and the price reflects this. We have fully refurbished 5 executive rooms which are very popular with...

I stayed at the Kaiviti Hotel for 12 nights during a diving holiday with friends.
My friends and I stayed in the budget air conditioned rooms. The furnishing in the rooms was basic - but provided everything needed and was excellent value for the price.
My 3 basic requirements were exceeded: working air conditioning, plenty of hot water & good...

Be prepared to be kept awake by drunks screaming as they depart the Casino next door in the early hours of the morning. A long walk to most places to dine. TVs are an extra in rooms. Basically over priced, under resourced.

Dear Brian, Thank you for taking the time to give us some feedback. We are sorry your stay was not an enjoyable one. The noise issue is only a couple of nights a month around pay days and the Christmas period of cheers and beers may have exaggerated this.
We had numerous discussions with the owners of the Casino next...

I stayed in an upstairs studio with a beautiful view of Port Vila Harbour. I watched a cruise ship arrive and depart. Located in the main street I was able to walk every where and didn't need to hire a car.

Dear Bradley
Thank you for taking the time to review our motel.
The upstairs rooms do provide great views and excellent value for money as they have not yet been refurbished. However they are clean, fully self contained and the refurbishment of these rooms is planned soon. We have just added air conditioning to two rooms upstairs so we can...

I stayed in one of the new Executive rooms for three weeks in my role as an advisor to the Vanuatu Government. The room had a queen size bed with large screen satelite TV, lounge, kitchen table and desk for work on my laptop. The luxury fully contained kitchen enabled me to cook all my meals. A large shopping centre...

Dear Janet
Thank you for comments.
The Executive studios were only completed in 2010 and have been completely refurbished with new bathroom, kitchen and furniture. There are only 5 of these new rooms and they are often booked out. Other rooms will be refurbished over the coming year so more guests will be able to enjoy our hospitality with a...

We stayed at the Kaiviti Motel for 2 nights. For our family of 4, it was very convenient to have our own kitchen, and 2 bedrooms, and the location was an easy walk to town. The rate was affordable and they were very flexible about check-in and check-out times, as our flight was delayed. The staff was very friendly here...

Dear Travelling_Axe
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback regarding our motel.
Yes we agree that there is still more work to be done on many of the rooms. The property was very run down when purchased and there has been a lot of work done that you can’t see since that time. We are addressing the...

We are a family of 4 and stayed in one of the 2 bedroom apartments. Had a great view of the harbour. Furniture was dated but comfortable. The big screen TV and being able to watch Australian TV made up for it. Kaiviti is in a great spot with 2 supermarkets within walking distance so we could save money by...

Dear Sally
Thank you for your feedback. We concur that the furniture is dated and we are progressively replacing it and recovering chairs to improve the look and comfort of the apartments. Our regular guests see something different and improved on every visit. 8 station TV is standard now in the apartments, Executive studios and soon the air conditioned studios....

Stayed at Kaiviti many times before and the new executive rooms are great and well worth the extra. They have been completely redone with Queen bed and large TV. The kitchen was awesome with a larger fridge/freezer, microwave and a proper stove and oven. New bathroom was clean and spacious.
Furniture has improved with comfy chairs for reading and well...
