Le Life Resort

After visiting Takara Hot Springs my private tour 2 + me stopped here for lunch. Cool breeze, lovely food. I had fish cooked in coconut with chips and salad and a mixed fruit smoothie. Small handicraft shop. Fre WiFi and the car mc an even plugged in my phone to charge

I can’t recommend this place highly enough! The owner and operators are absolutely wonderful, so very friendly and helpful. The owner employees locals from the village located behind the the resort, they are filled with happiness and huge hearts ♥️ If you enjoy unplugging from the fast paced crazy world we call daily life do yourself a favour and visit this beautiful resort!

Awesome scenery from up there, beautiful crystal clear water but that’s it. Bungalows were ok for easy going people with no expectations, otherwise you’ll be quite disappointed. Everyday we experienced power cuts. All the food that’s advertised on social media, forget it, there is no chef so very limited menu available and really expensive. Placing an order was a big challenge because the workers don’t really speak English and even with basic communication they were preparing whatever they wanted and everyday the food was different from the day before and bare in mind that for anything you order is at least 1 hour waiting, even if you’re the only customer. The Quality of the food was very very low, we also got a food poisoning. We have been to Vanuatu before so we had already some standards in mind but up there is really different compared to the capital. I wouldn’t recommend to stay there for more than 2 days. No transportation around, definitely better to have a car. Elizabeth is the only superstar of that place, bless her that she made our staying much more enjoyable. Personally I don’t like to leave this type of reviews but I hope it can help anyone to make their booking choice…there are so many wonderful places in Efate where is better to spend your money.

Technically Le Life is good value, its one of the cheaper resorts, and you get what you pay for. The physical resort is nice, right on the beach, we had the family bungalow which overlooks a nice rock pool which you can swim in. There is an restaurant about 200m away, which is also the only place you will have WiFi and cell phone coverage, we got nothing in the cabins. Pros Isolated in a very natural environment with natural rock pools to swim in Good to disconnect and unwind as not much internet Restaurant had cocktails and beer and food, though at typical Australian prices. Closest attraction is TopRock for snorkelling, but you need a car to get there. While I think its a stretch to call the place a "Spa" they do have so Ni Vanuatu girls give pretty decent massages, just dont expect "spa" treatment. Cons Isolated, its at least 2 hours drive from port villa. if you dont want to get trapped there hire a car and drive there The power supply to the resort seems to be having problems, while we where there, we could hear a small generator running almost 24/7, so lights flicker fans change pitch or you just loose power all together. The kayak tour was closed due to fire ants in the area. (or so grandma told us) During the wet season Feb, they run a different menu in the restaurant, its not whats on the website. Its about 6 items, plus two pizzas, no salads, no snacks nothing light aside from a bowl of chips. Fine if your just there 3 days, but we where here 2 weeks. The staff are constantly rotated, which for us meant we could order the same meal 3 times and each time we got something different. We once ordered French Toast for breakfast and got sliced french bread that had been toasted with peanut butter. But by far the biggest issue for us, was food hygiene. We discovered that the kitchen would simply turn off their fridges and freezers overnight to save power. In the tropics, at peak summer. As a result we all got gastro, I personally had to go onto antibiotics when I returned to Australia. ive never had it this bad. There are other issues, but most we can look past. Our recommendation is if you do decide to stay here, hire a car, and limit your exposure (and bring gastro meds). Im sure if we had just stayed 5 days things may have been different.

Absolutely amazing! After a mishap when arriving to Vanuatu we were greeted by some of the most amazing and helpful people we have ever met. The owners and staff are extremely friendly. Lots of activities to do at the resort so we had an amazing time relaxing and swimming. The water is crystal clear, and the scenery is quite amazing, lots of SeaLife. beds were very comfortable with an option to use a firmer or softer pillows. rooms are nice with all the appliances you will need. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Located halfway in-between Top rock(snorkelling) and blue lagoon we always had activities to do when we weren't taking in the sun and relaxing on the beach.

We planned to stay 4 nights and ended up with more than a week. Such a lovely place with gorgeous food ( make sure you try their smoothies as well!) We really loved our bungalow - big space, nice design and comfortable bed. Everything is clean, you have a little kitchen as well. The view is just amazing. Small bays in front of the bungalows and lots of papaya trees in the garden. The whole staff is really lovely, taking care of everything and smiling all the time. Long story short we lived the vibe here, I’m sure that we will come back again. Thank you Tahnia for making our stay so memorable ☺️
