Have just arrived home from spending nine glorious days at Eratap and can say that from the time you are picked up by Robert at the airport to the time you leave is an outstanding experience. Tony, Louisa and Pascalle and all their wonderful team,Sharon, Jenny and Walter and many more go out of their way to make your stay... More

We loved our stay at Eratap & made the most of all the activities on offer. Would highly recommend taking the kayaks out at sunrise or sunset for a paddle round the lagoon - a magical time of day. My partner was lucky enough to be there when the surf was working & Tony was very helpful with advice on... More

Dear Kazwald, As you know I am sorry that your experience was dampened by getting sick. In regards to our water I can advise that we do our utmost to ensure it is clean. Like in all of Vanuatu our water comes from under the ground but it is from our own private source - not shared by others. Once... More

After spending four nights at eratap we cannot speak highly enough of the resort. From the service to the views everything was absolutely perfect. Every meal was excellent and my wife and I are Very fussy eaters. My wife is a vegetarian and I only eat seafood or vegetarian dishes but the selection was fantastic. The rooms, villas are stunning.... More

There are two aspects of Eratap that make is singular: the people who work at the resort, and the location of the resort itself. Let me start by saying that the staff at Eratap are some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered, not just at a resort. Because the resort is so small, everyone seems to be on first... More

This is the second time our family has stayed at Eratap and we have booked to go again! The villas are on the beach front so the view is amazing and you feel like your the only people staying on the resort. The beds are so comfortable that I actually asked where they bought them from as all of my... More

I completely endorse the comments of the last review posted. It reflects perfectly our experience. I would only add that I found the standard of the villas fairly ...ahem...average - with e.g. the mini fridge and tv etc being poor quality, th ebed firm and fairly uncomfortable and the seating very ordinary. On the plus side we loved the private... More

Dear Jonty22, I am sorry Eratap did not meet your expectations and whilst we try very hard to please everyone it is not always possible to do so. Strangely enough the areas you had problems with – service, food and villa quality are the areas the vast majority of our guests applaud us for – on a daily basis. That... More

We selected Eratap for a few days break in Vanuatu based on the many outstanding reviews it has received here. Make no mistake, it is very good, at the price you would expect that, but there are a few things that visitors need to be aware of, and moreover a few things that could maybe be done to make it...

Dear JCBDigger, We have noted all your comments and will try and make improvements where we can. There is so much I could say in response to this review but I will try and respond to the key points to keep it as succinct as possible. The Wi Fi does struggle to get through the thick concrete walls of the... More

I have just returned from a three day stay at Eratap. We had a two bedroom villa and it was a large spacious villa. The beach frontage was excellent. Snorkelling off the beach was good as was going out in the resort's boats to other reefs to snorkel. The food at the restaurant was tasty and well presented. We used... More

We stayed here for 7 nights for our honeymoon in November 2011 and loved this resort. The two Honeymoon Villas were fully booked, but when we arrived we were upgraded to a 2 bedroom villa, which gave us lots of space to relax and 2 bathrooms to use! The staff couldn't be more friendly and hospitable. Nothing is a problem... More
