We arrived at 1am to the most amazing view from our balcony. The room certainly over delivered and even had a washing machine/dryer which was really handy. Staff were great and of special note was the restaurant and bar both were great especially the food in the restaurant, truly world class. It's about 10 minutes from Vila (150VTU AUD1.50 per... More

Glad I picked this place. I wanted somewhere quiet overlooking the water. On Fridays there's live music in the bar which is great if you want to have some kava and meet the locals. We asked for a room furthest from the bar which was a good idea as when we were done for the night we could back to... More

My husband and I were looking for a retreat from our stressful lives and after hours and hours of reading trip advisor, we finally settled on Starfish Cove because our priority was a separate 1 bedroom unit. It is probably a little further out of Vila than I thought, but this is not a problem at all, the buses are... More

My mum and I stayed here for our holiday to Vanuatu and it was fantastic! The staff were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and they made our stay really comfortable. We stayed in room 136 which was furthest from the bar and restaurant so we had very peaceful evenings. The rooms are very spacious and well cleaned everyday with kitchen... More

My daughter and I were visiting Port Vila for the first time, so really unsure what to expect in terms of accommodation styles and location. We wanted a self-contained, modernish hotel within close proximity to Port Vila. We checked, double-checked and read a million and 1 reviews on pretty much every accommodation option in Vila and finally decided on Starfish... More

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights, and it was awesome. We were in room 136, which is the furthest from the reception. Upon getting in the room I found a card from hotel management congratulating us on our honeymoon. The room was modern and spacious. The bed was comfy and the couch was comfy. We loved the... More

This was our first visit to Port Vila and we wanted reasonably priced, but good, accommodation which offered both a kitchen and an on-site restaurant. We did lots of research and finally booked with Starfish Cove, having negotiated a good price direct with the resort. We were pleased with our choice. The accommodation was modern and comfortable. The kitchen was... More

My husband, self and two children visited Starfish Cove (called Starfish by the locals) for a week earlier this year. We caught a bus 2,000 vatu from the airport to Starfish. We were warmly welcomed by Cyclone and Sydney (GM) upon arrival and given a cool drink. The drink was most welcome as we had travelled from cold Melbourne and... More

There is no doubt that Starfish Cove is a top-quality resort. Easily 5 stars, with the accommodation just about a year old. The anomaly being its position. Facing the resort is a hideous mess where the hillside has been inexpertly cut away to afford a saleable piece of land. Seemingly attached to the resort on the east side is a... More

Starfish Cove was just lovely. They are like a studio apartment with a small kitchen facility, a lounge area, separate bedroom and a bathroom with washer/dryer. Everything you could need was there and the quality was very good. The resort also has a small fitness centre, pool, a beauty spa (great massage!), a bar and restaurant. Food was excellent, staff...
