Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Long way from where we staying (a journey from Port Vila). Hard to get a bus, had to pay extra 🤬 Maybe there at the wrong time, 15:00 on a Thursday, not much happening, stayed for a few drinks and left, only to be greeted...by a local holding a large carving knife, asking us where we were going? 😡 After having to haggle with the bus driver, we just paid overs to get out of there 🥴 Seemed like a decent enough place, the area/adult locals once we left gave a different vibe 🤬 Personally, not worth the effort 👎More

This is a fun evening with good food and casual atmosphere The fire show is spectacular these guys are so talented Perhaps more seating on beach would be good . It is worth going to fire show and prebook if possible

The fire show on a Friday night was great entertainment. Highly recommended. The seafood pizza that resulted in food poisoning on the other hand is not recommended. Apparently two of their fridges went out that day. Bad luck for us. Not a great way to...end our holiday.More

This was another delightful place and event to visit in Port Vila. The show was sensational and the Melee beach so beautiful. Food and service was very good and we felt reasonably priced.

Over crowded, terrible service. The food was not good to eat and everyone in our group that had anything other than pizza got sick. I took 2 weeks to recover from eating here. The fire show is ok but don’t eat here.

We went on a Friday night so we could experience the fire show. We booked a table before we left Australia as it quite often is fully booked due to the popularity of he fire show. We arrived early to make sure we had our...delicious food and drinks before the show. Even though it was very busy, the bar was quick to get your drinks and the food was ready in a Reasonable amount of time and was also delicious. We were sat at a communal table with another couple and also a mother and son and really enjoyed talking to other people about their experiences in Vanuatu. The fire show was spectacular, definitely a must-do, very talented group and you will be amazed!More

We went here twice. Circus show and fire show with 2 small kids. Bookings recommended as it is getting more popular. Great atmosphere with easy access to the beach front. Good food choices for adults and kids. Quick service. Plenty of staff on show nights....These guys have bounced back post cyclone damage. Come before sunset to soak up the extended area (beach, jetty and hideaway island). We stayed nearby so didn't have the bus dramas but i would recommend sorting your transport options out in advance.More

We were here on a Friday night with a group of 12 of us. It got busy really really fast! The line for ordering drinks was huge. We were given a table right at the back, which obviously usually isn't there, they just needed it...because of how busy they were. So it wasn't a great spot, but understandable because of how busy they were and they tried their best to fit everyone in. Fire show was great of course. Kids loved having a go with the fire gear afterwards.More
