Staff were incredibly friendly, handled bags and personalised rides around the island on a golf caddy! Room service was regular and the island is perfectly maintained and we'll kept.
On the island there are day passes and there are sections of different cabins to stay. Most are equipped with a lovely shower, (the water pressure is amazing!) toilet & lounge area with free WiFi and often a Jacuzzi on the deck. Some others are equipped with a largelounge connecting two rooms with a view of the yachting port & welcome area.
The islands equipment is wonderful for those staying there as you are able to Snorkel on the island with their sets of gear, you are able to sunbathe in the same area and the coral reefs are beautiful! The water was so warm, even though it rained for 10 minutes a day! Guess that's June weather!
There are also swimming pools, they're waterfall pools and they look absolutely gorgeous, with a bar next to it so you're able to jump out and get some hot food; (The prices can be a bit expensive, though) And of course, The Azure Restaurant really tops it all off with a beautiful view of the ocean and surrounding islands. The breakfast buffet is full of fresh fruit, pastries and other foods, some odd ones we came across was Banana with cheese or Special Sauteed Mushrooms but they are an absolute must try! With the cabin we rented, it was a free buffet breakfast every day and that was fantastic and always amazing to look forward to. There is also a casino on the island for those over 18 where you can purchase cigarettes also, and a beach where you can Kayak around the island and see shipwrecks from the most recent natural disaster, which are a sight to see, and it takes roughly 40 minutes paddle around the island. The areas are all free to use.
The Resort also has nights of different entertainment, like a Buffet Seafood Platter night, which was $180AUDish for two people, included Coconut crab, (which is endangered in Vanuatu and extinct on Efate) lobster, and more seafood delicacy of Vanuatu. There's also a Malenesian Feast every week and the atmosphere was natural and the food was fresh and traditional, with some Kava tasting for the adults. Must do!
Overall, The Iririki Island Resort is a wonderful and adventurous place to stay, with easy access to the island Efate and has a lot more to offer than I listed! The staff were friendly, the place was beautiful and I can't wait to go back next year.
