Breakas Beach Resort

We stayed at Breakas with our friends and we had an awesome experience. From the moment we walked in and were welcomed by the staff with a mocktail we felt relaxed. Breakas is a perfect place to enjoy some relaxing time by the pool with a cocktail, island music and the sounds of the waves in the background. A special shout out goes to Mantie and Willie who both went above and beyond to make our stay the best holiday we could have asked for. Thank you Tumas to all the staff at Breakas, we will definitely be coming back in the future.

Vanuatu is beautiful and the people here are very friendly. Arrival at the airport: Just to note, it runs on island time and its small, no air con, only ceiling fans at the airport. If your in a hurry, you will get frustrated and cranky, so you will need to chill and start relaxing. Also to note, there are a few different outlets in the airport to exchange cash. We waited until we went through customs. My advice, cash in some to get you through til you can get to any Goodies or cash exchange place in Port Vila, which seems to have a better conversion rate. The locals will be able to drop you there by bus, which is a minivan. The roads aren't very good and they do drive on opposite side to us Aussies, (which is a bit freaky at first) We stayed at Breakas Beach Resort. Which is lovely and relaxing. No kids at this resort, which is a reason we chose it. We were ready to relax and enjoy our holiday. I had parmesan prawn and squid skewers after we arrived and they were so delicious and my partner had Tuna, and he said it was amazing as well. The menu here is the same set menu for 3 nights, then Melanesian Feast, which is great. And they provide melanesian music and dance. They have a different set menu for the other 3 nights. There are different restaurants around and heading into Port Vila if you wish to venture out. They have easy listening music most nights at Breakas. I had our complimentary massage from Breakas and it was wonderful. Port Vila is bustling and very busy and crazy. No real road rules, and its definitely a sight that we don't see everyday. We stumbled across some market stalls, handicrafts etc, which are great. And it was good to give to the families. The Promenade is lovely and you can see Irriki straight across. We went to Blue Lagoon and pretty much had it to ourselves for a while, but, I do believe it gets really busy when the cruise ships come in. We also went to Eden on the River which is breathtaking, again we were only ones there. Tanna Coffee is good to visit and has a little Cafe. The chocolate factory is small and the chocolate is delicious. You can pay for the tour if you wish. We didnt though. The Banyon Bar in Port Vila is a great spot for lunch. Vanuatu EcoTour. What a great tour. The guys are so lovely, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend doing this. You can reach out to them via their Facebook Page. Last stop was Mele Beach Bar for the Fireshow. The final sunset in Vanuatu was pretty. These guys are amazing. I truly recommend seeing this show. They survive feeding their families in donations. I do recommend taking reef shoes, aeroguard tropical strength and sanitizer. All in all our first trip to Vanuatu was amazing and highly recommend

The facilities are basic, the breakfast only includes 2 cereals, 3 types of fruit (if in season) 2 types of milk, some pastries, any hot dishes have to be ordered from the menu at resort prices. There were chips in the bowls used for breakfast. I got cleaned out of all my cash ( app $580 AUD in local currency) whilst having breakfast and the room was being cleaned. When i reported the loss, I was made to fill out an incident report and was also reminded of the need to keep my valuables secure, then, when I requested feedback on the investigation: I was told the security team was in a meeting, and quickly given the tropical shoulder shrug and dismissed. Stay at own risk.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Our beach front fare, with lovely ocean views, was very comfortable and well serviced every day. The only issue we had were that as I cannot eat seafood of any kind the menu was rather limiting and we found the meals to be far too big.

Booked this resort last minute because of the AV debacle. Fares very nice, thatched roof and timber shutters, blocking out most daylight if needed for an afternoon nap. Open air bathroom lovely, love being able to look up at the sky whilst in the shower. Even had a resident crab staking his claim in the rock / coral shower wall. The fares were well screened, with a solid door into the bathroom. There was also a net over the bed which we didn't use. Because the roof was thatched with no lining underneath, you did get a few leaves etc on the bed, but a quick brush off and all good. Bug spray and coils were also left in the bathroom for use. We used a coil on the first night, then didn't have to worry. King size bed very comfortable, and day bed also in the fare with plenty of bench space to put bags etc. The fare also had hanging space and shelves in the bathroom which was fantastic. The restaurant is being run by an Italian couple, Cindy and Paulo. Paulo is in the kitchen doing a wonderful job, and Cindy is running the front of house. You could see her in action training up the local staff, very efficient, and clearly loves what she and Paulo are doing. Paulo seemed to be on lunch and dinner most nights, don't know when they weren't there! The food on most nights was really great, some nights though, was absolutely fantastic. They do a seafood night (unsure of what night that was). The platters that came out looked beautiful. The eye fillet was melt in your mouth, while veges were in keeping with local cooking, but still tasted great. Breakers do not let this couple go anywhere! Breakfast was continental buffet and was included in fare price. This was more than adequate, including cereals, toast, pastries, different fruits, pancakes, yoghurt, juice and tea and coffee. You could order a hot breakfast off the menu which cost extra. Staff were all lovely. On arrival we had a quick chat and lovely juice. The reception staff were very helpful. You had to go up everyday and get a new wifi number. The resort could probably do a more intensive chat on arrival. We only found a room behind the restaurant on our last day with everything you needed for the water, including fins, masks and snorkels, reef shoes. We had our own, so weren't looking for anything like that, but you definitely needed reef shoes. There is a huge low tide, so the pool comes in hand. But low tide happens everywhere so you can't be worried about it, just go out, or use the pool. But if you can book a holiday around high tide and good swimming times, that helps. There were a couple of special nights held at Breakers, one night the fire dancers came and entertained everybody, and another night was a traditional night, with dancers, kava tasting. It all happens poolside whilst dining so no-one misses out. There was a local convenience store across the street. We didn't go over there, but a lot of people were coming back with bags of snacks etc. You can

Beautiful, welcoming, & deeply relaxing. I'll be coming back. Staff were super lovely.

Very relaxing 👍

We thought location was good, proximity to beach was excellent. Pool was lovely. Restaurant was expensive. No wifi in rooms was frustrating No a/c was also a bit hard to take. Rooms were very hot. Overall the place was nice. Staff were great

Very good chef, beautiful bay, nice snorkelling and paddle boarding, the included breakfast was terrible, very limited and no proper coffee unless you want to pay astronomical prices. Was very expensive for example a packet of chips cost AUD 7.25. Meals AUD167 for 2
