Hideaway Island Resort

It was amazing staying in the island. The staff is friendly and helpful and everything you need is on the island. The breakfast had a good variety.

I have been a regular visitor to Hideaway Island for some years. Having been in this industry and well aware of what the elements can do, I can only praise the regular staff on their efforts to keep Hideaway running as well as it does. Right now the hard part, only one meal was memorable , the curry, lovely! Breakfast, chopping up a couple of local grapefruit and a bit of pawpaw, does not rate, nor do the dry little cakes. We do pay for this meal, it is included in accommodation, yes I could have paid for a cooked alternative, but have little appetite for this first thing in the morning. I will not comment on the beach facilities as I could see others enjoying themselves, I had a cold, however we were staying in the privately owned rooms with a pool, yes I did enjoy my swim . Sad to see the house has still not been adequately cared for, a dislodged gutter allowed to drip for a long time! has rotted wood . We paid the extra, got full time wifi and a tv, a real bonus given the humid weather. I would however like others to be able to have access to a tv , weather has been very inclement this year and it is nice to have the option. Books can be heavy with weight restrictions. Not everyone can handle the numerous sandflies, which are everywhere in the Islands this year. The staff do a wonderful job, but I think a dinner of fish and chips , my fish came battered on a stick! is hardly up to the standard, I compared this meal and pricing to many others enjoyed in the past.

This is now our 3rd visit to Hideaway in 2 years and already planning our next trip. The staff is absolutely amazing, courteous and very kind and helpful. The diving sites are very relaxed and pleasant. A sanctuary on earth. Looking forward to our visit again. Tank yu Tumas

Rooms were clean and had a good fan but the double bed is too small for a couple (best to get 2 single beds). Shared bathrooms could be better maintained. The island is lovely, staff is friendly, snorkels and fins are free to see the coral. The restaurant is good, but has restricted options for vegetarians. Breakfast is very good, lots of fruit, cereal, breads, pastry, coffee. It is very easy and quick to cross to the main island and free of charge if you are staying in the island. There's another restaurant/pub right at the jetty and it is also very good, for those staying longer looking for more options. Very enjoyable, reasonably priced, great breakfast, lovely staff.

This was our second visit to Hideaway Island and we were disappointed to see that the place was even more run down that the last visit which was only in 2015. About time the owners spend some money on an upgrade. They also need to take some responsibility for keeping visitors from standing on the reef! A floating exclusion zone would help the reef recover which it is never going to do if it keeps getting abused! There seems to be no inclination from management to do anything to help preserve the reef which is the drawcard for this resort. Even having better signage in a number of languages might help! Seriously - would not go there again!

Me and my girlfriend loved this place. You are literally on a tiny island! The staff is really friendly, the snorkeling was fantastic and the place was so beautiful! I definitely recommend it and will be back for sure!

Great location, great staff, but really needs some work on the resort to update the facilities

Its location is very good. It provide free masks and fins for us.

Staying at Hideaway really made our trip that bit more special as it has such a lovely relaxed atmosphere with snorkelling at your doorstep that was amazing! The fish were plentiful and very friendly that I truly felt immersed in the island lifestyle. We cant wait to go back and enjoy the amazing water views from our bungalow. Getting into Port Villa is easy access with ferry running all day and night as needed. Buses were always available to take us where we wanted to go. Staff were friendly and helpful with anything we needed.

Great location and free 24 Jr. Service of boat to mainland. Loved the relaxed casual feeling. Food not great, but then we are spoilt by the fantastic free food available in NZ
