8/10 Good
"This is a great place to stay away from the busy and dusty Port Vila. The resort is tucked between the coral sea and the virgin forest. My bungalow front doors overlooked the sea, and I could hear the waves all night. The restaurant area is an open space and provides good quality wifi. The staff is always ready to help. My reservation included breakfast. It is served on a plate, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast, fruit and a drink of my choice. There are many activities on offer; massage, diving ... I recommend Le Life resort for those looking for a hideaway spot."
