# Le Lagon Resort V's Iriki Island Resort Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
chezzi 08:44 UTC 29 Nov 2007 | I am going to Vanuatu for the first time and after loads of researched I have narrowed it down to staying at either Le Lagon Resort or Iriki Island Resort. They both look/sound fantastic but I just can't deciede which one to go for! I was hoping some of you that have been there maybe able to help. My situation just so you have an idea of what I'm after............. I am travelling with my mum and we are after a casual relaxed holiday. Some days just chilling out at the resort enjoying the swimming/snorkling and activities. Some days going on a few tours to have a look around. Now a few questions which would help me out......... Which of the 2 has better swimming/snorkling? Le lagon looks to have a nice lagoon and Iriki looks to have some lovely water around it (being an island and all). Are they both good (and safe) water wise or is one particularly better than the other? Next thing is the cost, is there much price difference I wonder? Which has nicer rooms? From what I can gather Iriki has newer rooms (Snorklers Cove) plus the other rooms from the original section. I'm thinking Snorklers Cove may be a little exey so are the older rooms still quite nice? Which has better food, taste and value wise? I have read Le Lagon has a meal package (how much is this?) Also have ready with Iriki you can just go over to Vila and eat for variety. And basically just anything in general about both these resorts would be a great help! Gosh so much to think about !! It's so hard when you have not been before. Thanks, Chezzi |
zwei 03:25 UTC 30 Nov 2007 | A few years ago Iririki was a bit more 'refined' with Le Lagon being more family-orientated. If it's you and your mum perhaps go for Iririki. If it were you and your family, Le Lagon. | 1
