jahill 15:55 UTC 02 Feb 2007 | just wondering if anyone has stayed here before and there feedbeek on it. Also for 1 week what kind of money will i need for 2 people to sightsee, food, drink etc. |
Laszlo 12:23 UTC 03 Feb 2007 | Unless your priority is being close to the city centre, this island is not a great choice. While the resort itself is fine, it only has a very short sandy beach. Worse, as of last year, much of the island was actually cordoned off for ongoing construction work on what seemed like extensive condo development. Erakor Island would be a much better choice in Vila, or maybe Hideaway a bit further out. | 1
mandja 14:52 UTC 03 Feb 2007 | Irriki is by now, very crowded with development, but that said is in a great position , 3 mins by punt from the town centre and is in a fine part of the bay. The hotel is nice enough but as Laszlo says, there may be better options unless you want to be very central. | 2
mandja 14:53 UTC 03 Feb 2007 | BTW I found the snorkelling at Erakor to be disappointing but it is a comfy laid back place separated by punt from another resort and then only 10 mins from Vila. | 3
