# Would you recommend staying in Port Vila for 8 days. Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu
itchymum 10:05 UTC 22 Mar 2012 | My husband and I are planning a trip to Port Vila in April with our 12 month old. We travelled a lot pre baby but this trip we would like to take it easy, eat nice food and go to the beach. We will fly into Port Vila and we would like to stay there if it's nice. Can we stay there all week? Are there nice beaches, restaurants, hotels? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks |
mandja 22:03 UTC 22 Mar 2012 | We stayed in Vila some years ago when kids were smaller (but not babies) and really enjoyed our stay.at the Le Meridian. The locals, like all Pacific Islandrs are wonderful with kids and babies Vila is very quiet which should suit, I'm guessing "Can we stay there all week? Are there nice beaches, restaurants, hotels?" Depends on what you like to do, but we found plenty. Thgerte are some nice beaches, great food and good hotels, yes. | 1
