"Just left holiday inn after spending 2 nights on Moso for our first trip to Vanuatu. From check in to departure, the staff couldn’t do enough to help, every single employee we came across was welcoming and kind. While the hotel is older the room was spotlessly clean and the food portions extremely generous. We would pick Vanuatu over the commercial vibe of Fiji and very single time. Special thank you to Edna who assisted us with check out. You’re an asset to the hotel and so is every single one of the food and beverage ladies. The creature comforts of a holiday inn, with the island hospitality that we have fallen in love with."
