Relaxing, quiet and fun
We stayed as a couple for 9 nights in July and enjoyed our time here. Everybody else had young children who were well behaved and we had a bungalow further from the pool and nanny area. This is a great place for young families. The evening performances by local people were great. We often did kayaking to the islands out in the lagoon and twice stopped in for lunch at the nearby upmarket Eratap resort. Big thanks to Rose and owners for arranging a rental car, day trip to Lelepah island and overnight to the volcano at Tanna island, you were very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly.

Lovely resort with only a small number of rooms giving you a personal feel. The staff did everything they can to please and ensure a relaxing enjoyable holiday. They have nanny's that are available for free to play with the kids while you are in the resort. While we want to enjoy the holiday with the kids, the kids enjoyed the time with the nanny's including doing special activities like weaving, local style cooking and adventuring to a nearby island. The nanny's are from the local village thus helping to support the community.

We had a great time staying at Aquana, the staff are friendly and will do above and beyond to make your stay an awesome one. Kids had heaps of fun, the kayaks were free you can kayak to a number of islands opposite the resort. It is a bit removed from the main road so you need to get a bus or hire a driver / car to go around, otherwise you won't have much to do. We had a great time the 3 nights we stayed.

Child friendly resort
The staff were great. The food was great. The service was great. However, while the single beds were comfortable, the queen bed was hard and unfortable. The pillows were also all unfortable. The airconditioning worked wonderfully. The bathroom, while basic, was adequate. The shower was hot with lots of pressure. The fridge was cold, not like the fridge and shower on Iririki or the shower on Iririki where we stayed last year. We would stay at Aquana again.

Very family friendly
My kids (ages 4 & 8) absolutely loved the kids club. Valerie and her wonderful team of nannies made all the difference. My kids couldn't stop talking about the nannies and all the fun activities they did. We went on the snorkeling trip operated by the resort and they arranged to have a nanny go along to keep an eye on the kids while the adults snorkeled. The guy from the beach hut who took us on the snorkeling trip was so patient with the kids, taught them to snorkel and guided them to view the fish and coral while lying on a kickboard with a see through plastic panel. The rest of the staff at the resort were also very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful unforgettable family holiday thanks to the lovely team at Aquana.

Relaxed family resort
We were looking for a smaller resort with access to all the simple water activities, to share our 70th birthdays with our daughters and their families (5 children ages 3 to 11) Aquana was perfect, a safe environment with lots to do : on land all children participated in lovely activities organised by Valerie & her skilled team of Nannies ; on the lagoon lots of kayaking & paddle-boarding. Good food, enjoyable evening entertainment enhanced the stay. Because we hired cars we could access Zipline & Mele Cascades though road access to resort is a challenge.

Perfect Place For A Honeymoon or a Family Holiday!
My husband and I loved staying at Aquana Beach Resort for our honeymoon. Everyone is very friendly and always very accommodating. It is a beautiful place to stay great accommodation, food, relaxing atmosphere where you can have a drink via the pool, read a book in the hammocks at the front of the bungalows. Also the chance to go kayaking or paddle boarding, get a massage or enjoy some time in the spa. You can order room service at no extra charge or you can dine at the restaurant. At Aquana they have different activities happening too for example the opportunity to watch some epic fire dancing and a trivia night too. Free buffet breakfast too each morning. When I was sick the staff offered me panadol and provided cooling washers and asked how I was feeling the next day. The staff at Aquana look after their guests and staff really well taking the time to ask if everything is ok with your meal and more then happy to answer questions. My husband and I definitely recommend staying at Aquana Beach Resort and we will be coming back here in the future for a holiday!
