We stayed here recently and had a great time with our friends. The food was great, the cocktails yum and there were plenty of vantage points to sit and enjoy the amazing views. The only thing I was disappointed about was that free Internet wasn't included. I've stayed at places that are less in cost but still offer free Internet... More

After staying on the east side of Tanna for a couple of nights in far more basic accommodation, we decided to spoil ourselves with one night of luxury before we left. We wished we had stayed longer! The resort is beautiful, overlooking the ocean surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens. The food was also of a high standard. We had a... More

We should have stayed an extra day as 2 days was not enough. The whole trip was an experience. The flight to Tanna on a 12 seater, the trip to the local market, the Volcano experience, the four wheel driving on the ash planes and through pot holes, the snorkeling in the blue pools with fish and coral, the White...

I was in Fiji, read an article about mt yasur and decided to head over to Vanuatu and check out the island of Tanna. I went not knowing what to expect and 6 months later at the end of my trip it was still my favorite place. This resort is hands down the nicest on the island and the staff... More

Wow- it was simply unforgettable! We stayed for 3 nights and were given the honeymoon suite. The resturant has awesome food and has stunning views. The complimentary breakfast is the best I've ever had from a resort and has 3 corses. Snorkelling was fabulous right out front- super colourful reef/ walls - we saw turtles on numerous occasions as well... More

We've visited the Tanna island December last year, booked the white grass resort in advance through air taxi vanuatu. It was a truly amazing experience. Perfect paradise, isolated from everything else. Friendly staff, quality service and the volcano tour was amazing. Definitely recommend if you are planning to take the volcano tour, stay a night or two at the white... More

Did the Unity Airlines package tour to Tanna and the Mt Yasur safari this past Friday. Had originally opted for the somewhat cheaper but still mid-range Evergreen Resort next door but this being the off-season, the operator offered discounts on all accommodation and since the discount on White Grass was deeper than that on Evergreen the price difference shrunk by...

We stayed here one night solely for the purpose of seeing the volcano. The resort ran the tour and it was honestly one of the coolest things I've ever seen! As for the resort, its picturesque and the huts are quaint. The food was pretty good and the service was great. Overall, I'd recommend.

Stayed here for 5 nights after a week on Port Vila and initially struggled to adjust as the rooms were a lot smaller, the resort less equipped and there is only one pool. This is a reflection of the more basic facilities of the entire island and once you adjust the resort, and the island, are stunning. Great opportunity to... More
