The review below could have been written by us! My husband, myself and 11 year old daughter stayed here for 3 nights as well to see the Volcano. We also came from the exclusive Eratap Resort. We knew what to expect as most resorts on this island are basic. We were under whelmed by the villa on first site as... More

My husband & I stayed here for 3 nights at the end of our honeymoon, so we could visit the volcano at night. The temporary manager (an Australian) filling in for the owners who were away, was lovely, if a bit flamboyant, and was waiting for us at the airport to drive us to the resort. We had Villa 5,...

This being my second visit to White Grass Ocean Resort, I knew what to expect. This time with partner in tow, and was as enjoyable as the previous visit 2 years ago. The staff always had smiling faces, and made us feel at home, with all requests catered for without hesitation. The meals were exquisite and varied every day, hats... More

Overall, WGOR did not quite live up to our expectations. We stayed in room 3, which was well located with gorgeous views of the garden and ocean. It was clean and had some nice touches, such as the mossie coils and shelves out of an old canoe. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were not so comfortable. The locals... More

We enjoyed our 5 night stay at Whitegrass. the managers and staff were very friendly and welcoming .The rooms appear to be all the same however some have better views than others 3 and 5 have good ocean views. storing clothes was a bit of an issue as there are no wardrobes or draws. Each room as its own seating... More

Gorgeous location with really friendly atmosphere. Blue hole and volcano tours are a must. Daily changing menu with fabulous fresh local produce inc crab and lobster freshly caught and inexpensive. While we were there a hitch with the usual, very good chef, meant that locum manager Pam took over in the kitchen to cook up some amazing pumpkin soup entree... More

We stayed here at the recommendation of friends who are expats and live at Port Vila. Unfortunately, our experience was not that great. After we cancelled our tour we had initially booked through Whitegrass to go to the volcano, their attitude towards us changed considerably. We chose to go with Evergreen Resort which was next door as it was about... More

My husband, daughter and I returned from Vanuatu last week, spending 3 nights on Tanna at White Grass Ocean resort. This resort is amazing, we were all absolutely captivated with this tropical paradise, everyone made us feel so welcome, were so helpful and were happy to answer the many questions we bombarded them with. It is so hard to explain... More

We have stayed in many places, many 5 star spots & while the accommodations are simple burres with thatched roofs, this was one of the most charming places we have ever experienced. Great adventures, very good food & service, but the setting is spectacular. Lovely tropical gardens set right on a gorgeous reef. We loved our stay there! More
