Lovely place with great sunsets. Nice food. Snorkelling trip great (not complimentary as on website but paid for 2 snorkelling sites with a guide, still well worth doing). Need a 24 hour reception (large earthquake 7.1 while we were there and no one to ask about safety/what to do which didn’t feel super safe). Also maybe not the best place for a long beach stay - only 3 sun loungers on the resort, but good for a short stay whilst seeing things on the island.

Nice resort with friendly staff

We had a good stay at the resort. The pick up from airport was an easy process and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. During our stay, Air Vanuatu cancelled our flight back to Port Vila and we were “stranded” on the island for 2 days, the staff went above and beyond to email Air Vanuatu to get more info for us and helped us re-arrange travel and accommodation. Overall, the resort is clean with good Wifi near the reception. The Wifi can be a bit patchy if you’re in the bungalows further away from reception but that’s alright since we are on a holiday anyways. The resort can arrange the tours for you including Mt Yasur volcano, Blue Cave, Kastom Village Tour, etc. Recommended if you’re visiting Tanna.

Einfaches Hotel auf mystischer Insel

Einfaches, gepflegtes Resort mit erstaunlich unmotiviertem Personal. Einzig im Tauchshop wurden wir serviceorientiert bedient. Wir waren 3 Nächte in einem Bungalow mit zwei Zimmer. Einrichtung war ok, jedoch keine Fenster sondern lediglich Mückengitter. Durchschlafen war kaum möglich, denn starkes Hundegebell uns immer wieder daran hinderte. Frühstück am Morgen war sehr einfach, aber für einen kurzen Aufenthalt hat es gepasst. Wir haben dreimal am Abend gegessen. Die Auswahl an Gerichten war eingeschränkt, jedoch die Qualität war gut. Preis/Leistung ist in Ordnung. Ein Highlight ist sicher das sehr schöne Hausriff. Da kaum Alternativen auf Tanna vorhanden sind, kann ich das Hotel empfehlen. Tanna Island ist auf jedenfall einen Besuch wert.

If staying on Tanna, and you want a resort with facilities, this is the best area to be. Currently run by an Aussie, White Grass offers all meals and you have private facilities in your bure. All up a great experience, they employ all locals who are very friendly and you get that side of the experience as well.

Beware of expensive ripoff day trips!!!

The Resort itself is beautifully located right on a coral water front with a small sandy beach next door. The grounds are kept very tidy. They offer scuba diving. Wifi is in main area only and slow. The management are very cold and unapproachable. Beware of the day trips on the white board at reception that are not otherwise advertised on flyer or website. We were taken for a run around to collect Kava and coconuts by our driver with a very bare mean lunch and 2 bottles of water to last for a hot 9 hour day on the road. When we got back I went to the manager who got red-faced and was incredibly loud and rude towards me for what had happened, saying he wasn't there in the morning to supervise....!!? When I returned after I gave him space to cool down, he agreed to a half day discount, which was barley satisfying for a full wasted day of our 2 night stay and priced in Australian Dollars was super expensive. Discussing behavior that left a nasty taste in our mouth. We met traveller's at the airport who stayed right next door and had a bbq made on the beach and went to a village and met local's saw the traditional island living and had a terrific day on the same day for a much lower price.

Kleinschalig hotel met leuke huisjes aan zee

Mooi complex met hutjes verspreid over het terrein. Zwembad is klein en ligbedden staan verspreid over het grasveld. Geen strand bij het hotel, maar via een steiger loop je zo de zee in waar je kunt snorkelen. Eten is goed, excursies keurig geregeld vanuit het hotel en de transfer van en naar de luchthaven is gratis.

Gorgeous resort - friendly staff, great location

This fabulous-looking resort is located a convenient few minutes by road from Tanna airport, which made transfers in and out of Tanna really simple. Sabine, the general manager was on hand to welcome us (a nice touch) upon arrival and we were given a very nice fruit drink to relax with while the check-in was organised. The bar and restaurant building is situated near a cliff with excellent views of the ocean and stunning sunsets. The resort is nice and intimate - about 15 rooms, all isolated within their own portion of a large, beautiful and well-kept garden that stretches across the entire grounds. We were fortunate enough to stay in room 5, which is about 30 metres from the resort pool and has a great view of the ocean beyond. The room was comfy with a king bed, fridge, mosquito coils (sorely needed, as there are LOTS of mozzies after dark) and good water pressure/temperature in the shower - the hot water only lasted for one day before maintenance had to refill the gas tank, but after that it was fine. We even had a cute little gecko hanging around the roof outside. We found the resort to be in a perfect location for the various Tanna activities we planned - Mt Yasur, Blue Cave, Lounakiel Waterfall, Kava & Magic - but if you're only here for the volcano or other East Tanna experiences then you may wish to consider bungalows closer to that side. Special mention to Sabine and booking staff, who gave us brochures and kept us informed of everything we needed months in advance.

Un endroit idéal pour se reposer et profiter du calme avec cette vue incroyable sur les récifs et l’ocean Avons même vu des baleines depuis notre chambre .

Great place to stay for a cyclone!

The resort provides transportation to and from the Tanna Airport. When we arrived at the resort office we were greeted by the friendly staff ( and manager Wayne) while being handed a glass of fresh squeezed fruit juice during the check in process. We arrived before noon and our ‘hut’ was ready for us and we were able move in. When I put word hut in quotes I did that becomes it was much more - a nice spacious room with power outlets (220 - NZ plugs) running hot and cold water for the bathroom, mini fridge, double bed with netting and ceiling fan. Sorry - no air conditioning, but you probably won’t miss it as the breezes are perfect. We stayed 2 nights and completely enjoyed ourselves. Besides the many side trips available there was also an excellent dive shop. We did 2 reef dives and a dive to the Blue Cave. The experienced dive masters were great to dive with and very helpful to us as we were a little rusty when it come to diving. The restaurant was very good with a very decent menu and there was also a bar with a great happy hour daily. Everyone of the resort staff were friendly and helpful. Wayne was especially helpful for us when Cyclone Hola was nearing and our scheduled flight was cancelled - he worked his connections and got us seats in the last flight out even as his staff was preparing for high winds and rough seas. Wayne and the rest of the staff went out of their way to make sure that our vacation was the best possible experience at their resort - and they succee
