Tanna Evergreen Resort & Tours
"Hermoso resort, habitaciones cรณmodas y buena atenciรณn el รบnico problema es que no pudimos baรฑarnos, nos quedamos una noche y al dรญa siguiente nos dijeron que no habรญa agua porque estaban haciendo unas reparaciones, tuvimos que pedir agua para poder cepillarnos los dientes"
Alofa Beach Bungalows
"We stayed only for 1 night but we loved it, everyone is kind and very helpful if we were to visit Tanna again we would stay here longer, John is lovely and everyone maintaining the bungalow does their best to help you to enjoy your stay. It has everything you would need in a place. If you book ahead of time contact them for any tours they may have, they're honestly very kind and welcoming. Breakfast was complimentary and was delicious. Thank you for everything!"
White Grass Ocean Resort
"The hotel itself is very good locally, but the facilities on the island are limited. There is no Wi-Fi in the rooms; it is only available at the reception area. The meals also depend on the supply of resources on the island."
