We stayed at Evergreen as part of our Air Taxi tours to see the volcano. We were traveling with another couple.
In general the staff is extremely nice and friendly. The food from their restaurant is really good.
Two downside about the place. Firstly the manager Silvana didn't welcome us or even talk to us, yet we were only around...

"Evergreen" as the resort is referred to, is the best locally owned and operated accommodation on Tanna and is a role model for all others in Vanuatu. Operating the largest touring vehicles fleet on the island with daily excursions to all the top spots. Sam's father, Chief Tom Numakee, was the first guide to the volcano learning his skills from the great pioneer; Bob Paul who started the first airline in Vanuatu. The resort is set under the protection and shade of a giant banyan tree and palm trees – assisted with a gentle ocean breeze, with endless ocean views and pristine coral reef 100 metres in front of the resort. It is truly a snorkeller’s paradise. Evergreen Resort obtains its electricity from generator which operates at least 8 hours per day. It all started in 1995, when Sam, the son of Chief Tom Numake was at the time driving tours throughout Tanna Island. The couple could see the new airport being built and acquired the land for their venture. "We saw the potential of establishing accommodation close to the airport and in 1996, commenced building; it took 2 years to establish a small restaurant, 4 modest shared facilities bungalows and one touring vehicle. Those days are long gone; we are now the largest 100% owned and operated Ni-Vanuatu Bungalow on Tanna Island and have won the Best Bungalow of the Year (2006) at the Vanuatu Hospitality Awards. Eco-tourism is natural to us, as protecting our land, sea and culture is essential to surviving on this island. But, as importantly, we want to encourage other Ni-Vanuatu’s to work for their own and their country’s economic independence. You could say, self reliance is our greatest motivation and we take this opportunity to thank the thousands of people we have had the pleasure of looking after in their discover of our island."
