“As it was my first trip to Tonga, I contacted the hotel in advance for the Airport Shuttle Service which was 100 TOP for a round trip. Despite the return trip being at 2am, the driver was punctual.The payment would be in cash and the host informed me that there was an ATM at the airport.

“We came only because of a delay in our flight from Vavau to Tongatapu. But the short stay was so amazing. The hotel operators were very nice and kind, and helped accommodate our last-minute changes due to the flight uncertainty. We will come back again in future to watch the whales!”
“The Emerald Hotel was a lovely place to stay. Those who worked there were so kind and friendly. We loved our stay. A special thanks to Nai on the reception.”
“We had an amazing 3 night stay at Mala resort.
This family run accommodation is a great location within the Vava’u island group. The rooms are comfortable with spectacular views. With wifi in the common areas, it’s a great space to digitally detox while still being connected :) The hosts are so friendly and welcoming, happy to help with any request.

Thank you for having us.”
“Lilly, Ben and the rest of the Toafa Lodge team went out of their way to ensure we had an awesome stay.
We really appreciated all they did for us, including catering for my vegetarian diet, setting up Netflix on the big screen on a rainy night, organising a tour, lending us umbrellas and ponchos, helping us organise transport back, picking us up and dropping us off - even at Crazy O’clock - and much, much more.
On top of that, the rooms are lovely, comfortable and spacious. And there's an AC……
“Very friendly staff, what's beyond is the best customer service and excellent hospitality they offer very clean n tidy n it's a very good hideaway from the noisy township”
