Good property in Tonga with a great staff who communicated to us before and during our stay. It’s basic accommodations but they have a bar and restaurant and a five minute walk to town.

A beautiful, peaceful spot to relax and have drinks and food. Wi-Fi service brilliant, and room spotless, comfortable and above our expectations. Breakfast slightly limited and confusing, but overall Staff extremely friendly, and tasty food from the restaraunt.

8/10 Very good

Great location, with an easy walk to the markets, and town. Reception staff were lovely and helpful. Rooms were small but comfortable. Restaurant was disappointing, with the complimentary breakfast being just toast, and they had limited options due to them 'running out', when we went there for dinner.

10/10 Exceptional

nice hotel with restaurant, good location in walking distance to the centre and very close to the royal palace; we've been upgraded to the suite, which was very nice - spacious, view to the ocean over the street from the big balcony, air-conditioning (in living room and twin bedroom, not in double room), kitchen (but not really equipped); the down side was the included breakfast - only two pieces of toasted bread an a tiny portion of butter and jam (but you can order something else for a surcharge); very nice staff, good wifi, airport transfers possible and convenient

Staff genuinely want you to e joy yourself and will make plans for you to do things. I was staying for a few days on my way to Ha’apai and didn’t have any plans so then arranging things was nice. Lovely patio to enjoy the breeze and the ocean view. The food is delicious. Short walk to town for ATM. Bit much to do there though.

2/10 Poor

Not worth it !!

The only good thing is the views from the room (if you get the sea view ones), the building and rooms are outdated and smelly. They have provided one little soap for the shower in 5 days - they try to cheap out. In addition, some of their staff have an arrogant attitude. For 200+ Euros a night, Won’t come back, better options available in Nuku.

i stayed here to relax before i go in to my whale swinging group. the staff is so nice and welcoming and will plan outings for you. i chose not to do an island tour. the rooms are immaculately clean. i got a wonderful massage to get the long flight kinks out. the woman was excellent. there’s no beach or pool here but the view of the water is nice.

Had to phone property manager when I arrived and he was a bit rude because I had only booked for one night which wasn't my fault as this is allowed on the website. The owner checked me in and he was polite. Room a bit of a musty smell..needs airing. Also would have been nice to have tea,coffee, milk supplies which is usual in other similar places Ive stayed

4/10 Fair

We lived in Tonga 40 years ago and the Seaview was our go-to restaurant for special occasions. They now have accommodation as well so we booked here based on good reviews. The restaurant was still very good, but the accommodation left a lot to be desired. They advertise a “continental” breakfast as included, but apart from juice and coffee, all that you get is 2 slices of toast with butter and a meager quantity of jam. We paid extra for fruit salad, which was okay, but should have been included when we were paying over AU$400 per night. They give you two small bottles of water on arrival but no daily re-supply - again should be included. Our room (201) needs a lot of work - broken shower, loose toilet seat, badly cracked handbasin, safe not working, wardrobe door very hard to slide - bed was comfortable though.

We enjoyed our stay in Nuku’alofa because of the Seaview Lodge. Accommodations were great. The best thing about the property what’s the Customer Service we received. I would highly recommend anyone going to Tongatapu to stay at this establishment.
