On the island of Pangaimotu where we went for a day trip there are a few beach fales . Its rustic but would be nice for a night or two. There is a rustic main fale overlooking one of the best swimming beaches in Tonga. We didn't stay but went over for lunch and had a look around.

We didn't stay there but we talked to people who did and we had a look at their rooms. The bungalows or fales are built in tradition style and materials and with an open air bathroom . They have a hammock , beach chairs and ceiling fans.They are quite lovely and spa like. Each one is in its own private area with beach front. A couple of nights would be enough for me , and this couple said they were ready to leave after that too . It depends on how much time you need to unwind I think . Its pretty quiet! ACCOMMODATION Single, Double & Twin: $194; Extra Person: $43 MEALPLAN Fullboard Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, free Coffee and Tea, per Person $US65.

by easterntrekker We stayed here for 4 nights. It's a spotlessly clean little hotel run by a german couple. The room was spacious and had a refridgerator , coffe making facilities and AC .I would definitely stay here again. It's a short walk to the main street for restuarants . The restuarant at the hotel is very good but fancy and pricey ,as is the breakfast.
There are books you can trade in the lobby ( always a bonus for those who pack lightly) They will send a driver for airport pickup , $25.00.

by AyurinHiro Located just over the ocean and it has private beach( natural pool).There exist only several cottages,so you can stay as if you were in your own house. This resort is run by an Italian lady--who will receive you warmly. and shi has several cute dogs there. Theme: OtherComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: On the main island 'Tongatapu'. It's about 30 minutes by car from the airport and it's located on the small cliff-from which you can enjoy beautiful ocean view.

 Int'l Dateline Hotel by extremist There was a gift shop, a hair salon and a bar lounge and pool. Maybe a 4 story hotel, very clean. Electrical outlets are differnt then american outlets but the hotel had adapters to purchase. We asked the hotel to do our laundry, and if I remember right it took 3 days to get it back, they are very laid back in Tonga, nothing is done quick. The cheese for grilled cheese sandwichs was goat cheese, white not orange in color. People drank Austrailian and New Zealand beer there. When in the lounge, each of us had our own waiter to cater to our every need, and I believe they don't tip there.

by AyurinHiro Very native bungalows made us very happy. The island has many many beautiful flowers and you can enjoy snorkeling and canoeing. Only 10-15 minutes to walk around the whole island, and only about 10-30 tourists are staying. You can enjoy very comfortable days. Theme: OtherComparison: more expensive than averageDirections: It's on the Fafa island. It takes about 30 minutes from downtown by ship.

 OH, THE ISLANDS... by Lucia_1957 ...I experienced myself, are on islands, more or less far from the main Island of Tongatapu, and far away from any kind of noise or trouble. They can be viewed on the respective pages, as Tonga is formed from three groups of islands:

The Lagoon Lodge. Brand new full size apartments, bedroom and bath are upstairs. Full kitchen and living room downstairs. Phones in each apartment. No T.V. in the units. Full laundry facilities. Pretty quiet location, except for a near by bar that goes full speed most of the night. But if you are a good sleeper, it won't bother you. There are many other lodging choices. Some are thatched huts to the Internationl Dateline Hotel with a restaurant, full bar and pool. We paid $40.00 per night U.S. dollars
The great thing about the Lagoon Lodge is that it is on the lagoon with a great view from any room. No restaurant there, yet. They were planning one in June of this year, 2001. Price is a bit more than staying downtown or on the ocean front. No pool, but the lagoon is great for swimming and fishing. There is a beautiful dock with picnic tables near by. The view is to die for. Theme: MotelComparison: about averageDirections: On the lagoon. Any taxi driver will know where it is. Some of the locals didn't know about it. If you visit the Visitor's Center on Vuna Rd., they should know where it is. Also any travel place in tow
