This place is affordable. Very clean and spacious with a nice breakfast in the morning. Shuttle bus to and from the airport is very convenient for the visitors.The female owner is a very kind person if she sees her guests in town looking lost, she will take them back to the hotel free of charge.It happened to us we were looking for a shop to buy foods etc.We were walking on the road and she saw us from her car. She stopped and took us to the nearest store and waited until we finished shopping and took us back to our hotel.I recommend this place for everyone that wants to go to Tonga. Thank you for the outstanding service. :) :) <3<3

Best place to stay in Tonga! Guaranteed!!!

If you're looking for a clean, quiet, and restful stay in Tonga, this is it!!! Ive been around many hotels and this is by far the best, hands down!!! Latu and her staff will take care of your needs from washing clothes to preparing breakfast with tea Great location to get away from town and even amazing night sky view from the top deck. This is a great place for solo travelers to small company retreats. You wont be disappointed! The hospitality cant be beat! This is my go to place from now on!!!

No hot water, except for one day out of five. The internet was so slow almost to the point of being useless. The staff was extremely nice, same with the owner, and they served a good breakfast. However, the infrastructure needs some updating and there was only one useable outlet in the room, and even that wasn’t in a convenient location.

Paradise Found!! I loved the fact that we were close enough to Town but not in Town!! Latu and family made you feel like you were at home. If you are looking to unwind after a long day? Look no further, super clean and spacious room, shower is aways hot and the staff greets you with a smile no matter what time it maybe. Every morning there is a continental Breakfast that awaits you accompanied by Latu ever so attentive to the needs of her Guest/Family. I never thought when checking out , saying good by was like leaving family!! For anyone looking for more than just a place to stay! Come and experience the Paradise First Hotel. where you are treated just like FAMILY Ofa Lahi Atu!! Tony from Salt Lake City Utah!! I'll Be Back!!

The best place I've been to in the kingdom. Very sweet and respectful staff. They have big breakfast with fresh papaya always. Room is clean and a fan with Aircon is a big plus because it's hot in Tonga. I am enjoying my stay. Next time I come visit Tonga this will be my first choice.

スタッフの教育ができているのか?不安。

夜中に到着のため、空港お迎えを頼んでいたが、1時間待っても来なくてタクシーでホテルに向かった。レセプションの女性に迎えが来なかったことを伝えると、あなた達が出てくるのな遅かったのやでは?と言われたが、私達は前方に座っていたしスーツケースも早く出てきたので出たのはかなり早かった。他のお客さんだけ連れて、先にホテルに戻っていたらしい。ひどいホテル。部屋に入るとあるはずの水もミルクもなかった。次の朝、ないことを伝えるともらえた。責任者のmikaが対応してくれて、無事に滞在できた。

Una casa excelente y súper espaciosa.

Nos ha encantado. Es una casa enorme con habitaciones muy grandes y un salón con terraza enorme. Necesitamos espacio después de estar tres semanas viajando y este hotel era lo que necesitábamos. Latu, la dueña, fue simpatiquísima con nosotros y nos ayudó en todo lo que pudo. Nos hubiera gustado pasar más noches.

Basic hotel with very kind staff

A very basic hotel in Nuku'alofa, Tonga. No frills whatsoever, but extremely kind staff. They can arrange airport pickup or/and a tour around the island. Walking distance from the city center.
