I had a relaxing time at Tongan Beach Resort, where the lovely beachfront location and clean, comfortable rooms made my stay enjoyable. The staff was incredibly friendly, especially Moa, who went out of her way to help me retrieve a lost item. However, the beach itself isn't the ideal swimming spot, and occasional power outages were a bit of a hassle. Overall, I found good value for money in this peaceful hideaway.

This resort is a hidden gem with its own private beach and phenomenal food that kept us coming back. While the atmosphere is serene and peaceful, I must mention that the dining staff could be more welcoming. The rooms varied in comfort, and although the restaurant served delicious, fresh meals, the overall cleanliness of the facilities, especially the pool, left something to be desired.

The resort offers a beautiful beachfront location, combined with friendly staff and great snorkeling right outside the bungalows. The food was excellent, particularly the fresh seafood, making for delightful dining experiences. However, there's no in-room Wi-Fi, and the service at times could be a bit slow. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for a relaxing getaway.

We had a lovely stay at this intimate resort with stunning beach views and a very personal touch from the management. The rooms were spacious and clean, perfect for relaxation. Dining was enjoyable, though the menu could use more vegetarian options. The snorkeling off the private beach was a delightful surprise, but we found the Wi-Fi connection to be inconsistent at times.
