Highly recommend staying at Seaview. We had two nights either side of our time in Vava’u . The staff are exceptional, food and cocktails delicious. Definitely our preferred accommodation for our next visit.

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

10/10

Absolutely beautiful suite. Clean. Well decorated. Staff was friendly and communicative when needed. Very helpful in coordinating a late check in. Helped coordinate transfer to the airport. Wonderful view of the ocean.

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.

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.

Nice place. The restaurant isn't open for lunch, but I had some great fish one night for dinner. Staff very helpful.

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.

This was our home away from home for our week’s stay in Tonga whilst visiting our daughter. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. Nothing seemed to be a bother and we felt relaxed and well looked after.

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.

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.

Continental breakfast was merely coffee, toast and jam which for the cost was atrocious. Apart from that a great stay and highly recommended, but avoid the continental breakfast !

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

Was in the kingdom for 4 nights. Spent 2 at Seaview. Seen the good ratings and price wasn’t too bad. Upon entry to property: there’s some confusion as to where the front desk is. Property is located on ocean front across street. Convenient location to downtown. Parking signs need to be better, parking can be confusing but u can park across street… on grass if full. Restaurant and customer service is above average in the kingdom. The room was primarily clean. I felt at peace walking into the air conditioned room. However, the second day i came back, it was off. Anyhow, the room is above standard for any property i stayed at in the kingdom. Bed is super comfortable, i would stay again just for the bed and ocean view and a/c. There was a dead roach underneath the table that I did not notice till the check out day. Roaches are everywhere in the kingdom, but this property does well to keep them under control. The bathroom setup is nice and tidy. The only complaint is the toilet seat was WOBBLY and I didn’t care to request maintenance because i was only there for two nights. If there is one thing this property can fix is their towels: I’ve stayed at hotels worldwide and have never seen or felt the used towels until this property, if you’re going to charge 200TOP or more a night, let’s give customers BLEACH clean WHITE TOWELS and AT least 2x/per room and also, HEAT DRY THE TOWELS, no one wants sun dried crisp towels. Anyhow, I will be back :) that’s all!

10/10

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.
