Whales at breakfast (July 2018)
This resort is in a gorgeous location - we saw a whale and calf pass close by whilst at breakfast. Easy to kayak and snorkel off the beach, excellent food and delightful staff. Highly recommended if you are looking for the perfect place to relax and enjoy a sunset cocktail in an authentic Tongan setting - distant church singing, roosters crowing and the occasional pig passing by.

A booking mix up meant that we were booked into the resort even though it was still closed for refurbishment (the rooms were finished, but not the restaurant, bar and other common areas). The owners, Shane and Helen, learnt of this mix up only the day before we were due to check in, and tracked us down in Vava'u (no easy feat). As an alternative, we were put up in the Boathouse Apartments in town, and someone from the resort drove us out every day. We were given the use of a room at the resort with access to the beach, and then were driven back to town every afternoon. So while it wasn't what we had planned, Shane and Helen did everything in their power to ensure we had a lovely stay.

Great Beach and Snorkeling
The highlight was the snorkeling trip to the Japanese Gardens and Swallow-Tail cave. A must do. The food at this resort was excellent. The Vava'u pineapple is the best in Tonga.

良かったです
部屋はビーチフロントで蚊も少なく快適に過ごせました。またビーチからは鯨のジャンプなども見えとても感激しました。 良かった点は、部屋にエアコンもあって暑くても快適、清掃もきっちりされて清潔、食事が美味しい、ホテルのビーチに桟橋があってツアーボート利用に便利。改善点は、Ｗｉｆｉはロビーだけで部屋で使えないのがとても不便、広いバスルームにバスタブが欲しい、飲料水は到着時にありましたが毎日補充して欲しい。
