Just a couple of minutes walk away from the town!
Comfortable bed and clean rooms with you own bathroom.
The caretaker/manager Monica was a such delight and friendly!
It was a real culture shock arriving on Tongatapu.
It was a real culture shock arriving on Tongatapu. None of the information on the internet is current or correct, and none of the tour operators respond to your requests so it's difficult to lock in activities. We found it easier booking things in person once we arrived. Cash is king. It is also difficult to get around without a car, so would recommend hiring one, but be aware that insurance can be an issue. That said, we had a great time once we worked out some of these quirks! Highly recommend getting off the mainland to a nearby island or for whale watching. The tsunami destroyed most of the resorts on the island so beware that it's not your standard tropical destination.

Meeting julie fonua exceptionally great.
I ate at a restaurant and it was ok.
Not easy to get around but I usally walk around but didnt know my way from there, I have a drivers license but prefer to walk and a map to get around from House of Tonga would have been helpful.
Activities my family had arranged so was pretty booked up but was able to catch up with a friend Reverend Atunaisa & Mangu Ngalu.

Beautiful friendly people, lovely location with interesting sites to see. Escape Cafe is great for eats. Plenty of sites to see...definitely go to Anahulu caves and the Blow Holes. Western tip of the island was not great, but there were some nice beaches on the way (southern coast).

It’s absolutely a developing city.
It’s absolutely a developing city. As the capital of the country, it lacks basic infrastructure. The local people does not have enough cultural life. Young people like to drive cars on the beach road with very loudly music, esp. in the evening to mid night.
General speaking, the local people is kind and polite.

Enjoyed the main market in town

Really loved the Seafood 12 Cafe with their seafood especially the ‘Ota or raw fish and sashimi
Another place to visit is Friends Cafe for Breakfast lunch and early dinner. Unfortunately it’ quite noisy at night with the night club music.
It is easy to get around Nuku’alofa by taxi, public transport or rental vehicles
Swimming pools at Tanoa is always a highlight for kids
The STAFFS with Fiona and team from the front desk, breakfast, room service, Bou and the team at the pool and bar, maintenance, and security. Truly felt the Tongan warmth with them. The ambiance and the fact that their landscaping are veggies and fruits for hotel use is the perfect touch. Location was accessible to everything in town, neighboring villages, and ferries to outer islands.
・The transfer from the airport to the hotel is 50 Tonga paanga.
・If it is 17:00 in the evening, the shower is hot water. At 8:00 a.m., the shower is water.
・I was happy that there was free mineral water.
・Sheets are changed every day. If you are a backpacker, you can sleep in the bed without any problem.
・The staff Ra (woman) is a good person
I was given Room 101 on the ground floor which had a problem with the sliding door and lock. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Sumptuous breakfast provided on the balcony which overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The Billfish restaurant is a short walk from the hotel and serves a good dinner. Also the Friends Café in town serves good food.
I love the location where in the morning when the sunrises you can see it over the beach it's amazing!! I've never experienced that before. I love visiting Tonga and I loved staying in the Emerald Hotel they catered so exceptional. Thank you for your hospitality I do plan on a second trip. Ofa atu
Great location and reasonable price compared to other hotels in the area. The rooms were clean and spacious with a microwave and refrigerator. The staff is very kind and friendly. We had some issues but someone came over and fixed them immediately. Overall, great value for money.
super nice stay in this beautiful colonial house all in wood with a personal touch of the owner Liz in terms of decoration. The kitchen is amazing but the staff even more. Liz even took us for a sunday afternoon tour of the island. Best hotel experience in years. Thank you
Check in was very easy and soon we asked for a ocean view room and they gave us one. Breakfast was very good and dinner was also. Rooms big enough with a nice balcony. Location was very good also, walkable to town with a nice seaside sidwalk in front of the hotel.
This hotel is actually better in person than the photos I had seen. The breakfast was very good with many egg choices. We found the room to be good-sized with good air con. The pool looked wonderful but we did not use it.
Absolutely beautiful property. Rooms well-decorated, plenty of local items of interest. The front office got us a day guide for a reasonable price. The hotel restaurant was very good. Only eight rooms are available.
Its a perfect location ,, awesome atmosphere, clean, good hospitality and services from the owner and the security makes my stay feel more than welcome. I do highly recommend this hotel.
Wonderful hotel for a stay in Tonga. Clean, good comfort and AC. Good pricing. Very friendly staff and they also own a taxi and can give you an island tour.
I did enjoy the buffet breakfast, that was perhaps the highlight. The hotel manager let us check out a couple of hours later which was really nice of them.
