    Communication was not good/confusing. The tours/transfers pricing was particularly unclear and I ended up paying more than I expected to because staff and the guide were breaking it down differently eg it’s x price for the journey but x price for entry, and then other add-ons I didn’t know about :/ would be really helpful to be clearer About this. The room also wasn’t in a good state - sheets did not appear clean and dead insects around the floors etc

    Wonderful setting on a beautiful beach. Not far from airport and most tours/trips are Reasonably accessible. The staff I met, Becky & her cousin, were kind and helpful

    The sea was a bit difficult to get into at lower tide due to the coral but Glen directed us to deeper spot which was better. Dinner could have been more varied but was still good.

    Becky and Glen were absolutely lovely, so helpful when we had an issue as soon as we arrived and great throughout the stay! The bungalows were right by the beach, spacious and had private bathrooms which was a luxury too! Definitely good value for money and really enjoyed! Breakfast was also included, simple but tasty and filling.

    It’s a little bit pricey for a basic accomodation. But still a very good experience

    The location is very beautiful! Just sitting behind a beautiful beach where you will find no other tourists! Just other friendly locals! 😊 Food was fairly cheap and very good. The owners are super nice and will help you out as best as they can!

    We believe that we have asked for the airport pickup arrangement. However, when we arrived there is nobody picking us up. There are other guests arrived on the same flight, that is, both of us expected the pickup but in vain. We hired taxi from the airport by ourselves. When we arrived the bungalow, it takes like 30 minutes before we can have our room. That was not a pleasant first impression for an accommodation.

    The people are friendly. Food from the kitchen quite delicious but only limited choice. The beach is at the front. The location is remote but one can still go to the town by bus or taxi. The cats are cute.

    Nothing much I did not like. It would have been great to have more cold beers in the fridge, I missed eggs at breakfast and to get to the volcano is quite a drive. Though I enjoyed the drive there as I was able to see more of the island.

    The staff were amazingly responsive to queries I had before arrival and continued to be super friendly during the stay. They organised travel logistics for activities and are well informed. Alofa is right at the beach and close to town!

    If you take the bus it’s a bit of a walk to the main road but you can always ask them to call the bus to pass thru the property by the beach side

    It’s close proximity to the beach ; the food and the staff

    First world problems I know, but the shower wasn't very good in our Bungalow, but our friends showers were much better in their bungalows.

    The staff were amazing and so helpful. The meals at dinner time were really delicious and suitably sized and priced. Definitely didn't go hungry! Breakfast was also delicious with plenty to eat.

    Breakfast was okey given that the island was still recovering from the cyclone, hence the lack supply of fresh fruits. However, the bungalows location was superb with the staff who always accommodating to any request.

    More mosquitos than at Whitegrass up the road and fle screens weren't perfect but we didn't get bitten. The geckos did their work.

    Experience the real Tanna away from the upscale resorts

    • Stayed 4 nights

    Our family group initially stayed in bungalows 2 and 3. Bungalow 2: On our first night my wife was awoken by a rat dragging her reading glasses across the floor; later the same evening the rat was found making off with a packet of biscuits. My wife then joined our children in Bungalow 3. We subsequently discovered that rat was living inside the wall lining. Due to the rat issue, my wife and I eventually moved to Bungalow 4 when it became available - but not after the rat had eaten holes through my shorts as I had (foolishly) left a biscuit wrapper in my pockets. The cats that jump on the table during meal times were quite annoying - apparently, they are there to keep the rats out of the kitchen, which makes sense.

    Alofa, as its name suggests, is located on the beach and is near local villages. The accommodation is basic, but has its own special charm. Our local hosts, Glen and his sister, were very kind and helpful. While the menu options were limited, Glen's fried chicken and chips were quite decent. We really enjoyed swimming at the local beach where the locals swim. More luxurious resorts offer more comfort, but we felt we experienced the real Tanna staying at Alofa.

    The new owners are still finding their feet. Check-in was slow, as was the serving of meals in the restaurant.

    The price and location. Right on beach and easy 15 minutes to town.(Lenakel) Good size bungalows, nice beach out the front.

    Great location. Veronika is an excellent cook. The price for transportation to the volcano is 3000 watts less than in the surrounding resorts. Veronika's husband took us to a local village with a Kava tasting and indigenous dancers. I highly recommend.
