"This was my second time staying at the Seaview, and it is a beautiful property with great food. The best part is the staff - friendly, service-oriented, problem-solvers, and kind. "T" and the rest of the team are great!"

10/10 Excellent
"An unforgettable 6 days — Paradise First Hotel My wife and I stayed at Paradise First Hotel for six days, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable parts of our whole trip — mostly thanks to the incredible hosts, Latu and Alai. From the start, Latu and her staff went above and beyond. Every morning brought the biggest, most generous breakfast spread. When our taxi ran late one evening, Latu simply drove us to the restaurant herself. She also took us on a full tour of the island, which was such a fun and generous thing to offer, and personally dropped us off and picked us up from our conference each day. She has to be one of the kindest people we've met while travelling. On the Friday night, the hotel put on a Tongan feast for guests, and we ended up sharing dinner and stories with the other people staying there — a lovely, communal touch that made the whole stay feel less like a hotel and more like being welcomed into a home. Adi at reception was also wonderful — warm and helpful throughout our stay. By the end of our time there, we'd gotten to know Latu and Alai well enough to exchange gifts before we left, and we made sure to invite them both to dinner with us later in the trip. If you want a stay that's as much about genuine hospitality as it is about the room, we can't recommend Paradise First Hotel highly enough."

"I would have given the property 10/10 had we received the correct lock box code, and had the owner responded to early communication attempts. As it was, there was a caretaker on site, so my concerns were not a major issue. The property is spacious, well equipped, easy to find, with access to the beach. The caretaker, Tina, was incredibly helpful while unobtrusive. Water, fresh fruit, and the additions in the kitchen were much appreciated."
