トンガタプ島のアパートスタイルホテル

"シンプルで良い"

"As it was my first trip to Tonga, I contacted the hotel in advance for the Airport Shuttle Service which was 100 TOP for a round trip. Despite the return trip being at 2am, the driver was punctual.The payment would be in cash and the host informed me that there was an ATM at the airport. The hotel was a little way out from the downtown, but on the first day, someone was driving back into town and kindly gave me a lift. To return, a restaurant called me a taxi and I paid 10 TOP On the second day, a female owner Latu called the diving shop for the delayed pick-up and in the end kindly drove me there. Actually, there was another hotel called Paradise Hotel, and if Latu hadn't sent me, I nearly missed the whale swim. While I was waiting for pick-up, Latu also booked for the dinner with Tonga Dance Show that night with transportation. Latu and her husband also made an island tour for me and my friend on the following day at an affordable price. The tour was great! They took us all over the island telling the history of Tonga, stopping at various tourist points and we also swam inside the limestone cave. The only issue was that the hot shower was broken, but they changed my room on the second day.The room was very spacious with a king bed. Every morning there were sandwiches, fruits like papaya and pineapple. When I was at the hotel at night, Latu prepared some foods. The host was very considarate and competent so I really recommend to stay there! Thank you for everythig"

"Overall, I do not recommend this hotel for your stay. Yes, ocean view is wonderful. That's all. Other points are not worth with its price. You should check other hotels, even if this hotel is cheaper than others. It is clean, but equipments are old enough. This hotel seems to be owned by Chinese, there are many items from China, including restaurant. Breakfast is toast with butter and jam, boiled egg, fruits, coffee/tea: too simple for the price. You should not order taxi from front: (one of )the driver seems to be a relative of receptionist, not a taxi driver. It costs 70 TOP, seems higher than usual taxi fee. The driver always use one's cellphone, sometimes without holding steering! When we arrived at the airport, the driver said nothing (such as "here we are" "thank you" "see you") and doesn't get out of the car to help luggages; just received money. "

"I really enjoyed the breakfast, and the staff were very flexible and helpful, which made my stay very satisfying."
