Nuku Alofa hotels

Keeping in mind that this hotel is in Tonga, which is not a negative, but different to many other places: It was relatively expensive compared to most other places in Nuku'alofa and a 3 km walk from town, but with a pleasant view. The hotel has a real Tongan feel and the dining room is really something to see. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and polite. There was no hot water on either of the nights we stayed, but this is not unusual in Tonga and didn't spoil our stay. We ate there three times. Once for dinner when we had delicious and huge serves of swordfish and twice for continental breakfast which was included and very nice.

I was having a short break in Tonga (3 nights) and have stayed at the Seaview Lodge. My room, 302, was in the annex and was very well appointed, had a good selection of mini-bar items (although, this isn't something I use), an in-room safe, very comfortable bed, tasteful decor, wi-fi, and a TV with 20 channels (including two for sport). The shower room was clean and damp free, which is quite an achievement in the South Pacific, with fresh towels daily. The shower (whether you wanted hot, warm or cold), was very powerful and quite invigorating - again, somewhat of a rare find in these parts. Breakfast is served daily in the restaurant, which is also open every night, except Saturday and it serves the best food on the Island. My Hosts, Franz and Gudrun made me feel very welcome, as did the local staff servicing the rooms and waiting in the restaurant. Airport transfers are conveniently arranged and are charged to you bill, with no nasty surcharge. My three days at the Seaview were relaxing and it could be described as a home away from home. I look forward to going back again.
