Cozy and Authentic

I always love returning to the Seaview. It's cozy, comfortable and elegant. That its truly Tongan enhances its charm. It's a wonderful place to stay for a night or longer. The staff are beautiful: Kind, generous and thoughtful.

A beautiful, peaceful spot to relax and have drinks and food. Wi-Fi service brilliant, and room spotless, comfortable and above our expectations. Breakfast slightly limited and confusing, but overall Staff extremely friendly, and tasty food from the restaraunt.

10/10 Exceptional

Had to phone property manager when I arrived and he was a bit rude because I had only booked for one night which wasn't my fault as this is allowed on the website. The owner checked me in and he was polite. Room a bit of a musty smell..needs airing. Also would have been nice to have tea,coffee, milk supplies which is usual in other similar places Ive stayed
Esther, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommend staying at Seaview. We had two nights either side of our time in Vava’u . The staff are exceptional, food and cocktails delicious. Definitely our preferred accommodation for our next visit.
Sally-Nina, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not worth it !!

The only good thing is the views from the room (if you get the sea view ones), the building and rooms are outdated and smelly. They have provided one little soap for the shower in 5 days - they try to cheap out. In addition, some of their staff have an arrogant attitude. For 200+ Euros a night, Won’t come back, better options available in Nuku.
Nicolas Luis, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay in Nuku’alofa because of the Seaview Lodge. Accommodations were great. The best thing about the property what’s the Customer Service we received. I would highly recommend anyone going to Tongatapu to stay at this establishment.
Keala, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

nice hotel with restaurant, good location in walking distance to the centre and very close to the royal palace; we've been upgraded to the suite, which was very nice - spacious, view to the ocean over the street from the big balcony, air-conditioning (in living room and twin bedroom, not in double room), kitchen (but not really equipped); the down side was the included breakfast - only two pieces of toasted bread an a tiny portion of butter and jam (but you can order something else for a surcharge); very nice staff, good wifi, airport transfers possible and convenient

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff, when out of their way to help us with information and advise. Will stay there again.

As expected. Great

Amazing location and impressive property. Ultra helpful staff. One of the finest places to stay
Dan, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

We lived in Tonga 40 years ago and the Seaview was our go-to restaurant for special occasions. They now have accommodation as well so we booked here based on good reviews. The restaurant was still very good, but the accommodation left a lot to be desired. They advertise a “continental” breakfast as included, but apart from juice and coffee, all that you get is 2 slices of toast with butter and a meager quantity of jam. We paid extra for fruit salad, which was okay, but should have been included when we were paying over AU$400 per night. They give you two small bottles of water on arrival but no daily re-supply - again should be included. Our room (201) needs a lot of work - broken shower, loose toilet seat, badly cracked handbasin, safe not working, wardrobe door very hard to slide - bed was comfortable though.

Wonderful staff and Beautiful Rooms.

Absolutely beautiful suite. Clean. Well decorated. Staff was friendly and communicative when needed. Very helpful in coordinating a late check in. Helped coordinate transfer to the airport. Wonderful view of the ocean.

Excellent séjour

Tres beau séjour au Seaview Lodge. Le personnel est accueillant. La chambre était très belle, propre. Les plats servis au restaurant étaient très beaux et bons Le seul petit point négatif : le petit déjeuner. Un petit déjeuner continental qui ne comprend qu'un café/thé et 2 toast avec beurre et confiture... c'est un peu juste.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Loved our suite.
TASHA, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

short 1 night stay

The room was nice and clean and well appointed - however overpriced for the quality. The continental breakfast limited to toast and tea/coffee. Other hotels/resorts offer more such as fruit. Sitting area out the front was lovely. Bar open 7 days and the restaurant closed on Mondays/Tuesdays. Travel to and from the airport all overpriced in Nuku.
Karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, with an easy walk to the markets, and town. Reception staff were lovely and helpful. Rooms were small but comfortable. Restaurant was disappointing, with the complimentary breakfast being just toast, and they had limited options due to them 'running out', when we went there for dinner.

Nice place by the water

Nice place. The restaurant isn't open for lunch, but I had some great fish one night for dinner. Staff very helpful.

Good property in Tonga with a great staff who communicated to us before and during our stay. It’s basic accommodations but they have a bar and restaurant and a five minute walk to town.

10/10 Exceptional

Staff genuinely want you to e joy yourself and will make plans for you to do things. I was staying for a few days on my way to Ha’apai and didn’t have any plans so then arranging things was nice. Lovely patio to enjoy the breeze and the ocean view. The food is delicious. Short walk to town for ATM. Bit much to do there though.

Wonderful place to stay for us for a short visit. Comfortable accommodations. Restaurant on premise, and close to the wharf (short ride) for whale dives. Staff at hotel and restaurant were amazing!
