The most well established and largest hotel in Tonga, with a great location on the waterfront just near the heart of Nuku’Alofa - with easy access to restaurants, shops, the central market, the palace and offices. The hotel has a pool and a restaurant, but the menu is very limited and the lobby bar was not open when I was there. My oceanfront room was pretty good, but not that spacious for the high price, there was no comfortable lounge chair and noise drifted up from events downstairs. Staff were friendly and kind - but there need to be more of them to support the high number of guests and functions.

Disappointed and Underdelivered – Not Worth the Price For the price point, Tanoa did not meet the expectations set by its marketing. Upon arrival, there was no assistance with luggage—something you might reasonably expect from a hotel in this category. Check-in was disorganized; I had to ask for my room key, the guys seemed like he wasn’t bothered to explain anything. The room itself left much to be desired. The bed sheets were stained, and several power outlets didn’t work. Amenities were minimal—limited to body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. Towels were never provided proactively; I had to request them daily. On two occasions, I even had to ask for toilet paper. Noise was also a serious issue—one night I was startled awake by a loud argument from a neighboring room due to the paper-thin walls. The in-room TV didn’t work, seemingly relying on internet streaming, yet no basic aerial channels were available. This limited even the simplest in-room entertainment. Breakfast offerings were basic and repetitive—eggs, bacon, tinned spaghetti, fried rice, sausages, bread, and a small fruit selection. I also ordered a coffee from the café that never arrived. There is no room service available, which means guests have no choice but to queue at the restaurant—even just to order a slice of cake. Staff were visibly overwhelmed, trying to meet demand. Pricing was also excessive: $9 for a can of Coke and $23 for a slice of cheesecake. While the experience was disappointing, I believ

My husband and 11 month old daughter checked in only to come in to our room given away. They gave me a credit for food and beverage use only, but did not use f&b as we were only there for one night. If any hotel does this just refund the room rate. Wasted my $350 usd on this hotel, therefor deserved a 1 star.

Relaxing week's stay at Tanoa International Dateline Hotel; loved the mid-winter warmth - along with the friendly Tongan service throughout the hotel. Large rooms, large swimming pool, good wifi, plus a decent breakfast buffet. Not flashy, just comfortable & enjoyable. Hallways are a little noisy/echo at night, FYA

We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff were absolutely wonderful. They were very attentive and very helpful. We were treated like family. Breakfast was great and the food at the restaurant was delicious. We were walking distance to the market and to the dive shop. Thank you everyone at Tanoa!

Disappointed with hotel. For the high room cost I expected good to very good quality experience. Bathroom not properly cleaned in two days (dead cochroaches under vanity unit), cabinet door for refrigerator access wouldn't close properly. Rooms and hallways are tiled making any noise louder. Appears property maintainanxe not high priority.

This property is the best in tonga however to come into a room crawling with small cockroaches was a little dissapointing, the bedding was clean and changed whenever requested, yhe pool was excellent, the breakfast offered variety of choice , with excellent staff
Turtle sanctuary, apperently there were no turtles seen but plenty of plastic bags and bottles, the very thing that kills turtles
The blow holes, well worth visiting, quite clean and tidy area,
View of sunrise from our room window, there was no balcony in these rooms but they did have a great view, no comfortable chair to sit in so i would suggest opt for a room with a balcony
