Been a while since I was there, great memories of super clear water watching the fish swim around me. Being near a shipwreck makes it a different experience. As many others have said we popped over here on a Sunday to get a beer, considered staying but had accommodation already on the mainland, would stay next time

.......I would definitely not want to stay in the little huts. We visited on a weekday so had the entire island to ourselves. The setting is just lovely and the swimming really good. The food is just about ok - basically fish and chips, burger and chips etc. Service only just ok but the setting was simply lovely. When we... More

As one of the few places to have lunch at on Sunday, we made the fifteen minute trip to the resort for lunch. And lunch was the only highlight, it was inexpense and nice. However, the fact that the venue is in bad repair, building standards dodgy and a walk only a few steps from the actual resturant revealed a... More

Running, fishing and swimming at the waterfront are banned by law on Sunday in Tonga. Luckily, the ferry to Pangaimotu Island does run and this is a popular Sunday trip for tourists and locals. We chose to visit on a Saturday, when it is less busy. We got the 10am ferry and paid our fare on arrival at the island.... More

This is one of the best beach locations I have been too. A safe swimming beach surrounds a great restaurant and bar with lots to do. We were advised to go there on a Sunday as everything in Nuku'alofa was closed. All was well until it came to the Fale's we spent the night in. I am all for experiencing... More

We decided on a day trip first to learn about the Island, it's people and to have lunch. We pretty much made up our mind to go back the next day to stay (4 nights), as soon as we met Big Mama and her family. They happily accommodated all 6 of us in one fale which was fine. Later the... More

We arrived on the island in glorious sunshine after escaping less than average accommodation and facilities elsewhere. Big Mama(the owner) was very honest and upfront about the rat problem(when you dump your rubbish in a pile in the middle of the island its bound to happen!) but we decided to risk it(and it was too late to leave!) We are... More

I came to Tonga with my boyfriend last month to visit my relatives. Not wanting to be around auntie Vea's house 24/7 (Don't get me wrong. I love my folks to death, but keep in mind I'm American) I decided to look into resorts on the island. "Go to Pangaimotu, oh-so veddy nice. Faka'ofa'ofa aupito!" my uncle assured me. I... More

Indeed the rat problem has been fixed and everything is well now at the Island Resort. The blocking of bringing food in to the resort and the rubber settings between the floor and the wall has taken care of the rats. But this has obviously had an effect on the price you would be spending on your food. We did... More
