Being handed a drink in a coconut and welcomed onto the island, there is no doubt we arrived off the boat in Paradise. I agree with the last review, don't listen to the negative reviews....we would be extremely hard pressed and very picky to find anything to complain about. Beautiful gardens, private spacious falas winding down a path to a... More

First off, if I were you I would completely disregard the reviews below that whine about children and microwaved food. They are ridiculous and blight a resort that really does deserve an incredible amount of praise. We spent four nights at Fafa, three "official" nights, and one "almost" night since we opted for a late checkout of 12AM as our... More

Let's start with the island, it's little short of a paradise! We wanted to have a break in the sun to chill after some testing times and found this place and were not disappointed with the reflection of reality against the image of the marketing (with one exception that you can read later). The fale was a delight and nothing... More

We have just spent 2 days at Fafa. The staff were very friendly and helpful, food good, accommodation excellent. But weather was bad.....strong winds, cloudy sky and cold. My only complaint would be the size of the ferry boat used for the 45 minute passage to the island. We had winds around 30knts both ways and the journey was uncomfortable... More

Whilst FaFa Island Resort is a mere 30 minutes by boat to the Tonga mainland it is so different it could be in the Caribbean or Mediterranean. The day we arrived in the Kingdom of Tonga the weather was rough and the boat trip out to FaFa was an experience of its own. Once safely on the Island we were... More

They didn't pick us up at the airport and left us there for an hour till we rang and got in a Taxi which we paid for, and only credited our account for the transfer after having explained this 14 times to various staff, the main barman Villi is just short and rude, he's been there 20 years and it...

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of May. It is a beautiful wee island with very well kept tropical gardens. Our fale was lovely, well set up, private and kept very clean by our housekeeper. We loved the partially open bathroom surrounded by tropical gardens. There were a selection of private spots around the... More

Just writing to say a big thank you for looking after us so well on our recent visit to FaFa. We found it a paradise. My wife especially enjoyed her first visit to the Island. This was my 4th visit and best as I was there with Rugby Coaching in 2005, 2007 & 2008. Please pass on a big thank... More
