My partner and I travelled to Tonga to meet up as he had just spent a month travelling the pacific. We are both reasonably well travelled and have stayed in both budget and extensive accommodation world wide. And he had the rest of the pacific to compare to. I had been to Fiji before. We knew the reviews for Royal... more

Don't expect 5 star ... but if you want great people (typical pacific islanders), beautiful water, beautiful beaches, time to yourself then this is a great spot. It is only a short boat drive from the capital and unlike many resorts in Tonga easy to get to. Accommodation is good but not great. This is a place where you can... more

We are glad not to have followed the previous comments - I still cannot understand those people problems but everybody cannot have a good time. WE HAD A WONDERFUL HOLIDAYS. We booked a package through Flight Centre - Even if our NZ$ has gone down, those holidays were still cheaper than going to Fiji or Samoa. The Resort is Clean... more

Some cousins and I stayed at Royal Sunset a few years back for quality time and for something different to do in Tonga as we'd been in Nuku'alofa for a few weeks and needed a change. The bungalows are quite standard and were quite clean. I wasn't too impressed by the salt water pool. We went snorkelling near the island... more

We had a week in Tonga and spent the first six nights at an amazing place on the main Island. We thought we would have a bit of a treat for the last night. All I can say is we were grateful it was only one night. The whole resort is run down and falling to bits. Everything is overpriced.... more

We were very disappointed in this resort - it just scrapes in at a 2 star resort. It is so over priced it is embarrasing! The food was so average and crazy prices! one day they spent the whole day fishing right outside the resort so we ordered the fish melt for lunch which cost $25 tongan and we were... more

We spent 4 nights at the Royal Sunset Resort and had mixed expectations about Tonga and the Resort, but were overall pleased with our stay.If you're looking for delux facilities with servant-like service this is not the place for you. It is a very down to earth, friendly and beautiful environment to chill the day away in. Some polarities were... more

You don't always get what you pay for. Royal Sunset Resort was a prime example of this. Our stay started with an unreliable boat transfer from the mainland. The small boat broke down 3 times on our arrival. Not one lifejacket or radio was to be seen. Our journey took one hour, when normally it would be 20 minutes. Our... more
