This was my second time staying at the Seaview, and it is a beautiful property with great food. The best part is the staff - friendly, service-oriented, problem-solvers, and kind. "T" and the rest of the team are great!

The place is a great option while in Nuku’alofa. Is one of the few places with active restaurant on a Sunday. If you have a Sunday stay, don’t think about it twice. The place is in good shape ànd the beds are king size ànd really comfortable. You can see à bit of the wear and tear over the years but nothing major. Perfect for a short stay while in town.

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 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

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.
