We have just returned home from 9 nights at Tonga Towers and I genuinely haven’t ever been this sad for a holiday to be over - we had the best time. I went with my sister and we stayed in a one bedroom apartment. Such a beautiful room - so much space with a sliding door between the bedroom and the living room area. Spacious bathroom with a powerful shower, plenty of wardrobe space and a big balcony overlooking the pool area. We were on the 13th floor which is high up, it didn’t bother us but maybe one to avoid if you don’t like heights! There are four lifts, sometimes they do take a while if a lot of people are waiting, but not a major issue. The aircon was great in the room/throughout the hotel. We never had to get up early or queue for sun beds - they can’t be reserved and the pool area isn’t open until 8am. There were still plenty of sun beds available later into the morning and in the afternoon too. We tried to stay in the sun but there are plenty in the shade too. The restaurants did get busy at times but we never had to wait for a table - sometimes drinks took a little longer but the restaurant staff work SO hard, they honestly never stop! There was a lot of choice for breakfast, lunch & evening meals - I guess it could get a bit ‘samey’ but this didn’t bother us, managed to find something every day. There were good options for my sister who is vegetarian - lots of fish and salads etc. (not always labelled the best but we worked it out.) We really enjoyed the evening entertainment, whether this was the hotel’s animation team or an external performer - it was different every night and they were all really entertaining. We were so impressed by the hotel’s animation team, doing kids club/various sports and activities all day and then the kids disco in the evening, and then sometimes performing for the adult entertainment at 9:30. They clearly work so hard and are very talented at what they do, we loved it. Our favourites were the Bruno Mars tribute and the movie night! It is very family/children friendly hotel but this didn’t bother us, there is a separate kids pool but the four other pools are big enough that lilos/inflatables etc aren’t a problem. We were all inclusive and as there were only two of us we didn’t have an issue with the two (alcoholic) drinks rule - we could still get soft drinks and water all together etc. The bar staff work so hard and are so friendly - especially on an evening, they are rushed off of their feet and work so hard, they are all so lovely and remembered our drinks order. Something we noticed throughout our whole stay is how hard everybody works, from the cleaners to the bar/restaurant staff & reception - they are all a credit to the hotel. We found the wristbands really useful for unlocking the room, so we didn’t have to remember to take a key out with us. These are also used when ordering drinks. Some really nitpicky things that we spotted but really didn’t affect our lovely stay - it would be u
