Not to be missed, a fabulous night of music, traditional food & Polynesian dancers. Very good, Value for money & great entertainment! Add the ambience of a moonlit night & the dancers performed in a Cave! For me, this was my best night out in Tonga, shared with friends!

Quite an adventure travelling, about 45 mins ride out of town, past the airport, when you arrive you really dont see any beach, walk down a steep walk way that is beautifully lined with bamboo lights, at the bottom you pay an entry fee, the organisation i visited in Tonga met this expense, but the girl tells me its about...

Scenic scenic scenic. Pricey entry to the night festivities but food is worth it. Drinks were annoying to wait for but the atmosphere was invaluable. The staff were helpful and the waterfront was unexpectedly clean. Certainly a must-see when going to Tonga.

Let's get real with the reviews here. These are very rough backpacker thatch fales on a secluded beach in the middle of nowhere. No electricity, but they will turn on the generator for you if you need to charge your electronics. But what a beach, all to yourself most likely. The beach is great, and deserves the raves, but the... More

What a find! From the time we descended the stairs through the rocks and onto the gorgeous sandy white beach we were sold. You would pay loads of money elsewhere to stay in such a breathtaking location! We loved the beachfront fale's (basic but comfortable) and having "room service" on the beach for all our meals (we were the only... More

Woke up right on the beach with beautifully cooked breakfast both mornings! Watched the whales throughout the day, and the staff were quite happy to show me... More

A fantastic budget place to stay on Tongatapu! Originally I had booked Olohei for our last night in Tonga. My reason for doing so was I wanted to end our trip with the infamous Olohei dinner and show. Also it's proximity to the airport meant that it was a good place from which to catch our early morning flight. However,... More

We stayed at Oholei for 5 nights in August 2011, around the time of our anniversary. We would rate this as one of the best holidays we have every had - anywhere! The accomodation is simple, but your front door opens onto a beaufitul white sand beach, and you fall asleep to the sounds of the waves on the reef.... More

Our trip to Tonga in October 2011 required an unexpected stay - unable to fly to Vavau due to weather. No accommodation booked and 15 people requiring food and a place to sleep for two days. The team at Oholei Beach Resort went out of their way to provide accommodation, food and a beautiful introduction to Tonga. The food was... More
