We stayed two weeks in this beautiful place and loved every minute of it! The bungalows are spacious and have a nice beach view. The food and service were excellent, we in particular enjoied the various lobster dishes. The atmosphere was very relaxed thanks to the management Pat and Paddy. Paddy took us with the resort boat to the Robinson... More

This has to be our best pacific Island holiday todate. We have been back twice now. The accommodation is clean and spacious and right next to a lovely sandy beach. There are coral reefs and tropical fish within 20m of the beach. The food is of a high standard. The outlook is beautiful....its like living on a postcard. We used... More

Hi Roger, I am very happy that Pat and Paddy have obviously done a fine job managing the resort and thank you for reminding me of the spare parts for the Sailing Kajaks. I have just ordered them and will bring them with me upon my return in 2 weeks. Hope to see you again soon and very friendly greetings... More

A great beach, great snorkelling, great food, friendly and helpful staff, lovely views. The trip in the DC3 'casablanca' plane was an unexpected highlight. It took just 3 minutes to disembark, collect our luggage and leave the airport! Such a relaxed and friendly place

We spent 8 wonderful nights at Sandy Beach Resort. Boris and the staff were so welcoming. We loved the intimate feeling of the resort, allowing the guests to visit with each other over dinner and making new friends. They coordinated our overnight stay in Tongatapu prior to our flight to Ha'apai, our domestic flights, and our island tour on Tongatapu... More

Thank you to the owners of this Resort. We only met Boris in the last 2 days we were there. The lady that met us on arrival was just great. Boris made us feel at home in the short time that we met him. The food was good. Dinner was mainly based on fish. The Lobster was great. A couple... More

Great Experience but nothing for people who seek luxury! We stayed there for 9 nights and enjoyed every minute. Making fire, spearing fish and snorkeling were our favorites. Afterwards we relaxed in the Resort - a clean, friendly and quiet place on Foa Island - were you can do nothing but relax on a fantastic beach.

Dear Robinsons, thank you very much for the nice review. May I add a little detail about your itinerary just so readers don't get mixed up... First you spent a few days Sandy Beach Resort and got introduced you "to life as Robinson" and then you were castaways for 9 days on our Robinson Island "Luahoko" and that's where the... More

If you are looking for a totally relaxing holiday where doing nothing is all you want to do, then this is a great place to go. I've traveled to most of the islands and this beach would have... More
