Stayed in The Paradise Hotel for 9 nights from August 10-19th 2009. This was 9 nights too long. The hotel was probably once quite nice but lack of maintenance & repairs combined with an extensive fire in 2008 to the reception, restaurant & bar area have left it in a very poor state (see attached photos). Our package included breakfast... More

Arrived with a work group and stayed 2 nights. The hotel is showing its age. Must have been great in its early days but now age has caught up with it. My room had hot water but some of the group did not have hot water and their rooms were musty. They moved to better rooms for the second night.... More

We stayed there for 1 night in late August 2008. Overall we didnt think it was worth the money and would not want to go back. The positivies were: The airport shuttles were included, Breakfast was included (although it was not very nice) and the view from the Harbour view room was fantastic. The negatives were: It was overpriced, the... More

We hadn't hot water in room in spite of two plumbs interventions. The Hotel didn't want to refund something and told us that the bus to airport would be free specially for us. But the airport transfers is complementary for all customers. Thank you for the lied deal.

I stayed here one night as part of an educational for my job as a travel agent. This is a hotel spread out over a hillside overlooking Port Refuge. The reception/public areas are clean and tidy, with tiled floors and plenty of room. There is a pool area and a reasonably large pool that looked a little over chlorinated as... More

This is a great hotel. It shows the signs of aging but the location, view and staff are wonderful. We checked out of the hotel we had originally booked in once a taxi driver told us about this place. The Fijian chefs here were great. This place is what Tonga is all about. We were told they are going to... More

My husband and I needed a place to stay for two nights before our sailing charter began. At the advice of the charter company, we checked into the Paradise Hotel, "the nicest hotel in town". "Nice" is all relative. Our first room was covered in termite droppings. I'm talking about a thick layer on all surfaces. We were moved into... More

This was out third stay at the Paradise over an eight year period and it was nice to be welcomed back by the friendly staff. Bad points - It's an old hotel, built sometime in the 70's so many of the rooms are beginning to show signs of wear and tear. The hotel IS being renovated slowly on a room-by-room... More

We stayed at this hotel since there are not a lot of other choices. The rooms are large, we had a balcony with a great view and there is a dock where you can be picked up directly to go whale watching or diving. The room was clean, had a good sized refrigerator and a good shower. It was about... More

Returned from a one week stay in Vava'u a week ago. Went with a group of divers as a non diver intending to do as much of nothing as possible. I was successful! and enjoyed the down time very much. The Paradise Hotel is set in lovely grounds with views that are magnificent. We had the buffet breakfast which is... More
