10/10 Excellent
"An unforgettable 6 days — Paradise First Hotel My wife and I stayed at Paradise First Hotel for six days, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable parts of our whole trip — mostly thanks to the incredible hosts, Latu and Alai. From the start, Latu and her staff went above and beyond. Every morning brought the biggest, most generous breakfast spread. When our taxi ran late one evening, Latu simply drove us to the restaurant herself. She also took us on a full tour of the island, which was such a fun and generous thing to offer, and personally dropped us off and picked us up from our conference each day. She has to be one of the kindest people we've met while travelling. On the Friday night, the hotel put on a Tongan feast for guests, and we ended up sharing dinner and stories with the other people staying there — a lovely, communal touch that made the whole stay feel less like a hotel and more like being welcomed into a home. Adi at reception was also wonderful — warm and helpful throughout our stay. By the end of our time there, we'd gotten to know Latu and Alai well enough to exchange gifts before we left, and we made sure to invite them both to dinner with us later in the trip. If you want a stay that's as much about genuine hospitality as it is about the room, we can't recommend Paradise First Hotel highly enough."

"We had a communication with the third-party issue and the hosts were very generously working things out and drove back from their home to open up. The place was nice and spacious and clean. Bathroom and the other hand the shower had a little bit of issue, but I’m pretty sure they will get that taken care of before next guest. Very friendly. We will stay here again."
