Staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. Accommodations are very nice especially considering how remote it is. Food is quality and on time everyday. Tour guides for whale watching did a great job and were also fun. This place is highly recommended.

Gorgeous setting, the bungalows are beautiful - right on the beach! - and the beds are super comfortable. The staff are really lovely, friendly and helpful and the food is incredible! Decent showers, speedy WiFi around the reception / restaurant. Full use of all the water equipment and bikes were great - spent a few hours cycling round the island, which was beautiful. Perfect for whale season - the ethics shown by the guides and skippers were next level, so impressed. You can sit and see whales breaching from your bungalow, from the restaurant, from the beach. Just stunning!

Spent 12 days at Sandy Beach and had a WONDERFUL time. All of the staff went out of their way to make our stay the best. Great food. Had 3 whale swims, the last day being the ultimate experience with the appearance of an albino baby humpback with its Mum. The guides were very respectful of the whales and very knowledgeable. Thank you Amy, Liv and Bella for our days on the magic waters of Haapai.

What a fabulous island holiday! We were so pleased to arrive in a clean, spacious fale with a king size bed, and only 30 metres or so from a sandy beach. On our first day we snorkelled outside our fale, warm water and a lively reef not far from shore. The staff were friendly and the food fantastic. Nothing was a problem. The highlight was the whale watching. We had two trips booked and swam with the whales on both trips - wow!! There are two neighbouring resorts owned by the same owners, so we walked between each and could eat and drink at both with everything going on our room. There was better snorkelling in the lagoon at the other resort although Sandy Beach was better placed for the south easterly winds. There is good WIFI at both resort lounge areas.

We had a wonderful stay at Sandy Beach Resort on Foa (in Tonga's Ha'apai Island group) on our recent whale swimming trip. The accommodation is very comfortable, well maintained and with direct access to the beach, and the service was friendly, helpful and enthusiastic throughout. Huge kudos to Tim and Zoe for creating a welcoming, family-run feel at the resort even at the peak of whale swimming season. The meals were casual but well cooked and tasty, and we never felt the need to explore the options at the partner resort up the road. Whale swimming was unforgettable, but we also thought the quality of snorkelling on the house reef and nearby was excellent, and we would happily return even outside of whale season for a relaxing break in paradise.

Awesome location, staff are amazing and go the extra mile with a smile. Relaxing. Limited wifi so you have to disconnect. It’s fabulous. Food, fabulous. Warm ocean. Great snorkelling. The area is basic and it’s the best. You are coming here to totally relax and go back in time, with a smile.

Had a blissful week staying at Sandy Beach resort. The beachfront fales are very clean with wonderful verandahs and utterly beachfront. The view of the bay each morning was stunning, as were the sunsets. Being able to lie in bed and glimpse whales out in the ocean in the morning was magical. Swimming throughout the day whenever it was desired was instantly relaxing. The resort was peaceful, and nestled in beautiful gardens. The kind and friendly staff were warm, welcoming, and amazingly accommodating. The three course dinners were of an extremely high quality, beautifully prepared, and I was so touched by the effort made by the chef to accommodate my dietary needs. We saw whales every morning in the breakfast area, and the cooked breakfast was very sustaining. Thank you to Tim and the team for a very special restorative, and restful stay that ticked all the boxes! -Nicki

We had a wonderful relaxing week staying at Sandy Beach Resort. The kitchen in Sandy Beach was closed as it’s off season but we took all of our meals in the sister resort of Matafona Lodge. Food was excellent and it was good casual dining at a large communal table where you got chance to catch up with other guests. Thanks Darren for adapting your daily menus to my strange dietary needs. We did 8 Dives with the resort led by Darren and the lovely Lilly Captaining the boat. I learnt so much about the local Macro from Darren. Plus it was refreshing to see a dive center so focused on the safety of customers. All in all we had a restful and relaxed time at the resort and would like to thank Darren, Nina and all of the team making our experience so memorable.

Just spent 8 nights at Sandy Beach, what a wonderful place for a holiday, the staff are brilliant, happy and helpful at all times. The Fale was perfect, going to sleep listening to the water lapping onto the sand is always delightful. Jake the chef did a super job with yummy dinners every night, amazing considering the remoteness of this location. Swimming with the humpback whales is an experience of life time, made all the better by informative guides who really knew their stuff.
