I like the location of the property and the staff are very friendly and kind. I would strongly recommend to short stay travellers as well as longer stay travellers. If is also convenient and safe. There is a security guard work overnight for the safety of their customers, very important. I would use again. Thank you Simon’s Place. Mālō ‘aupito!

The staff at Simon’s are amazing, very hospitable, friendly and helpful. They are the best source for finding local treasures (shopping, restaurants, activities) and will go out of their way so you enjoy Tonga. Don’t forget to read the floors The restaurant is amazing, you cannot leave without trying the banana split

SImon's Place is two blocks away from the coast, within easy walk of the heart of the shopping area. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. A small hotel rather than a towering complex and rooms have a courtyard complete with clothesline
