Fodor's Expert Review Tanoa Tusitala

Those wishing to stay in the center of town appreciate Tanoa Tusitala for its position near the harbor and the fact that it's set on 15 acres of luxuriant gardens. The hotel's recent renovation treated all 95 rooms to a smart refurbishment; walls and floors are white and contrasted with tropical bedspreads and cushions and polished-timber furniture. The double deluxe rooms with two double beds, a bathroom, and a separate dressing room are perfect for families, and all rooms open onto either a balcony or private patio. The Tamarind restaurant serves meals throughout the day, while the poolside deck bar is a good bet for snacks and pizza. Although a city hotel, the Tanoa has resort facilities, including a swimming pool, children's pool, tennis courts, and free parking.
