Tonga Suites

Tonga Tonga is a building not to many will ever stay in unless they have $680-$3100 a night to spend. This is supposedly a favorite of Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver. As you enter the glass doors etched with bird of paradise you feel very welcome. The hallways are lined with bamboo and there is a lounge and desk area upstairs. Each room is decorated like a tropical bungalow.

Tonga suites got a facelift and the single room that was called Concierge Suite is now the Honeymoon Suite with the two queens removed and a King Bed added as well as a Jacuzzi tub. This room is at the corner next to the King Kamehameha suite and was used as an add-on room. It faces the lagoon looking down the marina. The only other significant change is that the first floor Princess Suite was reconfigured to be completely Handicapped Accessible. Also in 2011 the lounge area for snacks and drinks was some what expanded with more items. In Spring 2012 the lounge will be completely redone to open by Winter 2012.

Pros: All of these rooms are concierge suites and come with all the amenities that the concierge has to offer (see concierge services page). You could have a view of the marina. Most rooms have separate bedrooms, living rooms, and more than one bathroom. It has its own concierge lounge and desk and you have access to the lounge for food offerings over in Hawaii longhouse.

The soaps and lotions (by H2o) that are offered in the rooms are upgraded from what is offered in the rest of the resort.

Cons: The main concierge lounge is located in the Hawaii longhouse. There are only two floors. The rooms facing the south may get noise from the monorail and the south view is not very good. These rooms cost from $680 a night to $3100 a night plus tax and your room tax could be hundreds a night.

There are a few different views and sizes so go to the next few pages to see inside the rooms. Now when you book a suite your reservation will usually say “King Kamehameha Club” but this does not mean you were upgraded to the king Kamehameha suite room. This is just how they designate the Club Level rooms in the suites.

Facts about the real island of Tonga

Tonga's canoes were unique in several ways: they were double canoes, the largest of any in Polynesia up to 100 ft. long and capable of carrying several hundred people. Tonga was also known for their sandalwood and milo wood carvings and tapa cloth from the bark of the paper mulberry tree.

The Honeymoon Suite, located on the first floor on the end towards Aotearoa, use to be an add-on room for the King Kamehameha suite. it is slightly smaller than a standard room (386 sq-ft) but has a view toward the marina. The view is nice but not a view of the castle. The end of Tuvalu just cuts off the view of the castle from this room. You do have a patio to sit out on and enjoy the view. Floorplan to the left is before the remodel. They did a nice job with the update to the room in 2011 and even with the big bed it seems like there is still a lot of room.

This is the only single room that has a king bed and there is no daybed. This room also is priced the same as a Lagoon view concierge room. They added a new Keurig coffee maker which is a nice way to make a hot beverage. Also the suites have upgraded soaps and lotions similar to what is offered at the Grand Floridian.
