The hotel was only opened in September 2003 and it has a mix of deluxe and super deluxe rooms overlooking Port of Refuge Harbour, a wing on the main street of Neiafu and a backpackers wing. The tongue-twisting Puataukanave means "hibiscus" in Tongan, but locals call this new property simply "Pua's Hotel." The restaurant and a building with 14 of the rooms sit right beside the Port of Refuge in the middle of Neiafu. With their balconies facing the water.
accommodation:
Rooms in this building are worth the extra money. These have gleaming tile floors, white tropical furniture, double beds, desks, and ample bathrooms with glass-enclosed showers. The less expensive economy rooms are in a building to the rear; they have only partial views of the Port of Refuge, and some lack air conditioners. Also here is a wing with both simple rooms and dormitories aimed at backpackers and low-budget divers. These units are devoid of amenities, and none has a view. In other words, they are much less attractive than the airy units at Adventure Backpackers.
