Tawali is amazingly positioned on a remote coastal paradise. All the creature comforts you could hope for, comfortable beds, spectacular balconies and amazing activities. Even as a non-diver there was plenty to do and enjoy. Friendly staff and an impressive chef. What a privilege to experience this place! Thank you Tawali.

We stayed at Tawali for 2 1/2 weeks and had a wonderful time. Our bungalow was comfortable and clean and the balcony overlooked the ocean. The communal dining and relaxing areas were excellent and the service terrific. The food was fresh and the cooks used local produce and served a range of options for every meal. They even made cakes for guest birthdays which was a lovely personal touch. The diving was excellent - we were lucky to experience the outer reef, local reefs and muck dives. The dive team ( Charlie, Albert, Alfred, Nathan and John and Greg) are highly experienced and know the dive sites intricately. Tawali is a superb dive resort for novice and experienced divers alike. There are other activities for non- divers and an excellent house reef for snorkellers. We highly recommend Tawali.

Was not able to make it to the hotel due to airline cancellations. Could you please cancel my itinerary, and if I could get a refund?

Visit was eight hours off of a cruise ship with about 27 other people. Beautiful location on the Lee side of the island. Very good snorkeling off their docks which made me think the other locations would have been unbelievably gorgeous. Staff was very helpful and safety conscious. Lunch was delicious… as good as if not better than some of the food we’re getting on seabourn. Skull cave was an interesting side trip… very friendly villagers and beautiful carvings. Kids were a lot of fun.

Was the only guest during their quiet period. Very well looked after by Kathy and team. Food very fantastic and very generously served. Very peaceful location. Snorkelling was absolutely fantastic and Nathan was a helpful guide. Enjoyed the skull caves. Would be very happy to go back, but maybe not in January when I hear the ocean is often choppy.

Stayed at Tawali over the Easter weekend. It as advertised as a 3 night stay but our flight to Alotau was cancelled on Good Friday - so we only got to stay 2 nights. Flight was good - and was picked up by their bus at the Alotau airport - travelled for about 1+ hours to then board a boat to the resort. Was accompanied by an armed guard the whole trip and felt very safe. A lovely warm welcome on arrival and although it was drizzling with rain on the first afternoon -my husband and I ventured for a swim and a snorkel at the home reef. Great visibility and some beautiful fish - really enjoyed the afternoon snorkeling. Drinks and dinner on the deck - food was plentiful and tasty. Met some other travelers and we were entertained by some local dancers. We booked a snorkeling trip the following day along with some other guests - was perfect weather and we explored the coral garden. Magnificent snorkeling. My advice would be to take some money with you - as the locals paddled out selling lovely shells - but I was not able to buy any as I did not take cash (because snorkeling!!). The rooms were adequate - not luxurious by any stretch but we enjoyed the tranquil surroundings -room was serviced daily. Staff were lovely and very helpful. I would definitely go again. I think 2 nights was not enough. You really need minimum of 3 nights to see everything.

Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Resort was excellent and Milne Bay is a stunning area to explore.

The hotel is generally quiet but the air conditioning is very noisy and if you are unlucky enough to come across a neighbor who turns on the air conditioning it has the effect of sleeping next to an old fridge. The meals are very repetitive and of average quality. The rooms are a little austere and shabby. The diving boat is unpleasant: very noisy due to a sluggish engine which emits black smoke and a smell of fuel. It's a real shame for the environment. I also deplore the organization: no pick-up on arrival even though my reservation was confirmed, the manager is hardly present, does not care to know what you want to do and above all does not inform you of anything: diving program or departure time for the airport, for example. Above all, I had the unpleasant experience of poor organization of a bird watching outing with a return 45 minutes late and as a result the cancellation of my diving trip planned on the East coast (in replacement of the nearby dives that I had already done and which I do not wish to do again). On the other hand, the diving team (Albert in particular) is great.
