I stayed at Tawali over Christmas 2011 with my partner. We had a fantastic time. It takes a bit to get there, a flight from Port Moresby, a 2 hour car ride then a 15 minute small boat ride, but it was a fun trip one I didn’t mind. The place itself is amazing! Very beautiful scenery and the fact... More

My wife and I recently returned from spending over a week in Papua New Guinea and really enjoyed staying at Tawali. The staff, and in particular the manager Noel, were outstanding. You just really felt everyone was going out of their way to help you out and make staying so far from home completely enjoyable. By and large this is... More

A few of us were in Port Moresby on business, and decided to get away from the capital city for the long weekend of PNG's Independence Day. Air Niugini's office help make both the air ticket and hotel booking. It was a last minute decision, and we were very lucky to get on the flight to Alotau which was full.... More

The remote location on Milne Bay makes getting there a bit of an ordeal but it is SO worth the effort. The staff where friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The food was pentiful. I doubt you would be able to find better diving or dive staff anywhere. The dive briefs were clear and realistic. The DMs... More

I traveled to Tawali Resort after a wonderful wedding in which I was the maid of honor of Elsie and Kieran. It was quiet and peaceful, which I took full advantage of, but the diving was incredible! Coming from Belize I was pleasantly surprised to see such colors and diversity of fish. The rooms and the view overlooking the sea... More

Just back from Tawali Papua New Guinea. After very bad experience with Airlines PNG (do yourself a favor and book Air Niugini) we finally made it to Tawali. Bad weather but a very warm welcome. The staff at the resort is just GREAT! Let’s start with all the positives. It is a very unique place with a high level of... More

We had a wonderful time here, so much to do. The snorkelling was brilliant and our son enjoyed the diving. Meals were excellent. It was good to go on a walk through the rain forest through local villages and visit a school. We met so many families and really saw the way of life. It is an interesting journey getting... More

If you want a luxury stop in your adventure holiday you probably can’t do better than Tawali. The American owners and their new managers were excellent to the point of trying too hard. Our room’s deck had a view of the ocean. The bathrooms were large and modern. The room had air conditioning (remarkable for a country dependent on diesel... More

The resort is an outstanding accomplishment. It is totally remote -- accessible only by a long drive followed by a boat -- and yet it is completely up to western standards in terms of luxury, comfort, and cleanliness. And the diving is spectacular ... among the healthiest reefs I have ever dived (I have dived all over the world). Guests... More
