# Current state of Ha'apai, post-cyclone Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tonga
la_fin_du_monde 02:25 UTC 01 Jul 2014 | The Ha'apai region of Tonga was ravaged by Cyclone Ian in January (2014). Can anyone report on the current state of affairs there? Has rebuilding progressed? From what I can gather only the higher-end Sandy Beach resort seems to be operational. Are there any budget/mid-range accommodation options open at the moment (or will be in the next few months)? |

la_fin_du_monde 22:41 UTC 01 Jul 2014 | I'm not sure why the previous poster's helpful comment was removed by the admin. I'll summarize it here without business names for anyone else interested in this info (which is very hard to come by at the moment)... Ha'apai recovering well. Most guesthouses in Pangai are operational. A few places on Uoleva are operational. Guesthouse/dive operator on Foa only running tours, but accommodation should be ready in Sept/Oct. | 2
