A door opened to a large balcony with a view of the lush jungle of 1,100’ Mountain Tonachau.|We ate at their popular cafe/restaurant that opens at 7AM and 5:30PM for dinner with an extensive menu to suit most cultures; many fish preparations, pizzas, hamburgers, tacos and rice dishes.|We walked 850m down the main drag to the excellent Ace Hardware Store(best groceries), then 1.2km farther to the Truk Stop passing all types of small shops, bigger stores and large outfitters. These provide necessities for the fishing fleet and all the islanders coming on numerous shoreline skiffs that live within Chuuk’s large fringe reef.|We were pleased with this friendly 17 room hotel at the quiet end of town which included airport transfers, nice accommodation and 24 hour reception.|On the negative side the elevator was “out of service”, so our 4 story climb...
