Liked: Cleanliness
Buffet breakfasts were great. Rooms were clean. Our rooms were in a construction area of the resort. A few staff were happy and cheerful but many seemed down and intolerant of guests (we experienced a few staff members snatch menus from us after we ordered and expressing attitude towards us for just ordering drinks (without food) for afternoon tea). The meals and drinks are quite expensive and in smaller portions when compared to other resorts in Samoa. Our room had a TV and DVD player that didn't work and wasn't fixed during our stay (even after asking reception). We had some extra meals added on our tab when checking out (luckily reception sorted this out with us). The resort is close to the Sua Trench and Turtle Island.

Great location, rooms were of a high standard. Food was overall pretty good, just some issues with consistency from one night to the next. Same goes for the cocktails. Staff were very friendly and accomodating across the resort and made our family feel very welcome. Would definitely stay again!

I would stay here again. There's a few things that could be improved but the price is so cheap that it's hard to complain. Wi-Fi in the room would be great but the rooms are amazing... or rather the view and the environment . If your bungalow isn't on the ocean you can pull up a chair and sit right out in front of the ocean. Ideal for people who want to read a book or  do very little. They have a vegetarian menu which is great. The breakfast buffet isn't anything amazing but if you're flying to Samoa for a breakfast buffet probably should just stay home. We rented one of the hotel cars and drove around the island which was perfect.

Wonderful staff with kind and relaxing demeanor, clean facilities and rooms, immaculate outdoor spaces. Only reason for four out of five (and this might have been just an off season thing) the pool bar was unmanned randomly part of the time and 4out of five dinners lost something in translation between order and delivery. But still a very enchanting retreat for those just looking to relax in the tropics with infinite kindness, numerous exploratory opportunities and very nice water.

Clean rooms, attentive staff and excellent grounds keepers, very hard workers. The staff at the day spa were exceptional, fantastic massage. Its remote location forced you to relax and enjoy your surroundings. My only piece of advice would be to extend wifi access to the rooms instead of just the reception and restaurant area. Overall, good stay.
Used the outdoor shower a lot as it was so hot during our stay.

Absolutely loved our stay! Saletoga is such a beautiful resort - perfect for both adults and families. Our rooms were spotless, and housekeeping came by every morning to refresh everything with clean towels and toiletries. The vibe was amazing, the staff were so friendly, and the resort had every amenity you could possibly want for a relaxing holiday. We stayed right on the beachfront, and the rest of our family was spread across the family section and the garden villas - all the rooms were huge and absolutely stunning. We were there for 5 days with a big group celebrating our uncle’s birthday, and it honestly couldn’t have been a better place for a family celebration. This is hands down my favourite place we've stayed in Samoa - and we've stayed at both Sheratons, Tanoa, Taumeasina, Coconuts, and a few of the smaller resorts. Saletoga tops them all! Thank you, Saletoga, for an unforgettable holiday. We’re already excited to come back!
