Beautiful resort. Well maintained, rooms were clean and comfy beds. The daily cleaning staff did a fabulous job. Fia Fia night was well worth it, show and food were great. The BBQ buffet was also amazing with stunning salads. Owners were happy to chat with us and were very friendly. Lunch menu was lovely too. The only down side was buffet breakfast food wasn't great and you have to follow up on orders as the staff service at restaurant was a bit average. Overall a fabulous experience and I would love to return.

Out door shower was amazing, the staff were 10/10. Fiafia night was absolutely awesome, unlimited food and the performers were so entertaining even tho they were a small group. The view of the ocean was spectacular. We had booked the jetty for dinner as well, such an awesome experience. Thank you Saletoga for the best stay.

We had a lovely stay here and would absolutely stay again. Great location, close to a lot of the activities we wanted to do, and our villa was clean and well maintained, as was the rest of the resort. The food was decent, we appreciated having breakfast included, and using happy hour to have a few drinks definitely helped save a bit of money. We stayed in the adults only section though the whole resort looked lovely; the only one villa that I wouldn’t want to stay in would be the one facing the restaurant. We had massages at the spa which were lovely. Our only small annoyances were that it rained a bit during our stay (not the resort’s fault!) but when we said there was no umbrella in our room, we weren’t given one. You also have to return pool towels by 6pm each day when we wanted to swim after dinner. Also the hut at the beach to get gear from wasn’t always open when it was supposed to be. But in the grand scheme of things, they weren’t big annoyances. The staff were helpful, the fiafia night was great and we felt very safe and well cared for. Thank you for a great stay, we hope to be back again one day!

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.

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.
