The resort is the largest locally owned and they have cultural evenings and fire shows which were great. Most of the sites are dotted around the island so it pays to have a car. The people are really lovely and we were very sad to leave at the end of our stay.

Never been to Samoa before, initially loved the location as it’s closer than others to all the activities and has fantastic snorkelling straight off the beach. Staff were super friendly and helpful when we had any questions. Main down side for us was the food was pricey for what you got however they did have some great dishes with the chicken curry, bbq night and cabana cafe during the day with fresh tuna sushi, prawn Vietnamese salad and delicious Cuban panini (again pricier than places outside the resort) best options for food is around Apia which is 50min drive from the resort. Overall we had really great service and experience during our stay, watch out at the end to check your bill as I think sometimes the room number isn’t noted down correctly however if you let them know you didn’t make that order they’ll take off your bill so no real worries there. Shout out to Tia and Loa who helped teach my husband Samoan greetings which we loved practising. Would definitely look to stay here again when we’re next in Samoa

My family had a wonderful stay at this hotel in 3 bedrooms villa for 7 days where the relaxed ambience and tropical vibe made for the perfect getaway. The lush garden surrounding the property added to the serene atmosphere, and the ocean view was absolutely stunning, providing a peaceful backdrop throughout my stay. The service was exceptional—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to make my experience memorable. The food, while delicious, is a bit on the pricier side, but given the quality and the beautiful setting, it’s worth it for a special treat. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature, with a level of service that really makes you feel at home. Highly recommend!

The beauty of the white sand, the waves crashing against the shore, the clearness of the blue water, made this trip so relaxing and serene. It was off season, but the hotel and staff served us well, friendly smiles all around, Mele at the spa worked her magic with my massage and facial, food and drinks offered were tasty and we had a great stay, would definitely come back on a future trip.
