Hidden Gem With Major Value!
I’m a seasoned visitor to Samoa - seen the good, bad and blah of hotels and accommodations between her two main islands... and I LOVED Ifiele’ele! The accommodations are located a ways inland down a pretty rough road (you won’t want to walk there) but the property is stunning.
The hosts were generous and “upgraded” our booking to the bigger suite since no other guests had booked our dates, and were even willing to let us shift our reservation from sun/mon to mon/tues after some bad weather caused a flight cancellation. We LOVED having the 5-star comfort with the convenience of a well stocked kitchen to prepare our own meals, but the hosts also offer a selection of food items if ordered 24 hours in advance. Staff was friendly and the pool was lovely. AC only in the main bedroom, but the space has lots of sliding doors to enjoy the island breeze. View is spectacular- all the way out to the ocean! The only thing that surprised me was that someone serviced the place during our short stay. We weren’t expecting housekeeping and left for a few hours with our suitcases in complete disarray in the bedroom which was a bit embarrassing when we’d come back to see our things all organized elsewhere. Otherwise extremely friendly and discrete for our private space in close proximity to the owners’ home. We will absolutely stay here again! It was a glorious welcome back to Samoa!
