AmazIng location, stunning views, this hotel sits on a private beach. I liked the beautiful rooms interior and private decks, 3 pools and different places as to choose for breakfast, lunch or dinner with shows and dances on occasions. Staff is friendly, trying to make you feel well all the time with a big smile on their faces, girls a nice flowers on their hair. . I just was a bit disappointed not finding a fresh coffee included for breakfast, missing a more consistent items like bread other than white, cheese, tropical fruits usually found on 4 stars hotels.

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
