Suffice it to say that we left after two hours to go to a real resort nearby, which they suggested as an alternative (😉) and which luckily had a room for us. Of course, since we checked in we lost the right to ask for at least a partial refund. They have many wonderful reviews and decent pictures so we thought the place must be basic but charming. Big mistake, it's simply a scam which doesn't help Samoa's image or economy. Luckily we ended up in a great resort a short drive away (Aga Reef Resort) where we stayed wonderfully and had the vacation we where looking for.

There was confusion amongst the staff upon check-in as to what meals would be included in the half-board that was included in the reservation. The breakfast was very nice, the facility basic but clean and quiet. Very relaxing to wake up next to the sea.

Highly recommend staying here for a simple, relaxing holiday. Nice fale with traditional woven blinds on a beautiful beach. Friendly host, although sad to note some rubbish visible on the beach. Very good family-style breakfast and dinner, self-serve buffet with changing selections each day. (Note: I did not request it, but did not seem to have vegetarian/other dietary options.) Simple facilities, has everything you need for a relaxing stay, but nothing fancy. For those who haven’t stayed in a fale before, I’d let you know that the waves crashing at the beach were quite loud, which is of course expected in this type of accommodation, but would recommend light sleepers get a closed room rather than beach fale.

Beautiful situation but the bathroom facilities here were absolutely disgusting - broken and dirty . On top of which they were having construction work done around the bathrooms so there was no privacy Booked and paid for 4 nights but left after one

Air conditioning in our unit was very much appreciated. We loved the geckos that inhabited our balcony light area. Really enjoyed meeting people at the communal breakfast and at dinner.

Nice place. Fale was clean and safe considering that we had a strong rain and as the weather wasn't so good, we could hear the strong sound of the waves. But felt very safe inside the Fale. Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there. The bathroom could be much better as everything seems a bit left behind. Curtains for the girls' bathroom made me feel like I couldn't get my underwear off as the bathroom can be seen from the street. The floor is poor and could be fixed.

I loved the location of the faleo’os right on the beach. Meals were wholesome and delicious. My only complaint is that we came in late and the resold two of our five prepaid fales. They did set us up in a room in the motel with floor beds because of that but the faleo’os were our preferred option.
