My sister and I enjoyed our 9 day stay here. Would highly recommend to those who want to be close to town. Friendly and helpful staff. They make the perfect Blue Lagoon. They need a Beyond the Reef cocktail as well. 😂 Overall, I’d give it a 9 out of 10

Close to town, on-site restaurant and bar, large pool, lots of parking. Unfortunately, in one of our rooms the air con smelt musty while showers leak from gaps in glass shower doors. If management fixed those small issues, we would consider staying there again.

Mixed Experience: Some Good, Some Not So

Overall I enjoyed my 4 night stay. The front desk staff are great (especially Ingrid) and I used the hotel's airport transfer which went smoothly both ways. Beds and pillows super comfortable. Clean. The hotel was way too noisy, however. I changed rooms twice and the hotel staff were very responsive to my complaints. However, I just don't think it's okay to have bassy music blaring from the restaurant speakers. The hotel really needs to do some testing of how their sound and PA systems vibrate through guests' rooms. The food at the restaurant was pretty gross. I had fish and chips. The fish was fine but the chips were not fresh but tasted/texture like they'd been reheated. The breakfast was a real let-down too and mostly frustrating: items would remain unreplenished for long periods until I requested more be provided. In a hotel restaurant where there are so many staff knocking about, it's really not good enough to let food run out and leave guests waiting. Another gripe was that on my first morning room cleaners carried around a Bluetooth speaker to play music. The music woke me up - I'd arrived late the previous night and had had two hours sleep. Again, just no sense of how noise affects guests. Finally, bedroom doors should not be left open while rooms are cleaned during the day; mosquitoes enter. I spent an evening catching and killing five mosquitoes which had been let in during the day. I stopped getting my room cleaned because I didn't want to play 'catch the mozzies'.

Amazing stay and service at Lava Lava

We had a great few nights at Lava Lava hotel. The room was comfortable with AC, food was good and reasonable price, but the best part was the service. They helped us with getting to the ferry terminal, and when we had checked out we went back for help with booking a taxi when we missed the bus. They were so so nice and helpful!

Laundry costs $50 tala per load and you can't do it yourself so you have to accept that you will lose items of clothing and gain random other people's washing. The location is great. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful. The price was fairly reasonable. There is a bit of mould in the bathrooms. The fire alarm went off twice during our week long stay for false alarms. The food and drink is all good.

Check in was super easy. The team at Lava are so welcoming! Facilities were amazing. So was the complimentary breakfast. Just be aware that if the elevator breaks down you may need to use the stairs. The team at Lava were quick to remedy this for me so thankful for them! Rooms were amazing. Cleaned daily. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will be back.

The Lava Hotel is lovely place to stay. The Staff is welcoming, accommodating and friendly. The food is delicious. There is live entertainment on certain days. The location is in a village which gives the atmosphere you would want when trying to be absorbed in the Samoan culture. From the island’s warm breeze to its beautiful surroundings, you would be transported to tranquility. I highly recommend this hotel to any travelers looking for authenticity.
