Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Zuerst einmal die guten Sachen, auch wenn es wenige sind: Die Lobby und der Poolbereich sind wunderschön und die meisten Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück ist in Ordnung. Jetzt zu den negativen Erlebnissen, die der Hauptgrund für diese Bewertung sind: Die Zimmer sind zwar in Ordnung eingerichtet aber sehr abgenutzt und bei unserem ersten Zimmer waren Türklinke und Wasserhahn locker. Der Fernseher hat wenn er benutzt wurde Pixelfehler und flackern im Bild gehabt. Das Betttuch war zu kurz und reichte nicht ganz am Fußende über die Matratze. Nach der ersten Nacht stellten wir an unseren Händen und Füßen blasenartige und juckende Flecken fest. Als wir uns auf die Suche nach der Ursache machten, fanden wir eine lebendige Bettwanze im Bett. Wir benachrichtigten sofort das Personal, die uns anboten einen „Deepclean“ des Zimmers vorzunehmen aber wir verlangten einen Zimmerwechsel und bekamen diesen auch. Uns wurde deshalb außerdem angeboten die Wäsche kostenlos waschen zu lassen. Dies nahmen wir auch in Anspruch. Wir ließen uns an der Rezeption am dritten Abend einen Tisch im Restaurant reservieren, als wir ankamen wusste niemand Bescheid und wir wurden von der Kellnerin relativ unfreundlich behandelt als ob wir einen Fehler gemacht hätten. Bei der Abreise wollte die Rezeptionistin uns dann auf einmal noch die Wäsche berechnen, die wir wegen der Bettwanzen kostenlos gewaschen bekommen sollten. Leider die schlechteste Erfahrung unserer ganzen Reise und dafür viel zu teuer!

Overall very nice. Friendly staff but front desk at times was unmanned. Other than the towel rack there was no place in bathroom to hang anything. Unable to lower A/C temperature below a set level.

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

Nice stay in Apia. Nice bar, eating area overlooking the pool. Pool area pretty quiet so was enjoyable to relax and go for a swim to cool off! Hotel room was comfortable. Nice beds and pillows for good nights sleep! Aircon was much needed and appreciated. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our only downside of the stay was eating in the restaurant. We only ate dinner there once but starters and mains were brought out together, and the mains (fish & chips) were already cold. We ended up having to send it back as it wasn't nice. The staff did then serve up a fresh dish which was appreciated. Overall a really nice stay!

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were wonderful, the breakfast buffett was lovely and our room was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The only advice I have for management is to ensure the WIFI is fast with no buffering from all rooms. However this was not a major issue for us. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly for young couples and business travelers.
