This was a beautiful and peaceful property. It’s not spotless like a resort, but it is wonderful and comfortable. The staff is phenomenal and so helpful for all your needs. They called me so many taxis and helped make sure they would come (often calling them again). I stayed in the Fale, and it’s such a cool experience. It’s definitely more like camping, but it’s unique and fun. Make sure to bring an extension cord because the power outlets are on the ceiling in the fales.

Not a 3 star hotel. More like a 1 star

We stayed here because it was closer to the hospital. The room was clean. The shared bathrooms were dirty and one of the shower locks didn't work. I was uncomfortable when I tried to enter the ladies shower and there was a man using the general sink in the small entryway. It shows it being a 3 star hotel but it was more a 1 star hotel. Different regions in the world should have different star rating charts. They have a weird policy of not wearing shoes in the place. You leave them at the front entrance. I get their point of keeping the house clean but it's so different from most hotels. It would have been ok if I had socks to wear around. I absolutely recommend inside shoes and shower shoes. The shared fridge in the kitchen was dirty as well. I don't feel comfortable leaving my food in there. The first lady that checked us in was somewhat rude but the rest of the staff were very kind and friendly. The history of the place is very interesting. I think it needs to be a museum. I wouldn't stay here again nor recommend this place taking into account the cost per night and the experience I had.

It was excellent. We arrived on a Sunday which is when most stores in Samoa are closed, however the hotel held our bags and provided excellent information on where to go and what would be open. Pool was nice and room was good.

Had a fantastic time. Reception manned 24hrs and all the staff were very helpful and answered any questions we had. Breakfast was delicious, different every day including local dishes. Room was nice and cool, had a fridge to keep drinks cold and kettle to make tea or coffee. TV had a choice of channels. Room cleaned daily. Had a patio to sit outside with chairs and table. Also could sit by or swim in pool.
