Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The resort was just as advertised, thanks for the fantastic room upgrade, that really made our holiday comfortable. Freely available kayaks, snorkeling gear and reed shoes were excellent. The staff were all so friendly kind and helpful, no complaints there.
The resort is quite isolated and far from airport and Apia, but the local taxis are affordable and available. Definitely take a taxi from the airport if there is more than one person in your party, very affordable.
Fantastic breakfasts included and until 10.30!!
The Fiafia night was a great experience and the savoury food was delicious.
The restaurant and bar prices are high, as I believe all are on the island. There isn't anywhere close where you can choose to eat. Having said that the food is delicious and plentiful (mostly). There is a shop close by at the To Sua trench where you can get snacks etc at very reasonable prices.
Taxis will take you for an all day hire for around $350WST, so you can see all the sights for a very low cost.
I'd highly recommend Saletoga Sands Resort for your Samoan holiday.

This place is absolutely beautiful and in a great location. The views and beaches made it even more enjoyable. The food at both restaurants was very good quality and we enjoyed the variety. The complimentary buffet breakfast was great too.
The wait staff were lovely and always greeted us with a smile however, we did find that when we dined at the restaurants at the resort, they didn’t come back at all to check if we needed anything (drinks etc) and I felt like I was being a bother when I did manage to get their attention. They were very quick to collect empty plates from the table but were gone before we had a chance to ask for anything else. We had issues with the hot water in our room (we had no hot water), however this was resolved the day after letting reception know. We were unable to get into the safe in our room and were advised only maintenance could open it for us. We were not advised how to change the code and instructions were not included in the booklet in the room.
Our bathroom had a terrible smell when we arrived and it still smelt when we left. Because I have never been to Samoa, I am not sure if this is to be expected due to the heat.
All in all, it was a wonderful holiday and i would choose to stay here again 😊
Wow, the resort is wonderful as were the staff! Was a great, relaxing holiday.
We stayed 5 nights in a hotel room, was nice enough. The hot water in the shower was iffy but other than that it was adequate and good for the price.
Spent the last two nights in an Exclusive Villa, what a difference. The outdoor shower is amazing (always had hot water) and the room was beautiful. Will skip the hotel room and stay there the entire time next time.
The restaurants were great, the food is delicious and decently priced. The Fiafia night food and show are a must do!
We had a fabulous relaxing break… beautiful room and surroundings, good meals and particularly enjoyed barbeque night and nightly cocktails at the landing bar.
Staff were friendly and helpful, lovely pool and beach area.
Only negative was that there was only reasonable internet at the main restaurant and reception but no wifi in the room.
Would love to return 😊
Beautiful well kept gardens, large clean rooms, Samoan staff friendly. Great breakfasts with good variety
Food and drink expensive - especially in the resort shop. No other options, no shops in walking distance. Unfortunately My husband got sick for 24 hours after eating bbq chicken pizza which put a dampener on our stay.
Other than that- was a relaxing stay with beautiful sunsets.
Amazing stay, stunning resort with the most beautiful gardens. Ideal for couples and families. Food at the restaurant was great. Affordable transport to the wharf. Only negative was that wifi is only available at reception and the restaurants.
The property was clean, tidy and well maintained. In fact, immaculate. The beach is beautiful and great for snorkelling and the pool and swim up bar is great but the swim up bar closes too early (4pm). The lighting in the rooms is quite dim and aircon can only be used when in the room (key inserted) which means you’re at square one with creating a cool environment every time you return to your accommodation. Food is okay. I feel like this place is on a journey but definitely in the right direction.
Lovely resort for families, great area if you hire a car to get around, check your bill when checking out, we had another room meal & drinks on our account- overall had a lovely experience in Samoa

Such a wonderful place - a real home away from home. Stunning views and wonderful friendly, caring staff. Will always treasure the memories of my stay here. I was sad to leave, but I look forward to returning one day!
I didn't like the fact that there was a nest of "Fire Ants" in the bed. They changed the bed sheets but not the bed or the room. Had the same problem the next night as well. I got badly bitten.
The staff were very friendly, food and drink were great. Location is amazing being right on the beach but there’s really nothing else around (not a bad thing if you’re prepared for it). No wifi in the rooms which we weren’t expecting and we work remotely so this made things tricky! There was also no data service in our particular room. Otherwise incredible! Snorkelling off the beach was great.
