Hotel berhampiran National University of Samoa di Apia

The facility was clean and modern, but the shower didn't drain fully leaving a slippery puddle away from the drain hole. Housekeeping wasn't consistent. On separate occasions the mirror was left wet, the bins unemptied, the towel unchanged and the bed not made up properly. The programmable safe didn't open once locked, and the key card had to be reprogrammed to give access to the room. Once, while resting in my room in the early afternoon, someone tried to enter my room but the latch stopped them. I quickly checked outside, thinking it might have been housekeeping, but no one was there except someone - a burly obese island man in singlet, shorts and jandals - walking quickly around the corner. I believe it was another guest who'd somehow gained access to electronic access cards, and who was raiding other guest's rooms. It was after that incident that my key card failed to work, and I had to visit reception to get it reprogrammed. The staff were generally courteous and kind, but really only going through the motions to fulfil their role. No one stood out as loving the work they do. The egg station couldn't make poached egg. That had to come from the kitchen, and they had to boil the water first and it was an inordinately long wait. In a previous visit to Samoa, at a hotel in Savai'i, the egg station had a pan with simmering water for poached eggs, and they delivered poached eggs as quickly as any other style of egg. I visited other hotels for events around Apia on this visit. I'm now open to staying at other hotels after this visit.

This hotel was like a lovely backpackers for grown ups and we enjoyed this. The rooms were clean, functional and had all of the facilities needed. Although a little small this was OK. We stayed in room 8 downstairs. It was value for money. I really liked the outdoor dining area near the pool as it was a friendly place to talk to other travelers and share stories. The gardens were stunning. The location was good as only 5 minutes drive to the city centre and on the Cross Island Road for the day we went to Robert Louis Stevenson's house and gardens. Apia is not a big city. There was space for 5 cars in the car park and 2 on the street and this was Ok as there was always parking available for us. I bought a local sim card at the airport on arrival and this was handy as I could use my maps app on my phone for us to find our way around. The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfasts were colorful, creative and something for everyone as they were served on a tray with a bit of everything with different items each morning. We had some laundry done and it was ready within half a day. The TV did not work due to a signal connection error. The air con worked well. The shower was hot which I like. Their was a shelf in the bathroom to put your products which was very handy. Hotels should supply places to put your stuff. They asked you take off your shoes when walking in the reception area which was a pain as my shoes were clean and I feel there is a fungal infection risk walking around bare footed. There were stones outside and they were rough on bare feet if needed to nip between the reception and the downstairs. I think they should make this optional.

The staff were amazing and the deck overlooking the water is definitely a highlight. We stayed in 3 different rooms - lily pond, garden villa and beach side villa. The garden villas were poorly maintained and in need of some love (TVs not working, air con not working, shower head missing, insecure door locks) the other 2 were better maintained but could also do with some TLC as could the pool. Lots of positives but attention to detail with things like milk for tea and coffee and 24 hour access to drinking water, consistent shampoo and conditioner in each room (some had none some 1 of each and others 2). Great location and a comfy enough base - the staff made the whole experience.

We just spent a wonderful week at this Samoan owned resort and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had a beachfront room, which was quite large and had two lovely recliner chairs, comfy bed, and a very large bathroom. The resort is quite large, though there weren’t many people there, unfortunately. The beachfront is gorgeous with a lovely swimming area, though not good to swim at high tide, which was when we used one of the 3 the pools. Two places to eat at night, our fav was the Rockpool Bar with a view over the rocks, ocean and great sunsets, a reasonable menu though not lots of veges. There was an absolutely stand out show on Saturday night with the Maeve String band cultural group that you won’t want to miss! Wednesday night is Fia Fia Night which was another wonderful night to attend. Thursday night is the Return to Paradise Movie, where you learn more about the movie being made where the resort now stands, the actors snd more importantly about the Samoans who were in the movie. The $10 per person is given to the village medical fund so well worth the effort. We took school supplies, which are needed as wages are poor and schools receive very little support. Unfortunately we couldn’t bust the school but we’re happy to leave them for the resort to get to the local school. This resort was the second one in our two week visit, and we can say the staff here were amazing. Friendly, efficient and made you really feel like you were home. In fact they liked a joke with you, which we liked. The resort owners, Ramona and her son Raz were up front and mingled with guests. If there was something I felt could be a bonus would be a handrail into one of the pools, as difficult to get into if you had any disability. This wasn’t only at this resort though, as the other resort we stayed at didn’t have rails either. If you do have mobility issue however the rest of the resort has ramps everywhere! That was wonderful. Even a wheelchair if needed. If going we suggest hiring a car to get around to fill in time or get to many great spots, like the clams and turtles close to the resort, the many Waterfalls, Apia Town, Trench, other beaches etc. Tours can add up! We didn’t and regretted it. The island however isn’t somewhere you’d venture if you have mobility issues on the whole. Waterfalls , most beaches have Rocky outcrops to clamber over for snorkelling, ladders into the trench and the Piualla. Caves as well as Apia are not for the faint of heart or designed for people with mobility issues. Something to think about as it can certainly limit what you do. Thoroughly recommend the resort and glad we had the opportunity to visit Samoa, swim in the crystal clear water of the resorts Sandy beachfront and meet wonderful people. Thank you Ramona, Raz and all the wonderful family and staff who are part of your resort.

What a genuinely fabulous place. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the service is excellent, the staff friendly but not intrusive and they get to know you by name. The resort feels small and intimate with a lovely pool area and beachfront. The restaurant food is also excellent. I can also highly recommend the quality of the spa treatments, which take place in little huts open to the breeze and the sound of the ocean; how fabulously relaxing. There is no free Wifi but you can pay for mobile WiFi at a reasonable cost which works well. What made the visit for me though was that the owners genuinely care about their guests. I had issues with a broken mobile phone when I was there and they could not have been kinder, recommending someone who could fix it and arranging lifts into town for me to see to it. I genuinely don't know what I'd have done without their kindness. It's a gem of a place and I highly recommend staying there.

The worst accommodation experience we had during our entire visit to Samoa. Please do not book with them. Prior to booking, I checked the bad reviews and spotted a few that had me in two minds. However, I proceeded to book it due to the photos, location, advertising, price and the good reviews. We had booked a 'deluxe suite'. Well we arrived at 1030pm after a late flight in, was shown to our room by one of the cuzzys of the accommodation. We walked into a 1 double bed, 1 towel, stinky as all s@@t bathroom not to mention how dirty it was. So I gave it all a quick clean, went to the toilet...the toilet moved from under me as the whole bloody seat was broken. There wasn't alot we could do, so my partner 6ft4, my son and I all shared the bed and towel the next morning. Unfortunately, I had booked our final 3 nights there, long story short we had asked for a refund...we were told they would not charge for the first night and would discount it off the other 3 nights. To their defence, they apologized for the 'mishap', however we wanted a full refund of the other 3 nights as we did not want to come back....another long story short...we have been told that there will be no refund. We are staying at another hotel, while paying for moatoga. I'm so ropeable,don't do it to yourselves. It's a dive! I wish I had taken photos!
