Great location. Awesome beach and maybe the best snorkelling in Savai'i. Nice rooms, a bit dated now. Average food. The immediate area outside the hotel is a bit desolate. The only negative feature was the unpleasant, frumpy middle aged woman who checked us in. Our tour guide had arranged a room upgrade but she refused to honour it. She acted... More

We love this place, we had our family re-union there and it was amazing!!! The place is very nice, the location, the foods and the price plus their staffs are very friendly. Rooms are clean & very comfortable because they have aircon and fans as well. The foods are very yummy especially the Samoan foods: vaisalo, supoesi etc very nice!!... More

Just back from my 4th visit to Vaisala Beach Resort, and can't wait to go back. We stayed nine days this time, which is unusual as most people seem to be 1 or 2 nights. Yes, it is run down. Yes, the food is very basic, and the service can be a bit patchy. BUT for the price and location... More

I love this place. The rooms overhang an absolutely beautiful cove and beach. It invites you to snorkel. The rooms are clean and have porches over the beach, air conditioning, bathrooms with showers, really everything you could want. It is far from the busy town of Apia, on the far side of the "big Island" Savaii. The food is fine;... More

I stayed here 2 nights recently with a friend at the end of our 2 week stay in Samoa. I just loved it! The room was large and the beds were comfy, not to mention the fabulous view and the private beach. We couldn't fault the service. There was hot water (which is rare in Samoa at this price) and...

We checked out of the hotel after only one night. The shower in the bathroom did not really work and the toilet was leaking. We had asked for a different room but they did not even accommodate us. We had 3 small children and we needed to make sure there was running water in the shower. The site for this... More

This hotel has a wonderful location. It is secluded, beautiful surroundings and a great white sandy beach to swim and laze about on. It has a really nice charm about it, but sadly it is let down somewhat by its run down state and poor quality of food (though breakfast was lovely and looking out from the balcony over the... More

This large hotel is designed like a school camp - so it might be better experienced as part of a big group. We were there on our own and enjoyed the lovely beach - which was deceptively rough, the surges dumping us under even in knee-deep water. The food was basic but ok. The staff were friendly. We had a... More

Book this hotel off the net for two nights - what a mistake I make - should have booked for 7 nights - we just loved this place. To start off with, this hotel was hit hard by cyclone Ofa and Heta, and is still working hard to recover from these events - so don't expect 5 star. The hotel... More
