Spent 12 days at this Hotel and the House maids need to be taught how to service the rooms properley. They would take the towels in the morning and we would be ringing reception at 6:00 in the evening asking for the towels. They had to wash and dry them before you could get any back. They were always running... More

The hotel was exactly as described. The room was large, modern and the bed was very comfortable. Room serviced daily. The whole complex is quite and at night there was no noise anywhere which made for a good nights sleep. The food was OK, but we found cheaper alternatives in Apia itself (within a 20 minute walk or 5 minute... More

Had to use this hotel for one night because of transit. From the time of check-in to mosquito bites, bad buffet food, not able to make a simple phone call (front desk staff reacting with horrible attitude), internet problems and over pricing on rooms...everything was okay. Tanoa is a reputable hotel through out the Pacific but this disappoints.

Well for the price we paid, it was very disappointing. When we arrived, there was a mix up of the room which took some time to resolve. There was no big welcome speech and brief on the place,Then they gave us the wrong cards for the room cos we went in and someone was already in there (embarrassing). The next... More

The general manager of this hotel is abrupt, rude and lacks interpersonal communication skills. I watched this general manager belittle staff in front of other staff and hotel patrons.
