Lovely staff, delicious breakfast, nice and refreshing pool. Enjoyable stay in the fale 😊
Taylor, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I like boutique hotels and this establishment follows those sort of lines - historical artefacts, antique furniture and photos showcasing the local Apia history dating back 100 years and more. The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. Breakfast was nicely presented.
Deborah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The traditional Samoa fale in which I stayed, the excellent breakfast and the friendly helpful staff
Gerald, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

we enjoyed our family group stay here. Staff were helpful, great location and atmosphere. Excellent pool facilities and breakfast included with the stay was delicious.
Rosemarie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The rooms are basic and clean the property is an old colonial style place and Samoa fales for hire setting surrounded by a beautiful tropical garden and a pool, they serve a different breakfast each day very nice, the staff are lovely and helpful. The dining area is available for use to the guests and a communal kitchen. We often would buy food and bring it back and eat at the dining area. Felt like a true Samoan experience better one of the larger hotels. One slight negative is not safe to keep food in the communal kitchen, other than that everything else is fab, I would come back here and so would my family.
Belinda, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

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.
