We have a house in Samoa so we just go to Samoan for the day and have lunch. We always have the best time here. The staff and food are fab. I can tell you that as a mom with a lil one it is the best beach for kids as it has so much shade and the rock pool... More

I read the previous review, because we must have been there around the same time. I was there mid January and it had just been taken over by a new owner. However unlike the previous reviewer - I had a fantastic time! We had a lovely comfortable fale on the beach - complete with fly screens (i.e no mosquitos!), ceiling... More

Sa'Moana is an amazing spot for a honeymoon; incredibly relaxing in a beautiful location. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Catching the boat to various surf spots was a highlight, with the dolphins swimming along with us an added bonus! The snorkelling, directly accessible from the resort, was spectacular. The best I have ever seen! Free use of snorkelling... More

Sa'Monana was a perfect spot to relax in Samoa. We discovered this place accidently and if we hadn't already paid for accomodation elsewhere we would have stayed. Instead we visited for two days and stayed for lunch and dinner and to enjoy the exquisite environment. We were just delighted to find a place that has all that we were looking... More

My husband and I were scheduled to spend 12 days at Sa'Moana in September 2011. We ended up only staying 5 days as my husband hurt his knee and had to fly back to Australia to have emergency surgery. First of all; the location is spectacular! I have never been anywhere that looks like it is straight from a post... More

We spent 3 nights at Sa Moana and we considered this the best place to stay during our 2 week vacation. We took advantage of the tours available and they are willing to create a custom tour for you if you have specific spots to hit up. The highlights include the infinity pool and the outdoor lava rock shower. Although... More

From Day 1 a wonderful experience - value for money, great food and the Manger's, Katie and Rob and staff very welcoming. My husband being a surfer was perfectly catered for - with the two boys Andy and Rudy taking him surfing every day - couldn't have asked for more. The reef being situated so close to the resort made... More

First we were quoted in AUD, which we paid, but because the resort owners didn't get a favourable exchange rate on the days we paid they actually had the gall to charge us an extra $200!!! We paid about $520AUD per night for our cabin (which is about $1,150 WST). For this I would expect some luxury. Brand new family... More

Please allow us to clarify a couple of issues that you raise. Your are correct the Resort quotes in AUD$. Many hotels/resorts in Samoa either quote in AUD$ or US$. Let me clarify, it was not the Resort that did not get a favourable rate. Our request was for you to send AUD$ as per our invoice which was also... More

As soon as we arrived at the airport we were met by a friendly driver, then, after a beautiful drive at dawn through awakening villages, we were welcomed by Katie and Rob at the resort. We had a great breakfast then ditched our travel clothes and jumped into the fantastic activities available at our doorstep...snorkelling with lovely coral and colourful... More

Sa'moana is absolutley beautiful and one of the highlights of my trip to Samoa. As a single mother travelling with two children I wanted somewhere where I felt truly safe but still got to enjoy the island lifestyle. Sa'moana was all this and more. It is truly idyllic. The staff are amazing and I would recommend it to anyone -... More
