Would of been better if it wasn’t so noisy
Pros:

The facility is nice however a little dated in the room we had. The noise was very loud with lots of hammering & even a chainsaw throughout the whole day so it wasn’t peaceful at all.

Cons:

Too noisy, all day listening to hammers & chainsaw wasn’t nice & couldn’t nap at all.

Fantastic stay, exactly what you needed and right in the centre of Apia.
Pros:

Our stay at Tanoa was fabulous. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the location is perfect: a short walk to the main streets and sights of Apia, and the facilities were super clean. Breakfast every morning was delicious and had a pretty good variety, and the fia fia night was fantastic: performances were beautiful, MC was incredibly entertaining and the food was some of the best we had during our holiday.

Beautiful place! Beautiful atmosphere, beautiful food, staff and worth the money!
Pros:

I absolutely loved the room we stayed in, had also a really big beautiful balcony. The staff were so friendly and approachable. The food and drinks were great and also the pool was clean and not too deep. Also the breakfast buffet was also so good had a good variety of things to select to eat.

Cons:

The aircon would sometimes play up and it takes a while for it to be cold enough.

Good base of operations in Apia
Pros:

There is not much accommodation (at all) in Samoa, so it was nice to have a dependable, professionally-run base for our stay. It's a great location for day trips as everyone knows it. We were nearby the annual Meassina festival, which was worth checking out. The hotel is walking distance from the flea market, the samoa cultural village, and Milani Cafe and Cakes. It is only a short taxi ride to other locations such as Paddles Restaurant. The breakfast fine but basic; they'll make you eggs how you like, and there was fresh fruit. They also had more traditional Samoan foods to try for breakfast if you want - like kokoa rice. The pool are is comfortable, with a shower for rinsing, and the hotel grounds feel like a garden. Our room was large, clean, and was comfortable despite being a little tired. It's a major hotel so it's easy for pickups for tours - the staff helped us book a driver too and from the Robert Louis Stevenson museum (also recommended). Staff were very friendly - helping us get tourist SIMs.

Cons:

Some of the staff seemed to know what was going on, but others not so much. The (optional) Fiafia night was ok, and the staff from the hotel were part of the show - but it was quite expensive for what it was.

Out of the three accommodations we stayed at, this was definitely my favourite. I personally preferred staying here over
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were friendly, welcoming and so helpful throughout our stay. The cleaners were also lovely and did a great job keeping our room clean and tidy. Having our water bottles refilled every day was such a thoughtful bonus.

The breakfast and dinner buffet were delicious, and we absolutely loved the Fiafia Night. The pool was perfect for the kids, and we all really enjoyed our time here.

The location was very convenient and made it easy for us to get around. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi were also great, which made our stay even more comfortable.

Overall, the kids and I had such a lovely stay. We really appreciated how helpful and accommodating everyone was, and we would definitely stay here again! ❤️🌺

Cons:

One small thing to note is that the walls aren’t very soundproof, so we could hear the neighbours arguing/ talking as well as some bass sounds vibrating through the walls. It wasn’t a major issue for me personally and didn’t really affect my stay, but it’s something worth mentioning for anyone who prefers a quieter environment or is a light sleeper.
