Comfortable and clean
Pros:

This is my go to accommodation in Apia. The staff are lovely and the room is clean with good aircon.
The breakfast options are good and the overall accommodation is beautiful.

We stayed the a ground floor room with 2 double beds. It was spacious and had a smoking area outside for my partner.

Great location but needs improvement
Pros:

Overall, it's a nice place to stay with a good location and comfortable rooms. However, there were a few things that could be improved. The air conditioning units had visible mould inside and were difficult to operate, so we had to ask staff for assistance to get them working properly.
The bar area lacked atmosphere, with only sports playing on the TV and no background music, which made it feel quite quiet. The buffet breakfast was also fairly average, with limited variety than we expected.
It would also be helpful if the property updated the photos on the website, as they don't accurately reflect what the property looks like now. With a few improvements, this could be an even better place to stay.

Lovely place for holiday
Pros:

Highly recommend this place for families, couples, or groups of friends. It is a clean, safe, and welcoming hotel. The customer service is incredible, the staff always say hello, remember your name/what you old to drink/eat, and what you’ve been up to in the day. Housekeeping was great and daily.

We loved the breakfast buffet! It was fresh and different everyday. The rooms all have balconies/patios and a TV. They look just like the photos. The pool is lovely and the bar atmosphere is nice. The food at the bar is okay, we ate there a few times and the service was great but we quickly got bored of the menu. The fiafia night was fun and we loved the performance. The was very disappointing for the fiafia night and we wish we bought food elsewhere and just watched the entertainment.

It is a great location in central Apia and you can walk around the centre of the city easily.
WiFi is included and normal hotel amenities.

I highly recommend and I would stay here again. Fa’afetai lava!

TANOA 2026
Pros:

Tanoa exceeded our expectations. Our family of 11 were greeted by the beautiful front staff. The lovely Apollo and bag boys helped us settle into our rooms and then check out without any stress. The reservations manager Rita supported us from NZ with regular emails about our booking and making sure that everything was all set for us. The location was perfect and in central Apia. The double deluxe rooms were super spacious and with three rooms we fit all 11 of us. The gym and services available were perfect fit for Tanoa and our use. Our kids loved the main pool and made use of it every day. The smaller pool was a-bit cold but it was covered for our smaller babies. Breakfast was AMAZING we loved the fresh fruit, the bread selection, eggs and the fresh local food like koko alaisa and supo esi. Our star at breakfast as the beautiful Christina and our lovely host SAULA. Both brought such joy to breakfast and taking the time to chat to use and check in if everything was okay. We also would like to acknowledge the cleaning staff for setting up our two rooms for our niece and mums birthdays we were all blown away by the set ups and are truely thankful. We loved our stay so much we wanted to stay longer but were guttered it was fully booked but that speaks volumes. We cannot wait to come back and stay longer. Thank you again Tanoa for having us.

Pros:

The location was fantastic, right in town near restaurants and shopping.
Staff friendly and professional price's for food and beverages is reasonable. Room was spacious with a verandah overlooking the tennis court and well kept gardens. Recommend.

Cons:

They forgot to service room twice,were pretty clean however room waters and bins should be completed daily.
This was a minor issue and was addressed when we let them know.

Beautiful and special
Pros:

The staff were so welcoming, so helpful we requested a few things and they responded within 5 minutes. They were the best. My kids and wife couldn’t stop talking about how great they are. Even the food, the room were so clean. My kids first time in Samoa and Tanoa Hotel showed them what Samoa is really like and I’m so grateful. Even the pool was awesome. If you think of a family holiday in Samoa, Tanoa Hotel is the place and it’s even right in town you can walk everywhere. We will stay there again. Thank you to all the Tanoa Hotel staff for making our trip a special one. Now the wife wants another one next month :)
