Resort just outside Apia town
Pros:

This resort is family friendly and quite large. We booked a year ago in full and were given an upstairs room when we specifically asked for a downstairs one as my husband has mobility issues, we were finally offered a setback downstairs one. Breakfast was acceptable but evening meals were not. We ate out after some below par evening meals, they purport fine dining, but it certainly is not. Lovely swimming pools and nice coastal walking track with exercise equipment. Taxis available to get you into Apia town 10 mins away. The staff did not seem happy which you normally expect from Samoan people.

3 nights wasn't enough
Pros:

Long drive from the airport but well worth it. Had a 1st floor room over looking the beach/ocean. So relaxing sitting on the balcony at sunset.
Breakfast hot/cold buffet was included but omelete and speciality eggs were extra as was flat whites.
Hotel staff really helpful organizing a one day rental car.
Dinner and shows were amazing.
Will definitely be back.

Very disappointing
Pros:

We went to celebrate a family birthday arrived to the lido pool being refurbished and having Jack hammers going from 8 am to 6pm totally unacceptable . We found the hotel and grounds not up to standard . Rubbish in the gardens and the rooms certainly not pristine . Paddle boards broken and not available and floating bikes not working properly

Great food, great clean rooms, friendly and responsive staff.
Pros:

The breakfast was fabulous and 'beyond' the usual standard buffet fare. The restaurants / bar food, etc was the best we had during our 7 day stay in Samoa.

Location: you can walk right out onto the beach, snorkel or just lounge around the pool.

Taumeasina was the second resort we stayed at (we stayed further down South at another resort). You can walk everywhere in Apia from this resort, but we had a car, so great jump off point.

Cons:

Nothing.

Taumeasina, an average resort
Pros:

Taumeasina resort is located near central Apia across a causeway. MY husband and I were disappointed with our room, we had booked over a year ago for downstairs one and it took them two times to find us a room we were satisfied with. lovely swimming pools and nice walking track around resort, but meals were a let down, good breakfast and adequate fried food but fine dining it certainly doesn’t have. this resort is trying to be all things to all people, safe for children with activities but if you are looking for something special as we were, we would not suggest you stay there.

WORST COFFEE EVER
Pros:

Took my visiting granddaughter here today. Been here many times and wanted to give her a treat. Lovely place. Food was good but don’t order the coffee. Worst coffee ever. Absolutely NO taste. It was brown watery milk. We were looking forward to a strong coffee and were sorely disappointed.
