Resort is great if you have kids.
Meals - don't always think you are going to get what you ordered! Can be pot luck.
Drinks - some drinks not available despite being on the menu.
Pools - great; there are three options, suitable for all ages
Beach - great having direct access to the beach and reefs
Activities - great if you have kids to entertain
Staff - some great, some not so much - similar to most place

Pros:

I recently stayed at Taumeasina Island Resort in Samoa. The island itself is absolutely stunning — I highly recommend visiting the ocean trench, cave pools, trying clam diving, and going snorkelling. The resort is probably the best on the island, but it doesn’t quite meet 4-star standards by European expectations. Our room was spacious and well-equipped, but it had a persistent damp smell and we were only provided with one towel per person. The beach area is lovely, but there are only a handful of sunbeds (six or seven at most), so we often had to lay towels on the grass — adding more loungers would make a big difference.

The pool and restaurant areas could use better upkeep, with missing pool tiles, dirty chairs, and tables left unwiped — one night there was even a used child’s nappy by the poolside. The food was average, and the whole resort could benefit from a refresh. The views are gorgeous and the reception area is bright and welcoming, but service was slow and disorganised. Drinks sometimes didn’t arrive, and the bar would really benefit from a simple QR code ordering system. The staff were friendly, but the reliance on carbon paper for bills made everything feel dated and inefficient.

On a positive note, the Fia Fia night was excellent and definitely a highlight of our stay. Overall, Taumeasina is a good base for exploring Samoa, but with better maintenance, more sunbeds, and sharper service, it could be truly exceptional.

My wife and I loved everything about Taumeasina Island Resort. From Fiafia Nights, to many activities, kayaking and even strolling around the vicinity was awesome. The location of Taumeasina Island Resort was amazing especially the location of our room. Shout out to Taase Siania @ reservation. She went beyond to make sure that the room I requested was met to the best of her ability. We're very pleased with our room. Shout out to Pesamino our waiter. Pesamino made our stay at Taumeasina Island Resort a pleasurable one. He always greeted my wife and I with a wonderful and warm smile and always make sure we were taken care of. Shout out to Nora @ housekeeping for making sure that our room was cleaned and she went out of her way to make sure that we received our laundry before we checked out. Shout out to the rest of the staffs. They were all awesome, helpful, and very friendly. Thank you again Taumeasina Island Resort for making our vacation/honeymoon a special one that we both will never forget.

Pros:

Perfect place to stay after a day adventuring around the island. Breakfast was incredible every morning and served as our main meal each day before heading out on excursions. We stayed with two young children (2 and 7) and the staff took excellent care of us. Parking was convenient for our rental car and plenty of shops and gas stations nearby to pick up needed items between adventures. Close to town, but quiet and secluded on the island was a perfect combo for us.

Pros:

The hotel was in a lovely position.
The rooms lacked decent seating but the bathroom was superb, and the bed very comfortable.
No movie channel to watch in the late evening.
Did have wheel chair friendly toilets, but you had to be able to get out of chair to open and close doors.
Prices where average hotel prices.
