Great all-round hotel to enjoy a few days in the city
Pros:

Nice, clean comfortable rooms. Nice architecture and open foyer with beautifully maintained gardens. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. Close enough to walk around the city (although it was so hot when we arrived we struggled haha). The pool was great to cool off in, I think we were the only ones that used the pool the 2 days we were there!
We arrived from the airport really early in the morning and thankfully we were able to leave our bags while we walked around for a few hours before check in.
That night they were having their Fia Fia night, which I would highly recommend. We saw three at different accommodations and Lava Hotel definitely had one of the best shows!
Buffet breakfast was nice enough.
Great hot showers! We didn't get a lot of hot showers in our 2 weeks around Samoa so enjoy them when you have them :)

Cons:

The pool had a lot of missing tiles but it was still usable, just need to be a little careful.

Good stay, but could do with some work.
Pros:

Very clean and great location.

Cons:

Staff often required multiple prompts from us for assistance. The breakfast buffet which was included in our stay was above average. Many of the food items would be empty and we were never during our stay told we could also order from the menu.
