Faleolo Holidays from AU$1,011

Was underwhelmed by the hotel. First room we were put in was right at the back of the hotel (102) and the damp smell of mold greeted us as soon as we opened the door. Walls were scuffed, bed sheets and towels were in a questionable state and there was mold all over the roof of the bathroom. Asked to be moved to the 500 block where we had other family staying and it was acceptable compared to the initial room but still, not the greatest. Rooms are in desperate need of a refurbishing. Food was very average - paddles restaurant up the road from the hotel was cheaper and quality was top tier so recommend that for dinner. Also maybe some proper clarification or a physical happy hour menu so customers know the exact time and what drinks are included. A lot of the time it was just the waiter rattling off a whole list including cocktails and then checking again with another waiter who says cocktails are not included? Also if you order from a certain part of the restaurant, your drink was full price and wasn’t included in the happy hour even though it came out of the same bar? We’d have to walk up to the bar to purchase our drink to take back for it to be happy hr $? Entertainment was good and it’s nice they have something on every night. Customer service was good for the most part although there were certain instances where i felt the staff lacked training or a sense of professionalism especially on reception. Overall it was an ok stay however there is so much room for improvement.

Amazing! Wish we stayed longer. Place is perfect. Thank you for a great stay!! Much alofas xox

Sinalei Reef Resort & Spa is an amazing stay. Great hospitality, beautiful location and scenery, and the Superior Ocean View Villa is a sanctuary. “Fia-Fia” show night every Wednesday is where you are treated to delicious Samoan cuisine and buffet, as well as traditional Fa’a Samoa culture, dance and song, including the exciting “Siva Afi” fire knife dance. Unfortunately, we missed the BBQ buffet held every Saturday night, but are so grateful to Sinalei for making our wedding anniversary a memorable experience. We will definitely stay again when in Samoa, fa’afetai tele lava.

The resort itself did not disappoint. Everything was as advertised. But Chris the owner is Mr Scrooge. Overpriced food and drinks. Even based on other resorts in the area. We went on a fishing charter and he said he would charge us full price on any fish caught. We spoke to another resort and restaurant and they both said they would only charge a corkage so to speak as they could on sell the rest of the fish which would be acceptable. Charges for a taxi at 150 tala when we could get for 80 tala for the same trip. We wouldn’t mind him making coin on the service but to charge almost double is outrageous. Ceiling fans in the restaurant area wouldn’t go astray. The staff are absolutely amazing and beautiful humans
