Tina & [Siuna ] & family looked after us exceptionally well with beautiful home cooked breakfast & dinners , convivial bar & dining area over the lovely sandy beach - enjoyed sharing the experience with fellow travellers- our most relaxing stay in Samoa & a good base to visit Namua Island, waterfalls & To Sua Ocean Trench.

It's a great example of a family run Samoan beach front falle, the family who own it and the wider village are super friendly, the location is stunning, palm trees over quiet sandy beaches. Shared toilet facilities, the food is very good, bring talla as there is no electronic payment and they have a lovely bar over the beach, perfect for a few beers and watching the sun go down.

Warnings: The Google Maps pin IS correct, you will just have to keep walking around the buildings until you find someone to check in. It took us about half an hour to find someone. If you stay in the fales, wild cats and dogs will come in all night and try to sleep on your bed. The showers are cold taps without shower heads. The location is amazing, best swim we have had around Upolu. Dinner and breakfast are yum.

Faofao beach fales are like living in paradise
Spent an amazing few nights at Faofao fales. The fale is right on the beach and a great place to relax. The family that run these fales are very friendly and beautiful hosts. The meals were so tasty and enjoyed lovely cocktails on the eating area veranda looking out over the ocean. Will definitely return here. The mosquito nets were intact, the mattresses comfortable and the shared bathroom facilities were well kept and cleaned. The location is close to To Sua trench and lolmanu beach however the Faofao beach is so beautiful i was happy to spend time there. Cant wait to return!

Good fales, wake up to gorgeous beach, swim or good snorkeling, then a nice breakfast. Lovely family runs it, who provide great & friendly service - even a band one night. Bar & restaurant right on the water, looking out to the ocean and along the beach. Highly recommend! 👌

STUNNING. Real authentic Fale stay with an awesome Samoan family. This is not the place to stay if you like resorts. But if you like sleeping three steps away from the most beautiful beach in the world, and eating yum authentic food, this is the place for you

Friendly helpful staff. We stayed in the accommodation block. Beachfront fales were another cheaper option. Not luxurious but in keeping with its charging. It has a large communal dining room where it was easy to chat with other guests. Good basic breakfast and dinner were included with our Expedia booking.
