When I arrived they said we don’t use Expedia anymore. So I didn’t have a reservation. The hotel was empty so they could accommodate me, but it shouldn’t be listed on Expedia anymore. The place is cute , restaurant convenient, breakfast good, dinner poor.

Resort was situated in a beautiful area overlooking the beach, it was picturesque. However very far from main town so be prepared for a long drive. Fridge was not in working condition and french door frame was not conneted to main building properly which caused geckos to enter the room. Overall i really loved it here beds were comfortable and the view was breathtaking.

Serenity and clear blue waters
Posted 5 Sep 2018 on HotelsAmazing place with idyllic views and very clear waters for a wonderful swim. Highly recommend staying in the Sunset Fales only. They have AC for comfort at night and a deck overlooking the water for complete serenity.
The hotel stay includes breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was average with just a piece of toast and dinner likewise. From taking to other guests it would appear the food is a hit or miss and the previous night the food was 5 star and the night we stayed below average. Having said that the people working there are so lovely and when we asked if we could buy food they agreed to open up the lunch menu so that we could go to bed satisfied.
I highly recommend a night or two here and we look forward to going back in the future.

On arrival the staff were very hospitable and nice ! We loved our beachfront fales, has lovely charm but wouldnt be everyone's cup of tea, very basic accomodation and facilities very tired!!! meals included in price but very bland in the end of 5 day stay!!

Great place, friendly and extremely helpful staff. Breakfast and tea were included in the price - while not outstanding it was really good for what we paid. Activities are offered daily - things like a demo on how you make coconut milk from scratch, walk to the local village etc. You will need some small money to give donations for some of these things. Thursday nights are Fia Fia nights (pardon the spelling this may not be right!!) anyway, traditional food is cooked and served, the staff put on a show that is amazing - if you're going trying to be a this place on a Thursday.

Rustic charm and good food
Posted 20 Jun 2018
Pros: Food was great and the cocktails were delicious! Staff were friendly and wonderful.
Cons: Room facilities could do with a bit of an upgrade and it would be wonderful to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
Location: Be mindful that if you are here on a Sunday, there is little to open in the surrounding area and no hotel activities available.
We had a lovely time here at Vaimoana and the food was the best we had in Savai'i. Hearty and home-cooked style meals. The cocktails were also cheap and delicious.
The sea is great for swimming at high tide and there is a range of activities on offer by the hotel.

Wonderful staff,beautiful location. Loved being able to experience the local culture. Great breakfasts.Didn't enjoy set menu so much- need some choices. Very relaxing. Our bathroom not very clean. Entrance to hotel very rough- needs some attention. First impressions very important. Overall, a great experience, though.

Needs lots of improvment and updates
Posted 18 Jan 2018 on HotelsFirst stay we had in standard room which is really to small for two people. Also the shower was leaking so the floor in bathroom was wet all the time.
Second stay on our way back was in superior room. It was really spaceous, with huge balcony, separate living area and separate bedroom. I liked it a lot. But the shower was leaking again and floors were wet.
I think the problem with the building is, there is no maintanance. I think they just leave everything as it is without updates.
