Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our extended family stayed here as it was recommended to us, due to the size of our group ( over 60 people) and their facilities were big enough to cater for us. They were able to do that well and some of the staff were helpful. The pool area was great for the kids and those who enjoyed swimming. The rooms were clean and tidy, but room service was'nt everyday and they did not often give you the right number of towels for people staying in the rooms or provide sufficient loo paper. In addition, we were disappointed they did not have some basics such as a toaster, radio, microwave and television in the rooms. There was also no separate sink to the bathroom, so we had to use the kitchen sink to brush teeth and wash our hands. Also all their facilities like the use of their hall and open fales came at a cost to hire. Would be good if they provide a sheet outlining prices as it seems they would quote a price from thin air? Not a good way to run a business. The location is close to the airport but away from the city, best to hire a vehicle if you want to get around. Although, our family reunion was a success and so much fun, must say there would be much better places to stay at. But for average accommodation this would be ideal?

Had to remind them a deposit had been paid for us, this caused some debate.
No help(we are 75) with clear directions or help with bags to room. Room very basic, fridge did work but rusty on outside. Couldn't,t change air conditioning which was set on 25 degrees.no cups in room no soap. Hot water wasDANGEROUS. Lasted about30 seconds then went cold. When hot did come on went from cold to hot very quickly nearly scolded my wife.Bar prices 5 star.Staff learning how to mix.Rooms where well serviced each day.

The rooms are average but are in the process of being upgraded. The pool and bar area are fabulous and all the staff were very helpful. A great place for a large group or a wedding party. We were only 20 minutes from town and the airport.

DO NOT COME HERE
The most disappointing stay ever. As soon as we got here, the rooms were absolutely filthy. For $200 a night you’d think that they would service the rooms everyday, but we had to ask for rooms to be serviced. We had to pay 50 tala for our laundry to be done and it took an entire day (we gave a small load). My uncle had to get a mattress for 30 tala, which wasn’t too bad, but then they charged my brother 50 tala for the same exact mattress. Service is absolutely horrible. My siblings and I were asked to leave our room as it was booked for another family even though we had already paid for it. The rooms are very dirty and not properly cleaned even after being serviced. The pool had been closed for half our stay due to “cleaning”, our rooms had poor air conditioning. We are disgusted by the lack of customer service and the state of the hotel itself. Our first few nights staying here there were huge events going on and it was difficult to get sleep. when we moved into our new room, we discovered there were piss like stains on the sheets and asked for the room to be serviced and they never came, so we went to stay at my grandmothers house that was already full. there is so sense of privacy in the bathrooms as the bathroom windows are facing the balconies. Breakfast was served to us one morning and the bread was mouldy, we didn’t realise until we were half way through our breakfast. We also found out from another family staying there that they had been paying 70 tala a night but we were paying 200 tala a night… WTF!!
The people in the office making up their prices as they please, when we went to add another night the guy in front said 220 and we asked has it gone up in price overnight as it was 200 for the last 5nights and he said sorry he got it wrong when he obviously just thought he will try his luck .
Workers being unprofessional as they speak about the way i dress in samoan and say i look like an idiot, after i had asked for the room to be serviced. We had another worker ask my brother for money.
no hot water in the showers, the sink in the little kitchen is the same sink we use to brush our teeth an wash face each morning
This was last resort for accomodation due to timing with so many church conferences on at the time all hotels were fully booked. we paid day by day so we can keep looking around for something else and unfortunately we were stuck with the 200tala a night room that was an absolute nightmare for 10nights till most family left the village and we went back there for the remainder of our trip .
St Therese Accomadation Leauvaa you’re an absolute disgrace to the samoan accommodations /tourism industry and I wouldn’t even stay there for free EVEERRR!!!!

The title says it all. I arrived at this hotel last year and the room was unbearable. You can't stay in the room for long because there are lots of misquotes in the room. It's that bad.

I have checked the other rooms and it was all the same. Beds had stains on them and insects lying around. The room and other rooms haven't been cleaned and you could tell because there are hardly any employees working there and have switched rooms as well.

Had to switch rooms because the shower wasn't working properly and it was still the same with the other room. Couldn't be bothered to switch again. No TV, had to pay over $150 to bring the whole family to the pools even though we've paid for the hotel. Should be free bit I guess they needed the money somehow.

Couldn't order pizza for the family (about 40) because we can get better value for our money. They didn't have the ingredients so we had to pay extra to order someone else just to cater for them. Spent over $500 on ordering.

The other problem when we came back to the room there was a lady cleaning our room even though we hadn't asked anyone to do it.

I am horrified and very disappointed in The St. Theresa Samoa Retreat & Accomodation. This is good to hire out the center but not to stay there. Its a complete joke!! They dont do room service, they dont change the towels, they dont even offer TV's, yet how do you charge over $380 Tala per night and not even a telephone in the room. Our lights were half working, the AC barely working, old soaps from the previous guest, toilet paper only enough for half a day and when we ask the front desk for service they dont come or they give you dirty looks. Im a Samoan and never been treated this way. I feel like they think that its ok that Samoan's live this way. Well, let me tell you, we not!!, were not faigaelo (untidy) and we love a clean room and a clean made up bed especially if were paying good money for it. You guys should never charge 4 star rates and offer no star service. I URGE EVERYONE NOT TO STAY HERE, THERE IS BETTER LODGING ELSEWHERE!! If your hiring out the place for an event then thats ok, but dont lodge there, its terrible!!

Stayed here in Dec 2016 with several other family members...in total we occupied about 5 rooms. In the 8 DAY period we stayed here my room and my mums room was serviced once!! My aunts room was not serviced at all??!! EVERYTIME we went to the reception to ask for toilet paper or fresh towels it was on EVERY occassion locked??!!! Whether it was 9am 1pm 6pm even the day we had to check out 10am...LOCKED?!!! THE SERVICE WAS SHOCKING for the money they charge!!! So we had to go BUY our own damn toilet paper for the WEEK! Dirty bathrooms, showers with water that floods the room because there is no where for the water to run so u have to use towels as a square to keep the water in??!!! Couldn't even make a complaint because the office was never open??!! WE WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN.

We booked through Outdoor Samoa but the price of this hotel is shocking, in NZ I would resent paying $80 for this place. The good points are that we felt safe, the sheets were clean and the air-conditioning worked, but apart from that, theres not much to recommend it. The staff went expecting us, our room wasn't ready, it had no character & the walls were lined with beds, the bathroom was poor and there were no towels, none of the electric plugs worked.

As these guys are just getting up and running they need to be commended on their ability to listen to their customers and understand their needs. A bit off the beaten track, i.e. not right in the thick of Apia, but the pool area is fabulous. If you want a family friendly atmosphere and you are not too stressed about average accommodation this is the place to go. Food will improve as they mature with this business but for a first time to Samoa traveller these buys were helpful and very pleasant. Best advice when travelling to Samoa - it is an Island and EVERYTHING runs on Island time. Go with few or no expectations and you will not be disappointed. A picturesque spot. Local Bus Company three doors from St Therese run by Jackie was absolutely faultless - he could not have been more helpful.

We stayed here for 3 night and for one of these nights a wedding was booked, meaning we were unable to use the pool, bar and restaurant. No one told us this when we booked or even when we checked in. Communication with guests needs to be improved! The rooms were average, with poor facilities. Our fridge didn't close properly and there was no tea, coffee or milk supplied like advertised online. The only thing that keeps this from being 2 stars is the lovely pool area. The bar staff were friendly and attentive, however food and drinks always took a while to arrive. We'll find somewhere else to stay next time!
