We wanted a relaxing holiday, and got it. Beach front villa very clean with all necessary facilities and just walk out onto the most magnificent white beach. Stunning bars out over the water to watch the turtles from while the service throughout is excellent. Wonderful very accommodating staff.

Thank you for your review.
We are pleased you enjoyed your holiday with us - other than our people, the best thing about our Resort (and Samoa) is the natural beauty so the beach, water and definitely the magnificent turtles - we are so proud of.
thanks again!
Rained almost continuously for 4 days and septic tank couldn’t cope. Toilets blocked in heaps of rooms. Power went off in our room when outside light was turned on. They replaced fuse in fuse box. Removed outside light bulb and taped over faulty switch. Had to use a torch to find our room at night. Resort had plenty of umbrellas for guest use. Service in restaurant ok, food pretty good. Breakfast pretty average ( no bacon).

Thank you for your feedback.
We definitely understand your disappointment - the rain last week was unexpected especially for dry season. We were not properly prepared for this weather and it did create areas of flooding.
It is dark around the Resort in places, the beach is dark on purpose for the turtles at night time however we do understand how dark it can be particularly if youre not familiar with the area and so we have installed more lights around the Resort and are sourcing more to add as many as we reasonably can.
Sorry about the bacon - we dont always have bacon available on the buffet, its all imported in Samoa and so we use alternatives particularly if we can find local alternatives
Thanks again
We loved our 3 nights at Return to Paradise. Excellent communication arranging our stay. Very kind friendly staff. We are on a special diet, their kitchen staff were very understanding and the food was delicious. The beach is lovely. Our room had everything we needed, very spacious and great view out to the beach. We will definitely be back. Ross and Penny from New Zealand

Thank you kindly for your feedback. It was great to have you stay with us for 2 days last month.
We are glad we were able to accommodate your dietary requirements :)
We look forward to you visitng us again one day soon!
kind regards
The staff is very friendly and lovely. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable his name is Tupu and was fantastic to see and learn so much on the tours. The excursions are well worth the value. Especially because we did this trip on school times and was fantastic for my daughter to learn while on holidays. Would come back again.

Thank you for your review.
We are very proud of staff :) Tupu and his team are the winners of the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum best tour team award this year. We always suggest where you are able to join one (or many) of our tours - not only do they have a wealth of local knowledge, they are friendly and there's always a bit of humour - we are glad you got to experience this too!
thanks again
The room was spacious and I couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous view. It truly was paradise, just steps away from the beach.
The room I was assigned had a kitchenette, complete with an apartment size fridge, a microwave, an electric hot plate & a pot to boil water for coffee. I went with family & days that we didn't want to eat at the resort Cafe, we bought groceries from Farmer Joe's about half hour away and cooked in the room.
Had a wonderful time staying at Return to Paradise & would definitely return.

Thank you for your review. The room type you had was a beachfront suite which is a great option if you would like to do some of your own cooking, and have a bigger fridge, toaster, oven and the like. We are glad you were able to do this and found it suitable for your needs. (Frankies is about 20minutes away, and Farmer Joe's is about 45minutes).
The view of Return to Paradise beach is beautiful - we are indeed very lucky.
We are glad that you enjoyed your time with us, and we do look forward to hosting you again one day in the future.
Thank you
