Beautiful but has much more potential with some TLC

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Jan 2024
Caveat that each persons budget sets different expectation, for us per night cost in Samoa we expected a little more.
Positives:
- location was stunning, beautiful beach, beautiful water
- resort well set up to the surroundings
- Spacious room

Downsides:
- In hindsight I actually think on check in they hadn't properly set up our room, it wasnt properly clean, we had no beach towels (but since learnt they did provide them)
- website states cleaned every 2 days, we stayed 4 nights and was cleaned late 3rd day (when we realised they do provide beach towels!)
- Food cost was not reflected in the quality. Totally appreciate island life and availability but it was unfortunate to the extent we experienced, 2/4 days no fish at all, often other things not available, but limited alternatives on the menu or in the vicinity
- room needs some TLC: safe was broken, toilet never stopped running so was noisy, lights broken, basin didnt drain properly, door lock was on its last legs - none of which is the end of the world but with some attention could be much better experience.

Other unfortunate which was totally out of their control is some of the site lost electricity - though our issue was more how they dealt with it and lack of communication, no offer of another room (others still had electricity) or information provided as they worked to get it fixed.

Don't get me wrong it was a lovely stay and the location was great, just with some TLC it could be so much more and make it worth the money.

Note also Dive shop was closed Dec - Jan, again our fault for not checking before booking but note to check if you are wanting to Dive.
Date of stay: December 2023
Room Tip: Double check dive availability before you book if thats what you are looking to do.

Beautiful location. The rooms are comfortable but showing (especially the bathrooms) some age and are in need of TLC. We had a few issues during our stay and management as well as the owner were quick to reolve the problems. If you are after a boutique place to stay with crystal clear water at your front door then Le Legato will not disappoint. Make sure you ask Seti to sing and play his Ukelele for you!

Room tip: The dive shop across the road is not open. Ensure you take your own snorkel gear to get the most out of the reef.

Reviewed 26 December 2023

First time our family visited and stayed in the resort and we were welcomed with a wide open arms. The staff were sweet but by the time we got to our rooms we checked the water was off for the sink, shower and toilet. Our AC also wasnt working. We contacted the receptionist/staff/owner for an assistance if they could fix the water and AC straight away but it looked like they dont care as much as we do cause we paid thousands for our stay. We asked them for like the 10th time cause our family really needed to have showers cause we ride all around Savaii. So what we did we used one room where water is working and their warm pool. Customer service was very bad, we may be locals but they should treat us like they treated the Palagis we stayed at the resort. Whenever members of our family asked for this and that but they always gave us that “dont want to serve you” looks cause we dressed up not nice and we are locals. Expectations were high for the resort cause we saw some good reviews about their service and everything but with our family no it is a different story. Meal prices was such a rip off.
Do not recommend this place for a stay when visiting the beautiful big island.

Beautiful location and pool and the bones are there but it could do with some more love and attention to detail.
One lamp in our room had mold on it, one was clean.
The mirror in our room wasnt clean (minor thing but noticeable)
Other than that room is good, aircon strong, shower had hot water, views lovely. Bed was firm but got the job done.
No snorkeling gear available which is a shame because the snorkeling on your doorstep is nice. The resort next door had some and we used that.
There was broken glass beside the pool both days we stayed at the resort and when we raised it with the bartender we were met with indifference and they didnt check the area or attempt to clean it.
Re transfers make sure you triple check it with reception.
The food was solid but next door at the barefoot bar the food was exceptional. Go there.
No wifi - but there is a store across the road that has local sims and they are cheap and the owner there is lovely and helpful.
For Savaii its probably the place to stay still, but it'd be great if the owners lifted their game a fraction. It could be amazing

We loved out time at Le Lagoto Resort. The staff was extra friendly, very welcoming, the rooms were beautiful and also the activities available was just what we needed. We loved the fiafia night and the dinners available. Very clean and I will surely go back again. Highly recommend.

Main bed hard as a rock

Food options were extremely limited.

An entire menu was limited down to only two options for breakfast.

Advised via phone and email prior to arriving regarding food allergies.

Buffet night, we were advised by main receptionist one of us could have an individual meal due to allergies.

No options edible for them off the buffet.

$75 Tala per person.
Two of the food options were not edible for us.
One being raw fish.

Upon arriving for dinner, the lady ushering us in advised the individual plate was not an option at all. Her tone and mannerism was really quite rude.

After explaining clearly the pre arranged option, she then stated she would have to ask the chef if they would do that.

Thank you chef. Whom did allow one of our party to eat that night.

Felt like we were in a prison camp with limited food and drinks and grumpy personalities.

This resort was better than the other one on Upolo though.

Wouldn’t recommend, if you don’t like putting your hand in your pocket unnecessarily, very regularly.

Sorry Samoa, you have let us down.
