We booked 3 nights in an Overwater fale & requested 2 separate beds for my son & I. First we got shown to the tiniest fale with only 1 bed & no room to put another & with the whole place full, the receptionist had to swap us with a couple that were in the fale next door. We stayed 1 night in fale #17 then went back to Apia to find a decent room where we could get some sleep. The rickety stretcher they put in the room for my 6ft son was uncomfortable & the noise all through the night from the water, dogs barking & then roosters was not pleasant.
However, the others in our group all had nice rooms & we thoroughly enjoyed the bar, restaurant, pool, cocktails & overall setting. Free kayak, SUP, & snorkel usage was awesome and the staff were all super lovely, approachable & helpful.

I didn't want to leave. Sure it's a little run down but the people, food and relaxed atmosphere make up for it. It's close to the attractions, airport and the ferry. 80 tala to get to Apia. Loved hearing the singing from the church on Sunday. This trip we we to the Robert Louis Stevenson museum, Apia. Worth a visit.

I stayed in Fale #1 for 3 nights and I absolutely LOVED my stay - wish I was able to stay longer. The room was clean and had everything I needed. The food is AMAZING, and there was a great range of options. The staff were really lovely - they noticed I was travelling alone, remembered and addressed me by name every time I was at the restaurant, and always made sure I had everything I needed.
The views out over the ocean are so beautiful, and there are a lot of great spots to sit and relax. The pool is lovely, and the availability of kayaks etc. is great. Great sunrise and sunset views.
I would love to book this again if I'm ever lucky enough to visit Samoa in future.
