We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sinalei, the resort is beautiful and the amazing staff really make your stay special. We stayed in the garden Fale for six nights as part of a Luxury escapes package. We enjoyed daily buffet breakfast with a local flare (changing slightly daily) along with a 30 minute massage each at the spa and two included dinners (unfortunately we missed the BBQ night due to our flight times). We ate at the resort for all our meals, the menu is extensive enough that for a week's stay there are enough options to not get bored. Meals are resort prices (comparable to dining out in Australia) and absolutely delicious. Fia Fia night was amazing too. Wen opted to the East Coast tour and despite the rainy weather, our guides Tina and Lilo made for an enjoyable day and it was a great way to take a look around the island. The only thing to be mindful of is that there is no included WiFi, you need to purchase a voucher to use near the reception area, it's inexpensive so not a big deal. We loved our time in Samoa and this is mostly because of how well we were looked after by the amazing Sinalei staff. If we were to return to the area we would stay again, facilities are great, and everything is beautiful, two minutes to the beach and the pool is wonderful too! Big thanks to everyone at Sinalei for making our holiday one of the best we've had.

Arrive as guests, leave as famliy friends!
We are a family that likes to travel. Having visited many different parts of the world, I am very pleased to state out loud that Samoa blew us away! In fact it must be said that we have left Samoa already planning our return trip to Sinalei Reef Resort, next year to explore more of this beautiful country.
As a family we all agree that this has been one of the best holidays - due to the resort, the activities and visiting both islands of Samoa. The warmth and welcome you receive from everyone is outstanding and it really does start from the minute you touchdown in the airport. At the resort everyone is genuinely friendly from Front Desk to Security, from Tour Guides to Bar Staff. As a Welsh/Australian Family we have had the desire to visit Samoa for many years so I did my research and boy oh boy the country is incredible and did not disappoint.
Let's talk resort. Over 12 years old is the requirement. We had an Ocean View Villa. Falling asleep with the waves crashing and waking up to the sun peering through the palm trees were just one of the many highlights. Air conditioned. Shower was ample..not your power shower but we didn't expect it. Breakfast was different every day, for dinner we stuck to authentic Samoan fish dishes. The Whole Snapper was the best! Yum! There are other dining options around so you don't have to stay in the resort - Coconuts Resort or George's Bar on the beach are short walking distance away. At the end of the jetty in the bottom half of the resort, there is an ocean spring bubbling away. Spent hours with the children here. This is where we encountered our first turtle siting. All in all we swam with 7 turtles around the resort. Totally Magical and memories that will stay with us forever. Hire of snorkel & kayaks were easy and part of the package. Nice swimming pool. Great Open spaces - the resort never felt overcrowded. We didn't pay for WIFI much to the temporary meltdown from the children about their 'streaks' (??) but instead as a family we played cards and absorbed the infectious positive vibe that surrounded the resort. Every night we would listen to the Sinalei String Band - huge accolade to Michael who has a beautiful voice but the band as a whole were fantastic.. I bought their CD and have listened to it constantly since our return - transporting me back to the evenings at Sinalei. The spa was divine. Special mention must be extended to the following staff, Tina, Lilo, Nemo, Dominic x 2, Napa, Nina, Jerome, Masina but trust me when I say that all the staff were just fantastic in every conceivable way.
There is nothing negative I can say about our experience here at Sinalei....Faafetai tele lava.. Toe fo'i mai.

We have just returned from a holiday at Sinalei Resort, what a stunning property with lush gardens, great pool and beautiful staff. Our villa was so roomy and air conditioning kept us cool, we had a view of the ocean through palm and coconut trees. My husband was able to stroll down the beach and get a boat out to uncrowded surf breaks, my highlight was snorkeling with turtles right off the beach. The owners should be so proud of what they have created and we look forward to returning.
