Palolo Deep Marine Reserve Tours and Activities

This hotel has a wonderful and convenient location, which is the center of Apia where every shops, restaurants and attractions are merely a walking distance. Love it there and also plans to stay there if I go back again! Thank you Tauese for the hospitality and the memories!

The staff were welcoming and very friendly. The proximity to Apia had the advantage one could readily go there for decent, quiet dining. The resort offered limited menus and the quality of the food. presented was not of a standard for such a resort. "Fine dining:" was supposedly available with 24 hours notice, though the Sina menus presented in the Menu books were not available (e.g. including lobster) and offered no alternative protein to that afforded in the other restaurants. Entertainment was provided each evening in the Manu bar, the noise from which drowned decent conversation whichever restaurant was chosen. Whilst the dancers and musicians in the "Fia Fia" show were enthusiastic the fact that they were not on a raised plinth meant anyone more than 2-3 rows back only saw bobbing heads. There was no transport from the resort to town and the nearest bus-stop was about 1km from the resort down a dimly lit roadway, It's a shame, the resort could be so much more with greater attention to detail. The room was fine, clean and well maintained though on the smaller-side than enjoyed elsewhere. Its proximity to Apia also makes it less "exclusive" than other resorts as access is not controlled, the entry barrier being raised without challenge.

Beautiful well kept gardens, large clean rooms, Samoan staff friendly. Great breakfasts with good variety Food and drink expensive - especially in the resort shop. No other options, no shops in walking distance. Unfortunately My husband got sick for 24 hours after eating bbq chicken pizza which put a dampener on our stay. Other than that- was a relaxing stay with beautiful sunsets.
