Vaijee‘itai Holidays from AU$2,124

Wonderful location with fantastic accommodation. We stayed in the one bedroom beachfront fale which was great and a final few nights in an over the water Fale. Staff were great, good choice of food options and specials for dinner. We enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast.

We loved our stay at Sinilei. The staff are lovely, fun and always eager to please. Dinners at the restaurant were beautiful and there are two other resorts nearby whose restaurants can also be visited if you want a change. The room was very clean and serviced daily and the bed was very comfortable. The gardens are super impressive: the grounds staff do an excellent job of maintaining the lawns and gardens. We were a group of 6, so opted to use a local taxi service to visit local attractions rather than hotel based tours; I highly recommend Sam and his brother Mari who were reliable and safety conscious and went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience ( Sam even snorkelled with us to make sure we accessed the best spots). These taxi drivers can be contacted through Reception at Sinalei. The only thing I would criticise about the resort is that they need more sunlounges around the pool and on the beach, as there were multiple days when we couldn’t get a sun lounge to relax on. Oh…and be sure to book a massage- they are heavenly!!

My first time in Samoa. Saletoga has a lovely family feel so remember it isnt a big chain like Hilton or Sofitel. Positives 1. Staff are warm, friendly, respectful. 2. Wifi available in restaurant, reception, pool but not rooms. 3. Good buffet style breakfast with enough to keep you full and variety. Great fritters, donuts, mango, papaya. Had bacon once in 6 days. Juices. Or you can order from menu. 4. Water stations to refill water and keep in your fridge 5. Very clean. Id read about cocroaches and mosquitos. Didn't see any. Staff always cleaning. 6. Easy to hire a car for the day. We had a Suzuki jimney manual. 7. Fia fia night is a MUST. Only on Wednesdays. Food was lovely. Show was fun. Reasonable price. Cons 1. Could have some activities for kids eg. Rugby down by the beach or teaching them drumming or a treasure hunt or even coloring in competitions. Need more kids dvds. Maybe some balls to borrow too. The playground is cool for up to 5 year olds. 2. Have to ask bar for ice. A few ice machines installed around the resort would be fab. 3. Broken flippers need a revamp 4. More bacon!! Take some lollies to hand out as treats and bring a smile to Staff!! All tips go in one box at reception and after being split by 100 staff I doubt they get much extra.
