Average

I booked this resort as it had a high ranking but I didn’t think it deserves that ranking. Our tv and dvd player didn’t work, our shower was constantly cold. Batteries for remotes needed replacing. I was at reception constantly complaining. Also they decided to water blast the roof of our villa. I asked if they could come another day as I wasn’t impressed with the amount I paid to be disrupted by constant noise. They complied but did the villa next door. The staff have little knowledge on things like daily food specials or info on tours. Poor communication and average service from staff. Average resort for the price paid

2 night stop over between trip to Savaii and flight out. Accommodation cleana and spacious. Beach not so good. Pools only at low tide. Food average and Auz NZ prices. No other options qhile at the resort. DvDs available in room for free. Felt more like a cruise commercial vibe as lots of people in clo a e proximity.We prefer more authentic and smaller places to stay in Samoa. Owners friendly and clearly catering for average aus nz tourists.

It takes a lot of effort and determination to run a big property like this. Perfect for families as there is ample room in the villas. The beach is safe, the pool awesome. The whole property is set up really well and the breakfast wholesome and they try and mix it up a bit. Food is nicely cooked ( menu is lacking a tad but the breakfast makes up for that ). Allow just over an hour from the Airport and a rental car is strongly recommended ( albeit they do offer transfers ). Things that could do with Improvement: Clithes washing facilities ( to have the resort do it is super expensive ). Staff spitting into the gardens ( seems to me they are not proud of where they work? ). All up a very enjoyable stay!

Lovely place, beautiful surroundings and staff are nice. Recommendations; They are building new facilities outside the hotel rooms but they start work at 7am with hammering, it was not a nice way to wake up each night! Safe didn’t work, asked 3 times for it to be get the batteries replaced and fixed but no one ever turned up. If you hire a scooter it is mandatory to use their insurance, regardless if you have your own. Air conditioning remote was broken and being fixed, so we couldn’t change the settings

The Resort itself is stunning. We had a lovely beachfront Villa. Rooms are a great size, had a amazing outdoor shower but the villas could certainly do with a couch inside and better lighting. They also need to supply more facecloths. Only given one each day for the two of us!The WIFI is absolutely terrible and only works in the reception area and restaurant. The daily breakfast is nice with good options but had to ask staff many times to replace items like spoons and cups as there were none to use. Also the cereals containers empty many times. Most of the staff were lovely, some could use a smile every now and then. Swim up pool bar closes way to early and we also found the food a bit of a hit and miss. Not enough options on the menu for non seafood eaters. The Fia fia night was great but would of been nice to know there was also a bbq night. Were never told about this. One last thing, housekeeping continuously waking us up at 8am each morning. Way to early!

Compared to Sheraton and Taumeasina, Saletoga food is the best. We had 4 kids under 5 and they ALL enjoyed the food. Their accomodation was very good and the staff were attentive. Full of smiles and hellos from all the staff was nice. The beach was beautiful and we all had a great time. Outdoor shower was ok, just don’t hang around cos the mozzies are vicious! lol also wear lots of repellent as due to such lush gardens, the mozzies are plenty 😅

Saletoga is about 1hour and ten minutes from the airport in a more remote part of the island (about 45 minutes from Apia). Saletoga itself was a beautiful property with a beautiful beach where you can snorkel (recommend swimming shoes). It came with kayaks and snorkelling gear. The pool was great especially for kids - and had a kids area. Due to capacity only the main restaurant was open and main bar but the food was good. The included breakfast came with both hot and cold food which was yummy. Upgraded to the beach front villas - highly recommend! Beautiful and clean rooms
