Resort was nice but staff need to be a little bit more friendly and inviting. First time at the resort and it was beautiful however Service was not great especially from the villas, I wasn’t able to share much about my time at Saletoga until I got better service. But overall was a great experience.

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
We loved our stay at Saletoga for our honeymoon. The staff are all so lovely, kind and very helpful. We loved the free breakfast in the morning and love the lunch menu and eat in the restaurant most days. The facilities had great options! Snorkelling, kayaking etc...
Overall the resort is clean and tidy and very welcoming. Thank you Saletoga for a lovely stay, we will be back! :)

We had to cancel unfortunately as flights from Brisbane were cancelled due to cyclone
We love returning back to Saletoga as we know everything is amazing. The service, the tidy spaces, beautiful views, awesome accommodation, beautiful food and most of all the relaxed atmosphere! The whole place is well maintained and beautiful gardens.
One of our favourite resorts in Samoa and we have stayed at most of them.
A must stay if you visit the beautiful paradise of Samoa.
A great place to stay for families. The accommodation was amazing, especially the outdoor shower. The breakfast choices were incredible. Loved the kayaking and swimming pool.
A beautiful location and great room with outside shower option. So clean and tidy. Lovely clean swimming pool and the beach on your doorstep. The barbecue dinner was outstanding. Everyone who worked there is kind and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.
A very beautiful property. Beautiful beach right out the front with snorkeling right in front of you. 2 restaurants to choose between the themed buffet or a la carte. Room was very spacious with all the necessities. It would be nice to have maybe a couch inside to relax on, as one chair isn’t very good for 2 people. Same with outside, we had two chairs and a table, but only one lounge to relax outside. Pool was quite warm so not so good for cooling off, but great for a night swim. Resort was amazing for relaxing, but didn’t offer a lot of activities if you want to do things there (plenty of tours available on select days at attractions). We are a pretty active couple so got bored after a couple days. Not much around if you don’t have transport so eating at the restaurant can get pricey but food was delicious and the breakfast was nice.
We really enjoyed our stay at Saletoga Resort! The staff were very friendly and accommodating and we also enjoyed the spa! Highly recommend this resort to anyone staying in Samoa looking for a relaxing holiday.

resort is OK, not the 5-star it claims to be though. Service is slow, "island time" is standard. location is challenging and a long way from any proper services or activities.
Outside of the resort the island is dirty and littered with trash. The island paradise is covered in bits of rubbish littered along the road sides. The roads are in poor condition resulting in very low speed limits. Feral animals (dogs, cows, pigs and more) roam freely.
Would rank as third place in the three south pacific island locations we have holidayed at.
Definitely best place I have stayed in Samoa. Great team of people who work there - in all areas of the resort. The villas are huge and comfy. The beach is great for snorkelling and swimming all day (not tide dependent). We had great massages and facials in the Spa. But the best is the food. AMAZING pastries at breakfast and great food all day for all meals. If you want a lazy relaxing break in Samoa this would be the place for you.
You need to be aware that if you wanted to do anything else on the island you would need a car or you can join one of the tours organised by the resort. (We had a car so visited the giant clams, waterfall/swimming hole. RSL museum etc under our own steam. )
