Spent an amazing few nights at Faofao fales. The fale is right on the beach and a great place to relax. The family that run these fales are very friendly and beautiful hosts. The meals were so tasty and enjoyed lovely cocktails on the eating area veranda looking out over the ocean. Will definitely return here. The mosquito nets were intact, the mattresses comfortable and the shared bathroom facilities were well kept and cleaned. The location is close to To Sua trench and lolmanu beach however the Faofao beach is so beautiful i was happy to spend time there. Cant wait to return!

Good fales, wake up to gorgeous beach, swim or good snorkeling, then a nice breakfast. Lovely family runs it, who provide great & friendly service - even a band one night. Bar & restaurant right on the water, looking out to the ocean and along the beach. Highly recommend! 👌

Tina & [Siuna ] & family looked after us exceptionally well with beautiful home cooked breakfast & dinners , convivial bar & dining area over the lovely sandy beach - enjoyed sharing the experience with fellow travellers- our most relaxing stay in Samoa & a good base to visit Namua Island, waterfalls & To Sua Ocean Trench.

Friendly helpful staff. We stayed in the accommodation block. Beachfront fales were another cheaper option. Not luxurious but in keeping with its charging. It has a large communal dining room where it was easy to chat with other guests. Good basic breakfast and dinner were included with our Expedia booking.

STUNNING. Real authentic Fale stay with an awesome Samoan family. This is not the place to stay if you like resorts. But if you like sleeping three steps away from the most beautiful beach in the world, and eating yum authentic food, this is the place for you

I stayed in one of the air conditioned rooms. While I understand that staying in a local accomodation I cannot expect luxury, I thought for the price I paid the accomodation was really really basic. No bath towel or soap in the bathroom. A single sheet on the bed. The bathroom did not seem clean. And multiple cockroaches in my room. I ended up leaving a day
early because I felt so uncomfortable here. I heard from other guests that they liked the fales so perhaps those are the better option here. I have photos of the room and cockroach but don’t have an option to upload these.

Location wonderful but booked three 'fales' but there was only two availble despite having oaid for "three rooms" via Hotels.com. Tried to squeeze me into one of the fales witj my adult son. Eventually gave me a room away from the beach which was terrible. Filthy dirty bathroom, no soap, no towels, etc

Staying in a fale overlooking the beach and ocean is an incredible experience I will never forget. Falling asleep to the waves crashing and star lit night sky was perfect. Mosquito net provided for the real deal. Takes 2-3 hours from the airport. Simple dinner and breakfast. Staff very warm and welcoming. Would recommend if you are after a simple but memorable experience

Suffice it to say that we left after two hours to go to a real resort nearby, which they suggested as an alternative (😉) and which luckily had a room for us. Of course, since we checked in we lost the right to ask for at least a partial refund. They have many wonderful reviews and decent pictures so we thought the place must be basic but charming. Big mistake, it's simply a scam which doesn't help Samoa's image or economy. Luckily we ended up in a great resort a short drive away (Aga Reef Resort) where we stayed wonderfully and had the vacation we where looking for.

There was confusion amongst the staff upon check-in as to what meals would be included in the half-board that was included in the reservation. The breakfast was very nice, the facility basic but clean and quiet. Very relaxing to wake up next to the sea.
