The staff were so friendly and helpful. Girls at reception were eager to help. Dining and bar staff were so friendly and good at their job. Owner may need to do some basic maintenance on deck lounges by the waterfront. One deck lounge missing a leg, the other had a rotten leg which made it wonky. The door between the two rooms in the family room needs to be soundproofed. You could hear every word in the next room. A big plus was the free shuttle to and from the airport. We would definately stay there again.

As per many of the other reviews, this “resort” has seen better days. It is tired. Almost all staff were lovely but everything else was fairly average. If you only Need a couple of days of accom before going elsewhere then go for it but If you’re expecting a glamorous resort like in the photos and in the advertising then shop elsewhere.

Misleading!
The resort says it is beach front which is misleading. I chose an oceanfront villa but it does not have an accessible beach. They did not clean the room at all the whole 5 days I was there, did not come get the trash, nor give clean towels. We had to get new towels at the front desk and take our own trash out of the room. One of the days, there was no water at all on the entire resort and when there was water, hot water was scarce. Staff was not helpful. They gave us wrong information in regard to tourist sites and would not assist in calling or making reservations for activities for us. The breakfast consisted of the same thing everyday which included unripe fruits, pancakes, and french toast. I would not call this place a resort. Would not recommend.

The entrance is great, perhaps covid let the rest of the property become run down but it looks like it is slowly being revamped. We stayed in a garden villa which was air conditioned and comfy, but lots of bugs around (if your not a bug person). The food was average but the service was great.

Staff were friendly but services are very basic. A place to lay your head, but not really a resort like others we have experienced. Was difficult to get a couple of extra towels and felt a little uncomfortable asking for things. Also a little isolated if you don't have transport. Cocktails were great and the bar tender was very nice.

Our stay was ok. The resort needs lots of maintenance There is a Lack of sun lounges and the squabs were old . The food was very average snd the Lobster Mornay the worst meal I had ever had. I raised it with reception staff but they weren’t interested! The cats and dogs parading thru the restaurant was less than appealing especially when 4 cats jumped on table to finish someone’s scraps!!! The rooms were comfortable. The location lovely The staff very pleasant and helpful and the resort bus was great to get into Apia.

Good value
Pool, outdoor lounge chais and kayaks were great! Garden villa was a bit musty and shower water is either cold or scalding. The AC is nice, bed is comfy and we were happy to have a fridge and kettle in the room. The vista from the pool is very expansive, swimming in the sea at sun set was epic. They have room cleaning daily which is a plus. Breakfast included is good amdthey have a good book exchange. Fiafia night was aweome! Staff is super friendly.

Garden villas are a bit run down although clean and tidy. Some glasses in the villa and maybe a tray. box of tissues, little things like reading lights. More consistency with meals, ie if you ordered the same meal on different night it wasn't the same. More staff knowledge of tours and more brochures, even trying to get a rental car. (we ended up getting one ourselves. Staff didn't seem to know what is what as far as the rest of the island goes, ie where/how do you swim with the turtles, how do we get to Savii. Although staff were very pleasant, and we did enjoy our stay.

Lovely little resort but not 4 star for us
This is marketed as a 4 star beach resort however not all rooms are 4 star, more like 3 star and the “beach” is covered by water 90% of the time with rocks and coral... staff are extremely friendly and helpful. There is no grass or communal television area or snack bar. Food at the restaurant was good. Larger of the pool is dangerous as the stairs have no railing or anti slip tiles on them, my husband found out the hard way when he slipped and fell bruising his coccyx and hip. Area around the pool is tiled which is very dangerous when wet. It is awesome that they provide kayaks for free, we saw so many fish, starfish, anemones and sea cucumbers.

Poor Customer Service
Being that I had family business to tend to at a nearby village, Le Uaina seemed to be a perfect fit. Check in was smooth, even in the pouring rain. Room at check in was clean however never once in my 5 day stay was the room cleaned or new towels ever given. I invited my brothers to attend the Fiafia Night dinner & show and was deeply disappointed in the service. I had to ask twice for drinks as it seemed my server was too busy talking it up with the Australians who were staying at the resort rather than serving us. It was almost as if they didnt want to serve us as it looked like I bothered them when I asked a second time for drinks and had to get up at that fact. Highly disappointed in the service or lack there of. I am a fellow Samoan who would like to contribute to our own development when I am on island and have stayed at numerous hotels in Apia but have never experienced the poor quality of service I have until this stay. Needless to say, sorry LeUaina but you lost my business and that of my family.

Disappointing Holiday
Staff in the bar and restaurant were amazing. View from restaurant lovely. Pool great. Everything else very disappointing. Arrived to a room that was not what I was expecting. Was supposed to have pool view and 2 double beds and was told this does not exist even though that is what was clearly written on my Expedia printout. Had a very run done room with old pillows and very old uncomfortable bed. Yuck!!!!!!!! Mosquito from the pond also.Manger was none existent to sort this. Was promised 3 days in a row that he would see me. In the end I upgraded and paid to do so to ensure our holiday was not a total disaster. Snorkeling was supposed to be great but was hopeless. You had to go soooooo! far out that most people did not go because of current and distance. I would never stay there again or recommend it to anyone. Wifi hopeless. Shame the manager gets his staff to lie for him as most of them are very lovely people.

Very peaceful place in beach and garden setting, off the 'tourist' track. Our garden villa was perfect for the two of us needing a good rest. The private beach was perfect for swimming and free kayaks on offer were great fro exploring the coral reef. Live music outside each night was a treat - and the fiafia was very professional. Food & drinks options on site were limited but more than satisfactory. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Comfortable resort with own beach
We stayed 5 nights here. Not a busy resort so at times felt like we had it all to ourselves. Our room was a family room so joined to our neighbours by an interconnecting door. This had drawbacks as we could hear what the other guests there were saying, even at 4 am. Staff were very friendly and helpful, food at lunch and dinner very tasty though breakfast abit stodgy. Good entertainment every night. Sea was very warm and we walked through it to the Cave pools. Snorkeling out on the reef OK. Very efficient pickup and drop off to airport. 3.50 tala to get the local bus to Apia, we did hire a car for two days through the front desk. We hear the resort is being upgraded next year. We would stay here again like it is, though the water pressure in the shower needs to be looked at.

Beautiful location but
The waterfront location on its own bay was spectacular and the availability of kayaks, and friendliness of staff was great. Unfortunately there were issues with one of the rooms we booked, and the mattress in the room we were moved to, which meant moving twice during our 6 day stay and the language barrier of the staff created some issues for us. The Resorts restaurant was very average for food, great for drinks.The Resort was about 35-40 mins drive away from Apia and any other food outlet so we did a lot of travelling for meals which meant not so much relaxation.

Great location - friendly staff
The hotel is small and staff are friendly. Evening meals are good quality with entertainment and kava on the side. The swimming out front is Ok - lots of fish though reef is a long way from shore. The oceanfront villa was very comfortable. Hotel is 1/2 hour from Apia - which is great - though you need to factor this in as you will need a hire car.
