Best hotel in Samoa

After significant research on all of the 4/5 star hotels in Samoa, Taumeasina is by far the best and most luxurious on the island of Upolu. The resort service is best in class and the daily activities are very informative and relevant to the Samoan culture. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, air conditioning works very well, bathrooms are large. The pool area is very nice and the private beach is even better. Breakfast buffet is great and they have local dishes available. Proximity to downtown Apia is 5-7 minutes by car. Very central to the main market and grocery stores. Overall, highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Located about 45 minutes from Faleolo Airport, the resort is beautifully designed and uniquely set on its own private island. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere throughout our stay. One of the highlights was having the option to swim either in the resort’s pools or enjoy the tranquility of its private beach—both offering a great way to unwind. The resort is also in a fantastic central location, just a short 5–15 minute drive from some of Apia’s most popular restaurants, and only 10 minutes from the vibrant Fugalei Markets—a must-visit for a taste of local culture. The only real letdown was the buffet breakfast. For an island resort, we expected a wider selection of fresh tropical fruit such as pineapple, watermelon, mangoes, and rockmelon. Unfortunately, the fruit offering was limited to dried coconut, apples, starfruit, and breadfruit. Room cleanliness could also be improved, as it seemed like daily vacuuming was needed but not done consistently. Aside from these small issues, we had a fantastic trip and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend it for a relaxing getaway in Samoa. ☺️

We loved our stay at Taumeasina Our room was lovely , clean and the bathroom was perfect, nice big shower and water pressure and temp perfect. The resort it self was awesome , nice 2 pools and the snorkeling was magical. We recommend doing the kayak to the cute little island with the activity crew , saw turtles and a cute bird on the island. The restaurants and bar didn't disappoint, cocktails were delish recommended the island one and the food was yummy. Gluten free options available which made it easy and the seafood was so fresh. All and all I can't recommend this resort enough, we will be back. Quick taxi ride to Apia (usually around 10 tala) Thankyou for the perfect stay.

Beautiful property, close to town. Probably the nicest hotel on the island. Only complaints were that the refrigerator/freezer was smelly, which made the room smell - and one of the shower doors did not close all the way, making it easy to flood the bathroom floor. Excellent customer service. Breakfast buffet had a nice variety. Restaurant food was good. Excellent AC. The washer/drier in the 3bdrm villa was a huge bonus. Nice sized fridge/freezer. Nice private patio facing the lagoon. The resort provides lots of scheduled activities and a daily newsletter. A fantastic experience, overall. I would stay here again.
