    Not knowing where to go once there, need a intercom or bell for the front reception area. Lunch wasn't great we asked for two lunch meals and it came on one plate.

    Nice breakfast, great staff.

    The place makes you feel like you are at home. The staff will make you home cooked meals and treat you like family. For the amount you pay, you receive a lot more.

    The hill going up is very steep. Our car had some repairs done so we barely made it to the top. BUT! It's still worth it ☺️

    Love the location, the view and the rooms. So far every staff who has helped us was very friendly and helpful. The owner's wife and daughter are so pleasant to talk to.

    I stayed at several places during my time in Samoa and the Dave Parker Eco Lodge was by far my favourite. I could list a hundred great things about this place, but what really made the stay so amazing was the hospitality of the staff. It's a family run hotel, and every guest is welcomed as family. They went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible - making me dinner even when I arrived back past restaurant hours, catering to room preferences, getting me in touch with a car rental service straight away before I arrived; when I had an unfortunate run-in with a traffic officer they immediately called the station on my behalf, and did everything to make sure I was ok. Other things: the breakfast was amazing, and all the lunch / dinner options were great too (and much cheaper than any restaurants in town). It is quite a sociable space - during my stay there I met lots of other visitors, some of whom are now friends for life. Goes without saying but the views really are amazing - you can see all the way over the forest to town, and the sea beyond - the sunsets are particularly spectacular. I am 24 years old (she/her) and was travelling by myself, and I always felt totally safe. This place is so much more than just a hotel. Worth every penny and more.

    The instructions on how often the rooms would be cleaned. Our room didn't need to be cleaned its' for managing our expectations.

    Absolutely love the millon dollar views from the mountain. The photos' didn't do justice to it. Breakfast was basic which is what I prefer, the eggs and pancakes were fantastic. The coco rice and the other banana drink every morning was awesome.

    Our first room had bugs, we were in nature, so that was expected, they assigned us another room and the staff moved our stuff while we were out in town!! They were all AMAZING 👏

    Lolita, our host was WONDERFUL!! She waited for our arrival at almost 3am! And every day she would drive us to town and pick us up around 3:30pm

    No shampoo and conditioner, make sure to bring your own.

    Rooms are simple but staff were all lovely and very accommodating. The view is amazing when it’s sunny as well as when a storm rolls through. Our rooms did not have air conditioning but you do not miss it, always a cool breeze off the hills. Food was great. Pool and waterfall were refreshing.

    Cannot recommend this hotel enough, staff were extremely kind, caring and treated you like family. Food from the restaurant was super yummy. Views were breathtaking. We were lucky enough to participate in cooking a traditional Samoan lunch with an umu on Sunday. There are also two beautiful dogs and a cat which is a bonus!

    Probably just the really steep drive up towards the lodge, it was just a bit scary when another car would come down and you'd have to stop on the side midway up the hill, then continue the drive up when they pass.

    Breakfast was nice and light and the view from where we'd have breakfast, lunch/dinner is always breathtaking.
