    We coudnt connect to chromecast, but wasn't too worried about it. Breakfast was ok and simple, though i wish there were more island dishes.

    A beautiful and clean hotel. Friendly service all around each departments. I rocked up around lunch time and my room was ready which I was so thankful for. I also requested a late check was no problem, I really appreciated this. I had a beautiful view of the cruise ship from my window. Best location opposite the water, and walking distance to town. This is the first hotel I been to in Samoa that has an elevator. The lobby is so beautiful and well decorated. Thank you Lava Hotel, you all deserve a raise.

    Husband and I had no expectations and just wanted somewhere to enjoy our time together. Lava met all our needs and can't think of anything we didn't like.

    My husband and I loved everything that was in your evaluation PLUS the convenience of the restaurant onsite. So good! The Fiafia night was outstanding. Unfortunate the caterer wasn't able to make but such a great night. The swimming pool was amazing! Loved being able to come back to the room at the end of the day and take a much need dip. The breakfast was so good. Took the hassle away from going elsewhere to eat breakfast. The convenience of the airport shuttle was a bonus too. The wifi was awesome, no problems with vid calling home (Aotearoa) each night. There was loads of parking for our rental. Apia centre was so close, took husband and I, no more than, 10 minutes to walk into town. Special shout out to your staff! They were amazing. So friendly and helpful.

    The lack of gluten free menu options and the lack of advertised wine options. We were told "it's an old menu"

    Modern new. We stayed at 3 hotels and the beds were so luxurious and much better comfort and quality that the other much more expensive hotels.

    Service from the car park to the front desk to the wait staff and porters was excellent . Courteous. Friendly. Warm. Inviting. Attentive at all times.

    Our room was very noisy due to the wind blowing through the slats at the end of the corridor. All night we heard a loud whistle. Great lunch on the first day but after that the quality of the meals dropped. Awful pizza

    Breakfast buffet wasn’t great. Limited selection & most times the food was cold. The restaurant & bar are hit or miss. Sometimes the food & service are ok - other times it’s not. Long wait times & food is average. Got raw chicken & then waited 40 minutes for another meal.

    Great location & facilities. The staff at reception were helpful with booking taxis etc. Rooms were clean & facilities were well maintained.

    The chlorine level in the pool did not seem very high- not a deal breaker but made the water feel a bit odd.

    Staff were very friendly and explained everything we needed to know up front. High cleanliness standard as well.
