Not an easy access to the sea.

The pool was open 24/7 and it was right next to the bar and restaurant that closes at 8.30pm. The fales were a good size and the bed was comfortable

Probably would’ve liked more comfortable beds and layout of villas. Kitchen, toilet, bathroom all in one.

Staff was good, bar had good music & the food for lunch/dinner was yum!

Stayed in January 2024

The rest of the food wasn’t great, the shower wasn’t hot on first couple days, the room was overpriced and I was charged more than what I was advised by booking.com

The people and the view, breakfast was good. Island tour guides Sam and John were very good

The receptionist had little customer service. Fridge in bathroom, with cups, teaspoon, and sauces on the sink, one flush of the toilet, you could imagine all the airborne contamination happening. Toilet was leaking really bad that it flooded, we went front desk, receptionist said someone would come, waited entire day, nobody came, so my husband had to do some fixing. Lucky ground ws concrete. The red sheet on the bed has to go. They should really stick with white only.

Location of Fales. The shower made it look tropical. Bar and restaurant. People behind were really good, i think her name was Temukisa and the other male server. The pool area was being cleaned daily. The mosquito net helped a lot. Good experience in the Fale, but definitely not for me.

I didn’t like how the kids menu never changes and there is only 2 options.

I liked how it is so close to the ocean and there was a pool.

Stayed in January 2024

Kayaks broken paddles Run down Bar doesn’t serve classic cocktails Pool had broken bits of tiles on the floor which hurt our feet Dirty bandaids on the ground Smokers in the public communal eating areas Hot water not working and poor explanation of wat the cause was Pillows smelt dirty like they had not been cleaned or replaced since last guests

Limited menu

Amazing beachside villa, with semi private beach! Beds were comfy.

Stayed in January 2024

The location is good, the staff were friendly and helpful. It was a good experience to stay in a traditional fale

Stayed in December 2023

Quite tired and requires lots of maintenance. Euro Fallie on lean. Volcanic Rock in shower so a bit tuff on the feet. Great pool. Lots of the coral in front of the resort is broken. Expensive for what you get.

Good location

Our 3rd stay. A shame that the natural white sand beaches have had to give way to rock walls to protect the resort from the effects of climate change. Unfortunately remediation work was still in progress when we stayed this time. The resort should have indicated this and provided a greater discount for the period of the work. We look forward to the work being completed and the resort returning to the great place it can be.

Great staff, great location.

Great Location, Nice pool and friendly helpful staff.

The room had paper thin walls, could hear the neighbours snoring all night

The people are good, food and drink reasonably priced

GOOD

This is was the most expensive accommodation for us but our least favourite. There was no clean-up done around the trees and entrances which meant flies were everywhere, leaking pipes, blocked drains, uncomfy beds, unclean sheets (pillow cases smelled like old, damp sweat), breakfast could have had more options (again, you don't get what you're paying for). Apart from that, the views are beautiful, staff were great and the water right at your doorstep.

This place has so much potential to be a 5 star resort. There is a lot of maintenance that needs to be done. It was almost like the owners had given up on the place, unsure if this was covid related. I was concerned about the water coming out brown. I did not trust the tap water at all. Our phone in our room wasn't working. I do hope this place comes back to its full potential because it really is a beautiful location.

Loved the location! the highlight of my trip in Samoa was waking up right next to the beach. beautiful sunrises & sunsets.

Stayed in August 2023

Loved Stephenson when we went in 2019. Disappointed in demise of property. Menu very poor, very little local content and unchanging. Restaurant closed before due time leaving us unfed.

Proximity to beach

Stayed in September 2023

Unfortunately we were extremely hungry so it did not help that the food was uncooked or over cooked missing lots of flavors and didn't finish any of our meals

Our family absolutely loved the villas, beautiful views and away from the bar and dunning area. The outside shower was a treat after swimming in the sea.

Stayed in October 2023

We felt the resort was a little tired overall. The pool and deck area need some work with decking boards moving as you walked on it. We would have like a few traditional Samoan additions to our meals ie Breadfruit or Taro leaves in Coconut Milk

Beach and swimming were fantastic, we enjoyed the snorkeling everyday in front of our Fale and the bonus of seeing Turtles most days. The staff were really friendly and helpful and Fale was clean with a great view

Stayed in September 2023

tired, staff not helpful, no communication on amenities. need to ask other guests, nothing near so need car or taxi

big room on the water, nice big bathroom with large fridge and tea making area

Stayed in August 2023

It is quite run down and needs a lot of maintenance. It would be very nice if it was up-kept. It’s kind of gross having a fridge and kettle in the bathroom next to the toilet (fales)

The location and breakfast was nice.

Stayed in September 2023

The pool is quite murky. The dinner menu was twice the price of the lunch menu (with some of the same meals) we ate at a different resort which was cleaner, fresher and cheaper. Lots of rubbish throughout the gardens.

Location and room presentation

Stayed in September 2023

Our room was not serviced so had to order fresh towels. The pool could have done with a clean or top up as lots of people using the pool but never saw anyone clean it

Loved the breakfast especially panikeke and other meals we ordered was really nice

Stayed in September 2023

We had no hot water in our room for two days and one of our basins in the bathroom was blocked, so there was an awful smell in the bathroom throughout. The meals were very disappointing. A limited selection and food was poorly prepared. Overall very expensive for what was provided.

Beautiful location with a stunning beach.

Stayed in August 2023

Food quite average for price. Didn’t always have hot water.

Rooms were lovely overlooking the beach. Good pool with shade.
