Vaitele Hotels

"This resort is in a stunning location and has great potential. The views are beautiful and the grounds well maintained. Rooms are a good size and all (I think) face the ocean. The staff are friendly and welcoming (as you expect in Samoa!). I believe the property is recently under new management - when I visited (Easter Sunday 2026) it seemed surprisingly quiet. I hope that the new owner/management (?) builds on these foundations. For me, obvious steps include: - Food offerings that better reflect fresh local produce and are more inspiring/unique - Cocktails that are more memorable and again have some with local individuality - Culture - find ways to show a little more oflocal culture, history and nature. Ultimately this was a nice place to stay on my last night in Samoa - with a v early from the airport next door - and would similarly be a good place if arricing too. "

"Incredible beach view from the villas and pool. Absolute gorgeous sunset from the property. They could do better in getting rid of the cats and dogs on the property though. Fijian Bartender Absolute loved his vibe! Disappointed that i paid 3 extra roll out beds and got none.. They need more reception staff"

"Room wasn't ready at check-in time. We arrived about an hour prior to check-in, they said they'd send housekeeping to the room immediately. We left to do some shopping and returned after our actual check-in time, and still had to wait another 30mins or so for the room to be ready. Room was reasonably clean but smelled damp and musty. No body wash in the shower, had to call housekeeping to send some up. Beds were comfortable. Had some issues with what was included in the room rate with Expedia and what the hotel had in their system. I paid a higher room rate to have one-way airport transfer included for 4 guests and a WST$50 hotel credit. There was no hotel credit, and when we checked out at 4.30am ready for our transfer I was informed they only had payment for one person's transfer in their booking system. I wasn't asked to pay again there and then, but I didn't receive the friendliest of farewells... "

"This was a serene little spot, felt very safe here as a solo traveler. Staff were kind, everything was clean and the pool was great. My only complaint would be that it was so noisy every night! The chickens and dogs were going off constantly and I slept very poorly even with earplugs in. Would be fine for a heavy sleeper though! "

"The gym was quite well equiped however there was really no place to do yoga or stretch, especially when busy. The room was well sized with a good layout. There are 2 pools - both very close to the dining/bar area - suggest during meal times that one pool is for children and 1 for adults. The manager - Nathan I believe - made a point to speak to his customers and certainly knew his staff well. A great choice to stay in when in Apia. "

"Staff are amazing and so lovely. Property is tidy and clean"

"Car park area needs to be expanded so more vehicles can park safely "

"Male bar staff were very rude & very unfriendly, they had an attitude issue towards us, shouldn’t be working in this area of industry, I found them to be quite annoying "

"The room I believe was nice but the first room we were givens aircon wasn't working. The breakfast menu was very limited and the room service continuosly interrupt us early and more than necessary throughout the day. "
