I just don't understand the people writing in and saying bad things about Virgin Cove, quite simply, your crazy if you don't love this place! If you have 5 star aspirations and are expecting your sheets to be turned down and flower petals spread on your bed, go stay at a hotel as you will be dissapointed. If you love... More

The website shows a amazing location showing from the bungalows to the beach, it does not show you the mess behind the bungalows that do not make this place feel like the resort you are PAYING for! The service was awful especially from the manager, who wasted a day of our time in Samoa. After talking to locals around the... More

We stayed at the Virgin cove resort 5 nights in august. The best : the place on a white sand beach and a blue see, the paradise! However, we found the fale price (very basic) and the drinks and food (the hotel is far away of everything) expensif. Furthermore, all the staff was very nice and helpful except the lady... More

This is my second review. My first has not been published. To frank??I wish that I had read the review I first tried to leave. This is a picture perfect location. The beach and location is amazingly beautiful, however, the grounds and the accommodations are HORRID!!! We stayed in the"Deluxe Beach Villa". It was more like a delapitated shack. It... More

We visited Virgin Cove during August 2011 for the first time in over a year and were appalled at how the management have let the resort go to ruin. We stayed in the Beach Villa, and while the views at the front are magnificent, and the fact that it is situated on a most idyllic secluded beach should all add... More

I sometimes wonder if I visit a different place to other reviewers. Virgin Cove is a pristine perfect location with great accommodation that blends into the natural surroundings wonderfully. Where else can you step out from your fale onto a beach with noone else overlooking you? We stayed in one of the beach bungalows which was spacious, clean, quiet, naturally... More

These operators have no clue how to run a resort ! No service what so ever but charges an arm and a leg. Food was absolutely terrible and damn right dangerous .... life threatening. The standard in the fales is below rating. These are the people who ruins the reputation of the hospitality and tourism industry for Samoa !! They... More

Our visit to Virgin Cove - July August 2011 Virgin Cove has seriously deteriorated over recent times. It is run down, poorly maintained and fit only for bottom-end backpacking. Advertising on the net promises an idyllic experience; however, our July 2011 experience at the Cove was a total disappointment. It is unclean and arguably unsafe due to makeshift electrical fittings... More

We have just come back from spending a week at Virgin Cove in one of the secluded fales. We had a very relaxing time there and will definately be back. Virgin Cove is lucky in having a location on a lovely beach with great snorkelling. There are plenty of trees for shade and the resort is spread out so that... More
