We are a family of 4 who have just returned from a stay at Sa Moana. Some aspects of our holiday were great with the highlight being the Fia Fia night, other areas were a real disappointment. I have not commented on Trip Advisor before but feel that I must this time to perhaps help future guests whilst making a... More

Went with my wife and two adult children for a week and while the location is very good and the staff very pleasant and friendly there were a few things that took the edge off. Firstly, you are only provided a bottle of water each on the day of your arrival. After that you have to buy it. Even in... More

We had travelled back after a year since last visit and it has dramatically changed. The new owners Daniel and Kirsten are great and have made some positive changes to the resort. The service is impeccable, the food amazing and the Saturday night fiafia show is the best in Samoa. I have been to all of them and trust me... More

Great position, beautiful snorkelling, excellent swimming hole, kind and friendly staff, and authentic Samoan experience. Good surf break and the sounds of waves as a lullaby. A wonderful family holiday. More

Like Lucy & Grant I almost didn't book because of a negative rating but like them chose to ignore it which I am glad that I did. I went by myself mainly to surf & just chill out. The poolside Fale was ideal for me & had an amazing view not only of the pool but also of the sea.... More

Best Fia Fia we have been to in Samoa! Very accomodating staff/ management which made our visit very relaxing. Good surf and helpful guides who went out of their way to get us the best waves. Nice wave directly in front of the resort which you can easily paddle to - Not so common in samoa. More

I felt welcome from the time i stepped into the resort! The owners were lovely and the service was great. The view was amazing and you were right there on the water front. Great view from the main dining area and not the hustle and bustle, of some other resorts. it was very relaxing and couldn't of asked for better... More

We nearly didn't make it to Sa Moana due to the somewhat extravagantly degrading review from another guest but ignore them we did and I'm SO glad! Firstly, Sa Moana Resort couldn't be in a more BEAUTIFUL location, a stunning place with your typical coconut trees, lovely beach, hibiscus plants and extremely well maintained and decorated! Every morning the grounds... More

“Better in photos!” Reviewed 1 February 2012 NEW We visited Sa'Moana Resort January 2012. We booked for 10 nights for our family of five. It was to be a great and long awaited relaxing holiday as the photos, description and email communications with previous managers had been highlighted as good value for money. It was only after we arrived, we... More
