Lalomanu Beach Tours and Activities

My first time in Samoa. Saletoga has a lovely family feel so remember it isnt a big chain like Hilton or Sofitel. Positives 1. Staff are warm, friendly, respectful. 2. Wifi available in restaurant, reception, pool but not rooms. 3. Good buffet style breakfast with enough to keep you full and variety. Great fritters, donuts, mango, papaya. Had bacon once in 6 days. Juices. Or you can order from menu. 4. Water stations to refill water and keep in your fridge 5. Very clean. Id read about cocroaches and mosquitos. Didn't see any. Staff always cleaning. 6. Easy to hire a car for the day. We had a Suzuki jimney manual. 7. Fia fia night is a MUST. Only on Wednesdays. Food was lovely. Show was fun. Reasonable price. Cons 1. Could have some activities for kids eg. Rugby down by the beach or teaching them drumming or a treasure hunt or even coloring in competitions. Need more kids dvds. Maybe some balls to borrow too. The playground is cool for up to 5 year olds. 2. Have to ask bar for ice. A few ice machines installed around the resort would be fab. 3. Broken flippers need a revamp 4. More bacon!! Take some lollies to hand out as treats and bring a smile to Staff!! All tips go in one box at reception and after being split by 100 staff I doubt they get much extra.

We were very excited to stay at Taumeasina and absolutely happy with the impressive views out to the ocean. Our room was generous, it had everything we needed and we’re extremely grateful that it was close to the bar, pool and beach. The staff were very attentive and the buffet breakfast every morning was delicious with some items changing daily. Loved Fiafia night and the buffet dinner and show was amazing. Staff were very proactive and we were also kept informed of the daily activities a day in advance. We would definitely stay at Taumeasina Island Resort again…even if it’s just to do the daily activities.
