Staying in a traditional Samoan fale was awesome and the Legalo family made me feel like one of their own and the rest of the village was similarly hospitable. If you want a taste of what real life in Samoa is like, this is for you. Be sure to check out To Sua Ocean Trench and Lalomanu Beach and get plenty of time in at the bar and in the water. Salepaga is where time stands still in the best way possible. Shout out and massive thanks to Tapu, Tua, Ata, Afa, Paei, Saia, AJ, Talent and everyone else who made this an unforgettable experience. ##### Nicholas Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Feb 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Exellent location right on beach.

Great stay on the beach. Stayed in a fales, right on the beach…the surf may have been a bit noisy, but the view was incredible. Fales are very basic accommodations, a mattress, sheets and mosquito net. I think they have a/c units, but not on the beach. Breakfast was included and good. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean Jun 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful stay, relaxing ##### Sean Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Amenities Beautifully situated fales on the beach to enjoy a slice of paradise.

Beautiful location, totally "beach on doorstep" location. A bit tricky for non-Pasifika" folks who need a little more in the way of somewhere to sit in the fale or on the beach.

Fale was clean and safe considering that we had a strong rain and as the weather wasn't so good, we could hear the strong sound of the waves. But felt very safe inside the Fale. Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there. The bathroom could be much better as everything seems a bit left behind. Curtains for the girls' bathroom made me feel like I couldn't get my underwear off as the bathroom can be seen from the street. The floor is poor and could be fixed. ##### Jéssica Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison May 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Dinner and breakfast healthy, varied and great. Host fanily very friendly and obliging. Place consists of beach fales, with basic toilet block across road. Also a green concrete block of about 12 rooms 2 storeyed, most with aircon Green block equivalent to a budget backpacker. All kept clean and place quiet. Sometimes family puts on dance shows at night. Under cover cafe like structure on beach front where meals are held, as well as relaxing anytime by the beach. Tea or coffee available but forget your capaccino. Good place to talk to locals and family about their life and 2009 tsunami time. Tips for improvement for rooms ..some more pillows for beds, a plastic table so you dont have to use the floor for items, and maybe some bright flowery local material as a bedspread to brighten up rooms would be good. Overall a good stay for couple nights. ##### Alison Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ajay Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities People runni g the place are very ki d and helpful.
