The only thing I would suggest would be a change of pillows and mattresses soon as they were a bit musty. Location though cant be beaten if you like the sound of the waves and you're walking on the sand when you step out of the fale. ##### Luisa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful rustic palm fales with ocean beach views ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ella Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Really amazing, simple place to stay ##### Ella Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clint Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely beautiful beach!, Family is extremely friendly and the food was amazing!

Breakfast included (pancakes, toast, fruit, sausages) was plentiful and tasty, filled us up for the day. The fale was comfortable and just about big enough for 2 people and our luggage. Mosquito net provided was a little hole-y but it did the job. Excellent snorkeling out on the reef which is easily accessible. Dinner and drinks at the bar were great, with friendly service. Facilities were exactly as described, basic but suitable. ##### Gareth Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### clive Jun 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place, bautiful beach, nice people ##### clive Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ros Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Tina & \[Siuna \] & family looked after us exceptionally well with beautiful home cooked breakfast & dinners , convivial bar & dining area over the lovely sandy beach - enjoyed sharing the experience with fellow travellers- our most relaxing stay in Samoa & a good base to visit Namua Island, waterfalls & To Sua Ocean Trench. ##### Ros Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean Jun 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful stay, relaxing ##### Sean Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter and Jane Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Loved the experience of being in a basic fale right on the beach in a glorious setting ##### Peter and Jane Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We absolutely LOVED our stay at Faofao Beach fales! We stayed in a fale on the beach and it was such an incredible experience that I would highly recommend. The beach is blissful and quiet (other than the sound of the crashing waves) and the road behind was not busy. We never got bored of the view! Breakfast and dinner was provided daily and the options were healthy and included fish every day which I loved! Served buffet style so we were well fed! The toilet and showers are basic but it was wonderful to have an outdoor shower looking up at the sky! No WiFi so it was nice to be "off grid" for a few days. Great location for visiting waterfalls, the ocean trench and the national park. Overall we had an amazing time and was sad to leave! Thank you so much to the wonderful family at Faofao! ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025
