Palaces in Samoa

"I absolutely cannot fault the beautiful staff at The Samoan Outrigger Hotel. They were very attentive and made my stay so enjoyable, from the lovely breakfasts to the tips and recommendations for what to do in Samoa and little chats here and there around the hotel. I had an early day trip one morning and asked if it would be possible to have a packed breakfast at 6am and the staff packed me some hard boiled eggs, crackers and a whole bunch of fruits which absolutely saved me on the ferry to Savai’i. I stayed in room 11 which had the ensuite, a mini fridge, aircon and mini patio with chairs and tables for you to seat outside and enjoy the garden. Room was cleaned everyday and though basic, had everything I needed. There is a shared kitchen and dining area for all guests just next to the pool. I really enjoyed my stay. I do want to note that the gym next door starts pumping very loud music as early as 6.30am in the morning which is not the hotel’s fault and wasn’t an issue for me as I’m an early riser but good to note that even if with the doors closed, you’d still be able to hear the music and beeping which may be an issue for guests who like to sleep in.

"We enjoy the staff hospitality. The service provided by all the staff. The rooms are always fresh and clean. The pool facilities. The conveniences of where the hotel is located."

"The staff here from the front desk, bar, kitchen housekeeping all so helpful & informative. The duty manager I didn’t get his name Fijian young man but he was so kind & helpful with suggestions. The housekeepers maintained the cleanliness of our room for our 8 night stay, they made sure to restock waters/towels bed was always perfectly remade. Complimentary breakfast buffet was also so good every morning! I would stay here again if I visit Samoa again & would definitely recommend Tanoa 10/10"

"Best property we found on the island to stay. Nothing was too much trouble and everything is maintained and kept to a high standard. Reasonable prices and nice breakfast."

"Staff went above and beyond to accomodate us after a flight cancellation. Highly recommend and food is amazing! "

"Great location to chillax for days. Quiet & beautiful lagoon. Hosts were perfect, staff were fantastic, the shows were brilliant. Food at the restaurant was high quality. Stay here if you're planning a trip to Savaii"

"Room was clean. The AC worked great! "

"The staff were very pleasant and friendly. Clean room and comfortable bed. Love the buffet breakfast and great location, close to town and market I would stay there again."

"I like to take a moment to thank the Return to Paradise family for their hospitality, kindness, responsiveness, and their attention to detail. This was my first trip to Samoa and I could not have chosen a better resort to get a true feel of Samoan hospitality, culture and vibe. The hotel name is very fitting because it’s literally paradise. If you’re planning to explore Samoa, then I would recommend getting a car since the resort is on the other side of the island (opposite side of Apia). But if you are looking for a resort that makes you feel like you’re family, provides cozy accommodations, has a private beach and amazing facilities then you need to book Return to Paradise. Thank you for making my wife’s birthday extra special."
