Manase hotels from HK$596

"Large areas of the resort are run down and abandoned. The are holes in the deck around the pool. Wifi is only available at reception and is intermittent at best. For the price you will get better amenities staying in a Beach Fale instead. That said, the staff did everything they could to help us have an enjoyable stay - but there's not much they can do when the place hasnt been maintained in more than a decade"

"Savaii Lagoon is a truly tropical island resort, it is picture perfect in an incredible setting. I travelled from Australia with my three tall teenage children, and the villa was ideal for us with two single beds and a queen. The space was generous, with air-con and a large ceiling fan so we all slept very comfortably. The staff, beach, and views were outstanding. The restaurant is set beautifully over the water and the food was absolutely excellent. Lots of fun activities on offer to keep the kids happy. It’s worth saying that visitors should accept that this is Samoa and while everything is clean and comfortable, it may not reflect the highest quaility build standards of other countries. You come here for the natural beauty, culture and the people! I highly recommend Savaii Lagoon Resort for a beautiful island holiday :)"

"Titi was so friendly and welcoming. She made us the best food we ate in Samoa. Yes the accomodation and facilities were basic but hearing the waves lapping just a few meters from where we slept paradise. Beautiful area to swim and even had turtles pop up to say hi. Would go back for sure it really is paradise"
