Samoa Beach Resort

About this property

Samoa Beach Resort is a beachfront resort on the western coast of Upolu, set on Entrance Road in Mulifanua — about a five-minute drive (2 km) from Faleolo International Airport, the closest hotel to the airport on the island. The resort fronts a calm Pacific lagoon and looks out toward the Mulifanua reef pass. The property is operated independently by Mulifanua Beach Resort-Samoa Limited (MBRS), the local shareholder group. From January 2026 the resort no longer trades under the Sheraton / Marriott Bonvoy brand. Guests have access to four restaurants, an outdoor pool, a private beachfront, a spa, a fitness centre, complimentary Wi-Fi, on-site laundry, daily housekeeping and 24-hour room service. A free buffet breakfast is served at Apolima Fale daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM.

• Best stays in Samoa: where to sleep across Upolu and Savai'i

  Samoa's accommodation runs the full spectrum — from family-run beach fales where you sleep open-air to the lagoon, through family-run boutique hotels in Apia, all the way to five-star resorts with overwater bungalows. Picking the right one depends entirely on what you're after: barefoot authenticity, restaurant variety, or a swim-up bar.

• Best stays in Upolu, Samoa

  Upolu is where most Samoa trips start. Faleolo International Airport, the capital Apia, and the bulk of the country's resort-tier accommodation all sit here. The south coast (Lalomanu, Lotofaga, Siumu) is the postcard side; the north has Apia and the working harbour.

• Best resorts in Samoa

  If you want pool, multiple restaurants, an actual spa and a structured kids' programme, you want a resort — and Samoa's resort tier is concentrated on Upolu's south coast plus a handful on Savai'i. Below are the published full-service properties across both islands.

• Best beaches in Samoa

  Samoa's beaches are the kind that consistently top "world's best" lists and somehow stay uncrowded. Most are on customary land — you'll pay a small village fee (typically WST 5–20) at the gate, which goes back into maintaining the site. Below: the ones our travellers come back about.

• Kitesurfing in Samoa: lessons, rentals and where to base yourself

  Samoa is not a famous kite destination, which is part of the appeal: one dedicated school, uncrowded water and lessons in English, French or Spanish. Seki Kitesurf at Sataoa, on the south coast of Upolu, is the country's only kiteboarding lessons and rental centre, run by an IKO-certified instructor.

  Spent a nice relaxing week here. Love the swim up bar at the pool. All the staff are so lovely and accommodating - Tulu made our stay that more special with recommendations/information and great conversation 😊

  Loved the staff who worked here especially Gladwel who was amazing. My Mum got quite ill and had to go to hospital for a day and Gladwel and her team were an enormous support and really looked after us both. I cant thank them enough. The resort itself was lovely, food was good, note that prices for food at resorts in Samoa is not cheap with mains from 50 to 75 WST. There were no opening windows in the room so you need to rely on air conditioning unless you are comfortable leaving your door to your patio open but even then there is no through breeze. Our TV only worked on the local channels, after several try's to to get the chromecaster to work they gave up completely so we couldnt settle in after dinner and watch a movie unless we used our own device. The WiFi worked well. The hot water finally got fixed properly on the day we were leaving. We were there for 6 nights. So some days had cold showers and then some days warm showers and a lovely hot shower on the last day. They did do their best fixing this and we got there eventually. There are two sliding doors that open out on to the patio with a stunning sea view but only one opens. The other one is locked shut and the receptionists told us the other one didnt work. Was a bit odd but we didnt worry about it too much. There was a small cockroach in our room in the cupboard where the fridge is. We only saw it once though and the rooms were clean enough as long as you arent super fussy about dust along bedheads and in corners. Beds were comfortable and sheets and towels were clean. The pool and beach were lovely and the massages we had were great.

  Disappointed in stay in July 2026 with family. Even though good proximity to airport and wharf the service is inconsistent especially in the restaurant. Took around 90 minutes to get meal on last night and some parts of meal only arrived after querying constantly. Staff were clearly stressed so it seems more staff should be employed. For the price paid food quality needs to be improved also. Everyone in our group paid cash for the meal yet one family member also had it charged to room account so it seems there are administration issues as well. This needs to be sorted, perhaps with staff training and a better chef in the kitchen. As the resort is quite isolated there are no other restaurants close by so guests rely on the food and service being of good quality. On plus side rooms are spacious and clean and it was lovely to have the bed made up on my birthday with a 'cake' made of towels and decorative 'happy birthday ' Some family members had a massage and loved it. Pool is great and every room has a view

  Spent a week at Samoa Beach Resort and we loved it. The location was absolutely stunning. Rooms were clean and service was fairly efficient. A special mention to the food & bar staff, and also to Fou who ran fantastic activities such as basket weaving, coconut jam making and language classes! Fou really showed us the warmth and friendliness of the Samoan people and left us with so many positive memories.

  We took a large group here using the day passes as advertised online. Fabulous pools, perfect for the varied ages of our children with a knee high toddler pool, a chest high pool for the younger kids and a large deep pool for the teens and adults. Good poolside seating with plenty of shade. The beach was nice too and the hotel has an outdoor shower for rinsing off. Volleyball sand court and ball was available for use and kept our crew busy between swims. Staff were very friendly and refrained from telling our feral lot off for doing the occasional bomb. We had a dedicated waiter for drinks and food orders who was friendly and relatively attentive. We were there in late June so nearly had the pool to ourselves for most of the day. Warning for day passers: Beware of being overcharged. On entry (and as advertised online) we were told that our $50 entry fee per head was to be used for food and beverage. However on departure our waiter told us that half of the entry fee was for pool use so we owed an extra $350 for lunches. We questioned this with reception and they agreed that wasn't correct and were apologetic. A disappointing dampener to what was otherwise a fantastic family outing.

  Awesome location, awesome hotel. Was late into the resort off the ferry and we were greeted by reception with smiles. Helen at checkin was awesome, and Jarell from IT who assisted us. All staff smile and say Talofa. Rooms are very spacious, but dated, modern conveniences, spa and Gym, two restaurants, bars, stunning pool and beach front. There is a gift shop and even a casino. 🎰 🎰 🎰 The grounds are stunning. Food however was the let down. Chili in the restaurant was so good, she is always smiling and knows her stuff. However, the was slow delivery of our food was a 1hr 20mins wait! Our neighbours walked out and said deliver it to their room! The food was not tasty. The Samoan Chicken Curry had hardly any meat, and tasted like a can of Keens Curry Powder. The Nasi Goreng was a disappointment too. The next day we got a 'cheesy steak' sandwich that had old foccacia bread and a tiny a 10cm round but 3mm thick slice of steak for $48 Tala! Disappointing. Wine we get for $70 Tala in other Samoan resorts was $130! So much higher pricing than other resorts and home. The Beach front has many chairs that span the length of the hotels water frontage which is probably 500-600m long. Stunning views. I really enjoy the friendliness and warmth of the Samoan people. Very welcoming and gentle smiling people. I rated the resort as 3 stars but lifted this rating to 4 stars due to the outstanding front desk team, namely Verinica and Naomi. Both very switched on assisting us with our QANTAS vouchers Warning: This hotel has no phones to call international numbers. So if your mobile carrier is not Vodofone, you are trapped. We had to call Qantas and it was like pulling teeth as our flights were lost and needed rebooking. Staff got a IT guy and we just paid them for his phone so back to 3 stars. Grateful for the staff here
