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.

  We stayed here for 2 nights before catching the ferry to Savaii. I think this is a great spot for a stopover and would stay again. Service at the restaurant was slow, but the pool is beautiful and there is a surprisingly lovely beach. Our kids aged 7 and 11 had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave. Our room was older but very clean with a great view and very comfortable. Don't expect 5 star luxury, but do expect a great start or end to your holiday!

  Fantastic rooms - clean, well serviced, big, and comfy. A 5 minute drive from the airport, the resort also has a shuttle for $15 pp. I enjoyed being right in the beach as well as having a large pool with swim up bar. I was truely relaxed here. My only let downs were I would’ve liked more Samoan food options on the menu and the restaurant and drinks were very expensive.

  Fantastic stay at Samoa Beach Resort. We booked two rooms over two days and enjoyed great meals, comfortable dining areas, clean rooms, and prompt service. Staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. We took full advantage of everything the resort offered — from the breakfast buffet to the fun activities, relaxing pool time, & beautiful beach swims. The location is ideal: less than five minutes to the airport and the Savai’i ferry, and about 30 minutes to Apia for shopping, meeting locals, and soaking up Samoa’s vibrant atmosphere. We loved it and will definitely return.

  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.

  Our stay at Samoa Beach Resort was wonderful. We had a small hiccup when we first arrived, so we asked to speak with the manager. George came to greet us and couldn't have been more helpful. He resolved our minor issue quickly and then went above and beyond to ensure the rest of our stay was smooth and enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the breakfast was outstanding, and George even made sure we had our transfer organised to our next hotel at the end of our stay. His genuine care and excellent customer service made all the difference. The resort has a beautiful, safe beach that's perfect for swimming and relaxing, as well as a fantastic pool, making it an ideal destination for guests of all ages. Samoa Beach Resort is the perfect place to start or finish a holiday in Samoa. Its close proximity to the airport makes it incredibly convenient, yet it still offers a peaceful tropical atmosphere. I would highly recommend this resort to families, couples and solo travellers alike. We were genuinely sorry to leave after seven wonderful days and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thanks George and your wonderful team!
