Best stays in Samoa: where to sleep across Upolu and Savai'i
Samoa's accommodation runs the full spectrum — from US$30-a-night 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.

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.

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

Very pleasant stay. You can swim in the sea or the pool (which was somewhat over chlorinated); beautiful outlook and setting; good menu and friendly service. Happy hour prices were good but cocktails a bit pricey at about $30. Great place to rest before or after a flight, being only 10 mins to airport (wst$30 by taxi). Great breakfast and fiafia night!

I read the negative reviews and wondered if I should cancel my stay here. In hindsight I am very happy that I didn’t! My impression of the resort is extremely positive. It is clean, the food is fantastic, amenities work absolutely fine and the staff is extraordinarily helpful and friendly. They really went the extra mile to help me with any questions or problems.

Loved our stay, this was the best place to stay in Samoa, close to the airport and ferry, but never felt like it. The staff were fantastic, going out of their way to help, top notch! Food and drinks in the suberb pool. with the warm sea and multiple private beach areas. kayaks and paddle boards to use, and swim up bar! will be going back, for sure

Just spent 2 nights there and was very quiet, which is what we were after. I've just read a few other reviews and there is definetly new management in place, we were greeted with a coconut upon arrival, check in was quick, lots of assistance with our bags etc. Room was clean and super cold. There was a kettle with coffee supplies and mini fridge with water. Shower worked well with hit water and proper sized soap, shampoo etc. Blackout curtains were so good for sleeping in. TV with lots of channels to keep us busy while in the room. The pool was the highlight! One of the nicest pools we've swam in, in Samoa and the swim up bar does a great margarita! Service was always very friendly, breakfast crew was probably the best! Only down side was the food was inconsistent, we had 1 really good meal but other times not so good, and it's quite an expensive menu so hopefully they can improve the quality of the food to match the price. Very quiet and not much else to do around the area, resort but if that's the kind of holiday you're after you should definetly stay a few nights! Didn't see the spa but it was open and so was the casino. They didn't have any buffet nights or shows as it's the quiet season but apparently do when it's peak/ more full.
