September 2025 I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by your transit hotel during our recent stay. The receptionist was extremely courteous and accommodating, offering us a refreshing drink upon arrival and allowing us to extend our stay until 12noon on the same day. This flexibility was greatly appreciated, as it enabled us to relax and prepare for our onward journey. I also noted that your hotel offers airport pick-up and drop-off services to Mulifanua, which is a convenient amenity for guests. The receptionist's professionalism and friendly demeanor made our stay very comfortable, and I regret not catching her name to express my gratitude personally. Please extend my thanks to her for her excellent service. 🌟

Aircon was perfect, opposite the Samoa Beach Resort, close to airport, wharf, shops, restaurant's and etc Their Restaurant cooks beautiful dinner, staffs were brilliant especially that palagi and the staff from Satapuala at front desk, more shops at Mulifanua. Rooms were clean except one shower due to insects can access inside the rooms. Car park was good but people don’t know how to park. They are building the swimming pool hopefully it will be ready soon. There’s wifi at reception and restaurant area.

Always a pleasure at this hotel. Everything is what you paid for. So convenient to the wharf and the airport and has a shuttle bus service as well. I just wish they have variety of foods including some salads. That said, their fried chicken is better than KFC. LOVE the place and the team❤️🙏

Everything started fine, very friendly staff, quick check-in, convenient location and a shuttle to the airport. A nice meal from the restaurant too. It's when I woke the next morning and there were 100's of little black flies in the room that made me disappointed. Also when I took a shower the water sprayed everywhere, after which I discovered it was flowing into the bedroom! Just as well I didn't have things on the floor. Anyway get those things sorted and I would be happy to stay there again.

I guess the price was a guide, but we wanted somewhere close to the airport on our last night in Samoa, for an early morning flight the next day. The room we were given was near the back of the property and the wi-fi didn't reach that far back, so no wi-fi. The room was very basic with no tea or coffee making facilities, no TV, one bath towel, no hand towel, and one pillow each with one of them so lumpy my wife used some clothes as a pillow. We did ask for a second bath towel. We ordered coffees in the restaurant and received beverages which tasted like they were made with instant coffee and sweetened condensed milk. They were so sweet they were undrinkable. Needless to say, we skipped the restaurant for dinner. To top things off, when were arose at 4:00 am to prepare for our flight, there was no hot water for a shower. When we complained of no hot water on our departure, there was no apology, no offer of a part refund, just a blank stare. The hotel served a purpose, but we would never stay there again.
