We stayed here one night, this was 4 months after the cyclone, so only the surfer's accommodation was available, every thing else is being rebuilt. Very basic accommodation. The evening meal was OK, breakfast of old bread and spread no butter was to be avoided. This cost the two of us over $250 AUD! Have stayed at the Hilton in... More

I recently stayed at Sa'Moana and it was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed this resort. Next time I'd like to stay longer! The setting is just amazing. We stayed in a Hibiscus room and it was very clean & tidy. Looked just like the pictures. The infinity pool was an absolute highlight. We spent ages there. The beach was great too... More

I would get on a plane tomorrow to go back again if I could! This resort is down to earth, gorgeous and you get to know your fellow guests (if you so wish) because it is an intimate setting. Firstly, a lot of negative reviews on this site is prior to 2012 - before the resort came under new management,... More

I agree with a few other reviews, the setting of the Sa Moana Resort is amazing, infinity pool, great food, amazing Fia Fia night, lovely snorkelling right out the front of the resort, lovely beaches a short walk away and friendly staff. Being right on the ocean front and so close to the reef, you got the noise of the... More

Firstly I am only putting this up on tripadvisor after I'd emailed management to let them know how our stay went, after a couple of empty email promises they stopped replying, so here's our review... The setting of Samoana Resort is amazing, infinity pool, great food, amazing Fia Fia night, lovely snorkelling right outside your room, lovely beaches a short... More

Hi Victoria & Craig, We are extremely disappointed to have read this feedback. Considering we have replied to your complaints in detail and even offered you a 5 night free stay out of courtesy, you have posted this 6 months after your stay at Sa'Moana Resort. We understand that we cannot please all guests and we are more than happy... More

Just had a week at Sa Monana Resort, with 2 adults and a 16yo son. Absolutely loved the resort, the location, all the staff and the food. Being right on the ocean front, snorkelling, beautiful ocean views, cooling breezes, hamocks between palm trees, infinity pool, groomed landscaped surrounds, there is not much else you could want for a perfect samoan...

We have just returned from a two week holiday to Samoa, our first week was spent in Sa Moana. We have two girls, aged 7 and 10 and this was our favourite of the three places we stayed. Sa Moana Resort is relaxed, casual and friendly. The bungalows are comfortable and clean. We did get the drop toilet which we... More

Amazing place with an amazing infinity pool. We were very well looked after. Had some good surfs out front of the resort. The staff were very accommodating for a late check in and we regularly returned during our stay in Samoa even just for the day to have a cocktail or two as well as going for a snorkel or... More
