The room was a little dated and could do with a spruce up, the night we checked in was very hot and the air-conditioning was not on so the room was very hot which was not pleasant after a long drive from the aiport. I would say the photos on the website felt a little misleading for the room we got. Dirty in the corners of the room and in the bathroom. However our house keeping lady Faanati was lovely and after the first night she kept our room much cleaner. The breakfast options were a little disappointing not enough fresh fruit but perhaps this was a seasonal thing. The main resort areas are beautiful and feel like a luxury resort and the staff are great, i just think the Ocean view king room we were in was over priced given it was not what we thought we were getting. Would definitely look at different room options if i go again.

Relaxing trip!

We loved our stay at the resort. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Food choices were good and we enjoyed everything we ordered. There was entertainment every night in the bar area which we also enjoyed.

The staff were welcoming and very friendly. The proximity to Apia had the advantage one could readily go there for decent, quiet dining. The resort offered limited menus and the quality of the food. presented was not of a standard for such a resort. "Fine dining:" was supposedly available with 24 hours notice, though the Sina menus presented in the Menu books were not available (e.g. including lobster) and offered no alternative protein to that afforded in the other restaurants. Entertainment was provided each evening in the Manu bar, the noise from which drowned decent conversation whichever restaurant was chosen. Whilst the dancers and musicians in the "Fia Fia" show were enthusiastic the fact that they were not on a raised plinth meant anyone more than 2-3 rows back only saw bobbing heads. There was no transport from the resort to town and the nearest bus-stop was about 1km from the resort down a dimly lit roadway, It's a shame, the resort could be so much more with greater attention to detail. The room was fine, clean and well maintained though on the smaller-side than enjoyed elsewhere. Its proximity to Apia also makes it less "exclusive" than other resorts as access is not controlled, the entry barrier being raised without challenge.

Very top tier property and ammenaties. I did find the service at the restaurants very slow and unattentive. The staff just gathered at the counter and didn't fulfill requests. Simple as asking for ketchup for my fries.

Despite a few changes with our room, our stay at Taumeasina was nothing short of amazing and that was all thanks to the staff. Their genuine smiles, warm welcomes, and consistent kindness truly made all the difference. Not once did we feel like a burden, even with the room adjustments. Every single staff member we came across carried themselves with such grace, patience, and professionalism. It wasn’t just great service, it felt like family. Fa’afetai tele lava for making our stay so special.

Best hotel in Samoa

After significant research on all of the 4/5 star hotels in Samoa, Taumeasina is by far the best and most luxurious on the island of Upolu. The resort service is best in class and the daily activities are very informative and relevant to the Samoan culture. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, air conditioning works very well, bathrooms are large. The pool area is very nice and the private beach is even better. Breakfast buffet is great and they have local dishes available. Proximity to downtown Apia is 5-7 minutes by car. Very central to the main market and grocery stores. Overall, highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Located about 45 minutes from Faleolo Airport, the resort is beautifully designed and uniquely set on its own private island. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere throughout our stay. One of the highlights was having the option to swim either in the resort’s pools or enjoy the tranquility of its private beach—both offering a great way to unwind. The resort is also in a fantastic central location, just a short 5–15 minute drive from some of Apia’s most popular restaurants, and only 10 minutes from the vibrant Fugalei Markets—a must-visit for a taste of local culture. The only real letdown was the buffet breakfast. For an island resort, we expected a wider selection of fresh tropical fruit such as pineapple, watermelon, mangoes, and rockmelon. Unfortunately, the fruit offering was limited to dried coconut, apples, starfruit, and breadfruit. Room cleanliness could also be improved, as it seemed like daily vacuuming was needed but not done consistently. Aside from these small issues, we had a fantastic trip and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend it for a relaxing getaway in Samoa. ☺️
