Savaii Lagoon Resort

I absolutely LOVED my stay at Savaii Lagoon Resort for 4 nights. From the pick up from the ferry wharf to the last goodbye - it was a dream stay. The location is incredible, the beach is GORGEOUS, the team is so kind, welcoming, and helpful. The AC was heavenly in the very high heat. The owners Robyn and Grant were so lovely and made the place feel like home and helped me organize tours with the amazing father/son duo - Jonathan took me around the island for a full day tour. The rooms were very clean and kitchenette was a nice addition. Highly recommend this stay - I already miss it and can't wait to go back!!

I’ve stayed in a number of Pacific Island resorts in Fiji, Tonga, Vanuatu as well as the Cook Islands and The Savaii Lagoon comes up trumps. If you are looking for polite but impersonal 5 star luxury where you are just one of many tourists then perhaps this place is not for you. |The Savaii Lagoon is small, located on a beautiful beach and has wonderful, warm and friendly staff. We had the beachfront room which was huge, kept spotlessly clean and well facilitated. Yes, the resort is aging but that’s what I like because it helps provide an authentic island feel to your stay.|But it’s the food and warm hospitality that we enjoyed. My daughter and my wife both celebrated their birthdays here and Robin , Grant and the kitchen staff helped make it extra special. I repeat, the food was excellent.|The highlight was the Fia Fia show. It was as authentic as it could possibly be being performed in a resort situation by the staff. The singers, especially one of the ladies, had beautiful voices and the dancing was invigorating. We didn’t fully appreciate how good the show was until we saw one in Apia after leaving Savaii. It was touristy garbage due to the ‘singing’ being mimed to prerecorded music, a bloke yelling on a microphone and the usual crass audience participation. We left after 20 minutes.|We didn’t want to leave Savaii Lagoon or the Island

My wife,daughter and granddaughter have just spent the last 6 days at Savaii Lagoon Resort. All l can say is what a beautiful break it has been. From the apartment , hospitality food and beach, we could not have asked for more. Robyn and Grant were superb hosts. Robyn, Grant and all the staff made you feel like Family. You could see how they were not just employees to Robyn and Grant, but their family. I have never been so relaxed on a vacation . The Savaii Lagoon Resort topped up by the Incredibly hospitable people of Savaii will make this one of the most memorable experience we have had as a family. If l could sum up my stay at Savaii Lagoon Resort in one word it would be PARADISE

Thank you so much to owners Grant and Robyn who made my birthday celebration dream come true. Family booked the whole resort over 3 day period. The hospitality was fantastic. Food was beautiful. The staff were very supportive, full of smile and go the extra mile. We all celebrated my birthday together with live band, like a one big family. We miss you all very much. Again, fa'afetai lava. We will certainly visit again soon. Wishing you all a happy New Year and God Bless. Stay in touch. Patti/Dan & family.

A beautiful gem of a hotel run by incredibly friendly people. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights there. Robyn, Grant and all the staff were incredible. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The location is spectacular. We really enjoyed kayaking and snorkelling also.

Pick of the three places we stayed in beautiful Samoa. The view of the lagoon at the high tide as you walk through the fale got the first time is truly breathtaking. Incredibly relaxing place, would love to return one day. Great team there and the fiafia night was gold. Loved the fale, spacious, well equipped kitchen, bathroom with internally accessed outdoor shower is special too. Loved the snorkelling out the front too. It was such a good place to go and rejuvenate, absolutely recommend.

My daughter and I spent a wonderful five nights, swmimming, snorkeling and generally relaxing. What a spot! Gorgeous clear water with colorful fish and turtles. We were lucky enough to see turtles on two occasions. We stayed in a 1 bedroom unit beachfront which was very roomy and had everything we needed. AC worked well. So nice to hear the waves at night and just pull back curtains in the morning and see the gorgeous view. Great meals at the restaurant served by friendly and helpful staff. Breakfasts were very good. Took a day tour with John from the resort where we visited Lava fields, blow holes, market, supermarket and waterfalls. What a treat John was! Kept us entertained with lots of interesting info about the island, people and sites we visited. A very safe driver too. The resort is perfect for people who don't expect 5 star facilities but enjoy swimming and water activities. Bought a sim card for 30 tala at airport which provided us with all the data we needed and had good coverage. Hope to visit again.

Spent 5nights in a one-bedroom beach bungalow mid-December, definitely “5star location” as the website suggests. Our hosts Grant and Robyn made you feel very welcome, as well as Poppy the pup! Make sure Grant shows you some of his Gro-pro film of him snorkelling.||The resort is approximately an hours’ drive from the ferry (depending on if you stick to the speed limit!), keep an eye out for the Lava Fields and then it is about 5mins down the road – it is well signed.||Our beach bungalow was very comfortable and clean with a great view of the beach. The décor made you feel like you were in your own beach house with a dining table and a couple of wicker chairs. The private outdoor shower was a nice plus showering under the stars. Air conditioner worked well; the room also had a ceiling fan. The kitchenette was complete with cutlery/crockery for 4people and microwave/kettle/toaster with complimentary tea/coffee. Undercover in the patio area was enough space to hang your towel etc.||The Barefoot Bar and Restaurant is open all day and situated right on the beach, offering complimentary breakfast (part of our booking) which was certainly enough to set you up for the day (fruit/eggs on toast/tea or coffee), or you could order off the menu for extra. Loved they changed all the tablecloths for each dining experience and serviette folding was just a nice extra. The bar offered a special daily cocktail or there was a good selection from the drink’s menu. Food menu changed daily which included fresh/local cuisine which was changed on the blackboard each day. Not disappointed in any of the meals. A weather board is a nice touch, had the weather/tides daily, we did suggest changing the night before so you can plan for the next day. The restaurant provides a water filter station to refill your water.||Borrow snorkels/flippers from the office or take your time to check out the swap bookshelf – kayaks are also free to use. We had our own snorkels but strongly suggest that you borrow some flippers. The snorkelling was great, jump in near where the restaurant is and let the current take you on an exploration of the coral and fish life and if you are lucky, turtles – hence, the flippers to assist you to get back to shore. The only time to do snorkelling is about 2hr either side of high tide. Talk to the staff and they will let you know. If you what to cool off at low tide, there is a beautiful swimming hole to flop around in.||Extra’s: there is a shop across the road that sells a nice selection of goodies. An ATM is next door as well as a coffee shop/pizza shop combined. Walking distance there is also a bank if you need exchange any local money. The resort next door offers a spa treatment, offering massages etc. If you need laundry done, near the Lava Fields there is a Laundromat which will wash/dry.||Conclusion: after spending 2wks in Samoa, this is one place we’d go back too (opinion of course!), because of the relaxed atmosphere, friendliness, good food and it is owned by locals. The only downside as noted in other comments is the roster or rosters who have forgotten what time it is…but hey, they are all part of the experience and don’t let that take away all the good things.
