I recommend having a electric generator for the electricity. When we got to the resort we were shown one room before the electricity went off. We couldn't use our phone to call and to do Facebook because the power was down.The water was slow as well.
It would be so great if we have one in place in times of emergencies.
Other than that, it was great. Beautiful view with friendly and helpful staff.

I will definitely recommend it to friends and families

Large areas of the resort are run down and abandoned. The are holes in the deck around the pool. Wifi is only available at reception and is intermittent at best. For the price you will get better amenities staying in a Beach Fale instead. That said, the staff did everything they could to help us have an enjoyable stay - but there's not much they can do when the place hasnt been maintained in more than a decade

Staff were lovely but timings were a little off when serving meals. The Fale was fine except the mosquito net had holes in it which meant that during the night I was bitten many times which was quite painful the following morning.
The shower only provided cold water and the rock floor was a bit hard on the feet.

Clean rooms, stunning views and beach access at our door. Breakfast was good and the staff hospitable. However the owners need to seriously look at some maintenance issues. Our back door was bordering on rottern while the front entrance door was so swollen it was difficult to open. Our air con unit woke us up in the middle of the night making a dreadful noise. When we got up to investigate, we found ice all over the floor. Needless to say we switched it off. Pool area is in dire need of attention including deep cleaning the green grime off the edges of it. It looks like at one stage it was a great place to stay, and with some care and attention, it could be again

I left another unfavorable review for this property a moment ago. Why did I stay here again if I disliked it so much? There are very few lodging options available on this island, all of the good places were booked, and due to my scuba diving being rescheduled I had to extend my stay. Perversely, extending my stay through the hotel directly would have been about 30% more expensive than booking through Expedia.

To amend my previous review: the nearest grocery store is around 2 km / 1 mile away, and the resort that you should stay at is about 4 km / 2 miles east of this one, and that one has a few restaurants, a grocery store, and an ATM nearby. Note that in Samoa nearly everything other than hotels and their on-site restaurants are closed on Sundays, so plan accordingly. Also, my two scuba dives here were unremarkable, so if you’re coming for the diving then I encourage you to reconsider. Fiji has much better diving, beaches, and restaurants, and is substantially cheaper as well.

While I won’t say that I’d never stay here again, the circumstances under which this would be a good option include a zombie infestation everywhere but this island. Do with this information what you will.

In many ways this is a step down from camping in a tent, since in a tent the bugs stay outside of your living space.

First, understand what you’re renting: an open-air shelter that has a roof, a wood floor, two beds (one queen & one twin), & a bathroom. The beds are covered by mosquito nets that have enough rips in them to allow insects through. The attached bathroom is the only room that has a door that locks, so anything that you want to keep secure must be kept in the dirtiest room. The bathroom is made of stacked stones held together by mortar, & it looks like whoever built it had never made anything like this before & was both drunk & trying to finish quickly. When I arrived the bathroom contained an abundance of insects, both living and dead (the star: a dead cockroach that was around 7cm / 3 inches long), & both the living & dead bugs multiplied over the course of my stay (the star was joined by a 9 cm / 3.5 in roach). On the plus side, you can see & hear the ocean from both beds. The entire property was clearly built by very short people. If you are of even average height then you will bang your head against overhead obstacles multiple times during your stay, both in the room and in the public spaces.

Second, there is nothing nearby. Unless you have a car then you have no options other than enjoying the wading pool, the rather small sandy area they call a beach, or using their free kayaks. The on-site restaurant is mediocre and overpriced, even for Samoa.

This property is sadly very run down and clearly has not been maintained over the years. It is barely functioning on minimal staff who were minimal and not particularly welcoming or helpful. The bar, pool and pool table are grubby and broken. The furniture around the pool is old, the pool and decking is moldy and worn out, and in the rooms although tidy were dirty and the curtains were moldy. The bathroom is at the entrance so you can’t enter when someone is using it. The front door was so buckled with damp and age it got stuck on the floor tiles. The beds were comfortable enough but the aircon dripped, there was no tv, the shower head was broken and drinbbled and the tap handle fell off. The toilet was not attached to the floor and the shower floor was dirty.
The restaurant is not functioning, the breakfast was minimal (pastries, pancakes, boiled eggs, toast and pawpaw, tea/coffee). Juice is an extra charge. Lunch or dinner needs to be pre arranged but there are better options at nearby resorts.
The waterfront position and view from the villas (3 and 4) was lovely though.
I would not recommend staying here unfortunately and us not good value for money. The whole place needs a full renovation or to be advertised as a low budget/backpackers hotel and rooms offered at a lower price.

This place is not as portrayed in the current website pics. What you see in photos is nothing like what it is. I booked and paid for 3 nights. Clever on their part as it was non refundable. After enduring one night we couldn’t stay another and spoke to front desk about our concerns. The manager said he would refund- but never did. Hotels.com we are not impressed that you have taken our money and we have no way of getting it back, resulting in us having to pay for alternate accommodation. This place is so run down and nothing like the photos. There is no beach, constant power failures. The pool was very dirty and unsafe to swim in due to the broken bottom surface.

The beach at Stevensons is so beautiful but unfortunately, the accommodation was dated and overpriced. It needs some renovations to restore it to what it once was. The bedding had bleach stains, and the fridge rusted. It felt unclean. The pool had rubbish in it and hazardous broken tiles. Breakfast was included but we had to ask for coffee and butter. There were so many stray cats on the breakfast table and our beds, they also fought at night. It was an unpleasant stay and we ended up leaving early.

The villa itself was not prepared up to standards compared to what I paid for each night. Thinking it was a villa it would have provided some dental cleaning supplies, soap for the shower or body wash (we only had about 2 tiny bottles of shampoo and conditioner.
Kitchen and food, was not much and breakfast was at average. I do recommend that if they have only 2 units/rooms booked a night, might be a good idea to set up a breakfast platter to deliver to each room rather thank a buffet that sits out too long and to also give something for server to do.
Villa and appearance would have been okay if inside had a bit of light colour decor, ceiling or walls.

Also extensive retaining being done right out front so just dirt and rocks to look at, not a beach and trucks and diggers going back and forth during our stay which we were not warned about prior. Didn't bother us much but might for some people.

The Euro Fales are an interesting combination of outdoor sleeping with a mosquito net and enclosed bathroom and toilet. We enjoyed it but might not be ideal for a romantic getaway. More conventional units are available but expensive.

This review is in context of Samoa in that it hasn’t been tourist-ified so things are pretty basic, and compared to that, we (2 adults and an 11 year old) found Stevensons to be excellent. We stayed in a Euro fale which is a big step up from most of the beach fales on Savai’i. It had its own bathroom, complete with a great rock shower and a small fridge. Looking out to the water and waking up to the sounds of waves gently lapping on the shore was wonderful. The pool is excellent and there is a very good menu in the restaurant with lots of options. Plenty of places to go snorkeling and the water was so warm. The staff are unobtrusive and friendly yet so willing to help in whatever way they can. They put on a great fiafia night (Saturday nights) with traditional food - totally yummy with wonderful performances by the very talented staff! If you are looking for a place to really relax off the beaten track where you can enjoy good food, plenty of beverage options and great swimming, then you cannot go wrong with Stevensons. We will be back!

Good price, free use of kayaks and paddle boards

We had a wonderful stay at one of the fales at Stevenson's. The bed was super comfortable, and we loved hearing the ocean as we drifted off to sleep. The resort lets you use kayaks and paddle boards for free. The restaurant had a great menu and the food was excellent. Breakfast was good and if you're there on a day they serve cinnamon rolls, try them--the best we've ever eaten! The staff were great-everyone smiled and asked how we were enjoying our stay. In particular, Lonnie, Vai, Bella, Aulolo and Wendy were excellent -- very professional, warm, and helpful. Such fantastic ambassadors for the resort! We extended our stay, we were having such a good time.
Two things--on 1 of the 6 days we stayed there, the current was very strong so do watch out for that. And if quiet is important, we suggest booking one of the villas as the open air fales don't provide any noise protection if you get noisy neighbors.
