Great Resort right on the water. Beautiful Property. Ocean side restaurant had wonderful views. Breakfast in the morning was quiet and nice.

The biggest issue we had was that the hot water took 5 minutes or more to get hot. And it wasn't clear which way to turn the knob to get hot water. it seemed to change from day to day. We went to the front desk 3 times for this issue and it was not addressed until the end of the 2nd day...when we used a neighboring cabana to shower. Maybe this was a one time issue....but the hotel staff was NOT on top of it.

Also, the Cabana main room is air conditioned, but the bathroom isn't. This may be to add to the \"showering in the rainforest\" feel....but it meant it was difficult to get dry after a shower.
Generally, the servers tried hard. But service in all 3 Fiji resorts we stayed in on this trip was much more competent.

Overall a great place. And maybe the best place on the island. just needs the fix the bathroom issues and get better at service.

We had the most wonderful stay at Sinalei Reef & Spa Resort. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely delicious, and the location is simply stunning.
We especially loved the rustic charm of the rooms and the fact there are no TVs, it was the perfect opportunity to switch off, disconnect from technology, and truly relax. We couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind and would highly recommend Sinalei to anyone visiting Samoa!

As a woman travelling on my own I felt so safe and I didn’t meet one staff member that wasn’t smiling, checking in on me or giving me advise for places to go/see. The hotel assisted me with hiring a car and getting me to/from the airport which was very appreciated. The hotel also arranged for me to see a local rugby game, which I highly recommend, and they made sure I was taken care of from start to finish. The grounds and beach were beautiful and well maintained, my room had good AC and I also used their laundry service which was well priced and returned to me the same day. They also have complimentary snorkel gear which was great!

Loved our stay at Sinalei Resort.
Staff were very lovely and helpful, were able to help us book a rental care right from their resort and had plenty of great recommendations.

Rooms were always very clean, air conditioning worked well.

Restaurant, food and drink options were great. We were very happy with the breakfast options provided including the daily local fruits.

Beautiful location with snorkeling right out the front - we saw turtles in the water every time we swum.

Couldn't recommend Sinalei more

We spent a week in the hotel and Sinalei is a true gem. The landscape makes it feel like you’re in Samoa - not in a general island resort. The staff is extremely kind, polite and sweet. The amenities are great; tennis / paddle court, incredible relaxing pool, kayak, snorkel, everything. The spa is also another great addition - Tiana gave me the best massage and facial. We will definitely come back. Fa’afetai Sinalei.

(The only thing that could improve - but will not remove / affect my 5 starts rec! - is the food. The restaurant is ok, but the environment, vibes and atmosphere make it worth it)

A beautiful resort on the water. Staff are excellent, room was spacious with great linens. My only comment re the meals is that the breakfast is very poor for a 4 star resort. It is the only resort we have been to in 4 months of travel that does not offer a hot breakfast option as part of the complimentary breakfast. Dinners were excellent however the menu is limited especially if you are staying a week - no daily specials. Otherwise - enjoy.

There were 10 of us that stayed at Sinalei. The view was beautiful and we loved the food. I chose the T bone Steak and it was huge and very tender. A few went kayaking which was free to use and whilst kayaking they bumped into a group of Turtles.
The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent.
Clean rooms and the atmosphere was so peaceful and quiet.
We left to stay in Apia and wanted to return back to Sinalei. Thank you for the memories Sinalei. God Bless.

Great location for a retirement village!

The hotel is in a lovely setting with a beautiful pool and beach, but is let down by a few things, most noticeably is how dead and empty the place is. No one in the bar (not even staff usually), no one in the restaurant, at 8pm its like a retirement village, completely empty!
The rooms are nice but could do with a bit of a refresh.

We visited this resort 10 years ago and there had been a few changes since then. They have introduced children to staying here where it used to be adults only. Also the restaurant mains were not available most nights. Limited sun beds and service around the pool and limited sun beds on the beach. Although a little disappointing the people are still warm and friendly. Our room was beautiful and we still had a great holiday.

Sinalei Reef Resort & Spa is an amazing stay. Great hospitality, beautiful location and scenery, and the Superior Ocean View Villa is a sanctuary. “Fia-Fia” show night every Wednesday is where you are treated to delicious Samoan cuisine and buffet, as well as traditional Fa’a Samoa culture, dance and song, including the exciting “Siva Afi” fire knife dance. Unfortunately, we missed the BBQ buffet held every Saturday night, but are so grateful to Sinalei for making our wedding anniversary a memorable experience. We will definitely stay again when in Samoa, fa’afetai tele lava.

Pros: very friendly staff (most of them were super helpful), beautiful grounds and views, great cultural day activities (ava ceremony, weaving, learning about umu), lovely spa, simple but clean fale (bedroom), really lovely pool, decent food offerings

Cons: bathroom has seen much better days (i.e. badly in need of a refresh) which is disappointing considering this resort is considered one of the best in Samoa and the price isn't cheap; in-room guide is out of date/doesn't match reality/doesn't include menus - it's frustrating especially when you first arrive and you're trying to figure out what is going on.

Sorry to say, but this place is way too overpriced for what it is. The most average resort I have stayed at. From the rooms, to the food, to the amenities, to the service, the no wifi, buildings being dirty and need a really good clean. I just think for the price you are paying you would expect a lot more. I would not stay here again unless they give this place a major shake up!

The resort was located in a beautiful setting overlooking the sea with a pier area. Kayaks and snorkel gear were available but sizes could be a problem with the swim fins. The dining area was centrally located and neatly set for each meal with a bar area next to the pool. Meals were very good, but there is little else in the area for eating away from the resort. Unfortunately because of the weather the outdoor shower was not really convenient, and the covered basin and toilet area were constantly flooded. Pool towels were often unavailable and staff were lovely but slow to respond to requests. A great place for a quiet, relaxing escape.

After reading some of the reviews I was worried about the condition of this place, but really we had a lovely stay and everything was what we needed.
I will say, that you do have to alter your expectations for what you are paying. Our four night stay was a fortnight of my salary which did make the bank account cry. And I think when paying that much you expect absolute perfection. However, people often forget you're on an island where everything needs to be imported and that takes time and money. So do not compare it to any accommodation in NZ or AU that costs $500 a night, it will probably not match those level of expectations.
However, we stayed for 3 nights initially at a 3 star resort prior to our stay here, and the quality difference is huuuge. It definitely a giant step up. the food was soo much better here, no broken windows, AC with temp control etc.
Beach was beautiful, snorkeling was fun, staff were so lovely. Pool was unfortunately getting repaired which was a massive shame because it looked lovely, but the beach is so close its not the end of the world.

My one improvement would be wifi. I know its harder on the island, but our first place had free wifi and so then coming to a place with not enough wifi extenders for everyone, and having to pay crazy amounts if you were lucky to get one was a bit of a shame.

The place has seen better days, it’s quite run down and not worth the premium price tag. Pictures online of the facilities are deceiving.

Beautiful resort

Our stay was very short unfortunately and we had only two nights at this beautiful resort. The room was large, clean and quiet. We ate at their restaurant on both nights, and the food was excellent. The manager and the guest relation staff came to talk to us to make sure if everything met our expectations. The staff work hard to make your stay as nice as possible. My only minor complaint is that the reception staff had no idea what services I could use my Hotels.com Gold member credit for. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to be able to use it. Otherwise no complaints and we were happy there.

This was a beautiful resort. All the staff were friendly and the grounds are gorgeous! There was a mistake on our bill but we were able to get refunded the difference. We recommend the restaurant on the beach. The chef is outstanding. Things are pricey so be prepared for additions to the bill.

This place truly is paradise- beach front resort with immaculate gardens, restaurant has been built for the perfect beach and sunset views and our spa experience was amazing.

The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, the villas are well positioned and private with a large social area around the pool area and open air bar.

Unlike other resorts around Samoa this place has been well maintained and appears to have invested owners who genuinely care about your stay there.

I personally loved the tropical gardens - variegated vines growing up tropical palms was just wow. I also enjoyed the subtle touches of vibrant flowers floating in large colourful pots around the resorts.

Free kayaks, snorkels and paddle boards available for use for guests was also provided.

Good food with great service - we could not fault our stay with this resort.

We will be back!

Nice property and staff but very obviously lacking in management. The place itself is beautiful.
That may sound cruel by they seriously need to address this. This is not a cheap place to stay and it needs a big lift in staff organisation and catering.

When we booked to stay at Sinalei we read that we could expect 'outstanding service' and we definitely recieved that from Sio and most of the restaurant staff. Unfortunately we found the reception staff to be rather unhelpful and found if you didn’t specifically ask the right question, you didnt get advice. We stayed during March and the place was pretty empty when we first checked in and we felt a little bit like we were an inconvenience with lots of things we wanted to do either not running ornnot available. We were hoping for some tips on best ways to do things but found this was lacking until we met Sio who really made our stay and holiday.

Gardens were amazing, restaurant location was awesome though the the food was could have been better. Cocktails were good, the Bed was real comfy and check in/out was smooth and easy. Thankfully there was good aircon in the room as it was real hot day and night. Staff were lovely and helpful. Didn't get to snorkel but the beach looked lovely and the pool was beautiful. Room was real nice though could use a little R&M.

Magical holiday

A beautiful place to stay with lovely staff and a great setting. The hotel accommodation we had was a little tired so a refresh would be good but don't let this put you off as it is a wonderful place to be. And look out for the turtles 100m from the beach.

We really enjoyed our stay!
All the staff were lovely (thanks Tammy :), the resturant had fantastic food and drinks and the breakfast and afternoon tea that was catered was great. We loved all the gardens and privacy. Safe drinking water was provided by the bar which was awesome, so we didnt have to buy any water while we were there. The beach front is beautiful with sun loungers, kayaks and stand up paddle boards available for use. They have a traditional cultrual show and samoan buffet night which we unfortunately missed but it sounds amazing and the staff perform which is great because you get to know them. Highly recommend especially if you want a luxury kind of holiday.

Worst hotel management I have ever encountered

First of all, please check all my other reviews and you will see I very rarely rate someone very low. This is my worst experience ever of all the 40 countries I have been to. Expect Z-E-R-O accountability from the management of this place when things go wrong.
I made a booking for an amazingly great rate for 6 nights. Then 4 weeks later I get an email from them via the Hotels.com messaging board saying and I quote exactly: \"Hello there,
I hereby advise this booking is being Declined as the rates are not wright.\"
Now, who is responsible for posting the correct rates? Of course Sinalei is responsible for that. When do they respond to me? 4 weeks after making the reservation and paying for it. In the meantime the prices have gone up everywhere else and availability has gone down.
Did Sinalei offer an alternative a discount or a reduced rate to compensate for their stuff-up? Definitely not. I contacted them asking to at least keep three of the six nights that I initially booked for. How did Sinalei respond?? By completely ignoring my messages. Nothing, zero replies from what they claim is the #1 resort in Samoa.
What makes this worse is that this wasn't an emergency where they had to resolve the problem right away and where the manager was not available. No, this took nearly two weeks of contacting them and not getting a single reply, nothing, absolutely nothing whatsoever.
Be aware that if anything goes wrong at this place you can expect zero accountability from this resort

Sinalei was quiet, beautiful and you could happily spend the whole holiday there relaxing, enjoying the provided activities and cultural tours and singing along with the AMAZING staff band! If you want to explore, it’s within easy access to everything and the resort has vehicles to hire for a range of prices to get you where you want to go! It was a bit pricier overall than we would usually spend but we loved it and can’t recommend it highly enough!

Very beautiful location, blue sea, wonderful grounds, good size room with stunning views, just perfect for total relaxation.
Staff were lovely, very friendly and keen to help. Stand outs were Jela (reception) and Beta (bar / restaurant) ...... hope I got the names correct as they deserve a special mention.
On the downside, not major, the bathroom had a glass ceiling, which was great for light and the night sky, but so very very hot.
