Sinalei Reef Resort & Spa

Outdoor bathrooms are fun but they retain the heat from the day.

Paradise for the adults. Top rate services, with great food, all set in a peaceful part of paradise.

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.

Sinalei is beautiful, natural and delightfully Samoan rather than a hotel-style, Western type of resort. The staff is fabulous - friendly, helpful and gorgeous. The food is exquisite. Beautiful fresh food from their village gardens, meals cooked to perfection. Breakfast and daily home-baked, delicious afternoon tea included. Would be good to have had “real coffee” on offer for the afternoon teas. Lovely beach with good swimming at mid-high tide. The corals are only just starting to regrow and repair following the devastation of the tsunami and cyclones but we still saw fish and turtles in front of the resort. Definitely worth going to the Giant Clam Sanctuary just 15-20mins down the road to snorkel and see outstanding fish varieties, turtles, fabulous corals and of course, gigantic colourful clams! Sinalei is close to the famous To Sua trench which is well worth visiting. We had a beautiful 1 Brm Ocean View Villa and it was stunning. Fabulously comfortable bed! Excellent amenities in the room. One or two areas could do with little bit of N upgrade, but nothing too bad at all. We had a couple of chipped tiles in our bathroom, so it was minor! The gardens and grounds are beautifully kept. We absolutely loved our time at Sinalei.

This was a great holiday. The resort is in a great spot and has everything you need, including swimming and snorkeling. Staff were wonderful and food was great. We went with no TV or wifi for the week and this just added to our relaxation. Would absolutely recommend Sinalei.

Beautiful setting. Piece of paradise. Beautiful staff who show the true warmth that is Samoa.

really enjoyed our stay, the beach was great and swimable and the food was excellent. We splashed out a little by staying here, it cost more than we would normally spend, and was a bit more exclusive. We had stayed the previous year at a large chain resort that was cheaper and in good condition but really busy. So was interesting to find the guttering was rusty so when it rained, and it did a lot, we had to dodge the drips getting into our room. The white sheets werent white, nor were the towels ( especially noticed as the odd white piece of linen would occasionally pop up). The beach/pool towels were like hens teeth, never any around. The snorkelling gear would run out and was also in poor condition. In the rooms things were a little shabby, wall sockets that were loose. Lights that didnt work. A fridge that would make a clicking noise every hour. Despite all this we adapted and really enjoyed our stay. Just think would be nice to see that some money could be spent by the owners on some basic upgrades, maybe new washing machines etc

Most beautiful gardens I've seen at a resort. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Free use of kayak, paddle board and snorkel. Would go back in a heart beat

The trip was great and hotel was perfect.

Beautiful setting, friendly staff, loved the outdoor showers and the spa was amazing.
