"If you’re looking for an authentic Samoan experience in an idyllic location, Vaimoana delivers. We stayed one night in an open beach fale and one night in a regular room. The fales share restroom and shower facilities, which is typical, and they were perfectly fine. The regular room had its own facilities. The room was basic but very clean and adequate, and we enjoyed relaxing on the porch which looked out over the water. The beach area is beautiful, with plenty of shade trees and chairs, and a protected cove for swimming. The restaurant is excellent and we had some very good meals there. They change all the table decor for every meal, which is evidence of how they go above and beyond. The restaurant and lounge area are very inviting and spacious. The service was outstanding in every way. The property is well-maintained, and a masseuse from a nearby village came to provide a massage. It is not a high-end resort, but it is beautiful and provided exactly what we were hoping for in an authentic experience. It is a lovely place to stay."
