Find the Cheap Si'umu Hotels

I didn't know what to expect at first, this was my first time staying away from Apia but this has honestly been the best experience I've had in samoa thus far. Although the weather has been terrible, my experience here at sina Lei has been absolutely beautiful. From the moment we stepped in we were checked in early, our bags carried to our room. The room itself is stunning with a view of the lush green hills and palm trees and the gorgeous bathroom with the glass roof. Our room came with the deck outside dressed with a coffee table and 2 chairs, as well as inside as well next to our fridge and coffee and tea station. My partner and I had decided to go to the spa for the first time on our first day after checking in and settling. We each got a facial and the spa rooms were absolutely stunning, right next to the beach, I had the 45 minute facial and short massage and just hearing the sound of the beach waves, the cool sea breeze against your skin enhanced my experience. The women at the spa were very kind, very attentive and greet us daily whenever they see us. Im going for a full body massage today im really looking forward to it. The food is honestly delicious, like I kid you not, it's honestly the best food I've had at any resort and I've stayed at 6 resorts these past 3 weeks both in an out of town. I haven't had the best experience with food at some resorts here but every pasta dish I've had here was divine. Even the deserts, everything was presented beautifully, the staff treated us well and the events manager/ fnb manager greeted us like old friends. The waiting time was also really swift, about a 5-10 minute wait. We went to the entertainment night yesterday on Wednesday, it was dance performances + Siva afi (fire dance). The performances were beautiful as well as funny in their own way. ALL staff members even the waiters got involved at their ending performance and they had EVERYBODY up and involved and encouraged everyone to come together, the atmosphere was so good, absolutely beautiful. The Siva afi was also very well done, it was my first time seeing men AND women take part in it and even a child !! It was honestly riveting to watch and an amazing experience. All in all, this is the best resort I've stayed at in samoa so far. The staff are very helpful, kind and polite. Food was amazing, and even the views of the beach and animals within the water were beautiful. Would definitely recommend to couples coming to samoa for a getaway. Thank you sina lei for this experience !

Perfect, especially good, great

After 60 days at Insel, I can only recommend this as a place to stay, I will be back soon. German efficiency and its heritage (named after an island in the north of Germany) is a reflection in the staff work practises. The staff are friendly, particularly front desk Patricia and team, always addressing by your name and the cleaning staff (Elizabeth on 3rd floor) professional in their excellence to completing their tasks. The room was comfortable, with air con/fan and a good size kitchenette.

This hotel was like a lovely backpackers for grown ups and we enjoyed this. The rooms were clean, functional and had all of the facilities needed. Although a little small this was OK. We stayed in room 8 downstairs. It was value for money. I really liked the outdoor dining area near the pool as it was a friendly place to talk to other travelers and share stories. The gardens were stunning. The location was good as only 5 minutes drive to the city centre and on the Cross Island Road for the day we went to Robert Louis Stevenson's house and gardens. Apia is not a big city. There was space for 5 cars in the car park and 2 on the street and this was Ok as there was always parking available for us. I bought a local sim card at the airport on arrival and this was handy as I could use my maps app on my phone for us to find our way around. The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfasts were colorful, creative and something for everyone as they were served on a tray with a bit of everything with different items each morning. We had some laundry done and it was ready within half a day. The TV did not work due to a signal connection error. The air con worked well. The shower was hot which I like. Their was a shelf in the bathroom to put your products which was very handy. Hotels should supply places to put your stuff. They asked you take off your shoes when walking in the reception area which was a pain as my shoes were clean and I feel there is a fungal infection risk walking around bare footed. There were stones outside and they were rough on bare feet if needed to nip between the reception and the downstairs. I think they should make this optional.

We only stayed two nights at The White House Hotel, leaving very early the next morning for our flight home. The best that can be said about the hotel is that the room was relatively cheap, it was clean, the air-conditioning worked and it was well located for walking in Apia. On the negative side, the bathroom fan was incredibly loud and the shower veered from searingly hot to ice cold within moments. Breakfast was advertised as starting at 7.30am and we went down at 8.00am to find no plates, no mugs, no butter, a few sad looking lukewarm sausages and a couple of spoonsful of scrambled egg and no attendant at all. There was a small selection of fruit – tiny bananas – a toaster with slices of bread slowly going stale in a basket, and some jars of jam. After repeatedly finding a staff member to provide the missing utensils we were left unimpressed. Also, communication with the hotel prior to arriving was non-existent – we had sent a message asking about transfers to the airport on checkout and never received a reply. We organised our own taxi instead.

Didn’t stay here, as the hotel was full when I arrived with some fellow travellers, who had made prior reservations. But with help of the receptionist, who let me use the wifi and subsequently rang another hotel for and organised a taxi, I ended up ok!
