Hotels near Piula Cave Pool in Faleapuna

The staff were amazing and the deck overlooking the water is definitely a highlight. We stayed in 3 different rooms - lily pond, garden villa and beach side villa. The garden villas were poorly maintained and in need of some love (TVs not working, air con not working, shower head missing, insecure door locks) the other 2 were better maintained but could also do with some TLC as could the pool. Lots of positives but attention to detail with things like milk for tea and coffee and 24 hour access to drinking water, consistent shampoo and conditioner in each room (some had none some 1 of each and others 2). Great location and a comfy enough base - the staff made the whole experience.

I can’t put into words how incredible our experience was at Saletoga Sands. We were expecting ‘good’ but not ‘great’ things due to the after effects of covid. But oh was I so wrong. My fiancée organised with Villy a “Private Dinner” for us the first night we arrived. I wasn’t aware but the amazing staff spent the entire afternoon decorating the Fale next to the main restaurant. Pina was our wonderful waitress for the evening and absolutely went out of her way. I had no idea my partner was going to propose and Pina captured the entire proposal for us on video. The dinner was lovely and the entire evening was so perfect. From the moment we arrived there were staff helping us starting with carrying our bags to our villa and ensuring we were comfortable there. The restaurant staff also went out of there way each day. They work so hard everyday and such long hours but each time you see them they have smiles on their faces and will go out of their way for you. We stayed all 7 nights in an Exclusive Villa which was perfect for us as a young couple. Quiet as it was an adult only area. King size bed and wonderful A/C. The outdoor shower was great as well. The room was very modern and we felt so comfortable there. The ocean was about 50 metres away from our room. Snorkelling and kayaking gear is all free to borrow and the boys in the boat shed will go the extra mile to help you. You can also hire the gear to take to other places such as Lalomanu Beach, Giant clams etc. The reef was at our doorstep and was beautiful with a huge variety of fish. Would definitely recommend hiring a car as there are many places to visit outside the resort. That’s what we did and we really made the most of each day. However, if you didn’t want to do that and wanted to stay at the resort there is a lot you can do the at the resort. Lounge by the pool, water sports, gym etc. The resort also run various tours daily. We went to the FiaFia night which we couldn’t recommended enough, such a talented group and the food was amazing. The owner Gav is a great guy and goes out of his way to get to know his guests. You’ll see him around the resort a lot and whilst he is so busy he will make an effort to stop and talk to you. The resort is in an amazing condition. Gardens are immaculate. The staff are collectively doing an amazing job and deserve recognition for it. Thank you so much to the team at Saletoga for contributing to one of the most amazing weeks of our lives. We will definitely be back and will be spreading the word about this amazing place.

The facility was clean and modern, but the shower didn't drain fully leaving a slippery puddle away from the drain hole. Housekeeping wasn't consistent. On separate occasions the mirror was left wet, the bins unemptied, the towel unchanged and the bed not made up properly. The programmable safe didn't open once locked, and the key card had to be reprogrammed to give access to the room. Once, while resting in my room in the early afternoon, someone tried to enter my room but the latch stopped them. I quickly checked outside, thinking it might have been housekeeping, but no one was there except someone - a burly obese island man in singlet, shorts and jandals - walking quickly around the corner. I believe it was another guest who'd somehow gained access to electronic access cards, and who was raiding other guest's rooms. It was after that incident that my key card failed to work, and I had to visit reception to get it reprogrammed. The staff were generally courteous and kind, but really only going through the motions to fulfil their role. No one stood out as loving the work they do. The egg station couldn't make poached egg. That had to come from the kitchen, and they had to boil the water first and it was an inordinately long wait. In a previous visit to Samoa, at a hotel in Savai'i, the egg station had a pan with simmering water for poached eggs, and they delivered poached eggs as quickly as any other style of egg. I visited other hotels for events around Apia on this visit. I'm now open to staying at other hotels after this visit.

Third time returning on a friends trip (annually) to FaoFao Beach, and still having an amazing time. Fales were (as always) simple but comfortable, the ocean just gets clearer and more amazing every year, and the family that runs the place are just so friendly and accomodating. An extension to their beach front dining and bar is a fantastic addition, and always a centre for social gatherings with other guests in the evenings. Will definitely return next year!

The staff was very kind and carried my luggage to the room. But the room was old and the floor was a bit dirty because of the tiles.
