Breakfast was delicious, however not included if you booked through Expedia. Barista made coffee was amazing. Great coffee art. Location, unbeatable 10/10. Picturesque views. 4 pools to swim and the beach. Stayed in the 3 bedroom villa. So spacious, clean and tidy. Three bathrooms as well. No laundry, hotel can do your laundry for you at 35tala per bag or you can use laundromat on main road for 10tala and dry for 12 tala. Overall had a pleasant experience, very relaxing atmosphere. Return to Paradise is definitely Paradise. Recommend for all, you wont be disappointed.

What an unforgettable stay! From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely seamless. The airport shuttle was already waiting for us outside and was super easy to find, which made travelling with a baby so much less stressful. When we arrived at the resort, we were welcomed by such a warm and friendly team who made us feel looked after straight away. Our room already had a cot set up for our baby, which was such a thoughtful touch and honestly meant a lot to us as parents. The views from our room were simply stunning. Waking up to that every morning felt unreal. The breakfast and buffet dinners were absolutely delicious, with so many great options every day. The evening shows were also incredible, so much fun and such a great atmosphere every night. We chose this resort to celebrate my birthday, my husband’s birthday, and Mother’s Day week, and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you for making these memories so special. We can’t wait to come back! Justine, Jono and Oliver

I like to take a moment to thank the Return to Paradise family for their hospitality, kindness, responsiveness, and their attention to detail. This was my first trip to Samoa and I could not have chosen a better resort to get a true feel of Samoan hospitality, culture and vibe. The hotel name is very fitting because it’s literally paradise. If you’re planning to explore Samoa, then I would recommend getting a car since the resort is on the other side of the island (opposite side of Apia). But if you are looking for a resort that makes you feel like you’re family, provides cozy accommodations, has a private beach and amazing facilities then you need to book Return to Paradise. Thank you for making my wife’s birthday extra special.

While the location is stunning, we were overall disappointed with the condition of the property - it's hard to believe it is only 15 years old. Two of the four air-conditioning units in our villa were not functional on arrival, and one had to be repaired twice over our two-night stay. In addition, many of the air-conditioning units outside had exposed electrical wiring, which is extremely hazardous and would be fatal if a young child touched the wiring. On alerting the resort to this, they did attend to it, but it would appear it had been like this for a long time, indicating an overall lack of attention to basic health and safety. Our unit had obviously at one time had smoke alarms installed, but these had been removed and so there were no functioning smoke alarms in our villa. We booked through Expedia, and were quoted in NZD but the resort converted the quoted NZD price to WST at rate that was above market rates, in their favour, so we ended up paying considerably more than the quoted price. The staff were friendly, courteous and helpful.

Staff was excellent. Room was very nice, location was terrific. Very clean, very professional. Very nice stay overall. Beach was beautiful. Only issues we had were with our air conditioning unit having a broken fan that made a loud grating noise on every start stop (blades hitting casing) and they started roofing work at 8am.
