Taumeasina Island Resort

My review is basically about the staff. At the time I arrived to check in I was greeted by a very friendly and welcoming staff members. Every morning at the breakfast I was served and greeted by the happiest and always smiling staff. Till the day I check out for that I want to say THANK YOU for the awesome week I stay at Taumeasina. Also the room was clean and the property is so amazing beautiful. They always have activities each night.

Great location. Great staff especially Pesamino in the restaurant he was so helpful and friendly.

The location and snorkelling were great. Buffet breakfast was also fantastic. This is a large resort so you don't get that small pacific vibe, its a very busy place. But easy to drive from there to visit other attractions if you have a car.

We stayed at Taumeasina for 11 days this trip and had another fantastic experience. The service was exceptional, especially from waiters Alesana, Tino and Taleni, who were friendly, attentive and outstanding throughout our stay. The reception team is welcoming and always open to feedback. Having stayed here regularly over the past three years, we've noticed great improvements, including complimentary kayaks for guests and scooters available for hire. Our children always choose Taumeasina over the other resorts in Samoa and the friendly, approachable General Manager, Nathan and his Team help make every stay memorable in Samoa. We look forward to returning again soon.

Staff were helpful when we checked in - said we could have a late check out - staff the next morning was rude and said we ddint have a late check out - tried to charge us - hung up on me, rude. Got woken up by the restaurant staff demanding us to sign for a bill at 11:30 that wasnt for us. Best buffet breakfast out of all of the 5 resorts we stayed at - best beach to relax out of all resorts we stayed at - but i rank it a 4 due to the feeling of being in a city not and paying over $1000nzd for a quality nights sleep and being left like we were in a night club.

It was great, breakfast was nice and the service was superb.

Im a regular at this hotel and the service is always good 👍 The Oka is the best on the menu. When I usually request an earlier checkin due to early flight arrival, they do their best to accommodate me

I stay at Taumeasina often as I regularly travel to Samoa to check on my elderly father, so this feedback comes from a regular guest. Breakfast this week appeared to consist of leftovers from the previous night's buffet, which was disappointing. A large crowd turned up to watch the State of Origin decider, only to be told the TV would have no sound and that we had to use a much smaller screen, despite the large screen in the main area being used for soccer earlier that day. Unfortunately, the staff can be dismissive, and management doesn't seem open to feedback or value its regular customers

Staff were very lovely and helpful 😄 made our stay very relaxing. We will definitely be back again !

The resort does seem to be the most up market in the area but it has a long way to go before it rates as well as a 5 star resort at say, Fiji. The rooms are nice but are not regularly deep cleaned. Washing machine and shower frames all dirty. The beds are terrible, I asked for a new mattress but it was no better. They are noisy with any movement, you can feel the springs and they are very firm. The shower head holder in my room was broken, reported it and maintenance replaced the head but left the actual broken part, so still no good, but I gave up on it and used as is. The staff are mostly lovely, I liked the waiters and the activity team, but some of the managers are not very friendly. I asked for a banana at breakfast, waiter had to ask the chef. The chef came out with the bananas and gave me an absolute filthy look over it ( im not sure why?). I have found that although the activity staff as nice guys alot of the activities dont go ahead or aren't really advertised when starting. For example every day pool volleyball is advertised, a net was never put up. Food is ok, but takes a long time to be served and several times parts of our orders were missed. One manager made me provide a receipt for missed fries as he didn't believe I had paid for them, yet he wasnt even there when I ordered. Main pool has some lining missing from the bottom, 5 star resort should have this fixed. The resort would benefit having waiters work the pool decks for drink orders saves us going to bar

The staff were friendly on arrival but there was a mix up in rooms we were assigned to. We had to move within a couple of hours after we checked in but that was well taken care of. However, when we called to see if there was availability for the tennis courts we were told to come to the activities desk but I wasn’t sure where that was located so I went to reception who then called another staff member and told me to wait 5 minutes and they should be out to help me. We waited in the lobby area for 15 to 20 minutes and no one came so I went back to reception and the staff member had forgotten what I was waiting for. I asked him if someone was coming and he said for??? Then I said to use the tennis courts then he replied oh yes you need to go to the activities desk outside and asked him where it’s located. Pointed outside and we headed to the desk only to be told that the tennis courts were booked out for the day. Staff during the buffet breakfast were excellent especially Pesamino. Rooms were great and everything was clean and in good working condition. Overall would stay again

Feels so calm. Everything was beautiful.

The whole experience was a delight. Staff were lovely and super helpful. The gym was very good compared to most hotel gyms! The pools and beach were gorgeous. We had an extremely relaxing time and will definitely be back. Great value!

Workers we amazingly friendly and always ask if we okay and if we need anything

We had a very lovely stay. Clean room and friendly staff. The reception area, food and bar area was spacious, and having the beach outside your door was a bonus. My only gripe was the quality of some of the meals, however being close to the city and having other eating places to choose from was a bonus.

We stayed in the 3-Bedroom Cove villa at Taumeasina and had a wonderful experience overall. The villa was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The amenities were good, and the property itself is beautiful and relaxing. The highlight of our stay was the restaurant and the outstanding service we received. A special mention goes to Pesamino, who took great care of us during several meals. He was friendly, attentive, and provided exceptional service that made our dining experience even more enjoyable. The only issue we encountered was with the bedding arrangements in the two guest bedrooms (not the master bedroom, which had a proper king bed). The guest rooms were advertised as having king beds, but the beds were actually made up of two twin beds pushed together. During the night, the beds would often separate, leaving a gap in the middle or shifting off the bed base, which made sleeping uncomfortable at times. This was disappointing, as we were expecting true king beds based on the room description. Other than that, our stay was enjoyable overall. The accommodations were spacious, the amenities were good, and the service was attentive. We appreciate the hospitality provided during our visit.

Loved staying here and enjoyed all of the activities for the kids. Great place😊

Taumeasina is the best accommodation place to stay in Apia hands down. No comparison locally. Rooms are perfect, staff are the best, helpful and kind always!

All staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was great . The main pool is being renovated, i was a bit disappointed. But The resort is in a stunningly beautiful location. Our ocean view room was okey, but there weren’t enough shelves for clothes, and the bathroom was a bit dirty. I missed the mosquito net, we couldn’t left open the sliding door.
