Sinalei Reef Resort & Spa

Sinalei was absolutely amazing. Staff was always friendly and went out of their way to assist. The menu is lacking a bit of variety and doesnt cater much for vegetarian and dietary needs like gluten free option.

Sinalei Reef Resort & Spa is an amazing stay. Great hospitality, beautiful location and scenery, and the Superior Ocean View Villa is a sanctuary. “Fia-Fia” show night every Wednesday is where you are treated to delicious Samoan cuisine and buffet, as well as traditional Fa’a Samoa culture, dance and song, including the exciting “Siva Afi” fire knife dance. Unfortunately, we missed the BBQ buffet held every Saturday night, but are so grateful to Sinalei for making our wedding anniversary a memorable experience. We will definitely stay again when in Samoa, fa’afetai tele lava.

A beautiful, secluded resort far from the hustle and noise of the city. Beautifully located on the shoreline of Siumu. My chalet was large and comfortable with aircon and easy access to the beach. No TV and limited wifi - which has pros and cons. Otherwise a beautiful place to stay and enjoy the beauty of Samoa.

Paradise 😌 Thank you for having us. Wish our stay was much longer! See you again soon faafetai

Resort location beautiful, with CHOGM and impending kings arrival this took most of the staffs attention. Dining options were limited, bars were closed early, day trips online weren’t available, no welcome drink on arrival. Staff regularly arguing at reception

Grounds are gorgeous, rooms were very comfortable with great beds, wonderful and friendly staff, very good food.

Great place to chill

Pros: very friendly staff (most of them were super helpful), beautiful grounds and views, great cultural day activities (ava ceremony, weaving, learning about umu), lovely spa, simple but clean fale (bedroom), really lovely pool, decent food offerings Cons: bathroom has seen much better days (i.e. badly in need of a refresh) which is disappointing considering this resort is considered one of the best in Samoa and the price isn't cheap; in-room guide is out of date/doesn't match reality/doesn't include menus - it's frustrating especially when you first arrive and you're trying to figure out what is going on.

We sure did have an awesome holiday great place to stay will definitely go again

Sorry to say, but this place is way too overpriced for what it is. The most average resort I have stayed at. From the rooms, to the food, to the amenities, to the service, the no wifi, buildings being dirty and need a really good clean. I just think for the price you are paying you would expect a lot more. I would not stay here again unless they give this place a major shake up!

Stunning garden setting facing ocean and lagoon. Friendly staff; lovely overwater restaurant, but food choices somewhat limited.

Nice beach location and pool

Fabulous resort with wonderful staff

The resort was located in a beautiful setting overlooking the sea with a pier area. Kayaks and snorkel gear were available but sizes could be a problem with the swim fins. The dining area was centrally located and neatly set for each meal with a bar area next to the pool. Meals were very good, but there is little else in the area for eating away from the resort. Unfortunately because of the weather the outdoor shower was not really convenient, and the covered basin and toilet area were constantly flooded. Pool towels were often unavailable and staff were lovely but slow to respond to requests. A great place for a quiet, relaxing escape.

extremely friendly, best resort in Samoa

This property is very beautiful. The villas are nice. The staff was nice. The dining options are not great and the food could use improvement. I also don't love that there is no wifi. But I hope to be back.

A gorgeous resort tucked away on the South part of the island. The villa was spacious with a breathtaking view of the ocean. The staff was gracious, friendly and made me feel at home. I loved Sinalei so much, that I extended my stay even though I had a room paid for at another resort. I highly recommend and cannot wait to go back.

Fantastic friendly staff …. The resort had a really nice feel 😁

After reading some of the reviews I was worried about the condition of this place, but really we had a lovely stay and everything was what we needed. I will say, that you do have to alter your expectations for what you are paying. Our four night stay was a fortnight of my salary which did make the bank account cry. And I think when paying that much you expect absolute perfection. However, people often forget you're on an island where everything needs to be imported and that takes time and money. So do not compare it to any accommodation in NZ or AU that costs $500 a night, it will probably not match those level of expectations. However, we stayed for 3 nights initially at a 3 star resort prior to our stay here, and the quality difference is huuuge. It definitely a giant step up. the food was soo much better here, no broken windows, AC with temp control etc. Beach was beautiful, snorkeling was fun, staff were so lovely. Pool was unfortunately getting repaired which was a massive shame because it looked lovely, but the beach is so close its not the end of the world. My one improvement would be wifi. I know its harder on the island, but our first place had free wifi and so then coming to a place with not enough wifi extenders for everyone, and having to pay crazy amounts if you were lucky to get one was a bit of a shame.

We loved the overwater restaurant area . The staff were brilliant
