My wife and I went there a week after the cyclone went through in December and we were very aprehensive and worried that our holiday would be a flop. It ended up being a really good holiday. The resort was a bit battered with trees down here and there and a few buildings were damaged, but the people were very... More

This is the best resort in the pacific based on my experience of 17 other pacific resort holidays. Why? The friendly staff, excellent cuisine, gorgeous physical beauty, wonderful spa, comfortable fale which combined created a very special holiday experience.

Had a simply wonderful time. The staff were friendly and attentive and went out of their way to make us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, in our bedraggled winter clothes and sleep-deprived after a red-eye flight. Food was great, especially the fresh fish. The resort makes the most of a stunning location. It's a long way from anywhere... More

Our stay was made special by the wonderful Samoan people that work at Sinalei. The location is perfect, and what would have made the stay better was a little attention to small things. We advised reception that our shower had no pressure and water dribbled out, they thanked us for letting them know but it was never fixed. The rooms... More

I haven't been to any of the other hotels/resorts in Samoa but I'm sure this is the best one! The whole resort is so clean and manicured and just walking around the place you feel calm without a worry in the world. We went on a sort of 'luxury' surfing trip. Since I don't surf I stayed at the resort... More

This was our first trip to Samoa (Mar-Apr 2013). We were looking for a relaxing holiday where we could just enjoy our surroundings and take a breather from the stresses of daily life....well Sinalei and the wonderful staff certainly exceeded any expectations we had. From the moment we were met at the airport we could not believe how lovely everyone... More

Had our first Samoan trip this May, and we were hoping for a world class experience. We were not disappointed. The location speaks for itself, beautiful and serene. My wife and I felt completely at home, and the staff could not have been friendlier. We were looking for a true taste of Samoa, and Sinalei delivered. We don't travel to... More

This was a great place to visit. Superb service and good food. The Fale was right over the water and it created a truly magical experience. Neat board walk too for couples only dining. Afternoon tea is served each and the breakfasts were good too. A little far from Apia but still, you got to see the scenery on every... More

This resort was exactly what we were looking for, for our baby moon. The staff were absolutely fantastic, I would like to particularly commend Sela, our awesome guide for our trip around the east coast of Upolu. Our fales were beautiful, we were in both the oceanfront and beach view. The pool is spectacular, the perfect temperature! The nightly music... More

Sinalei is just something so special, our experience mirrors the other 5 star "excellent" reviews and I would highly recommend anyone who just needs to drop out of life and relax in a beautiful place with heart warming people.. this is the place for you. The resort is a short 45 minute comfortable ride from the airport. The rooms are... More
