The drive from the wharf took an hour and cost $80 tala, later we found out it should've been $60. Its a killer jouney if you've just driven from Apia, then the ferry, then another hour by car.
If you need anything (like Tala or packet food) you need to pick it up before you get to the resort or you have to drive an hour back to the main shops.
We attended a wedding held at the next door Le Lagoto resort & stayed at Savaii Lagoon because we were travelling as a family and Savaii Lagoon had a kitchenette which was invaluable (emergency jam sandwiches between the ceremony & dinner)
NZ Cereals were corn flakes & weetbix. For daily fruit we got coconut, pawpaw, bobby banana's & sometimes pineapple, along with a loaf of bread. Condiments were jam, marmalade, peanut butter & butter.
We stayed for 5 days. The beach is quite small, but the snorkelling great. Our kids got a bit bored. I think if we were to do it again we would spend a couple of nights at Le Lagoto (as they have a pool and the restaurant serves great food -we ate there every night anyway) and would've arranged a hire car for a couple of days in advance. We couldn't get one once we arrived.
Recommend taking juice sachets unless your ok with water or fizzy and snack food as the dairy only sells donuts. We brought 3 packets of biscuits which were all stale.
I would stay there again but with a car to explore the rest of the island.
