My partner and I have recently returned from a 8 day holiday at Sinalei.
We stayed in a garden fale in the beautiful lush tropical gardens. The outdoor shower was just lovely.
The resort pool is magnificent, we spent a lot of time swimming and also snorkeling off the beach, around the pier to the unexpected fresh water spring. The water was warm, crystal clear and home to some beautiful fish.
We treated ourselves to a massage during our stay. The spas in a great spot overlooking the lagoon...perfect!!
The Restaurants and food could not be faulted. A great variety of dishes on the Menus meant it was never boring. A must see is the Fia Fia night, traditional Samoan buffet dinner and show - just fantastic!!
The staff at Sinalei were always very friendly and ready to do anything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We had two wait staff, Luma and Leslie, that were exceptional. Warmly greeting us each morning and ensuring all our needs were met. It was sad to say goodbye to them.
I feel privileged to have spent time in this tropical paradise and to have experienced the beautiful Samoan culture.
We both have lots of very special memories of Samoa and especially Sinalei - and would love to return someday.

We travelled to Samoa for the first time in May 2011.
We absolutely loved Sinalei, it is a beautiful resort with lovely gardens and friendly staff.
We stayed in a garden fale and had views of the ocean from our porch.
Fales were serviced daily with fresh towels.
The food was great,though i think there could be more choices as the menu was limited.
We did not think very much of Apia itself being the capital city,it really didnt have much going for it,yet the countryside was excellent.
We loved Sinalei Reef Resort and are planning to return in a few years.

It was our first trip to Samoa and we absolutely loved our time at Sinalei in this beautiful resort with it's gorgeous tropical gardens! The staff really made it special, they were so genuine, friendly and helpful! We loved our Garden fale with outdoor shower, cleaned daily and with fresh towels. The food was of a high standard. We were very impressed and particularly enjoyed the variety of meals, especially the tuna and mahimahi - superb! Happy hour, Dominic and the band were fantastic and we really enjoyed the music!

If you are looking for a totally relaxing holiday, then this is the place - having no TV in our rooms we were able to enjoy the peace and quiet, listen to music on the ipod docking station and play our guitar/ukelele on the deck!

Hiring a car and taking a look around the island was a real highlight and we were amazed how quiet the roads were, easy to stop wherever we liked. Good to see that things are being re-built around the beautiful Lalomanu area. The trench was definitely worth seeing and spectacular coastal views! The resort can organise a hire-car or If you prefer a tour then they have regular tours available.

The beach area at the resort was lovely and we enjoyed swims at high-tide and kayaking. The spa massage was fantastic and in an amazing location overlooking the sea - very peaceful!

We were lucky to se a beautiful wedding with outrigger canoe arriving onto the beach with the bride in the afternoon sun! Very special!

We can't wait to come back to Sinalei again! Many thanks to all the staff for making us feel so welcome!

We recently stayed at Sinalei Resort in Apia for 5 days. We got married a few days into the stay. I could not reccomend this place high enough. We absolutely loved every minute we spent here and wouldn't change anything about our stay. The grounds and rooms are gorgeous, the resort is stunning and the customer service was the best I've ever recieved. The staff really made the resort that extra bit special.

We got married on the beach. Everything was organised by Sinalei and they made sure to meet all our requirements, wishes and more. The wedding went without a hitch and for both my husband and I it was perfect. From the small details to the big nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful staff. If you are looking for an intimate, romantic place to get married I couldn't reccomend Sinalei any higher!
