Out door shower was amazing, the staff were 10/10. Fiafia night was absolutely awesome, unlimited food and the performers were so entertaining even tho they were a small group. The view of the ocean was spectacular. We had booked the jetty for dinner as well, such an awesome experience. Thank you Saletoga for the best stay.

Great location, rooms were of a high standard.
Food was overall pretty good, just some issues with consistency from one night to the next.
Same goes for the cocktails.
Staff were very friendly and accomodating across the resort and made our family feel very welcome.
Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful staff with kind and relaxing demeanor, clean facilities and rooms, immaculate outdoor spaces. Only reason for four out of five (and this might have been just an off season thing) the pool bar was unmanned randomly part of the time and 4out of five dinners lost something in translation between order and delivery. But still a very enchanting retreat for those just looking to relax in the tropics with infinite kindness, numerous exploratory opportunities and very nice water.

The room was a nice size, the door at the back was faulty, the fridge had rust along the bottom, top of toilet had stains over it, the safe was very worn and rusty. We tried watching a dvd, the tv was old and had thick lines across the screen. The beach and pool we're amazing, breakfast was also great, amazing variety to choose from...

Saletoga was great, very clean/modern rooms, very nice staff and owner, pristine beach, nice pool with cocktail bar, free use of kayaks, and masks (BYO if you have one as the free masks aren't great, but to be expected for free gear).
*Do not pay extra to book breakfast with hotels.com.* We paid extra only to find out breakfast is complimentary to all guests. Hotels.com snubbed my complaint which is very disappointing. This negative feedback reflects on hotels.com rather than the hotel itself!
Complimentary wifi is only available in the main restaurant (and I believe reception). It was nice to disconnect though and there was a library of hundreds of DVDs for guests to borrow!

Room was Amazing for 2
The extra we paid for the 3rd bed & forgotten 3rd person was not value.
For ocean front perfect view.
Others told us they got lavalavas & massage vouchers, cocktail courtesy etc.
Nothing outstanding.
Had to ask for extra bath towel

Clean rooms, attentive staff and excellent grounds keepers, very hard workers.
The staff at the day spa were exceptional, fantastic massage. Its remote location forced you to relax and enjoy your surroundings. My only piece of advice would be to extend wifi access to the rooms instead of just the reception and restaurant area.
Overall, good stay.

Excellent family bungalow which proved to be a good retreat at the end of each day
A couple of things needed attention:
- the fan only had 1 speed - fast.
- the hot water was not available on a couple of days when showering.
Otherwise the position and view was very good.

Absolutely loved our stay! Saletoga is such a beautiful resort - perfect for both adults and families. Our rooms were spotless, and housekeeping came by every morning to refresh everything with clean towels and toiletries. The vibe was amazing, the staff were so friendly, and the resort had every amenity you could possibly want for a relaxing holiday.
We stayed right on the beachfront, and the rest of our family was spread across the family section and the garden villas - all the rooms were huge and absolutely stunning.
We were there for 5 days with a big group celebrating our uncle’s birthday, and it honestly couldn’t have been a better place for a family celebration.
This is hands down my favourite place we've stayed in Samoa - and we've stayed at both Sheratons, Tanoa, Taumeasina, Coconuts, and a few of the smaller resorts. Saletoga tops them all!
Thank you, Saletoga, for an unforgettable holiday. We’re already excited to come back!

The housing we were in was the best. Room 404 Clean tidy and felt new.
A very peaceful stay, we were away from the main dining area yet not too far to walk to the main dining areas.
The pool was amazing nice and refreshing so cool compared to the ocean and had so much fun with my children and grandchildren
