Good resort but needs some amenities in all rooms
We stayed here for two nights. The resort is perfectly nestled on the south end of Upolu, Samoa. There is a huge difference between the single rooms located on the "old" block and the newer villas spread throughout the property. It's clean but lacks simple things like phones in the rooms. This means every time you want to contact reception, you have to walk or call them from a locally procured SIM card. The staff are hospitable and kind. The food was good. I think we'll book the Villa for a better experience next time. It's definitely a place we'll visit again.

The resort is pretty luxurious by Samoa standards. We were in the Matai fale - the Chief’s villa - which was just beautiful. It was right at the edge of the resort and very private. It was a spacious villa, very well appointed, with both indoor & outdoor bathroom spaces and a huge deck with our own outdoor dining set, as well as two sun loungers on our semi-private beach. There was a kettle and fridge and tv and and iron & ironing board. The beach and water were lovely - it is very calm and safe to swim, snorkel and kayak. Food options are not extensive but the food was pretty ok. The buffet breakfast was basic apart from the lovely fresh baked goods, but there were a la carte items too. My partner was injured and could not walk so spent most of his time in our room, reliant on room service. The room phone didnt work and I had to walk up to order each time. I was told my only other option was to get a local SIM card and call from my mobile phone. The staff were efficient enough but not hugely friendly or approachable. I found some of them quite offhand. We often observed one of the owners speaking harshly to staff. I wonder how they speak to their staff when nobody is around. NYE was a buffet dinner but we could not attend & there was no other food available which had not been explained. I was told it was the restaurant buffet or nothing. The head chef Nitesh kindly agreed to make something for us when he heard about my partner. I don’t think we would visit again.

I had an amazing time at Saletoga Sands Resort. The view was breathtaking, and my children loved the chance to see the beautiful fish right next to the shore. They were also delighted watching the crabs scuttle between the rocks. A highlight for me was the theme dinner nights, adding a unique and enjoyable dimension to my stay, and the pricing was very reasonable. Saletoga Sands is a family-oriented resort. While there's a delightful splash pool and playground for children up to about 8 or 9 years old, most guests congregated around the separate swimming pool. The addition of ride toys for young children and a water slide into the ocean by the owners was a really nice touch. Even though I wasn't daring enough to go down the slide, I appreciated the creativity it brought to the property. The limited internet availability posed a challenge for my husband, but he didn't mind sitting in the lobby to stay connected, whereas I saw it as an opportunity to read a good book. Overall, Saletoga Sands Resort exceeded my expectations with its thoughtful amenities, family-friendly environment, and unique touches that made our stay truly memorable. I highly recommend this resort.

The beaches needed to be cleaner. Plastic wrappers floating in the water with massive sea weeds needed to be cleared so people can swim. The beauty of Saletoga Resort is credited to the : "well built" cottages and the well planned details of the land's layout. More than this, the staff are excellent, friendly and welcomed the tourists with joy. Thanks to "Salome", the manager and the Saletoga Resort Staff. The staff protrayed the true Spirit of Alofa in Samoa. Malo Lava.
