4 seniors stayed in motel rooms.
While we expected basic accommodation a few small upgrades would improve things a lot.
Staff were lovely and very friendly.
The beach is idyllic, perfect for snorkeling

We loved our fale with traditional collapsible panels rather than ugly tarp. The fale was right on the beach, simply stunning!
Our host was lovely and helpful. A great place to stay with awesome snorkeling.

Our host greeted us upon arrival and took us to our freshly made up fale. The bed was spacious and I was amazed how warm it was, as the night we stayed it was bucketing down. We can't get over how delicious the food for dinnner and breakfast was. This was our favourite place to stay and we can't wait to come back.

The beachfront location is spectacular. Sleeping in traditional fales was comfortable and a unique cultural experience. Breakfasts and dinners were tasty and plentiful. Best of all were the friendly, kind and helpful women of both management and staff. We had a thorougally enjoyable stay!

Beautifully situated fales on the beach to enjoy a slice of paradise. Well presented fales. Staff really tried to make stay enjoyable. What let property down was the condition of the shared shower/toilet facilities. Enjoyed a lovely home cooked breakfast and could pay for dinner albeit a bit pricey.

Owner/staff included visitors in a family celebration; they were so kind and generous. The beach setting is absolute paradise and it is central to so many of the sights. Also a small shop for snacks a 2-min walk away.

I did not stay at this property. I paid for accommodation insurance and Expedia tried to get a refund but Faofao refused. I will not recommend Faofao to anyone I know travelling to Samoa in the future.

Faofao fales were beautiful and right on the beach! Our included breakfast was delicious and the supper buffet always impressed. The staff were lovely and we particularly enjoyed the show on Saturday night. A true authentic and welcoming experience staying at a family run business. Highly recommend!

Location, location, location
Faofao is a wonderful family run accommodation located in Lepa, beautiful swimming beach and lovely hosts. The only thing I would suggest would be a change of pillows and mattresses soon as they were a bit musty. Location though cant be beaten if you like the sound of the waves and you're walking on the sand when you step out of the fale.

Spent 4 peaceful and relaxing nights in a fale, nice to sleep right on the beach, hearing nothing but the sea. Breakfast included (pancakes, toast, fruit, sausages) was plentiful and tasty, filled us up for the day.
The fale was comfortable and just about big enough for 2 people and our luggage. Mosquito net provided was a little hole-y but it did the job.
Excellent snorkeling out on the reef which is easily accessible.
Dinner and drinks at the bar were great, with friendly service.
Facilities were exactly as described, basic but suitable.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Faofao Beach fales! We stayed in a fale on the beach and it was such an incredible experience that I would highly recommend.
The beach is blissful and quiet (other than the sound of the crashing waves) and the road behind was not busy. We never got bored of the view!
Breakfast and dinner was provided daily and the options were healthy and included fish every day which I loved! Served buffet style so we were well fed!
The toilet and showers are basic but it was wonderful to have an outdoor shower looking up at the sky!
No WiFi so it was nice to be "off grid" for a few days. Great location for visiting waterfalls, the ocean trench and the national park.
Overall we had an amazing time and was sad to leave! Thank you so much to the wonderful family at Faofao!
