3-Star Hotels in Upolu3*

And once more: after I had discovered this Hotel in 1999 (following a recommendation by friends) — then sitting at Vaiala Beach — I have been happy to 'come back home', pleased by the service and

The Outrigger was the perfect hotel for our stay in Apia! It has a central location with many nice restaurants nearby. The building is very beautiful and the surrounding gardens are really lovely.

Spoke to the owner. I have my own lodge. She was great and understanding of the feedback.
Rooms are clean and well equipped, AC is good as is the Wi-Fi.

Great location and super friendly staff. We paid 50 tala to check in early after an overnight flight.

Beautiful and relaxing place, quiet. Accomodation is beautiful. Paul and Joan are generous hosts and pampered us all the way.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Ifiele'ele Plantation! A huge thank you to Paul and Joan for being such wonderful hosts and making our stay so enjoyable.

Well priced Hotel, comfortable enough for my requirements. Clean and Comfortable Queen Size Beds. Good Pool, Kitchenette, Fridge, A/C.

Great hotel in Apia! We had the 2 bedroom suite and it was surprisingly very roomy. It was quiet and felt safe with security during the evening. I would highly recommend.

This is a beautiful spot and will be going back at the first opportunity. It is peaceful and relaxing.

Perfect location for starting or finishing your trip to Samoa, it really allows you to slow down.

If you want an unassuming, but relaxing stay, then give Vaea Hotel a go. Family owned and run, very welcoming and helpful.
My room: clean, tidy and comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at hotel Vaea!
If you're like us and can't stomach the prices of the resorts but also can't quite face slumming it in a hostel, hotel Vaea is the perfect option!

Coffee today = superb. Brought a group in for coffee-to-go. Quick and efficient team this morning and very helpful.

Awesome location, walking distance to market. Pool was amazing clean everyday and staff was so helpful helped take all our stuff on arrival to our room when we arrived… Definitely be back.

This was a slice of paradise for a week. Don't book this resort if you want flash facilities, swim-up bars and nightly entertainment — you will be disappointed.

From our family of 12 that came to stay for 3 nights on the 26 — 29 of Jan at your resort.
We just wanted to give a Massive THANK YOU to Roe & Staff.

Pros:
Spacious rooms.
Comfortable large beds.
Well equipped kitchenette.
Friendly staff.
Beautiful island style designed rooms.

12 of us attended the Fiafia night show and what we thought was an all you can eat buffet which it wasn't☹️. You may want to check your guys website. Maybe my partner read it wrong.

Stayed thre for 4 nights and my brother stayed thre for 1 week, loved the rooms, the service.

Accommodation was nice and clean. Verona was extremely prompt with communication and very friendly. Very convenient location to the centre and had space for parking our rental car.

I tried both the studio and the cabin, and I loved staying here. Very charming and green guesthouse, homemade breakfast with fresh coffee and fruits, and the most lovely staff.

Apaula Heights Lounge is a great place to experience real Samoan hospitality. I loved my stay there. The hosts are very hospitable, breakfast is diverse and delicious.

We came here as our plane was cancelled. I was amazed how welcoming and friendly the staff were with us arriving at short notice. Starting with the fabulous assistance from Mandy!

Dear Mandy,
What an awesome surprise to see you after so many years!
You are truly an asset to Hotel Elisa Mandy!

Location is just Great.
Situated in the heart of Apia, making it convenient for accessing the town's center, markets (Fugalei Fresh Produce Market and Flea Market are nearby), shops, and restaurants.

I picked here for is location AND it's advertised Wi-Fi service.
Alas no Wi-Fi — Reception informs me their Wi-Fi has been down 2 weeks — had I been notified I'd have stayed elsewhere.

Place was good, just didn’t have an elevator lol had to carry bags and a baby up the stairs. Other than that I enjoyed my stay.

Good service, room according to the photos, clean, the pool is small buy still ok, in general a really good place.

We had the pleasure of staying at Laimoa in September 2025 as a family of five, and it was a wonderful experience.

The rooms are okay, but the Wi-Fi internet is only available at the reception room.

Stayed here recently before my flight back home I was here not even to sleep just to get ready to come back home, I had an early morning flight on 3 June 2026.

We arrived and received a very friendly welcome. One of the staff members helped take our bags from the taxi and carried them to our room, which was greatly appreciated.

If you are somewhere in the world looking to visit Samoa and unsure of where to stay, check out Transit Motel in Mulifanua.

The staff were very helpful with my last minute booking. Very handy to Airport. Rooms are average, but for a quick sleep and shower before catching your flight, it will do.

Karl and his entire team were the most supportive hosts I’ve ever had.

Highly recommend. Even the locals knowing the place. The service is sooooo good!

Lovely individual fale inspired rooms. Plenty of space. Very quiet. Kids loved the pools. Very tasty Sunday to'ona'i with large selection of traditional and modern Samoan foods.

We had a family group stay, the fales were lovely and clean, the staff were great. The kiddies enjoyed the pools, On the Sunday we enjoyed the popular To'onai lunch.

We had a 4 day stay early August. We had a great time. Snorkling and swimming fantastic if you don't mind no beach. Lots of fish to see. Calm water. The only complaint was the food.

Nice and clean rooms. The whole place would need a renovation, but alltogether nice. The beach, the kayak options are nice.

Rooms: My mum and I or when I travel with my son, we usually book a room here the night before we fly back.

Rooms: large, clean, and comfortable. Beds are very comfortable and AC is nice and cold.
Service: excellent service. Shuttle service to and from the airport. Rental car service on site.
