3-Star Hotels in Upolu3*

I had a great time staying at the Outrigger Samoa for 3.5 weeks during my travels to Samoa.

I had a fantastic week at the Outrigger, using it as my base while I explored Upolu. The hotel itself is a lovely old tastefully decorated colonial building.

Lovely resort with rooms nice and comfortable with verandah looking over ocean. The place is simplistic with nice gardens and swimming pool area.

We had a great stay at Le Vasa, the beachfront Bure we had was lovely and it was to celebrate my 40th birthday trip and the start of our honeymoon travel year and they had made Love Swans with the

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.

Clean, quiet, and conveniently located—ideal for families and solo travelers. Close to town yet a peaceful retreat. Car rental is right next door (Taumeasina Rentals) — RAV4 for $130 per day.

Wow! We (family of 4) absolutely loved our time at Samoana. We stayed there for 8 nights. Our room was spacious, fresh, clean with a great bathroom and large shower.

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.

Beautiful Resort. Quiet, private location, clean and tidy.
We stayed in the LeUaina 3 bedroom Beachfront Suite, which was modern, light and clean.

Our favourite Fia Fia night on the island! Nearly 30 musicians and dancers, including incredible fire dancing.

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.

A place like no other! If you’re looking for a relaxed vibe, look no further. This place has different accommodation types and all very well presented. The view is amazing and you can see Savaii!

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

Always a great experience staying here. Best Fia Fia night in Samoa. Their Island Grill Night is also great. The rooms are spacious, large beds and the outdoor shower is stunning.

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.

Appreciate Aunty Maria and Uncle Tim and all their staff.

Our family had the most incredible experience staying here for a month and loved everything about the property, the amazing hosts, and couldn’t provide any higher recommendation!

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

Great place. You get what you pay for and I am happy.
The buffet breakfast is an awesome way to start the day.

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 in a top floor room for a few weeks and overall had a very positive experience. There were a few minor issues with the room initially, but they were addressed quickly by the staff.

I stayed on and off for a few weeks here. A top floor room. Room spacious, kitchenette well equipped. A couple of things in my room had issues during my stay but they fixed them quickly.

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.

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!

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.

Simple but clean hotel. Staff at reception very friendly. The service to and from airport is great. Recommended if you have a very early flight. You will be at the airport in 5 minutes.

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.

The staff here are so welcoming and helpful. Location is good. Rooms clean. Pool nice. Breakfast was good too. Short trip into town. Nice and quiet. Would recommend.

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights. The receptionist was very helpful throughout our entire stay. All the staff were very friendly.

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.
