    I’ve had the greatest time here during our stay. It was my first time here and honestly it was the best decision of our trip. The rooms were very spacious and it had all the necessities that a person would need like a good AC, comfortable beds and pillows, an outside shower that also has warm water, a microwave, a kettle, and a safe for your belongings. On Thursday nights they have a Cultural night which was really nice because not only were they able to showcase a lot of the local talents they also had great food for a good price. It also helped that there was a bar across from the pool which was nice and convenient. But perhaps my favorite part about my stay at Le Manumea was how friendly and accommodating the staff and the owners were. They made it a point to get personal with their guests and it made me feel comfortable because we were long ways from home. Very clean, spacious, family oriented and just kind of away from all the busy parts of town and yet it was still close enough to drive there and everywhere else. I really did enjoy my stay. I am definitely coming back because everyone made a really good impression. It’s not flashy like those high rise hotels but the whole aesthetic of the hotel premises had a lot of Samoan flair and it was quite wonderful and nostalgic. You just have to be open minded so you could appreciate what is around you. Thank you again Le Manumea. I won’t ever forget our stay. Hope to come back soon. ☺️

    Luna and her staff truly make you feel like family. It's not a slick resort like some but has a nice pool and the rooms are more individual chalets with a little kitchen and the views of the milky way were stunning. It's locally owned and very personal. There is dancing on a Thursday evening which is quite spectacular.

    Great service, very nice rooms. Make sure you catch the po fiafia or cultural night. Well worth it, great meal too. A lot quieter than other resorts. A bit quiet for my liking but others may prefer the silent ambience. Quite far from the ocean up a hill. Cooler.

    3star compared to most overseas places I've been to before, but 4star compared to the local accommodation. Pool needs the bottom to be cleaned, and tiles repaired. Vegetarians/vegans have very few options at the restaurant, but they'll do their best to make something up. Friendly and helpful staff.

    Stayed here about 3 years ago for 5 or 6 nights. Superb for the family and children. Affordable all round including food and drink. Just down the road from Mt Vaea - get your run or walk on lesssssgo

    I went to one of their grill nights with two friends. You pay a set amount based on the meat that you choose: lamb chop and sausage ($40), chicken and sausage ($25), fish and prawns ($35), and a couple of steak options. Then you can choose from a buffet of various salads and sides. The breadfruit salad was great! The atmosphere is nice, there was a band playing music while we were there. They suggest you book but it didn’t seem too full when we arrived. There are $7 drinks until 10pm but there was a new person at the bar so they were only doing wine, beer, and basic spirits.

    Only disappointment is the shower had no hot water, asked for a discount but it was a firm NO.

    A traditional Samoan designed hotel with beautiful wooden carvings. Loved our room which was clean and well serviced with a comfortable king bed. The private outside shower was great! Good room service. Beautiful perfumed and well maintained gardens. Two negatives (hence the 4 stars): Our cooked breakfast only average and reception difficult to contact. We only stayed here two nights but wished we had booked for a longer stay.

    Luna and her team welcomed us like family. Nothing was too hard, and every request was met with a smile. Our week-long stay was comfortable, relaxed and truly memorable.

    We only went for the Fiafia Night. After booking by phone so they wouldn't have to pay agent fees, communications very hard: phone, email, Messenger: No luck and no replies on the day before, as we were told to re-confirm. Arrived at 6.40, for the 7.30 show. Shown our table was in the front row and very to the side, with quite obstructed view. I asked if we could have a different table, given we booked over a month prior, and was told it goes by order. I then pointed out we were the 2nd name on the list and then it changed to the excuse of "group size", so we had to take what we were offered even though enough tables were still free to have made a swap, if willing. Once seated, we were recommended the cocktail jugs by the other family on the table and wanted to order those. We were told Happy Hour had finished. It was on until 7pm and all adults on our table showed their watches being 6.55 (at the latest) but no budging there either! We then waited for an hour until we were allowed to go to the buffet. The food was ok. We had only about 20 min to eat, then the show started so with our backs to the stage, we had to turn around and couldn't really finish eating. The dancing was nice and the fire show at the end was great but there was a LOT of "padding" that we could have done without, ie where everyone came from etc...The MC was trying hard to be funny. It was obvious that he/she was gay but the constant comments about it I felt were inappropriate for a family show and not really representing the Samoan culture in our eyes. All in all the cost was ok for the food and show we got but the staff could really have been better.

    Great rooms, service and entertainment! Management and staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable with lovely outdoor setting shower and everything you need. Drinks and food were reasonably priced and happy hour was excellent value. The entertainment was exceptional and the Fia Fia night promises to be a crowd pleaser. Thank you for having us, Le Manumea.

    The hotel itself looks nice. We got an earlier check in by 2 hours, as we arrived at 8 am. They did their best, to help us. Breakfast was basic (coffee/tea, fruits, cereals with milk). You can order complementary eggs with toast. The rooms are clean and spacious. The outside showers are nice. But be aware of mosqiitos. There's insect spray provided. But I recommend to bring insect repellant for the body. There's free parking. And on Thursday there's fiafia night. Unfortunatelly we didn't see it.

    The only accomodation that doesn’t allow you refund or credits during covid-19! Like seriously Samoa was restricting tourists and Australia wasn’t letting anyone but those with symptoms allowed for test and clearance and also Samoa wouldn’t accept clearance from Fiji! How exactly do you expect me to get to your resort? Better make use of my hard earned money before karma gets you back!

    December 2019. Manumea have absolutely disgusting customer service. So I was conned in to canceling through booking.com and book directly through Manumea. Worst decision. Correspondence was shocking. Unfortunately I had to cancel two rooms due to measles outbreak and family members pulling out. I arrived in Samoa a day early before check in. I desperately in need for a shower and to settle my two kids arrived at Manumea and asked Luna the manager If I could check in earlier( of course willing to pay extra). At the time there were no rooms available which is understandable. As a result, I went to another hotel for the day to rest and was waiting at 10am for the manager to call as arranged. She took my contact details, however did not receive a call and therefore remained at our new hotel until our original check in time. About 10pm that night the manager called me asking for my whereabouts, abusing me for not returning to the hotel and I told her it was so late and I never recieved a call earlier in the day. They over charged me $70 AUD which I was advised by the managers daughter that I would not be refunded for. She yelled at me and threatened that if I didn't return to the hotel I would not be receiving accomodation and a refund of $1700 of my deposit. I refused to return to the hotel as I was fearful of the ill treatment id receive during our stay. I decided to not return because she was yelling at me over the phone. I could not believe how she handled the matter. So appalling the way Manumea have handled this whole situation. She then yelled at me, Forcing me to pay for 2 rooms that was not required after I explained that people pulled out due to measles. That is the reason why there is a deposit for security on your behalf. Luna was so argumentative and hanging up on me during our conversation. Next time lady fix your attitude, dress appropriately for your guest who are present in the dining area. She came out to serve me with sleep still in her eyes and a towel wrapped around her. She appeared to not know how to use the computer and looked like a mess. Never in my life have I encountered such discrepancy with a hotel. From bookings to even phone call conversations. I am happy to spend my hard earned money on our local people who are respectful, understanding and compassionate. Even if your hotel is not five star, your poor service reflects this. Just a tip if you want people to come back and invest in your business, excellent customer service is a priority and the personality of the business is the only reason why people WILL return.
