Coconuts Beach Club Resort and Spa

Pros: great food, friendly staff and a clean room. Great spa service. Cons: internet is horrible and the property needs a facelift.

We stayed in Fale Lina, one of the over the water fales. Surrounded by crystal clear aqua-blue water we spent hours on our large patio watching ocean ripples for sea turtles. (Which we saw often!) Each morning I’d grab my mask and fins and snorkel out to the nearby reef for a closer look at the abundance of sea life. It was like a dream to be in this tropical paradise immersed with these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat. Coconuts’ beaches are pristine, ample and clean. The entire property is peaceful and comfortable with several beach huts to relax under. It was a perfect place to disappear, slow down and recharge. Thursday was FiaFia night in the open air dining room where local village residents told a historic tale of Samoa through song and fire-dance. They were proud and welcoming with this ceremony and it felt special to be part of it. It was a highlight for sure & like nothing I’ve ever experienced. The food is good & fresh, and the chef is happy to make adjustments for dietary needs. The staff is amazing! Very helpful, friendly and kind. We were so happy with our stay here and hope to return one day. Thank you to the beautiful Coconuts family for a wonderful stay!

disappointment we arrived as planned late at night and were shown to our room by the driver. There were pools of rainwater on the floor. The AC outside the window was making a humming noise which made it impossible to sleep. We were given a ground-floor room although we had been promised a 1st-floor room. Although we were moved upstairs the next day, this was just the beginning of a not-very-successful stay. The grounds and the rooms are ok (apart from the noisy AC), but the staff appears tired and unenthusiastic particularly in the restaurant and in the reception. Getting a wifi code (to the very bad wifi) was a long process that could only be handled by the director within her working hours. Breakfast is substandard. The driver was the only exception to this
