We had the pleasure of staying 7 nights at the Savaii Lagoon Resort. The resort consists of 7 beach "fales" located directly on the beach. The location is perfect in that it is near the Le Lagoto resort and only a few kilometers from the town of Manese. The rates for Savaii Lagoon are very reasonable. Our stay was less than $100 USD a night. The facility is not a 4 star type establishment, but we feel it is the best "medium priced" place to stay on the island. |

While we were there the "co-owners" from New Zealand were there. Bruce and Margaret are really super people. We got to know them throughout the week and now consider them our friends from Samoa. We also met another New Zealand couple, Brian and Carol, and we also had fun sharing wine while watching the sunset. (They were smart and brought a few bottles of vino from home!) |

| Our unit was very basic but very comfortable. The unit included a walk in shower with hot water! (Hot water is not "normal" in Savaii so this was a real treat). There was also a small kitchenette which included a very small refrigerator, electric skillet, hot water maker, and dishware. Savaii Lagoon also provides drinking water which is provided through a filtration system. This was wonderful since no where else on the island has drinkable water out of the tap. | |

 |
| The beach fale also had a nice sofa/bed in case you needed a second bed. The TV in Savaii is very limited, one channel. Yes, they only have one channel. But who goes on vacation to watch TV anyway? | |

 |
| Each day we were replenished with a fresh loaf of bread along with some local fruit. This was a really nice extra! | |
 |
 |
| The snorkeling in front of Savaii Lagoon was very good. The lagoon is VERY shallow during low tide, so you can really only go out during high tide. But the water is calm and clear. There was not lots of fish, but the coral was magnificent. It is quite a "kick" out to the really big coral heads. If you are not wanting to do some exercising, then we recommend that you do the snorkel trip with Dive Savaii. | |
