Sinalei is beautiful, natural and delightfully Samoan rather than a hotel-style, Western type of resort. The staff is fabulous - friendly, helpful and gorgeous. The food is exquisite. Beautiful fresh food from their village gardens, meals cooked to perfection. Breakfast and daily home-baked, delicious afternoon tea included. Would be good to have had “real coffee” on offer for the afternoon teas.
Lovely beach with good swimming at mid-high tide. The corals are only just starting to regrow and repair following the devastation of the tsunami and cyclones but we still saw fish and turtles in front of the resort. Definitely worth going to the Giant Clam Sanctuary just 15-20mins down the road to snorkel and see outstanding fish varieties, turtles, fabulous corals and of course, gigantic colourful clams!
Sinalei is close to the famous To Sua trench which is well worth visiting.
We had a beautiful 1 Brm Ocean View Villa and it was stunning. Fabulously comfortable bed!
Excellent amenities in the room.
One or two areas could do with little bit of N upgrade, but nothing too bad at all. We had a couple of chipped tiles in our bathroom, so it was minor!
The gardens and grounds are beautifully kept.
We absolutely loved our time at Sinalei.
