Matautu Holiday Packages

To be clear: * There's no ensuites in the fales. Bathroom is a shared block. * There's no soaps, shampoo etc * There's no hot water. (Given the temps of Samoa many places don't have hot water. It was ok) * There's no choice for breakfast or dinner. You get what you're given. (We were good with that. Mostly seafood for dinner. Eggs & tropical fruit for brekkie which we enjoyed) * Rooms aren't serviced, though you can request clean towels (which we did), & a service (which we didn't need in our 5 night stay) * Beach towels aren't provided. What we loved: * Location & fale right on the beach * Magnificent ocean & sunset views * Quiet village * Helpful kind staff * Ease of having breakfast & dinner included * Beautiful dining deck * Snorkeling right in front of our fale! What could've been better: * Individual shower cubicles needed a good clean. The grout was black & the soap & shampoo shelf was grotty - along with the waste bin for hand towels (putting the paper towel in without touching the swing lid was challenging!) Same goes for the door of the bathroom block (after getting clean I hesitated to touch the door). It was ok, but it would make all the difference if these few things were attended to because everything else in the resort was clean & well presented. * Fales were simple. Beds (that took up most of the space in the centre of the room) & bench for belongings. Lots of good on offer here. We really enjoyed it and would go back in a heartbeat.

Our stay was amazing, the family were so lovely and made it feel like home. Will definitely be back!!

The staff are amazing and the facilities immaculate. We will be back again to enjoy their hospitality and lemon grass tea

The service and quality of this property was simply fantastic. Chris and his team have truly built something special.
