If you are looking for a 5 star resort with air conditioning, cable TV, luxury linen etc. then Sa'Moana may not be for you.

The resort is ideally suited to couples and families or mature age surfers who are looking for a relaxed holiday in paradise with the possibility of a daily surf trip. Sa'Moana offers a very personalised holiday experience unlike most large resorts. All staff other than management are from the local "Salamumu" village and this ensures that you experience traditional samoan hospitality during your stay.

Due to the effect of tides and wind on the surf conditions in Samoa it is usually impossible to surf all day. If your main holiday objective is to surf all day every day then Samoa may not be the destination for you. On most days a 3-5 hour surf trip departs early morning and returns before lunch, then there is the possibility of surfing directly out front of the resort later in the day.

The restaurant-quality cuisine is prepared in an innovative style and features the finest fresh produce, including fresh local fish, imported prime NZ beef, etc.Breakfast consists of fresh fruit, cereals, toast plus a large selection of hot dishes (any style of eggs with bacon, etc.).Lunch is usually a fantastic buffet with a vast selection of salads, cold meats, fresh pastries, pasta dishes, snack menu, etc.Dinner is a la carte five nights per week with a great variety of entrees, mains and desserts.Traditional Samoan "Fia Fia" evening feasts are held most weeks with local musicians and dancers from the village performing traditional shows. There is also a weekly "cook your own" Aussie barbecue night.

Testimonial:

Shaun Levings, owner of WorldSurfaris, recently travelled to Samoa with his family (kids aged 9 & 6) and had this to say; "Sa"Moana Resort was perfect for our family holiday needs. I took an early morning surf trip every couple of days and was usually back at the resort by mid-late morning to hang out with the family for the rest of the day. In a 2 week trip I took approx. 7 surf trips which was a bonus on my family holiday. We met another family from Sydney which was perfect for everyone. This meant I had a mate to go surfing with and then on our return from surfing we would take over child minding which was very easy as we would grab a couple of kayaks and our snorkelling gear and paddle down the lagoon to the little beaches and then snorkel around for hours with the kids who were fascinated by the variety of fish and coral. The girls then relaxed, read and chatted whilst sipping a nice Kiwi "Sauvignon Blanc" by the pool. On other days we would take one of Sa"Moana sight-seeing tours and check out all the natural attractions of Samoa. Thd kids loved the "Sliding Rocks" tour (natural water-slide). All up we found Samoa to be just what the family needed. A total escape for all the mod cons of home to a natural tropical paradise where shoes were rarely worn. The old saying "The simple things in life are often the best" comes to mind."
