Very cute little falles, on the beach. The view is beautiful, it’s a very quiet area. The family is very nice and the food delicious

Highly recommend staying here for a simple, relaxing holiday.
Nice fale with traditional woven blinds on a beautiful beach. Friendly host, although sad to note some rubbish visible on the beach.
Very good family-style breakfast and dinner, self-serve buffet with changing selections each day. (Note: I did not request it, but did not seem to have vegetarian/other dietary options.)
Simple facilities, has everything you need for a relaxing stay, but nothing fancy.
For those who haven’t stayed in a fale before, I’d let you know that the waves crashing at the beach were quite loud, which is of course expected in this type of accommodation, but would recommend light sleepers get a closed room rather than beach fale.

Faofao felt like home away from home. I spent only two nights but wish I could have stayed longer, had my trip allowed for it. The staff, the guests, everyone was great, friendly, family-like atmosphere. You also get brekky and dinner buffet, different options on different days. Sitting down at the beach bar felt relaxing and with the amazing views, you really wished you could stay at Faofao for a month at minimum. I stayed in one of the beach fales, it was basic but that's why I booked it. It felt great falling asleep to and waking up to the sound of the waves. Can't recommend this place any more. It is owned by a lovely family who really do take care of you. They also do fiafia night on Saturdays. Do yourself a favour and just head to this little paradise in Samoa when you get to the south side of the island. To-Sua ocean trench is only a 10min drive down the road and likewise for Lalomanu beach and Namua island. Can't beat this place! Hoping to be back one day. To all of you at Faofao, thank you so much for being so nice! Bless!

Fales right on beach. All that you need and nothing you don’t. A lovely, friendly family. Great, generous meals. The MOST AMAZING location.

Dinner and breakfast healthy, varied and great. Host fanily very friendly and obliging. Place consists of beach fales, with basic toilet block across road. Also a green concrete block of about 12 rooms 2 storeyed, most with aircon Green block equivalent to a budget backpacker. All kept clean and place quiet. Sometimes family puts on dance shows at night. Under cover cafe like structure on beach front where meals are held, as well as relaxing anytime by the beach. Tea or coffee available but forget your capaccino. Good place to talk to locals and family about their life and 2009 tsunami time. Tips for improvement for rooms ..some more pillows for beds, a plastic table so you dont have to use the floor for items, and maybe some bright flowery local material as a bedspread to brighten up rooms would be good. Overall a good stay for couple nights.
