Great accommodation, roomy and well appointed. The food was some of the best we've had in Samoa, and reasonably priced. The staff were always helpful and kind. The best snorkeling in the area right at your doorstep.

Food quality was very good, but the menu was fairly limited.

Family owned resort. Setting, rooms, staff and facilities were all great. Snorkelling excellent. Thanks also to Rikki for the chance to do some fishing.

Some basic facilities are lacking e.g a directory of services with meals time, contact numbers etc. Some areas require upgrading, paint is peeling in the pool and the outdoor bar wasn’t operating. The front desk service was great but the restaurant staff require a lot more training. We often got the wrong order or paid for something we didn’t order because they got it wrong. The food was delicious though. In the other places we stayed, nothing seemed like too much trouble but here they seem annoyed with even small requests (like refilling water in the room).

Stunning location. Beautiful coral reef. The villas overlook the reef and ocean which means you can snorkel right outside your villa. The villas is spacious and well decorated. When you are in the villa it feels like you are in an over water villa.

A bit further out but we found that to be part of the charm.

Beautiful setting, smaller and quiet, with a reef right on your doorstep.

We only had a lunch and some cooked snacks here, so can't really say, but didn't love the food here.

The staff are warm and friendly, nice accommodation, comfortable rooms, good breakfast, but the best part was the incredible snorkeling right in the heart of the resort....at high tide only as it's not very deep. It was like swimming in an aquarium...there were so many different fish!

Staff were amazing. Food in restaurant was delicious and really good pricing. So relaxing and the snorkelling was excellent right there.

The sliding door going out on to the deck which overlooks the water was very hard to open as they don’t have handles. Some handles could easily be installed which would fix that.

The property is in a great location. Looking out to the reef and watching the waves break from our bed was beautiful. The staff are very nice.

Shower was a dribble, not much pressure.

Lovely staff, lovely room, incredible reef for snorkelling.

Everything was great.

We loved the low key, relaxed vibe of the resort, the friendly, helpful staff, the peaceful environment and the easy access to the lagoon and beach. The breakfast options were great and the food was delicious. A special shout out to Sonny who provided excellent service and lots of local knowledge. We will return when we can!

All the staff were wonderfully warm friendly and helpful. We especially appreciated Sonny’s positive friendly and personable manner and his caring and professional way. The location with snorkelling just there in the lagoon meant we could do this with ease and many times.

Little worn in places, crumbling walkways to villas, paint peeling in pool. No in-house instructions how to use tv

Great staff. Restaurant food

Everything. Moved here from another resort where staff were rude. So this place really made our stay in Samoa.

Beautiful rooms in ideal location. Villa overlooking water was perfect. Lovely personalised service from staff

It was quiet, peaceful and relaxing, but there were still things to do (if you wanted to), swimming, snorkeling,canoeing or taking a tour around the island. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful.

My partner and I cannot consider nor think of anything that we didn't like about the resort.

The location was breathtakingly beautiful, with reef, surf and mountain/rainforest views. The staff were exceptional and extremely kind. They even made me a special headpiece for my birthday; it was wonderful.

Location, rooms (especially the beautiful Villas), food, and impeccable service by the most lovely staff - all 10/10. Having an active reef at your doorstep was out of this world, great snorkelling or you could just get lost watching the fishies from your villa. ARR offers quiet serenity coupled with unpretentious luxury. The free transfer to Lolamanu beach (only 5 mins away) was also great. Can’t wait to return it was truly magical!

The hotel deserves to have better food than is served, or at least a chef that knows how to cook fish. The worst thing though? The food was no worse than the food we had at a cheaper, more budget friendly hotels. That should ring some alarm bells. But don’t get me wrong it was perfectly adequate.

Location is great.
