Positive: I really appreciated warm welcome and local knowledge of Lupe and Dean. The Hotel was a little oasis; a spacious open front breakfast area with a soothing vista of a swimming pool surrounded by copious plants and flowers and even a mature cactus tree.The cornucopia of diverse floral colours still lingers vividly in my mind. As i requested breakfast was a simple fair of local fresh fruits such as papaya, authentic bananas, apples, lychee, oranges etc. toast and jams. On a few mornings i was introduced to a local breakfast staple called Vaisalo (a warm porridge like fayre made with coconut flesh and tapioca starch). Cereals were available and I presume eggs upon request. A major attraction of Vaea Hotel is it proximity to the centre of town - 10 to 15 minutes walk max. Also there are local mini-marts, grocery stores; eateries and restau rants within 5 to 8 minutes walk. Overall I had a throughly enjoyable stay at Apia Vaea Hotel and would recommend highly to anyone who wants to get a flavour of real Samoan life and a more personable experience as a oppose to staying in a big resort.
Negative: I didn't book a long enough stay.
Summary: A little oasis with extremely warm and welcoming hosts.

Positive: Location is so good. Minutes away from all the major attractions in Apia town centre. Easy to find after driving from the airport as it is just off that main road. Father and son team, Dean and Shane were fantastic hosts giving handy local information, adjusting breakfast to suit my dietary requirements. Fabulous pool and a great view of the mountain.

Positive: Lupe and the rest of the staff were really nice; it felt like we were just at home. They helped us a lot with questions about activities, shops, and restaurants. They were very welcoming and hospitable. The location of the hotel was within the city boundaries, but it wasn't in overly crowded public areas or unnoticeable alleyways, so you could walk basically anywhere from the location. We checked in at 11 p.m. in the evening, and they were still able to accomodate us warmly, and didn't make us feel like a nuisance.
Negative: It was unclear when we made the reservation that we had to pay an extra charge for the wifi, but it wasn't too much of a problem.
Summary: Vaea Hotel made us feel at home in a country that we've never been before.

Positive: Shane and Dean, both exceptional characters, couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast was more than adequate, never left breakfast feeling hungry. Location is great, easy walk down the road to restaurants and into town . Pool was kept spotless and great to relax in at the end of the day.
Negative: Not much really. I did mark down “ value for money” previously. But that was from an Australian point of view. Didn’t realise Samoa was so expensive. Once there and seeing what else is available and their prices, then it is very good value.

Positive: Only stayed for a couple of days, but we loved everything about this place. It was the perfect combination of affordable comfort, staying in a very beautiful location without breaking the bank. Lupe was gracious, and the family were very attentive during our stay. Faafetai lava for your hospitality, we appreciate Vaea Hotel for housing my partner and I during our short time in Samoa
Negative: Not a complaint at all, quite the opposite- upon discovering a small leak in our bathroom, the staff were able to rectify it immediately with no drama. The only thing I’d nitpick, is that there were tiny ants in the room so we had to always make sure our food was stored in the fridge. Other than that, everything else was perfect!
Summary: It was perfect for our short stay
