Virgin Cove Resort in Apia … I stayed here in 2002, but I've just been thinking about it again, as I am preparing to go travelling again. Great location, lovely people, authentic experience. Hospitality second to none. You will be made to feel like one of the family! Spotless toilets and showers. Gorgeous fales [huts]. If you want clean, comfortable, friendly, traditional accommodations in Samoa you cannot get any better the Seipepa!
Valentines Motel in Apia … Valentines Motel is the place to stay in Samoa. It is so central and close to everything. The motel is great, the hosts are fantastic and helpful, and the environment is so relaxing. I have nothing but positive comments for this Motel. I recommend staying here. The breakfast served in the morning is so good. I loved waking up and going down for breakfast and eating pawpaw! The Host (Verona) was the greatest. She helped us out so much. If we needed anything she would help us out the best way possible and in turn this made it easier for us to adapt. She and her crew made our stayin Apia much more special. Valentines Motel is the best!
Virgin Cove Resort in Apia … I worked here for six months, and it was the best learning experince I've ever had. It has changed me in the most positive way. I was lucky enough to be in paradise and to work with the wonderful people at Seipepa Samoan Travel Home. Thank you, Mats and Sia for everything, and I really want to come back some day. And if you see this, give my regards to the rest of the friendly staff at the Seipepa Samoan Travel Home. Many hugs from Liselotte.
Valentines Motel in Apia … Hello all. I have just spent a great month's stay at Valentines Motel, which was just superb. It is really handy to Apia town, the fresh produce market, taxi stands, buses and a great wee sports bar across the road. The best part about Valentines though, is the staff, who are super friendly and helpful and are more than happy to help out with anything, from directions to the best things to see and do. The hostel rooms range from clean single rooms to doubles with fans in every room, to a self contained air-conditioned unit with private bathroom facilities. Amazing breakfasts are included with fruit, toast and eggs. There are washing facilities. It is quite a family atmosphere with a great breakfasting area and lawn out the back. I would recommend Valentines Motel as a great place to stay for anybody in Apia. Their Samoan hospitality was five star!
Virgin Cove Resort in Apia … Very good breakfast, nice people, and clean toilets and showers. There are a lot of flowers everywhere. It is the perfect distance from town. I hope I can stay there again soon. They give a little bit of themselves to everybody--I really did like it.
Virgin Cove Resort in Apia … You've got to check out this place. It may not be your eight-star hotel but if you want to check Samoa out and find out the real way they live. This place offers a lot of hospitality, friendship, and at the end of the day you've gained alot of Samoan friends and whole lot of Samoan culture. If you want to find the real Samoa, visit this place. I guarantee you you're in the hands of the best. What more could you ask for?
Virgin Cove Resort in Apia … Really enjoyed staying here. Booked the Honeymoon fale, and loved it. Beautiful beaches, great swimming. Great to have no power, and to get away from it all. Take a torch or battery lantern! Great food and cold beer. Can't say enough about the place. Very friendly staff and locals. Great activities arranged for the morning, leaving loads of time to relax in the afternoons. Really good environment to meet other travelers, and make friendships. This is not a five-star resort! This is getting away from the hustle and bustle. There is nothing to do here except swim, read, sleep, relax, drink a few beers. we'll be back!
Virgin Cove Resort in Apia … Everything about Seipepa is great. The people are nice, especially the people who work there. They made me feel welcome at Seipepa, like it was my own home. They're cool. The rooms are great, beautiful, more than I expected. I recommend everyone to go there.

Virgin Cove Resort in Apia … The people are nice and the grounds are beautiful, lots of flowers and palm trees. They are near the market and the down town area, wasy to walk to.
Virgin Cove Resort in Apia … I hated this place so much. It was awful!!
Virgin Cove Resort in Apia … After making a telephone reservation for a $70 fale, we arrived to be told we had to take a $90 fale as they had double booked. As this is more than we wanted to spend (and it's ten-minute taxi ride back to the main road, never mind the next resort), we asked if we could take the fale offered at the price agreed -- "No." Despite this, we were placed in the worst-placed fale, next to the bar and noisy children. We moved the next day to a $70 fale, which turned out to be bigger and more secluded, although the jungle surroundings in the whole resort make this a breeding ground for insects (and stay away if you don't like crabs -- in the hundreds!). Our final evening was rounded off by a chicken dish that left me making frequent trips to the toilet for a period of days, and, judging by the state of the toilets on the evening in question, I wasn't the only one. Many people speak highly of this resort, but I am sure they are referring only to the cove and beach itself, which is lovely…
