The place is beautiful and the hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming. The room was even more spacious than I expected. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, generous, and a perfect way to start the day. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed my stay at Apaula Heights Lounge. Josie, the owner, was very helpful and made sure my stay is as good as possible. I really appreciate her waking up early morning just to check me in because my flight arrived in early morning hours. Breakfast was tasty and very big portion. Room was spacious and bed comfortable. I also enjoyed having a fan in my room that really helped with the heat.

If I wanted to nit pick i could say that despite being set quite high up above the town, the noise drifts up in the evening - music from a club or bar, a church service. The acoustics are surprising. But it still has a peaceful air. The property is home to a large pack of dogs, which might be something to consider if you're nervous around them. They didn't bother me while I was there and didn't seem to bark much. There are a few mosquitoes around, and holes around the door where they could come in, but I only heard one in the room. Quite a few outside. Bring repellent.

I loved the little wooden cabin, like a Wendy house, with its sunny deck overlooking Apia; and the outside shower surrounded by tropical plants. The bed is firm but very comfortable. The breakfast is huge and varied, with lots of fruit, real coffee and decent bread. It's not far from the centre, you can walk in 15/20 minutes down hill, though you'd probably want a taxi coming back. (It's not on a bus route)

Walking to the property at night. The neighbourhood dogs could be an issue for those that don’t like dogs. Just take a taxi in the evening.

Breakfast was very good. Different ever morning that we stayed (3j Nice room overlooking the town. Bed was good. Had shower outside near our room and it was nice to shower amongst the flora.

Bathroom/shower is outdoors, but still pretty nice/private.

Great place to stay! Nice clean room with fan. Very large house with common areas. Amazing breakfast - so much food! Very friendly owners who can arrange airport pickup, tours of the island, and more. You can walk to Apia town in about 10 min.

Apaula Heights was centrally located in Apia. We really enjoyed the hospitality of the host and their family. They greeted us when we arrived and prepared an amazing breakfast for us during our stay. The shower and toilet are located outside the room, but you get very good privacy. Would be happy to return in the near future. Thank you for having us.

Beautiful view of Apia. Away from the town centre and in a quiet, residential area. Only a 10 minute walk to the town centre though. Really nice breakfast included. Very friendly and helpful owners.

The doors to our fale didn’t close or lock properly. Fortunately nothing was stolen, but I would’ve felt more comfortable and safe if we could lock the doors.

Beautiful views, very calm and quiet, lovely outdoor shower, great staff, amazing included breakfast, cute dogs:

It was pretty rough looking.

Breakfast was amazing

Stayed in July 2024

No wifi or aircon (the fan was ok but needs cleaning/replacing). Also the dogs on the first night were very noisy.

Beautiful location amongst the trees. Easy to get to via taxi, or even walking. Incredible views, very friendly staff, comfortable beds.

Can get a bit noisy with dogs barking

Staff very welcoming and helpful. Accommodated or late arrival and helped organize transfer from airport. Breakfast both mornings were fresh and tasty. Amazing view.

Such a nice stay. This is a fantastic hotel managed by a great family. The breakfast is absolutely delicious and abundant, but also you can order a fresh fish dinner they prepare, with the best fish caught the night before with their own fishing boat. In case you need an experienced tour guide I highly recommend their uncle Eti Sapolu, who can take you to all the beautiful sights at the island.

There was no Wifi, but it wasn't a problem. WIFI is almost non-existent in the whole of Samoa.

Amazing location with beautiful views. Very helpful staff. Absolutely amazing breakfast.

No WiFi, so get a local sim upon arrival. (Goes for all of Samoa)

Wonderful staff. Wonderful breakfast. Charming bungalow room. On-site bar. Beautiful views.

I have learnt that in the South Pacific there are chickens roaming around everywhere. The roosters start crowing at about 5 am every morning. Then there are the dogs. Every house seems to have several and they bark at anything passing their owners house. This can go on all night. Forget about a quiet nights sleep! Apaula heights is walking distance from town but I was put off because of the dogs. My hosts told me how to deal with them but I didn’t feel good about walking past them.

This is the South Pacific so anyone going there has to adjust their expectations unless of course you stay in a large international hotel. Even then there are things you cannot control. The people are lovely. My hosts in particular, couldn’t have done any more for me if they tried. They arranged my transport from the airport, got me a guide and if they were going out they asked me if I wanted to tag along. All members of the family sat and chatted to me and made me feel part of the family. Sunday lunch is a big thing there so I got to experience the food, how it’s made and course it’s taste. Delicious!

I didn’t like the lack of wind/airflow in lounge/dining room

The outdoor balcony was so beautiful during all times of the day. The breakfast was the best part of it, meals were delicious and staff were very accommodating to my departures times. The outdoor shower was very cool and loved using it
