Le Uaina

Talofa. We'd like to tell you about the Le Uaina resort on Upolu, Samoa just past the Piula Cave Pools on the North Eastern coast. We went and stayed here at Easter so had a lovely 3 nights in paradise. The resort is fairly new, only opened 4 months previously and still has more fales under construction at the far end of the beach. Meanwhile though there are a number of Garden fales and we were staying in one of the Ocean View fales.

After being greeted with a lovely Samoan Smile we were shown to our air conditioned room which was simple but very comfortable. The mini fridge was soon stocked with the Jack and Coke and the Banana Muffins and Easter Eggs we had brought along. We were soon relaxed into reading our books and contenplating a dip in the sea.

All persuits are available from this resort, kayaking, snorkelling, swimming, relaxing, reading, lounging, Happy Hour (yes Hedley!) and lovely food served outdoors on the spacious deck. Breakfast is included in the room rate and was a lovely spread of eggs, toast, cereal, fresh fruit and pancakes etc.

It rained (of course - remember we were on holiday) and the sun shone. We visited the Piula fresh water Cave Pools 2 minutes up the road one day but the rest of the time managed to read our way through a number of books, magazines and watch a few movies when we weren't in the water. Many families were staying with small children along with couples. We had sandcastles built on our front porch but it was all part of the great experience. Thoroughly recommend this resort to anyone considering a holiday in Samoa and for us, we'll be back as it's a swift half hour drive from Apia so very handy!

Here is their web site if you want to check it out and make a booking. We used this booking service and it was excellent. Prompt, efficient and it worked which definately gives you peace of mind, not always something possible in Samoa! http://www.samoa-hotels.ws/Le_Uaina_Resort Our photos are also on Flickr so follow the link to the right.
