Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 732 reviews
Return To Paradise Resort, winner of the 2019 Supreme Award of Excellence, is on a spectacularly beautiful private beach which was selected for the Hollywood movie Return to Paradise starring Gary Cooper movie 1954. With white sand and a rich coral garden, but just 25 minutes drive on a sealed road from the International Airport, the feeling is of being transported into a Samoan village. The Resort is owned and operated by a large extended Samoan family who have been guardians of this land for hundreds of years which makes it the only larger resort in Samoa that is still in Samoan hands. Selected for Masterchef NZ 2014 and holder of the Prime Minister's Cup for best culinary dish, the international and local team of chefs create world class dishes with a tropical twist. Dine with stunning views in the Rock Pool Bar, or amongst the spectacular carvings of Fine Dining Paradise Kitchen, or by the pools in the Cabana Cafe, and enjoy a range of signature cocktails, all served by an extended family who feel genuine priviledged to serve you. There a wide range of ethical local tours available including swimming with turtles in a secret location, and snorkelling in the village's own giant clam reserve. Open daily for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Day guests are welcome and may swim at the beach if dining in the restaurants. A romantic and picturesque wedding location with a spectacular marble chapel and a dedicated wedding coordinator. Come as a guest, and leave as a part of the family.

Reviewed By palepas2021The place is perfect for family getaway, various activities for the family and the pool is great. The only upset was the Christmas Dinner as I was told when making our booking that it was a buffet dinner, but it wasn't, so the money paid for the dinner was not worth the food we expected for that price. Staff were nice and we do look forward to coming back again ? Suggest having a TV in the rooms for the news to watch and relax after a day in the sun!

TRULY great spot to hang out
Reviewed By _greghattingh752My wife and I were/are so very grateful to the team of folk working at Insel. They are a committed team of people to their brand. The staff really looked out for my wife and welfare in my absence for a few months. We just thoroughly enjoyed our stay . Would recommend room 308 on the third floor, great views. The location is pretty central with easy access to buses, taxis, and walking distance to down town. Was sad our time in Samoa was cut short.

Tourist service provider of accommodation, bar & restaurant. Tours on or off the island are arranged on the premises. About 1 and 1/2 hour by vehicle from the International Airport.

No refund given, very poor customer service
Reviewed By maartjev947I had the exact same experience as written in the review below: I booked to stay at Taufua in May 2020. Because of the travel restrictions and border closures due to Covid-19, I had to cancel my reservation. I did so in March, well within the required cancellation timeframe mentioned on their website. I was promised via email to be given a refund, I was also told it could take some time since they were waiting for government assistance. It took a couple of months and I reached out again to ask if they had an update yet. I spoke on the phone to Mepa, the daughter of the owner and she assured me I would get the refund, just not sure when yet. Over the following months I'd been sending multiple emails, but never received a reply. I commented on some of their Facebook posts hoping they would reply to that, but the only reply was to delete those comments (which they did to many comments in which people were asking about their promised refunds). I called again last November and spoke to Sili, the owner. Again I was told I would get a refund. He only had to go on his computer and find my booking details. He did email me back that he found the paper trail of my booking and after that..... complete radio silence again!! I have sent a couple of emails since, but I'm being ignored and haven't received any reply nor any money at all. Very dishonest, unprofessional and very bad customer service!! FYI: All other hotels I had booked for that same trip refunded my money straight away, no questions asked.

Great beach and location
Reviewed By Jeff IRooms were nice and authentic, but the beach however is the main highlight. Matareva is underrated when it comes to the beach, I would say its up there with Lalomanu, Vavau and Siufaga Beach. Crystal clear, turquoise water and usually never crowded.
