Tatiana Motel was such a special place to stay during my two months in Samoa. Sandra and Joe were exceptionally thoughtful hosts. All the on-site staff, especially Soata, Leutu, and Milly, were amazingly hospitable and caring. All the staff went above and beyond to support us students in every way and share Samoa with us (giving us a tour around town, taking us on a day trip to Lalomanu, taking us shopping, making us koko rice, even handpicking taro leaves from the motel garden and teaching us how to make palusami for dinner)! Sandra even took on the role of travel agent for us, hiring cars, arranging accomodation, and planning adventures around the islands for us. They really made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. Any issues we had (I once locked myself out of my room) were remedied straight away. A yummy breakfast was provided daily. My room was perfectly simple and well equipped with air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a small fridge, toilet cubicle, shower (with hot water), desk, cupboards, and double bed. The room was cleaned every week. For peace of mind, a security guard was stationed outside the motel all night every night. Tatiana's is a very short walk from Kento's laundromat where laundry can be washed for only 10 tala per load. One of the benefits of choosing a destination that's so popular with medical students was the surprise of meeting six other medical students from around the world who were staying at Tatiana Motel at the same time. One student even moved from a nearby motel to Tatiana's partway through his elective because Tatiana's was better equipped and cheaper. Overall, there is absolutely no better place to stay in Samoa for a medical elective student. A home away from home, I hope to be back one day!

Valentines Motel

Clean and comfortable stay

Reviewed By Claire S

We were only staying in Apia for one night and needed somewhere to crash after an early morning arrival. Travelling on a budget, we found Valentine Motel and were so glad we did. The rooms were exceptionally clean, with fresh linen and fluffy towels. The room was small but all you need with a private bathroom/shower. The communal area was spacious and clean, with an 8ball table, kitchen (coffee and tea on the house), tv and an amazing garden to look out at. Only a short walk to centre of Apia. It was like staying in a family home which we loved.

We stayed at Tatiana apartments for a period of 3 weeks. The apartment is very spacious , very clean and Sandra is always very helpful. It helps a lot that she lives onsite. Service by Sandra and house keeping and securities was on point. We really enjoyed our stay there.I highly recommend this place esp for families.

Leric Housing Motels

Home Away from Home!!!

Reviewed By Akstar79

This place saved our lives!!! We stayed at Talofa Inn B&B in Apia which unfortunately was NOT suitable for my young family. Talofa Inn was really restricted for young children. A friend from home, mentioned this place and it took us a bit of direction to find it tucked away in Vaitele! Coming from the airport, it's the right hand turn after Farmer Joe's/Burger Bills... or from Apia Town Centre, it's the next left turn after the Vailima Factory! We find the Office and its quiet. However, we are attracted to the large tennis court, trampoline and pool at lower ground. We walk into the Office and are greeted by Leiti. She gives a description of the accommodation for 4 adults and 4 children. Interestingly enough, the description of the accommodation sounds ideal - a double room and twin room. They offer bedding for our young children as well. We are then greeted by the owner, Lei, who had corresponded with our friend. They weren't expecting us as there was a communication breakdown, HOWEVER, they could offer us an apartment. We checked out of Talofa Inn in 5 minutes and relocated ourselves at Le-Ric Housing Motels and did NOT regret our decision to move at all!!! We fell in love with the owners who had four children of their own. This really felt like a home away from home. As the previous reviewer states "if you're a picky traveller visitor... this is not for you!" but no place in Samoa is a FIVE star accommodation, however, the owners and staff make this rating more than a five star! Each apartment offers a double room, twin room, laundry, storage room, spacious bathroom (shower only), fully equipped kitchen with rice cooker & toaster (minus a kettle & microwave) and large living area. We were able to fit four single mattresses in the living room. A/C (in lounge and main room), ceiling fans and car port. Our apartment was next to the pool so convenient access for our kids. The trampoline, small swings, basketball/volleyball/tennis courts and swimming pool were also used regularly by our kids. Being in a hot island, the kids made great use of the facilities offered. The restaurants are no longer operating but there is a Farmer Joe's supermarket and Burger Bill 2 minutes drive away or 10 minutes walk. Laundry facilities, Masseurs and Pool Table are also available. I cannot rave on about how we LOVED this place. Our kids were so homesick at Talofa Inn B&B that moving to Le-Ric Housing redeemed us from having a disaster of a holiday. Our kids made great friends with the owners children and we left Le-Ric making friends who really felt like family. We are grateful for the owners for accommodating for our needs last minute but most especially, making us feel at home. They were not intrusive. They live on the upper level and all the apartments are on the lower level. The power meter is checked daily so expect the staff to be in your apartments each day and you don't realise they're there as they go about the work quietly. Each night, the gates are closed and a Security Guard keeps eye from 6pm till 6am. He monitors two gates and does a wonderful job in trying to make sure he's at the gate for your exits and entries. Every Friday evenings, the staff have their work gathering on the courts so if you want to watch a bit of competition volleyball - seeing the staff spike it out is great entertainment. Again, don't expect FIVE STAR accommodation in Samoa with functional and matching utensils BUT that's what makes this place so perfect, the fact that everything you see at apartments with your mismatched plates, missing utensils or mismatched bath towels is something you would expect at your own home. The apartments is clean and we had no problems asking for an iron or extras that might not be found in your apartment, is provided by the staff/owners. Bonus: Rick Rentals for Car Hire by owners! The only disappointing thing about this accommodation is that it is not ADVERTISED enough!!! Thank you for making our Samoa Holiday a pleasant and problem free vacation. Our kids loved it and the memories are priceless!!! Hopefully this review compensates for the lack of advertising!!! :)

Livingstone Accommodation

Good

Reviewed By Tiah S

I recommend. If you want food though, then you're gonna have to pay for the meal deals prior to staying there or you're gonna have buy or cook your own food. Church is lovely. Peaceful. It was a good stay. Not too far from the markets and the dairy.

Tatiana Motel - Fugalei

Located within the busy precincts of the Apia Central Business District with a quick access/walk to the Fruits & Handicrafts Markets, restaurants, supermarkets and into the heart of Apia. Ideally for those who like to be in town in the middle of all the hustle & bustle. You have the choice of other locations or any room type from budget/backpacker’s room to the midrange self-contained air-conditioned standard room and/or deluxe room at affordable unbeatable prices.

Comfy and friendly

Reviewed By Lpk09

My family usually stays here because it is cheap and also friendly receptionist team they are very welcoming and make sure that your needs are met. It is a budget motel so don't expect luxury you would from other accommodation. Tatiana is a relaxing and chill out where gives you a comfortable bed to sleep on and your necessary amenities for your trip. Very convenient as it is near transport needs like taxi stand buses and also restaurants supermarket. My family always enjoy staying here as its affordable and clean thank you Tatiana for always showing kindness at our stay.

Very average

Reviewed By iskybelieve

I have so many things I could write on here but will only highlight a few. Booked a year in advance. In the months and weeks before travelling to Samoa, we received no communication and inconsistent advice from whoever runs this place. Upon arrival, noone made an effort to make my partner feel welcome. And the room was not serviced during his 11 night stay there. He had to try and find someone to get his towels changed...and even then, nothing else. We travelled during the game between ABs and Manu Samoa so understandably every other hotel/motel was fully booked. The only reason we booked with them was because they were close to my family home. No effort to make their visitors feel welcome and we only saw locals visit the place - so maybe they just don't advertise to overseas people. If you are looking for a room that is lockable with a bed and bathroom and have absolutely NO expectations or standards...then this is for you.
