Aga Reef Resort and Spa

We had an incredible week in Samoa staying at Aga Reef. The resort is blissful; quiet, relaxed with beautiful views out to the reef, the beach and the bush line behind. We did not hire a car and the resort were happy to help with transfers to Lalomanu beach (free transfer), To Sua ocean trench, to the fiafia night at another hotel, and to another resort to see the green turtles (paid for). Going for visits to the other resorts made it clear how lovely and peaceful Aga Reef is. The reef was fun to snorkel and kayak on. It is not an adventure filled location, expect to be content with beautiful scenery, warm weather and relax! The restaurant had a fresh fish option daily, including tuna, mahi mahi and snapper, all of which were lovely. The traditional porridge, fresh fruit and the pancakes were some of the highlights of breakfast. We were lucky enough to be upgraded for free to their VIP villa which was a real treat. It was a beautiful villa with a large balcony and a plunge pool, a very comfortable bed and a fantastic bathroom. The reception area is beautiful, there are paintings of the owners grandparents who started the Aga Reef Resort, lovely to see the family aspect of the business. The gardens were kept really well, our flowers bouquets in our room were rearranged by hand during our stay. The staff were all friendly and attentive. We unfortunately ran out of sun cream whilst there but the reception were happy to assist us and had some bought to our villa within the hour, particularly helpful as we had visited a local shop the day before which did not stock it so this may have saved us a long trip back to Apia. When we arrived at the airport we were greeted with a friendly Talofa, a cold bottle of water and a beautiful handmade lei. We could not fault our time in Aga Reef, if you want a tranquil retreat, Aga Reef is prefect for you. I loved our trip to Samoa and would be delighted to stay in Aga Reef again.
