Upolu, Samoa hotel rooms at the Independent

"Beautiful, serene beach resort. Friendly staff and good food. Would recommend if you want to be in / by the water all the time on your holiday"

"Our family of 4 (2 teenage sons) stayed in the Deluxe over water ocean front fale. It was a clean and spacious room with a beautiful outlook over the water. The beds were very comfortable. There was an aircon unit and 2 ceiling fans which provided ample cool air in the evenings. We ate at the restaurant and the food and drinks were great value for money. The bbq and fire show night on Friday was great. Staff were lovely. The pool was refreshing. Even though it seens to be in the middle of nowhere ( about 45 mins from Apia) it has everything you need. "

"This is a lovely, friendly, family run business, and it shows. "

"Resort hotel on its own island in Samoa. Quite self-contained, although it's possible to walk into town if you wish."

"We had a lovely stay. Access to the private beach was amazing. Will return. Be prepared to eat in house for every meal though, as no other local options. Buffet breakfast was amazing with a large variety. Staff very friendly and helpful. "

"Great place will be back!! "

"We had a fabulous relaxing break… beautiful room and surroundings, good meals and particularly enjoyed barbeque night and nightly cocktails at the landing bar. Staff were friendly and helpful, lovely pool and beach area. Only negative was that there was only reasonable internet at the main restaurant and reception but no wifi in the room. Would love to return 😊"
