  Taufua Beach Fales was an awesome choice for us. It was so quite and all you heard was amplified of youtube waving crashing clip. When you get there you need to go around the rock slide which happened during the tsunami which Lalomanu was heavily damaged in the 2009. You can see lots of dead corals in the sea. You will go pass few Fales and Taufua is right next the road. You will greated by a chubby person who runs the place. He is ok, (but if you get along with him you will get a free necklace.. hence the less one star :) ) Honestly you will feel safe, there were one girl by herself. We drove there as I like driving as it is flexible and Samoa doesn't seem to be a busy place. However there were few who took a taxi from Apia. Food was the only downside if you want Samoan food, as we stayed it was western food. Both Breakfast and dinner which is included in the price. There is no takeaway places in the area and the only option you have is to go to another fale place or the shop down towards Lalomanu which you can get WST3.50 a beer (pay WST7 from the fale). So you are forced to have lunch in one of the places, which is around WST20 meal. There is a lady who was nice and looked after the guest. She is a worker not a person who runs it. John is the security guard at night time which is a good guy The big guy who runs the cashier... well if you get alone with him then he will give you a free Samoan carved neckless. Also in the mornings they clean the beach which is nice. There isn't nothing much pass the fales... Yes I would go back... and enjoy the first sun rise in the world

  This is sort of like camping in a wooden tent. Great communal vibe. Shared meals. Good food. Beautiful beach

  My husband and I travelled here from Melbourne with our five month old baby and we had such a fantastic, relaxing time! It was our first trip as a family, and obviously it’s a little scary. Taufua was the perfect choice! We stayed in one of the rooms up the mountain (on the family’s property - a driver takes you a 5min distance to and from the beach fales), as it had air conditioning, a kettle (to boil water and sterilise/clean), a fridge, and a private bathroom - it also meant a screaming, crying baby wouldn’t wake up guests in the fales! This worked well. If you stay in a fale, they are lovely: very simple with a lovely view and the shared bathroom facilities are VERY clean! At the time of writing, they are also building more enclosed properties behind the fales off the beach a little. The staff were exceptional and so incredibly warm and friendly. They willingly looked after our little one frequently, enabling my husband and I to eat together and swim together. They looked after her, and us, so much. The food is plentiful for both breakfast and dinner (and it’s free!). Order lunch 30mins - 1hr before hand. Sunday lunch is also provided - a traditional Samoan feast which was a highlight! We highly recommend a stay here if you are after an authentic, simple break on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world! People who visited from nearby expensive resorts commented that they wished they’d stayed at Taufua instead. Remember to bring enough cash (no ATMs - but you can pay your bill with Credit Card), and if travelling with a baby bring everything you need/might need (including medicine) because Apia is a fair drive away.

  I love this place! Would certainly come back if it wasn't that far. The food is freshly cooked and really delicious. you can hire goggles, snorkel or kayaks. The family is nice too, the beach absolutely awesome and definitely worth the long ride from apia.

  Stopped for some lunch. One of the most stunning spots in Samoa. Service was a little slow but the food was great and the staff were friendly. Water is crystal clear and the sand is near perfect with plenty of activities around to keep you occupied.
