What Our Guests Say
From the moment Fosi and Maua picked us up from the airport, we knew we were in good hands. On the way to the resort, they cracked jokes, and told us some of the customs living village life in Samoa!
We were lucky enough to arrive on a Wednesday afternoon, which meant we were able to book ourselves into the “Fia fia” night (this is an absolute MUST)! We also highly recommend the village tour, movie night, string band night, and the turtle and clam tour! We should also point out that all the performers at all the shows, are staff members at the resort! So just keep in mind that the person carrying your bags/making your room/cooking your food may have many other talents!
The grounds of the resort are stunning, and very well maintained. A dense mixture of well-kept tropical plants straddle most of the paths, and the resort’s private beach is lined with coconut trees, so it really is its own little slice of paradise!
The food and drinks at the bar, cafe, and restaurant are all equally delicious! The breakfast buffet has a variety of fruits, cakes, cereals, toast, juices, and a full hot breakfast with baked beans or spaghetti, poached or scrambled eggs, sausages, and hash browns.
Make sure you also try the “monkey business” smoothie from Tia!
The real highlight of this whole resort, however, are the staff. From the drivers, to the tour guides, performers, reception, food and beverage team, grounds keepers, all the front of house, and back of house staff… everyone really makes a conscious effort to greet you with a smile and a “Talofa”! They really endeavour to make you feel like you’re part of the “family”.
We’d like to give special mentions to:
Ramona (the owner, and captain of the RTD ship), Mika (manager) Tia, Vanessa, Tupu, Maria, Ah Key, Lotu (we hope your dad feels better), there are two fellas both named “Tasi” (one from our tour, and one from Food and beverage), Mai Mai (thank you for the wonderful hats! Customs Australia let them in), Mollee (hopefully we got the spelling right?), Victoria (good luck with the baby), Maua, Han, Lulia, David, and we’d like to give a special mention to Liana, and a very special mention to Fosi, who really liked after us throughout our stay.
We’d also like to thank all the other staff behind the scenes for making our stay special, and also mention Aunty Pisupo! We never got to meet her, but her news letter each day gives such a nice touch, and gosh she’s hilarious!!!
Thank you all again, and we hope to RETURN to RETURN TO PARADISE sometime soon!
All the best,
From Katie and Ben
The staff is extraordinairy friendly and treads you like family - very nice.
The location is a little bit outside, but a very nice place to be.
The story about the Ressort RTP is also historical and cute. Also good that it is still owned by Samoan Families.
It is a little bit pricy - could be less pricy 🤑😏😉...
But all in all it is a good deal thats why 4 of 5 stars - thaiii...
God bless you😇🐢🙏.
Overall this resort is up there with the best we have stayed at.
I would have given it a 5 star rating, but the amount of cats hanging around the eating areas, on tables etc, we thought was unhygienic hence we marked it down.
Before closing special mention to Mika he went out of his way to help us with the cyclone in Brisbane he followed up flights etc and generally was a great man.
The resort boasts the most amazing sunsets. The beach was stunning—pristine, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing or playing. The snorkelling was a real highlight, with crystal-clear water and vibrant marine life just steps from the shore. There're also 3 pools, which the kids appreciated. Our whole family, from the little ones to the grown-ups, had such a fantastic time.
I was able to book a relaxing massage for my birthday, and the staff organised a cake for me, which was a special touch.
We truly felt taken care of every step of the way, and the entire experience was relaxing, fun, and unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!
We were a group of 10, and we booked 2x 2-bedroom villas, which had everything a family would need, and there was more than enough space for us all.
The views from our doorstep were amazing, the gardens and entire property are kept clean and tidy, the staff were very welcoming, helpful, and the food were all delicious! We highly recommend staying at Return to Paradise when you're in Samoa, and we can't wait to visit again.
