I have stayed and surfed at Salani four times, most recently in February 2013 at the rebuilt resort. Owner/manager Chris Donato has done a great job rebuilding the resort after the tsunami: the guest fale are now comfortable, better insulated and have en suite bathrooms; the main fale retains much of the character of the old resort. Unchanged are the... More

We traveled to Salani from Jan 5-Jan 12 and we used Waterway Travels to book our trip. We had such a great time and everything worked out well. I traveled with three other friends and their wives. We thought maybe the women would get bored because we were out surfing most of the time, but the resort planned activities special... More

We initially booked Salani Surf Resort, one of us a surfer and the other a non-surfer. Our hosts Shannon and Chris were so friendly and showed us around, we instantly felt at home. Our room - Salani Right - had an amazing view right from the fale balcony to the wave "Salani Right" and to the left we could see... More

Great location, food, staff, surf, weather! We just got back from 9 nights in Salani and absolutely loved it. The perfect mix of great surf, sight seeing, beautiful weather, delicious food and friendly staff. The Fale's are lovely and clean with everything you need and amazing views out through the river mouth, the grounds and gardens are immaculate. I can't... More

We just spent 2 weeks at the Salani Surf Resort in Samoa. The Resort is beautiful and the surf was great. There is a right and left break minutes away by boat, plus several other spots to surf within a short driving distance. The “all inclusive rate” includes airport transfers, meals, and transportation to the surf. Chris and Shannon Donato... More

Awesome place for surfing honeymoon! Salani has super nice fales, very fancy and tidy with lovely view from the balcony. We even got a bottle of champagne for our welcome and the service in general was excellent! Very friendly and motivated staff! The surf guides are very keen surfers who make sure you get the best waves out of what... More

Now this is my 3rd time to Samoa and my partners second time. But our first time to Salani and we both were just blown away on how amazing this place is! Travelling to Samoa this time round we decided to just travel around the island and find accomadation as we go along, this is something i would highly reccommend... More

This is a great spot for a boys surfing trip but as a nonsurfing females partner I found it lacking in service and attention. My partner really enjoyed his stay a Salanis and would like to go back but I would advise non-surfers to consider if it is worth the rate they charge for us. Going by their website I... More

Salani is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. It's situated on a river basin where it opens to the Pacific. All eight fales are elevated with enormous decks and have ceiling fans and lights. There was a beautiful fresh tropical flower arrangement in the room and a pitcher of fresh water. Like the fales, the pillows, sheets... More
