+If you don't mind basic accomodation, this place has everything else. Amazing and generous host, great food, gorgeous ocean views, sooo many turtles, and just great vibes.
+Amazing location, simple accommodation, but brilliant value for money. Generous food servings of good food. Would stay again
+The ladies were so friendly however a request often had to be repeated before it was actioned , lots of ants in communal kitchen and toilets due to lack of regular cleaning and rubbish removal , very noisy high tide due to rock face in front of fales . Excellent breakfast and dinners , food just kept on coming. Overall still very good value for money

“Experience Samoan lifestyle”
+The location was great, just a few meters away from the sea. There isn't really a beach, it's the new sea front made of big rocks. Loa is welcoming and so lovely! And the most amazing cook. It was great to have breakfast and dinner included. You'll probably share your table with other guests, which is good to meet people and have a chat. Dont expect amazing snorkelling in Namase, it's mainly sand and you'll see a lot of turtles but that's it. The amenities are very basic, wc and sink were leaking during our stay, the shower drain was blocked, no mirror whatsoever. It was our first experience in a fale so it's tricky to review, the view was amazing but the mattresses are just soft foam, not good if you have a sensitive back! Expect some dirt on the floor and some rubbish under the fales. The mosquito nets were in good condition. Overall it was very good to experience the Samoan lifestyle, but 2 nights were enough for my back.

+I loved the service breakfast and dinner was amazing and can’t thankyou guys enough
+Lua was warm, welcoming & very helpful & cooked us some wonderful breakfasts & dinners.
+Tailua beach Fales are in a beautiful location, right on the beach with turtles swimming out in front. Going to sleep in a simple fale listening to the waves lapping at our front porch was wonderful. The buildings are quite old, but sturdy. Our fale had woven ‘blinds’ for privacy, but we kept them open most of the time. The sea breeze was wonderful and we were kept cool. The beds are foam mattresses, off the ground, and a bottom and top sheet is provided. (Bring your own towels). A light and power point is in each fale. Lu cooked us delicious and plentiful breakfast and dinner each night. We went to church with Titi this morning and it was a good message from the pastor (summarised into English for us at the end). The beautiful Samoan voices singing praises to our God was divine. Thoroughly recommend staying at Tailua Fales, it is not a resort - do not expect it, staying here is more like glamping, but it is authentic Samoa with beautiful people and lots of love and kindness to share.

+The location was amazing just by the water. you hear the waves and the rain 😉 it’s basic but charming. The place is run by the warmest most caring woman Lua who spoilt us with great breakfast and tasty lovely dinner. Thank you so much
