Orator Hotel Samoa

It was Excellent. The villa, pools, food, and service was GREAT, thanks to staff and faculty💖 I will be back!

Nice hotel and staff. Clean pool, spacious rooms and quite setting. Lunch/dinner in the restaurant could be improved.

The lobby is beautifully presented as are the grounds (although they could have turned on the ceiling fans in the lobby). The carpark is pretty rough though. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. My room had both A/C and a ceiling fan but not all rooms had both, I noticed. The room did not have a key which was a bit of a worry, but they said they'd get one from the cleaning staff, but it never appeared. The water pressure in my room was great - no hot water water. Friends next door had no pressure but hot water! I had to send a fried chicken meal back to the kitchen as some pieces of chicken were poorly cooked. They offered to cook it again but did not offer to delete it from the bill. There was a curtain miss from the full-length window beside my bed. Wifi wasn't cheap either. Great pools!

Customer service was NOT great! Tea/Coffee making area should be made available for guests to make a 'cuppa' when they want to rather than having to wait for a slow waiter to get one for you. The room was poorly serviced. The bathroom shampoo and conditioner and soaps were not replenished each day; especially given there were a few of us in one room - they didn't cater to the number of guests. The toilet had not been cleaned since the day we checked in which I expected to be cleaned daily as part of the cleaning service. We had to ask for the right amount of towels for the amount of people in our room which is something they should have already sorted out based on the reservation made. Beach/Pool towels were not readily available to guests and again we had to ask for them. They did not promote their dinners at all - in fact there no promotions of anything at all. They could have sold some dinner reservations or room service meals if they had put some effort into promoting it; or promoted tourism within Upolu if they knew the tourist attractions in the area etc. Lots of missed opportunities to sell and promote products and services for the hotel as well as local businesses etc. They had a chalk board advertising the spa but again, there was no push or sell. We ordered food by the pool and there were cats eating our food when we went for a swim. There shouldn't be any animals allowed in hotels unless on a leash and with their owner..not hygienic at all.

It was okay. Staff responsible for cleaning the rooms & restocking supplies could do their job better. Overall staff pleasant. Breakfast satisfactory. It would have been nice to see scramble eggs & bacon, tomatoes some mornings. Salome who was there to do breakfast was lovely.😊😊
