Good place to stay
We found so many positive things about Vaea Hotel, just go through their entry door! The garden area was beautiful (although we didn't focus on the pool as that wasn't a draw for us). The owners were so helpful and friendly, quiet but if you ask for assistance Lupe and her son Shane had wonderful suggestions. Breakfast was more than adequate - coffee/tea, cereals, milk, fresh fruit, toast/spreads, eggs, and even Samoan donuts or cinnamon buns. A very relaxed atmosphere.
Our room was clean and comfortable for our 5 night stay. We had an upper-level room, so it was a bit noisy at times during the night. Perhaps the lower-level, pool side rooms would've been quieter. Other than that, the location was close enough to many things in Apia. We rented a car which was necessary to get to attractions like the Tu Sua Trench and the Giant Clam Sanctuary, unless you book a tour.

Vaea Hotel - Chilled Escape
Pros: Cleanliness of the rooms, pool and outdoor dining area, location and security of the property.
Host were friendly and helpful and it was easy to walk to local cafes/restaurants/shops for a bite to eat.
The breakfast included in the rate was wonderful.
Cons: Wifi not factored into the room price, unable to use the pool area whilst waiting on room to avail and property signage was not easily visible to locate when we were being transferred from prior property.

Ok for a few days.
We were arrived about 7pm on Saturday night and the "pick Van" let us Waite for an hour and by the speed limit of 40 km it were already 9 o clock. and we were hungry. Lucky for us Lupe the manger rang the only restaurant open and drove us there ( Pizza) the hotel is ok but that's all. The breakfast was Not something to write home about. Just white bread bread, butter and jam except we were getting fried eggs - the only of 4 hotel that gave us eggs without charge. When we us to come down about 08 o ' Clock the eggs were very cold. the pool were fine, but there were no internet at all. We liked Lupe.

Great experience
We had a lovely stay at Vaea Hotel. It was a walkable distance to the city, but far enough away that it wasn’t noisy.
Loved the pool and tropical garden.
Air conditioned room and very nice hosts.
We really enjoyed the free breakfasts: eggs, toast, pancakes, fruit - delish

Nice well built family owned lodging below Vaea Mountain.
My wife and I stayed 5 nights, arriving by taxi from the APW Airport before 5PM. Note; a pre scheduled shuttle is available at 26 WS tala.
We were greeted by our hostess who verified our names/prepayment and provided the room key, 2 bottles of cold water and a small carton of milk for coffee or tea. She referred all questions of car rental to searching various Apia providers and offered a free sim card in absence of wifi.
Upper floor room #8 was tiled with a queen bed, new refer, desk with hot pot & coffee, then TV with 8 channels(most religious supporting Australia/NZ news). The tile bathroom had a new sink and toilet, a large walk-in shower without a curtain, small bars of soap and quick hot water. The AC was cool and quiet, adjusted with a remote control.
A sliding glass door opened to a balcony with table/chairs and a beautiful view over the garden pool and the busy Lalovaga Avenue to the homes perched on Mt. Vaea.
The 7:30AM breakfast included fresh fruit, lemonade, pancakes, cooked eggs, toast with peanut butter/jam, regular coffee and sporadic pastry.
The quiet host tended the office, maintained the clean pool, gave us new bulbs for our bedlamps and rented room routers.
We appreciated the hotel’s adult atmosphere with the ‘no children’ policy.
We walked 100m west to the modest Foodlands/Alan’s supermarkets, 1 km north to central Apia’s cathedral/American Library, over to ENT cafe/car rental and the nearby produce market.
