Sinalei is located in a beautiful area, perfect for exploring the south coast of Upolu. The grounds are well-kept, and my beachside villa had stunning views and direct access to a warm lagoon. However, the dining options left much to be desired; breakfast was decent but the limited menu for dinner, especially for vegetarians, was quite disappointing. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but the restaurant experience needs improvement to match the resort's price point.

The resort offers a mix of beautiful surroundings and helpful staff, making for a generally enjoyable experience. The bungalows are spacious but in need of maintenance, and while the dining options are mostly pleasant, breakfast could be improved. Transfers and complimentary services like kayaking were great, but the lack of Wi-Fi and the additional credit card surcharge were disappointing.

Our stay at Sinalei was nothing short of magical! The accommodations were right on the beach, offering stunning morning views that started our days perfectly. The resort is packed with activities, from kayaking to cultural events that deepened our appreciation for the local culture. The dining experience was exceptional, with a wide array of fresh and delicious dishes. While the snorkeling didn't quite meet our expectations, everything else more than made up for it. Overall, it's been one of our favorite vacations, and we can't wait to return.
