Tanu Beach Fales is an excellent beachfront accommodation option. It offers a peaceful and tranquil setting, slightly removed from the bustling town of Apia, making it one of the most serene places in Samoa. Despite its secluded location, it remains conveniently close to the city, allowing for exciting adventures in a different setting. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beachfront retreat, and if you're looking for a place to stay right on the beach, it is undoubtedly one of the top choices in Samoa!

We had an amazing time at Tanu Beach Fales! The fales offer breathtaking views of the crystal clear ocean, resembling a mirror, and you can even swim with fish and turtles at the reef right outside your doorstep. The meals, both breakfast and dinner, were absolutely delicious and homemade. In the morning, we enjoyed coffee, and at night, we had refreshing lemon tea. The fales are equipped with comfortable mattresses and mosquito nets, allowing us to sleep in the open air and enjoy the beautiful breeze for an afternoon nap and throughout the night. The bathrooms may be basic, but when you come to Manase, your main focus is swimming, eating, napping, and relaxing! The staff at Tanu Beach Fales are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel like you belong there. We are truly grateful! Our stay was in November 2022.

The owners of the beach were very friendly and the accommodation was pleasant. The food they served was absolutely delicious and the portions were quite generous. It was a pleasant surprise to be greeted with a refreshing coconut welcome drink and have a lovely conversation with the family.

The beach is absolutely stunning, with its pristine, crystal-clear waters. The beach fales are decent, but the restroom and shower facilities could definitely use some improvement. 😊
