Beautiful crystal clear waters for snorkelling, we swam with turtles on our second day! Beautiful calm waters for kids/kayaking too. We had our 2 year old and she was in the water on our doorstep everyday. Waking up on the beachfront whether in a bungalow or a villa is magical! The community is a lovely small one. Manase felt quite secluded from the rest of the island, which we loved as you still have everything you need at the resorts/local shops which are close by like cash exchange or ATM or food stores. The villages are close together and we found all locals to be pleasant and accommodating.

We hired a car for the whole week but could have done without it and just done day trips with a car rented from the resort. The resort will organise a transfer from the ferry for you. Driving in Savaii is easy there is little traffic. We mostly ate at the resort but also tried the Barefoot Bar which was beautifully located as well and good food. The grandchildren loved the pool and swimming in the sea and didn't need much entertaining. We did a snorkelling trip with Dive Savaii and also the canopy tree walk - which was exciting - but you need a good head for heights.
