The Fabulous Culture of Return to Paradise Resort

If there’s one unique thing that the team at Return to Paradise Resort have in common, it is their various cultural identities, and that is not an oxymoron. Culture, in its most eclectic and beautiful ways, sets them apart from the rest of the world and helps to identify and shape each of them into who they are… and they are Samoan, proud and true.

At Return to Paradise Resort, you can expect to experience the Samoan way of life through activities such as basket weaving, umu (underground cooking), staff prayers, island night bands, visits to nearby villages and even thrilling fire dances.  While some of these are showpieces, they are far more than that, and they hope you see and learn, and most importantly, feel the real ‘Samoa’ in every personal conversation, smile and encounter while you stay with them.

Samoans take tremendous pride in the landscaping of their homes, properties and environment, and this is also evident all around the resort. It is manicured exactly as they manicure their homes and villages. It is not a resort to them; it is simply a bigger guest house.  It has been created with Samoan architecture, carvings and gardens that are designed to make you, as their guests, feel special and invited into their very own homes. The resort was designed with love and a Samoan touch, and their Beachfront Rooms are cool and comfortable, with marble floors, a fridge, tea and coffee facilities, air-conditioning and ceiling fans, and huge bathrooms with walk-in showers and twin vanities. Out front is a shaded deck area with outdoor furniture and views of palm trees and the pretty lagoon.

An onsite tour desk can sort out kayaking or snorkelling excursions, or you can try spear fishing or swimming with turtles. You can hire a car, which can be delivered to the resort to drive around most of the island, through villages with cheerful bunting, opulent churches and tiny, colourful shops. This is a great way to connect with the ‘real’ Samoa. Or, you could kick back and enjoy the generous hospitality back at the resort, where nothing is too much trouble and time seems to stand still, and for more information on Samoa resorts, weddings in Samoa and Samoa family resorts please go to http://returntoparadiseresort.com/ .
