This was our second visit to the lodge and we had such a relaxing break. We noticed even more bird life this time and the view from the restaurant area is the best in Upolu. All staff very helpful and much of the food is grown locally. Great small pool on site and even better swimming hole in the river nearby (within the wider grounds). Looking forward to our third visit in the future.

I am here with my family (10) Arrived after an early morning flight. Lolita was extremely welcoming and arranged breakfast for us all then we wrote off the morning with a catchup sleep. The view from the balconies is astounding and the tranquillity and peace is what we needed just after the craziness of packing and leaving home and all its responsibilities. We tripped around the area nearby as my father was from Aleisa. I now understand him and his ways so much better. Dave Parker Eco Lodge isn't fancy, it's had its hey day ... but it is quaint and tidy and for me ... perfectly Samoan! I loved my stay here. The service ... was so accommodating, helpful, kind and respectfully cute! We were cooked for and served by all young men. Very traditional and very lovely experience. Loved the cultural food on the menu!! This place has been great and any first time visitors to Samoa need this plantation feel experience! We are off now to a beachside resort which are common here, but you can't beat being up in the hills!

Remotely located lodge high up in the hills of Apia. Basic room with fridge, fans (not air con), passable shower and sink and limited storage. Breakfast is local fruits, coffee ea bread jam, Staff very friendly and helpful. Pickup from Airport is possible, though expensive as is the norm in Apia. No local bus servce nearby, though shuttle from lodge will drop off in town at 09:00 and then reurn at 14:00. About 5 miles from t own so not walkable. View is good from rooms. Very steep drive leading up to the lodge, with some careful driving needed! Restaurant on site does meals and there is a bar. Local SIM can be purchased from here. Cash is preferred but credit cards can be accepted. Pool is hidden around a corner and is really just a plunge pool as it is very small

The day before we arrived, we were told by email we would not be staying at Dave Parker Eco Lodge due to flood damage (floods were the week earlier on Savaii ie the other Island). Another hotel was arranged for us in Apia which we needed to make our own arrangements to get to. We had asked for a shuttle to pick us up. Two days before arrival we queried the amount, which was $55USD ($150 tala). The taxi we got to the other hotel was $80 tala. The other hotel had no pool and there was a lot of road noise as it was on the main road into Apia. Traffic noise 5am - 10:30pm. Our reason for choosing Dave Parker's was for the quiet and the views. Instead, we got loud traffic noise and views of a busy road. Dave Parker charged our credit card the same amount although we got substantially inferior accommodation. We drove past Dave Parker's, there was no obvious work being done to the road. We wondered if our late bump from the guest list was for querying the inflated shuttle fare and because it is a family run hotel. It was busy in Apia when we arrived, and family run will give preference to family and friends. For a quiet budget friendly hotel without the road noise yet in a very convenient location I would recommend Hotel Millenia where we stayed later in our trip.

We really enjoyed our stay at here and wished we could have stayed longer. It has a nice family feel about it. We got a free ride into Apia every morning with the lovely Lotita on her way to work. My favourite time was returning to DPE in the evening and enjoying a cup of coffee and looking down at the bright lights of Apia. Thank you for an amazing stay

I had to delay my stay they never offered to swap a week instead they cancelled and charged for my room. Probably put it back up on *********** to be filled by someone else. They told me they were booked out the week I arrived which was two weeks later but they still had rooms on *********** for sale. No partial refund no swapping the week. A misleading and greedy hotel.

The view from the hotel is breathtaking. If you want weekend to unwind and relax that's the place to be. The staff are friendly and very helpful. It's a family oriented place and you're at peace the moment you arrive. Best to talk warm clothes as it can be cold at night.
