Fiafia on point - What a night!!! Bobo is an excellent MC so funny and engaging. Each performance was fantastic with great mix of audience participation and teaching moments about cultural practices. The show culmiinated with an impressive Siva Afi performance which was amazing. The food was delicious too. A great night out and a great deal too.

Samoan experience - Great night. Our family especially enjoyed the dancing and fire display. The food was tasty and there was a good variety.

Best show in Upolu to date - The show was the best we’ve seen on island - as locals who have taken visiting to see their fare share of fia fia nights I’d say the fia fia night at le Manumea hotel is a must do. Whenever we have family on island from overseas we’ll be taking them to this show from now on.
Dinner was enjoyable and better than some higher priced resorts we’ve frequented. The shows host is a natural entertainer with great energy. Reception was helpful, communicative and accommodating while making our bookings - The dances were well choreographed and the costumes were lovely. The siva Afi (fire knife) performance was excellent.
Pro tip - email in or stop by in person as soon as possible to make your booking and pay ahead well before the Thursday show. Seating is limited so be sure to plan ahead. Arrive around 6:30 to enjoy a drink poolside before the crowds. Overall 10/10 - very much looking forward to sharing another fia fia night with family at le Manumea 🤍

The bestest food and entertainment. - One of the highlights of our trip in Samoa. Amazing food, funny and engaging MC, and beautiful dancers show casing Cook Islands and Samoan dances/traditions. Highly recommend.

Top 5 things to do in Upolu - We booked online, ahead of time and heard happy hour is 5-7, so we thought we get there early and have a drink. We were the first ones there. In hindsight, 6:30 would’ve been early enough. Everyone from the waitstaff, greeters, security, performers, everyone were so friendly and welcoming, and excited and proud to share their culture and history with us, just as we were to experience and celebrate in it. The buffet dinner was excellent. They offered coleslaw, chicken, oka, chop suey (YUMMM! Dying to try it and it didn’t disappoint), and a few other traditional dishes.
The performances began not long after dinner. It was quite modernised, (with modern music playing) compared to the cultural experience in Apia city, but it soon got into some more traditional performances, and the fire performances were a definite highlight. Such talented performers!! We loved it. The MC was great, and the audience involvement was done well too. A really beautiful space they’ve created there.
The parking is a bit sketchy but just park up the side street and you’ll be fine.

A fabulously entertaining evening, experienced with family and friends :) - From the purchasing of the Fiafia night tickets using Viator, to the successful and entertaining evening, our families had a wonderful experience, the food was devine, the best luau I've ever had from the taste to the texture, and the MC hosting the Fiafia was fab-u-lous, had us in fits of laughter from the beginning to the very end :) even our two children were amazed at the fire dance, to the all round entertainers, thank you to all those involved :)

Great fiafia not so great dinner menu - Fantastic entertainment however the food was not great. I especially felt sorry for my young kids who didn’t have any alternative choices like chips and nuggets or burgers only was the local Samoan food that they aren’t used to. I won’t be bringing kids here for dinner.

Avoid this place, scam job - Performance and entertainment was great. Service was poor. Food was just acceptable.
After ordering drinks before happy hour ended, got the drinks and paid extra. I talked to the waitress, she said the drinks didn't get placed until after happy hour ended. Well, that's not my problem. After some complaining, I did not get my way. I hope this negative review is worth the 10 talla that you scammed off me. Of all things in the world, I hate a Gotcha.
If one person goes somewhere else, I have done my job.
This would have been a 4 star but when it starts out bad, it's a sign of things to come.
