Samoa - nice place but it rains a lot at this time of the year. Coconuts is a beautiful resort with some great waves close by and some amazing food. Your lady will enjoy herself. Not a lot of shopping but a nice place to relax. We spent 9 days there in April last year and sadly there was basically no swell during our visit. But we still found waves most days. There are lots of slabs which make for some fun takeoffs and lots of other waves of all types. Sadly we never really got any of the good ones whilst we were there. Start praying for some early season lows from the southern ocean. Lots of amazing setups. Like lots of places in the pacific there are long lulls between sets which can cause issues when there is no swell as everyone tends to go to the same place. When there is swell, like anywhere, there are loads of spots. I made this vid of our trip - first effort at editing so do not laugh too much
Would I go back? Not sure to be honest.....there are lots of places I would like to go to before I venture back but I really enjoyed my time there and they have a beautiful local beer. Its certainly not northern Sumatra from a wave perspective and its not Fiji from a tourist perspective....but its a really nice place and the people are great. Well worth a visit for sure. If you fancy a glass of wine make sure you take lots of your own.
