Tahiti or Tonga or Samoa ???

Hi

Which destination would you choose for a relaxing holiday of approx 7-10 days between Tahiti / Tonga / Samoa and why ?

Been to the Cook Islands which we adored and are looking at something similar


Thanks

Tonga and Samoa are going to be more layback like the Cook Islands I'd suspect than Tahiti, and cheaper.
Only downside is that are not so much on trans Pacific stopping routes and so you could pay more to get there.

Have you considered Bora Bora? Much more elegant than Tahiti.
The Bora Bora Lagoon Resort has thatched bungalows and is surrounded by crystal-clear water. The overwater bungalows at the end have the maxumim amount of seclusion one can get. It's beautiful there!

Samoa Is the "real deal" South Pacific in other words if you love The Pacific you will love Samoa. While the beaches may not be as sensational as the Cooks the cultural experience of Samoa is probably better. The markets, Robert Louis Stevenson's house and the neighbouring Islands espcially American Samoa are all worth a visit. The original Aggie Greys is one of the South Pacific gems, but I would suggest for accomodation and a relaxing holiday that you consider the resort http://www.aggiegreys.com/resort/resort.htm
