It was excellent. We arrived on a Sunday which is when most stores in Samoa are closed, however the hotel held our bags and provided excellent information on where to go and what would be open. Pool was nice and room was good.

Had a fantastic time. Reception manned 24hrs and all the staff were very helpful and answered any questions we had. Breakfast was delicious, different every day including local dishes. Room was nice and cool, had a fridge to keep drinks cold and kettle to make tea or coffee. TV had a choice of channels. Room cleaned daily. Had a patio to sit outside with chairs and table. Also could sit by or swim in pool.

This was booked advance and paid for online (was only booked as many places ian Apia were already fully booked) for the weekend for my mum. When they got there, they checked in and paid 50 tala for the key deposit which was fine but upon check out, they were told that they had to pay an extra 75 tala as the booking was now 500 tala per night! My mum did not pay but it was like they were trying to get extra money out of her when that price was not advertised online. Does not leave a great taste.

Room was clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed, modern air con and shower. Shower was hot in the afternoon but cold in the early morning. Pool was refreshing. Good restaurants very close by and convenience stores. Staff were very friendly, especially the lady who was on night shift and waited with me for my airport transfer at 4am. Recommend seeking assistance from reception to book transfer to airport as you will probably get far better price and service than I did booking it myself.

Overall, a beautiful, quaint motel with a colonial style lobby. It's more like a motel than a hotel. Rooms were clean and had the basics I needed so it sufficed for my needs. Kitchen was open and accessible to anyone if you needed it. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Cable/TV channels were VERY limited, but makes for a great excuse to get outdoors which is where the real beauty is anyway. There were no sidewalks if you try to walk from the motel to anywhere nearby but its safe enough on the side of the street, just stay clear of traffic and not at night time. Taxi transportation was nearby and service was quick. The Outrigger was close enough to the town area to find some great things to do and places to eat. My only disappointment was that there was no hot water in our room. We had hot water only on our first day there then I guess they turn it off at some point. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast could be better as portions are way too small and I really like to dish my own food. I give it 5 stars for customer service, cleanliness and convenience!

The receptionist was very welcoming. The room was basic, had air conditioning. Breakfast was included. They had a pool. I didn’t like that they didn’t clean the rooms every day, no shampoo. They didn’t always have the cushions out in the pool area which made it uncomfortable to sit there. When asking the staff for advice regarding lunch options, they couldn’t help us.

Unfortunately I didnt book a room with aircon so we literally slept with the fan on top of us. The shower floor upstairs was a bit unstable - I hope its safe. But overall Im so glad we were there, its unique and bungalow type, the staff were amazing and I cant wait to go back.

lovely property right in the main town. Great spot if you need to stopover before the airport. Well maintained, lovely staff who were so helpful to me when I showed up in Samoa with very little planned, good price. Only thing I would note is I stayed in a fale which was very comfortable but I made the rookie mistake of not bringing bug spray and despite the mosquito net, got bit quite a bit (mosquitos love me). Be mindful of having bug spray if you're staying in the outdoor accommodation.
