Nice facilities, ok location.

Very nice facilities, with fences which made me feel safe. Travelled solo, and had a good time. Cheap taxi, 5 Tala to city Centre.

Convenient and quality budget stay

Stayed inside the house instead of the fales. Pretty clean room, cleaned every day. Quite nice tiled bathroom. Amazing breakfast every day and it's a very social place. The pool feels great when its sunny outside and the landscape is very well cared for. Within walking distance of great restaurants and two grocery stores. The parking lot fits 4 cars slanted. If it's full, you can park head-in across the street. The grounds feel very safe because the property is monitored 24/7, the gate has to be manually openned after 6pm, and the gate is locked after 11pm. You can ask the staff to open the gate as needed. The hotel told me who to contact for my airport pick up and also helped me book for fiafia nights.They sell bottled water if you forget to get your own at one of the grocery stores.

Great value for an aircon room with pool access.

I liked the pool and aircon room. The staff were lovely and gave us good food recommendations and even helped us get a taxi (we didn’t want to drive)

Home away from home

This hotel has everything you need at a reasonable price. My wife and I have never felt more at home overseas. The breakfast was different everyday, very filling and tasty. The staff really are the highlight, they are willing to help in any way and go as far as remembering your name. Cannot fault this place at all, it’s clean, homely and a great place to stay! We will back for sure. Thankyou Samoan Outrigger
