The Samoan Outrigger Hotel

Wouldn’t recommend for families especially if looking to book the traditional Fale. Location of property isn’t far from town so easy to find. I was booked to stay 2 nights but unfortunately only stayed one night given how noisy and uncomfortable the bedding was. Don’t take huge suitcases as the only access to the fales are steep stairs. Budget hotel so you pay for what you get. Very noisy due to local dogs who barked nonstop for hours. Shared bathroom facilities which were quite dated. Simply a bed to rest on and nothing else.

Daily breakfast was nice, you don’t have a choice, everyone gets the same. The showers are often cold in the am or late pm. Lucky it’s pretty warm there. Rooms are very basic. Staff are absolutely gorgeous.

We had a mixed experience and would prefer other hotels if we return to Apia. If you need a quiet place you might want to consider booking another hotel, the street corner Outrigger is located, is very (very!) busy, even during the night. Breakfast is served (no buffet). When you ask for some more toast with butter and jam, then you get a tiny bit of butter and a teaspoon of jam - it really felt odd, appeared like they ran out of butter and jam. The pool and garden are nice indeed. We did not feel that the staff was going above and beyond: Any question or ask "out of the ordinary hotel related", they just shrugged their shoulders. The 24/7 reception desk sounds good, but when we arrived at the hotel at about 10.30 pm, the receptionist was sleeping on the sofa. For what they offer I believe they are overpriced. You will find better deals. Keep in mind: Private restaurants have closed on Sundays!

The aesthetic of the hotel was my favorite part. The traditional fales were really cool!

The spirit of charm and tranquility is unmatched in Samoa. Every room option has a certain unique vibe and the breakfast was always diverse and yummmy! If you’re considering an authentic chill affordable getaway , stay here . Faafetai Lava.

We stayed for 5 nights in a room and it was lovely. The room was comfortable and the facilities well maintained and clean. The outdoor area is also great. All the staff were super friendly and kind. We recommend it.

Loved the ambience of the hotel. It was like living in another era of Samoa. Great service and delicious breakfast.

Feels like home.Love the service and friendly staff. Love everything about this place.

We loved this hotel so much, that we came back and stayed again at the end of our trip. Super clean, we loved the staff, the fales and rooms were beautiful, and the pool and yard is stunning.

simple things such as a soap dispenser in the bathroom would have been better. In the Fale (hut style open area), the mobile phone charging could have been at a lower level. the power switch should be lowered as well. the path besides the main reception should be lighted better as it has step in the path causing to stumble at night.
