The Samoan Outrigger Hotel

Felt right at home n a garden fele with shared facilities. Great for solo travellers.

Lovely staff, opposite taxis and mini mart, everything well maintained and clean.

Close to town, safe in the fale could be on a different side so you can easily walk to the deck, some mini fans in the fale would also be great as it does get quite hot. The staff is super friendly and breakfast was delicious. Overall a great budget accommodation.

Fairly quiet location near Apia. Right by taxi and mini mart.

Loved breakfast- fresh fruit, pancakes and toast, and swimming in the pool- cool and big.

We picked the Outrigger Hotel for no particular reason but it turned out to be a great decision. On arrival we warmly welcomed and shown to our Fales. The Fale was very comfortable and you enjoy all the facilities of the hotel but they are outdoor accommodation. Despite the mosquito net I was molested the first night by the little so and so's. Next morning I asked for an up grade to a regular room this was no problem to ever helpful staff and I was given a nice air conditioned room. We were there for 4 nights and enjoyed our stay. We also hired a car from the hotel to explore the island which is a tropical paradise no wonder Robert Louis Stephenson chose to live there.

Nice big house, few fales in the garden nice pool N breakfast. Glad to have 2 fans in the room, very hot in them.. Barking dogs all night at the streets but otherwise pretty quiet. Handy supermarket next door for you to cook like a backpackers :) or buy cheap bears Thats a bonus.

This place is not close to the beach, don't book it if u want a beach holiday. Close to 2 good restaurants. Noisy gym and useful market just cross the road. We end up cancel 3 nights and hire a taxi and drove to a place on the beach, 50 minutes drive. Generally not a bad place for budget travelers. Have cooking facilities and nice little pool in the garden. We stayed in the fale, unique experience.

The Samoan Outrigger Hotel was a treasure. I'm so glad we chose to stay here. We spent a few nights in the fales for the experience, then moved into rooms for the rest of our stay. The breakfast was a lovely way to start the day and the pool was a cool refresher at the end of the day. It was lovely to sit outside in the cool of the evening and chat with other guests.

Our first trip to Samoa and we choose the Outrigger after a lot of searching similar accommodation. We had a look at similar nearby properties whilst there, but they didn't have the lovely big garden area and big pool. The pool and grounds were well maintained, including a lovely little cat called 'Ricky Baker'. The hotel is adjacent to a gym and their classes were noisy, sometimes starting at 6.45 am, and through the day making a sleep in, or afternoon rest difficult. The room was clean, and we had an en suite, though none of the usual shampoo and conditioner, or hand lotions were provided. The internet is really expensive at the hotel, so get a free Blue Sky card at the airport, or at various locations (5 Tala for 5 days, versus 25 Tala at the hotel for 2 hours). The room we had had a damaged sliding door making it really difficult to open and close as the sliding wheel mechanism was worn (this was mentioned in the review we were given to be filled in as we were leaving). The air conditioning was efficient and adequate to our needs. Being in a downstairs room meant a lot of noise at times from the upstairs guests walking on the wooden floors.
