Apaula Heights Lounge

The place is beautiful and the hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming. The room was even more spacious than I expected. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, generous, and a perfect way to start the day. Highly recommended!

The host were amazing and so helpful.

Great breakfast

The whole family was sooo nice, very helpful and friendly. The location is beautiful and the breakfast was really delicious and the portion was really big.

The stay overall was pretty good. The room had all you need, including a fan and much needed mosquito coils. Big tasty breakfast. The landlady was nice and helpful and cooked a very tasty dinner (dinner available on request). It's about a 15 minutes walk into the city down the hill.

The landlord seemed to have no love for his country and its people, which left me feel strange on the sightseeing tours he offered. Also felt like I was overcharged, especially as I found out that just the taxi fare (without sightseeing) would have been about half the price of what he stated. Personally I would explore Apia on foot next time, or just head out to one of the beach fales right away.

I enjoyed my stay at Apaula Heights Lounge. Josie, the owner, was very helpful and made sure my stay is as good as possible. I really appreciate her waking up early morning just to check me in because my flight arrived in early morning hours. Breakfast was tasty and very big portion. Room was spacious and bed comfortable. I also enjoyed having a fan in my room that really helped with the heat.

I loved the little wooden cabin, like a Wendy house, with its sunny deck overlooking Apia; and the outside shower surrounded by tropical plants. The bed is firm but very comfortable. The breakfast is huge and varied, with lots of fruit, real coffee and decent bread. It's not far from the centre, you can walk in 15/20 minutes down hill, though you'd probably want a taxi coming back. (It's not on a bus route)

If I wanted to nit pick i could say that despite being set quite high up above the town, the noise drifts up in the evening - music from a club or bar, a church service. The acoustics are surprising. But it still has a peaceful air. The property is home to a large pack of dogs, which might be something to consider if you're nervous around them. They didn't bother me while I was there and didn't seem to bark much. There are a few mosquitoes around, and holes around the door where they could come in, but I only heard one in the room. Quite a few outside. Bring repellent.
