During the years many new Hotels and Beach Fales (huts) have been coming and going. Huts have been built on the beach and when the work is finished the owner will sit back and wait for the tourists. After a few weeks without a guest they take the bus to Apia to make a complaint to the Tourist Authority, why nobody is coming their way.
After a few years in the business we know that it takes a bit more than that to get established. Although Tourism is the number one revenue earner in Samoa there is still very little knowledge about what is required to make a hotel profitable and working. The ones who have been around for some time knows that you have to hang in there with both hands and feet to survive. We do what we can, usually with very little money, to raise the quality and improve the experience for our visitors. Unfortunately we sometimes get tourists to Samoa that think that accommodation and food should be almost for free although we pay more for our food shopping than you would do in New Zealand and Australia.
One very good thing is that we are willing to learn what we can do better and improve, so please let us know and give us your comments.

The Season from December – March has often been called the rainy season or wet season and many visitors have decided not to go to Samoa because of the weather. The truth is that we have fantastic weather during this time and most rain comes during the night. The wind is less strong which makes it slightly warmer if you go inland. Most of our visiting guests like to sit right on the beach were it is nice and cool always.
Please add anything about our hotels, resorts and beach fales in Samoa
