He's there in the building most of the time and available to help guests with all kinds of issues (hire cars, getting married, restaurants, sightseeing etc) The Hotel is not 5* but it's a clean well presented heritage house. The staff are friendly... More

My friend and I spend a week at Outrigger Hotel, in one of the excotic Fala's, being so far away from home, we couldn't feel more welcome and at home.

The Outrigger is by far Apia's best budget accommodation. The staff are friendly and keen to assist with any of your needs. All visitors, families and individuals, young and old are made to feel welcome and soon relax into fa'a Samoa (the Samoan way). I recommend a refreshing dip in the crystal clear pool after a long day of sight-seeing... More
