This was a serene little spot, felt very safe here as a solo traveler. Staff were kind, everything was clean and the pool was great. My only complaint would be that it was so noisy every night! The chickens and dogs were going off constantly and I slept very poorly even with earplugs in. Would be fine for a heavy sleeper though!

I stayed here for two weeks and during my stay, it was pretty good. The breakfast was really nice, and the staff there were pretty friendly and always asked if we needed something. The room we stayed at was nice the touch with the flowers was beautiful (thank you for following my request), but the only downside was the ants. Every single day and night we had to clean out the bin and wipe down the walls and floor due to the ants roaming around. Other than that my experience was really nice thank you!

I suggest installing fans in the communal bathrooms. It’s like a sauna in there. From a safety perspective, I suggest moving the mirror and shelf in the bathroom for number 10. I almost fell stepping backwards while facing the mirror. The shower floor splash guard is right behind and underneath if you stand facing the mirror, and you have the sink to your left.

I like boutique hotels and this establishment follows those sort of lines - historical artefacts, antique furniture and photos showcasing the local Apia history dating back 100 years and more. The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. Breakfast was nicely presented.
