We arrived exhausted after our travels in the early hours of the morning, we walked through the lush garden, into the calm reception area where we were welcomed by Claus, the owner. It was great start. Claus helped us to hire a car, gave good local advice for eating out and sightseeing. Claus even helped us to have our marriage... More

The staff are friendly... More

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
