Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We flew to Pago Pago to visit the National Park. There are only a handful of hotels to choose from. We selected Tradewinds Hotel and were very happy with our choice. There are only 2 flights per week from Honolulu and so we knew we would want amenities at our hotel. The restaurant serves free continental breakfast to in-house guests. It is adequate, but nothing special. They do have a menu you can also order from. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there over our visit. The food is excellent! There is also a fitness room and an outdoor pool. A gift shop is available for supplies and souvenirs. The staff was very courteous and professional. The room was very clean as was the hotel. We planned to rent a car at the hotel, but none were available. We hired a taxi to tour the island and visit the National Park. We were charged $20 per hour and he (Tommy) was very helpful and knowledgeable. This hotel is about 20 minutes from the actual town of Pago Pago. So, you can't really walk to shops etc. However, the town of Pago Pago doesn't have a lot going on either. But the location may be a deciding factor for some. However, we are glad we stayed there and unless you want to be by the beach, I can highly recommend Tradewinds.

After Hawaiian Airlines delayed my flight to Honolulu until the next morning, I was sent here (I stayed at an AirBNB the rest of the trip). Check in took forever, due to Hawaiian’s incompetence in not contacting the hotel.

The lobby looks nice, I hear it’s the nicest hotel on the island. Room itself was basic, but I was only there about six hours so didn’t go over it with a fine toothed comb. Shower was OK.

The hotel wanted $5 a day for internet! That’s not something I am used to, anywhere I stay! Since I was only going to use it for ten minutes tops, I declined.

This hotel is just adequate, despite its efforts to look nicer than it is. Our bathroom had mold and something nasty streaked across the mirror. The restaurant is barely average. The hotel bills itself as “American-style” and caters to tourists, but almost none of the staff speak English. I don’t expect everyone to speak my language when traveling abroad, but it’s nice to be able to ask basic questions about menus, activities, or ordering a coffee and be able to get an answer. The pool area and reliable hot water are the nicest things about staying here.

The location is not ideal. Walking around from the hotel is loud with industrial noise. Be careful at crosswalks because unlike other parts of the island, they don’t stop. The locals in this area do not greet you or smile when you pass as on the rest of the island. It just seems less friendly.

For a much better experience, if more rustic, get out of Tafuna and stay at Sadie’s by the Sea. The staff are friendlier, the bed is more comfortable, and the area is full of shade, bird calls, and cool breezes. The locals and exceptionally friendly and helpful there as well.

1 star is not low enough for this restaurant!

We had a very unfortunate experience. The service was extremely bad! There were only 4 tables of customers with 2 servers on duty, yet it took forever to get simple beverages like coffee and water. The food was so salty we had to return it and ask for it to be removed from our ticket. There were 4 of us adults in our party and our meals all arrived at different times, at least 10-12 minutes apart!

Not many options for lodging on the island and Tradewinds is your best option. Good location near airport and staff is outstanding. Rooms are adequate and recommend you
get a Suite for more room. Found mattresses were overdue to be replaced. Get room service everyday. Restaurant is good albeit portions are large. Free continental breakfast is limited. You can order breakfast off the menu and food was good. Nice pool although had only 3 loungers .

If you're in Pago Pago, you're either here on business or visiting family. This is not the tourist resort area that is found in other areas. Given that, the Tradewinds is the only practical hotel choice for most people.

I am here on business. The hotel has free wired Internet in the room. It's slow but it's free and it mostly works. Bring your own cable. There is WiFi in the coffee shop but I didn't try it.

The room does not have a hair dryer, or an iron & ironing board. I asked for the iron and was met with a panicked look at the front desk. 24 hours later, there was still no iron. Turn down service came and I asked again and was brought a board and iron right away. The iron didn't work. The humidity gets rid of wrinkles or so I told myself.

There is a hot water heater and instant coffee/tea packets in the room. There is a refrigerator too. The bed was comfortable but the room had a worn and faded look. This was okay with me since the room was also clean. It is quiet at night from both street and hotel traffic. During the day, the hall speakers play the hotel music loud enough to block out the television.

Everyone on the staff was friendly. I had pastries and coffee in the cafe daily. Meals can be charged to the room. A late check-out fee is 1/2 of the room rate which was $60 for me. This gives you the room until 6:00 pm when it's time to get to the airport 5 hours early. Everyone on island turns out to send people off and greet the incoming flight so the airport is packed.

There's a pool but it's been raining the whole week so I never went swimming. Pack an umbrella.

The Tradewinds hotel in American Samoa was great. The rooms were spacious, and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. When you travel the Pacific, you learn to expect a few bugs and geckos. The Tradewinds was an exception -- not one bug or lizard in sight! Also, the free airport shuttle service was great - even when we had to return to the hotel for a forgotten item!

The hotel restuarant, Equator, was excellent. Meals ranged from $20 - 25, which was a little pricey for me, but well worth it. The dishes were colorful, flavorful, and unique. (No traditional Samoa food available at the Equator.)

as other reviewers have said this is probably the cleanest hotel in American Samoa. It is very average in all respects. seems to have all the business travelers especially US government contracts. If there was a decent competitor I think business would go elsewhere.

Avoid the Equator restaurant if you can. The Kitchen depends heavily on a can opener, despite marketing their specials as chef creations. Soup $6.00 is canned and not the better brands, so is the juice, the fruit. warm ice-burg lettuce in their salads. There are definitely better choices of places to eat in the area not far away and use fresh ingredients.

We are a local family who have been on island for quite a few years, so know what to expect from island service. We visit the equator restaurant once every couple of years in the hope that the food and the service has improved with a change of staff and/or management. Tonight was the straw that broke the camels back. We didn't actually have to wait long for our meal, however the Saimin noodles that my daughter's ordered were discusting and tasted like dishwater, when this was brought to the waitresses attention nothing was rectified, and we payed the full price. Asking for anything additional like chille or top up of drinks was meet with a scowl and even completely ignored. Compared to other restaurants in the area, the Equator Restaurant at the Tradewinds hotel charges a premium price without the premium service or food. You would be better off spending your money else where. We really don't mind spending good money for good food and service, but we will not be spending any further money at the Equator Restaurant.

What time is check in and check out?
Answer from Glen05
Honolulu, Hawaii10 contributions5 helpful votes
Talofa! The hotel indicates that check in is at 2 p.m. Check out is at noon. Several factors to remember for both these times... Hawaii flights arrive at 9 pm and leave at 11:30 pm. So, most travelers actually end up checking in at about 10 pm. The hotel has a half day rate so you can check out at 6 pm and catch the late flight. Hope this helps.
Answer from THManagement2015

Hi Laura J, If you are talking about the Manu'a Island Group, Polynesian Airlines (Tel16846999126) fly there three times a week. Flight time is about 35-40 minutes on a twin otter 19-seater plane. That is more reliable than the ferry service. The ferry sails there once a week when the ferry is passed by authorities to sail. The Aunu'u island group though have small alias servicing the islands everyday. Sail time is about 20-25 minutes. Hope this helps.

Hi there, do you have tentative dates for this event? We are currently doing construction of a new pavilion by the hotel and it is not expected to be completed until early September. If your booking is between now and then, i am afraid we are not able to accommodate it due to construction currently on going. Thank you for your inquiry. Please call 684-699-1000 if you need additional information or email info@tradewinds.as or gm@tradewinds.as Regards
