Samoans place an emphasis on social responsibility and compassion, strict adherence to responsibilities to one's kinsmen, and respect toward authority figures especially those in one's family. In a sense, the community is one big family, and all people must treat one another as such. Mutual respect and amenability leave no room for contempt or violence. These traits mark the distinctive social hierarchy in a Samoan community and promise lasting peace and happiness. This is Fa'a Samoa, the Samoan Way.
These same values extend toward guests on the island. Samoa boasts of its warm and friendly people as much as its lush and vibrant landscape. Hotels offer guests the Fa'a Samoa experience by treating them like friends and making them feel at home. They offer premium services that rival those of five-star hotels elsewhere while maintaining a low-key, homelike atmosphere.
Visitors to Upolu Island can certainly enjoy the land and seascape of Apia and neighboring communities. Free your mind from all worries as you take in the clear waters and refreshing breeze from the sea. Rest your eyes on the lush vegetation and colorful landscape. Further inland, there is so much to see and explore via efficient public transportation.
Guests who prefer to experience Fa'a Samoa at its best should book a stay at a simple family-run hotel to get the most authentic Samoan accommodation Apia can provide. These establishments are in close proximity to the Samoa's capital city Apia, where guests can enjoy local food and shopping. Guests can also enjoy the beach in nearby Vaiala or go snorkeling in the Palolo Deep Marine Reserve, home to many colorful fish species.
Along with the most comfortable accommodation Apia Samoa hotels can provide, guests can embark on a fascinating tour of Upolu Island and experience its rich history and culture. East of Apia, in the village of Vailele, visitors can explore the huge earth mound that hides magnificent pyramids beneath. Further east, the villages of Luatuanu'u, Lufilufi and Falefa can excite history-loving guests and residents alike with archeological sites that provide glimpses of the richness of Samoan culture as early as 3,000 years ago.
Anyone in search of the accommodation Apia can offer would therefore be delighted to know that there is so much to see and do in Samoa. Every guest can enjoy comfortable sleeping quarters, great food and stimulating trips. You can come here alone, with family or friends, or with your special someone, and enjoy the trip all the same. The peaceful atmosphere in Apia is certainly something you would want to come back to.
