Anivas Place: guesthouse
in Apia
|
More than half of the 80.000 visitors who come to Samoa every year are Samoans working abroad, visiting their villages and families for a couple of days or weeks per
year.
The rest of the tourists come from New Zealand, Australia and the USA. - In recent years more and more Europeans discovered Samoa as a
travel-destination.
Besides the export of agricultural products and some industrial projects tourism is the most important income in Samoa . There are a few hotels, like Aggie Greys,
Kitano Tussitala in Apia or the Sinalei Beach Resort, Upolu, or Stevenson Resort in Manase, Savaii, who offer european standards at a rather high price and
sometimes poor service.
Aside from that, however, there are some clean, friendly and affordable guesthouses where you can get bed & breakfast for 30 € per day as a single and for about 20
€ in a double-room per person.
Anivas Place:
A warm and friendly establishment close to town, with simple neat, clean,
bright and comfortable rooms. The real soul of Aniva's place are the
owners. A mix of hearty Scottish humour and smiling Samoan hospitality
make this place really special. "Highly Recommended" as "Author's
Choice" by Lonely Planet.
An ideal base for both tourists and business travellers
alike. A Continental breakfast is included in the tarrif and dinners are
available.
