visiting Samoa after 6 years

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Samoa

We are visiting Samoa again after a 6 year absence and would like some comment on changes since then, re new accomodation, price/attitude changes, infrastructure etc.
We are arriving at about 1am and departing about the same are wondering if facilities/options at the airport have improved.

thank you in advance.

No change at the airport except that it is older and dirtier.

Airpost seemed fine to me! Last year was my first time in Samoa and I loved the fact that it was sooooo laid back and without any touts or tourist crap! You can just go there and chill out, feel like youre visiting someone's country, not exploiting it. I stayed there for 50-60 tala per night including food. Youll still love it!
