Inside Fale
|
Samoa Vacations Resort is set on the popular beach at Manase Village on the north east coast of Savai'i.
There are six beachfront fales which are screened from the ocean with palm trees giving them great privacy. Two fales are behind, backing the road, with another ten garden fales across the road.
Vacations is renowned for its excellent service and fantastic food served in its Samoan restaurant. A large wooden deck has been built overlooking the beach and is a great place to enjoy a beer at sunset.
Overall this is one of best beach fales to relax, enjoy privacy and meet fellow travellers.

Getting There:
Polynesian Airlines offers fights from Faleolo Intternational Airport on the north west coast of Upolu to Moata Airport, about five km from Salelologa Town on the south eastern tip of Savai'i. Cost is about ST$50 one way with five flights per day and take just 20 minutes offering aerial sightseeing on the way. Ferries depart Mulifanua Wharf on eastern Upolu five times a day, costing just ST$7 one way and taking 1 hour and 15 minutes. There's a twice daily fast ferry taking just 45-minutes and costing a couple dollars more.
The easiest way to get to Vacations at Manase is to take the Green Turtle Tour which stops at the blowholes every day. Green Turtle are based in Salelologa and depart each day at 8am from Salelologa Wharf and reaches Manase at 9am. Simply purchase your travel pass which enables you to hop-on and hop-off the bus as many times as you like during your stay and take a scenic and educational tour en-route.
A taxi direct to Manase from Salelologa Wharf will cost about ST$30 (takes 50 minutes).
Car rental is best arranged from Apia and brought with you on the ferry.
There is a limited bus service to Manase but you will probably find one awaiting the ferry at Salelologa Wharf, although it is likely to be crowded.
