A raft of Hollywood stars have stayed there since the filming of 'Return to Paradise' in Samoa, as well as Presidents and Royalty. So many kiwi Samoans have had formative experiences at the huge family orientated hotel, that when Cyclone Evan wiped out its infrastructure in 2012, it was a huge blow for Samoa and also for the many Samoans abroad.

After three years of rebuilding, today heralds a new era in Samoa Tourism and thousands of visitors around the globe will be flooding back to take a look at the resurrection of this grand old dame.
