With historical perspective, it’s an enduring journey for the Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey’s Hotel. What started as a simple Aggie Grey’s Hotel in Apia… is now one of the finest hotels in all of South Pacific Samoa. From catering to soldiers in WWII to hosting Hollywood’s finest and now an iconic Marriott property, it has come quite the distance! While the humble walls of yesteryears have given way to colonial-inspired structures and clean lines, what has not changed is the impeccable service and thoughtful touch.
From the moment they set foot on the property, guests are treated to a world of quiet luxuries and timeless elegance. There are 12 room categories to call home for the holidays, including Bungalows, Classic Rooms and Harbour View rooms. Like the facade, the interiors go for minimalist, understated aesthetics.
Guests can enjoy expansive spaces with beautiful views of the island’s natural beauty. Each room category comes with a choice of bed configuration. While some boast of stately king beds, others feature queen and spacious double beds, ensuring the Aggie Grey Hotel caters to a wide variety of travellers — from couples and families to groups. The ensuite bathrooms, a mix of marble and wooden accents, come with modern amenities like bathtubs, single vanities, and select toiletries for a touch of indulgence.
The Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey’s Hotel & Bungalows offers its diners nearly around-the-clock dining facilities. The poolside Feast Restaurant operates from 6:30AM – 9:30PM with complimentary breakfast buffets, a la carte lunches and dinners. Here, patrons can enjoy international and local fare in a semi open-air setting where tasteful food and friendly chatter come together for good times.
Speaking of, the hotel’s Lobby Bar is always prepped for cold beverages and cocktails! The bar exudes a sixties’ vibe with a marble staircase, overhead and profile lights, and the historically-accurate wooden bar. Settle onto a barstool or one of the many tables and order a fruity tropical cocktail, shake up an Old Fashioned or something debonair like a vodka martini with two olives (shaken, not stirred). Feel free to ask for rollicking tales of Aggie Grey and the many celebrities who graced this bar over the decades – you’ll not be disappointed.
The resort’s lagoon pool and its swim-up pool bar are also essential for a great holiday! Jump in, splash around and breast-stroke energetically towards the pool bar for a stubby – or two.
Enter the Tea Lounge for an afternoon of high-tea with sweet treats, savoury snacks. Best paired with hotel lore, anecdotes and a touch of gossip. Plus, did we mention the interiors are oh-so-instagram-worthy?! There’s also the Lobby Lounge Bar. It’s a more communal space where guests can swoop in for light bites and drinks. Enjoy live cultural performances by local artists, plus an open-air setting for unhurried evenings.
When it comes to things to do in and around the Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey’s, there’s plenty of choices. Within the premises, guests can take a stroll and stretch their legs; jump into the lagoon pool; enjoy a quiet sunrise and sunset from their balcony with a cup of their favourite beverage.
But there’s so much to explore beyond the hotel grounds. Tee-time regulars will appreciate the easy access to the Royal Samoa and Faleata golf courses. Both of them are under seven km from the resort and can be reached via a hire-car. Faleata is an 18-hole course with a driving range, clubhouse and walking trails – apt for first-time putters. The nine-hole Royal Samoa Golf Course, on the other hand, with its scenic hilly terrain and challenging holes are better suited to veteran club swingers.
For water activities enthusiasts, there’s no better spot than the Palolo Deep Marine Reserve. In the reserve is a blue-hole that’s ripe for diving, snorkeling and swimming. It has a significant flora and fauna, plus diving and snorkelling gear can be easily rented. The best part — it’s only a 10 minute walk from the hotel, meaning guests can escape to this slice of paradise on a regular basis on their Samoa holiday.
For a taste of culture, travellers might want to check out Villa Vailima — the residence of none other than Robert Louis Stevenson himself. Fondly nicknamed Tusitala (Teller of Tales) by the locals, Stevenson settled in Samoa during his twilight years and now rests in peace atop Mt. Vaea. His stately home is now a museum dedicated to his life and works.
