Sheraton to offer ‘best of both worlds’ in Samoa

With Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey’s Hotel and Bungalows opening within the last quarter of 2015, director of sales and marketing Carl Amos says visitors to Samoa will get ‘the best of both worlds’.

“The fact that the new property will be under the Sheraton brand means Samoa can now say it has two Sheraton properties in the destination.

“A great town hotel which has all the business facilities but still looks after the leisure traveller, and then has a 133 room resort 40 minutes away lagoon side, all ocean facing rooms and fully refurbished as well.

“It means people can split their time evenly between being in Apia and being out on the coast.”

The new property will be located in Apia and will feature 175 rooms and bungalows along with a convention centre and ballroom.

Amos says he expects conference and business meetings to increase with the new facilties.

“The new facilities also gives us the ability to bid for larger destination quotes, which is a big plus.

“We can house all visiting delegates with our 175 rooms, meaning they can come on site, do the conference, stay on and there’s no logistical issues - which is what has been a problem in the last year - there’s not one property that can house and also take an event on that’s for a large number of delegates, so that’s big for us.”
