The Lodge is basic. If you are after a luxurious vacation I suggest forgetting coming to this part of the world. The cost is just 50USD per person and that includes your three meals a day (costs less if you want to cater for yourself, however, nothing in the way of other food options on the island unless you bring your own from Pago Pago!)
The rooms have a ceiling fan, hot water shower and are clean. The main lodge room where the meals are served has a TV (dont get excited though, American Samoa doesnt have options!). You can watch from the Video Selection. There are plenty of books too if you wish to read.
Unique Qualities: The Lodge is completely in keeping within the enviroment of the Manu'a islands. It is friendly, laidback, helpful, and no thrills. You may also get the chance to share the dinner table with some wonderfully interesting people, such as marine biologists or those in search of nirvana. Yet all these aspects make it such a charming and enjoyable experience. The owners are wonderfully helpful and the place feels more like a homestay with your out of town cousins who you always enjoy visting but only get the chance to periodically. Thanks Jim for the wonderful memories!
