Vaoto Lodge

Top choice in American Samoa


This friendly, family-run place sits pretty at the base of Mt Tumutumu. Its beach – and those nearby – offers sensational snorkelling; it's also within strolling distance of some terrific hikes. Units are simple but comfortable; all have ensuites. Delicious home-cooked meals (US$10 to US$20) are served communal-style.
