Although most people don't automatically think about going to American Samoa when they are booking a vacation, it is swiftly becoming one of the premier destinations in the world. And, labeled as the heartbeat of it all is Pago Pago.

With its crystal blue and amazingly deep waters, Pago Pago's harbor was actually formed by a collapsed volcanic crater and gives Pago Pago a very unique feel from the first time that you step off the boat or plane. Although the town of Pago Pago has less than 4,000 residents, this island paradise lacks nothing in the way of a true island get-a-way. There are many different hotels, resorts, inns, and bed and breakfasts for you to choose from to create the perfect vacation for you and your family when you come here. And, although most are more expensive than some of their neighboring cities and towns, you will enjoy more upscale surroundings in the hotels that line the downtown area in Pago Pago.

One of the best known inns here in Pago Pago, is the Sadie Thompson Inn. This beautiful Inn gained its name from Somerset Maugham's novel “Rain”, which he wrote after visiting the beautiful city of Pago Pago. The Sadie Thompson Inn is located in the very heart of downtown and has been completely redone to create more modern rooms for business travelers and vacationers alike. Although it is a smaller inn, the fourteen rooms are now completely state of the art and all include such amenities as internet access, cable TV, DVD players, and air conditioning standard. Each room also has a queen size bed, a mini bar, and a lounge area. Some of the luxury rooms include a view of the blue waters of the harbor and whirlpool bathtubs. There are also two apartments that you can rent if you are staying just a little longer than normal. Each guest also has access to the 24 hour front desk and the laundry service.

Other amenities that you will find at the Sadie Thompson Inn include room service from the famed Sadie's Restaurant, where you will find all sorts of local and international favorites that will please both your mouth and your wallet. There are also tea and coffee making areas in the Inn itself, that are open day and night, so you will never have to search far for a great cup of joe. You can also request irons, hair dryers, maid service, and even use the on-site laundry facility. The staff at the Inn is always eager to help with anything that they can to make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable.

Of course, what great Inn would be complete without a fine restaurant and bar? The Sadie Thompson Inn lives up to every other vacation spot with it's own wonderful dining experiences. Sadie's Restaurant has been gracing customers with food and entertainment for over 18 years and is still going strong. With its Polynesian flair, the tropical island dishes, and the wonderful weekly entertainment, it's no wonder that the restaurant is a favorite among both the locals and the visitors to Pago Pago.

While staying at the Sadie Thompson Inn, you can also rent a car at a preferred rate if you feel the need to explore on your own. This special pricing makes it a great way for guests to see more of Pago Pago than they can on foot, and also to visit some of the other local towns and villages nearby. So, when you are booking your next vacation experience, try Pago Pago and the Sadie Thompson Inn. You'll only be sorry if you don't go.
