点评:Due to mixed reviews we just had to go and look for ourselves. If it is a sunny day and you have time to spare it’s worth a look but keep expectations low. This area has more surf than the rest of the Islands(very little don’t pack your surfboard) from a couple of view points but it is more of a look out the window as a drive by experience.
The Piula Cave Pool, to find it look closely at the very weathered signs(4 U turns later) the easiest way, is to look for the church, this is the entrance, just head down the driveway where you will be greeted by someone to take your money and guide you through rest of the way.. 10 each.. the cave is not open deemed to dangerous now and the pool itself is very rocky to get into. When we arrived at the pool(past the building not the first one that you it was full of local males having fun so my friend and I felt that it was an easy one to pass on and opted to make our way back to our resort Talimeasina Island and swim in the Ocean. Can’t rate this resort highly enough and we tried ALOT across Savai’i and Samoa.
If you are still reading my other tip is, if you plan to go to Savai’i book the ferry asap because it is always fully booked and standby lines are massive. I wouldn’t plan to spend more than 2 nights there because you can easily do the island in one day and the hotel Stevensons at Manase, it is perfect location was terrible in every other way(the photos are very very old) from sanitation and safety concerns in general from a fall down an unlit concrete drain to black mould and questionable food and electrics, this is not a place that I would return to but from what I saw definitely one of the better on the island. If you are someone who struggles with basic levels then maybe miss this Island.
The blowholes are unreal and we loved loved loved the waterfalls here.
翻译:由于评价褒贬不一,我们只好亲自去看看。如果天气晴朗,时间充裕,还是值得一看的,但不要抱太大希望。从几个角度来看,这片区域的海浪比岛上其他地区更猛烈(很少,千万别带冲浪板),但更像是一种自驾游的体验,从车窗外望出去的风景。
皮乌拉洞穴泳池,要找到它,仔细观察那些已经风化严重的指示牌(之后要掉头四次),最简单的方法是找到教堂,这是入口,沿着车道往下走,会有人迎接你,收下你的钱,然后带你走剩下的路……每人10英镑……洞穴目前尚未开放,被认为很危险,而且泳池本身也有很多岩石,很难进入。当我们到达游泳池时(穿过建筑物,这不是第一个),那里挤满了当地男性,他们在玩耍,所以我和我的朋友觉得很容易就放弃了,于是我们选择返回我们的度假村塔利梅西纳岛,在海里游泳。这个度假村的评价怎么高都不为过,我们在萨瓦伊岛和萨摩亚尝试了很多次。
如果你还在看我的另一个建议,如果你计划去萨瓦伊岛,尽快预订渡轮,因为它总是订满,而且候补队伍很长。我不会计划在那里呆超过2晚,因为你可以轻松地在一天内游览整个岛屿,而马纳塞的史蒂文森酒店,地理位置优越,但其他方面都很糟糕(照片非常旧),从卫生和安全问题到总体情况,从掉进没有照明的混凝土排水沟到黑色霉菌,再到可疑的食物和电器,这不是一个我会再来的地方,但从我所看到的来看,这绝对是岛上最好的地方之一。如果你是一个在基本水平上挣扎的人,那么也许错过这个岛屿。
这里的喷水孔美得令人难以置信,我们非常喜欢这里的瀑布。
