Official Statement & Update #1 from Clearwater Sports Resort
Miraculously Sa’Moana Resort has been spared any serious damage from the recent earthquake and the following Tsunami. All our guests were quickly and safely evacuated to high ground and after the all clear were returned to the resort to resume their holidays.
Faleolo International Airport is fully operational as is the business centre and Capital Apia.
Superficial damage was quickly repaired and most of that was wave damage to the resort grounds. The swimming pool is expected to be running within the next 24 hrs. Though one of the resort boats has been damaged Surf-2 our 34ft. twin hulled people mover is available but at this stage we’ll need to temporarily reduce surfer guest numbers to 10 to ensure space and comfort onboard.
All other aspects of the resort are operating as normal and guest’s spirits are both positive and high.
Our heartfelt thoughts and sympathy go out to all who are suffering from the tragic loss of loved ones, friends and their possessions some of those are our industry friends here on island. The Owners, Management and staff of Sa’Moana Resort have offered their help and assistance where they can, whatever we can help with we’ll give.
It is amazing, and very grounding, to realize that our business has been spared, but spared we have been. To able to continue carry on business in times like these, and to continue our support of this beautiful country of Samoa, is very humbling.
