Moanalisa Hotel

Samoa’s Moanalisa Hotel changes ownership

Samoan Independent Seventh Day Adventist Church are the new owners.

It is not known what they paid for the hotel but an RNZ Pacific correspondent said it was not close to the asking price of 14 million tālā.

The hotel was owned and managed by the wife and daughters of former politician Tialavea Tionisio Hunt.

Attempts to seek comments from the new owners as well as the Hunt family have been unsuccessful.
