Actually everything isn't new, it's just the same stuff. The only things that are new are the new ventilation system, hairdryer, and the wallpaper in the main room has been torn down and the walls are just painted now. You could tell everything was the same stuff, since it was worn, more than it would be from just a couple of months. The carpet looked the same too, worn and stains in different areas, definately not new either. The furniture is also the same, and not new. We just stayed in Samoa two weeks ago, and were disapponted that nothing was new. The painting does help lighten up the room a bit though!!!
