Well we went in aug and had samoa. I didnt know it was that hard to get. We did request it on our reservation which we only made about 3 months out. We have stayed in Niuie, but no more since it turned into smoking and have stayed in Aeotearoa. It was a little further walk from the pool then we would have liked and we encountered luau traffic and heard the music once or twice. Our view there was of the monorail. It was really bright and sunny in that room. Our samoa room was 1602 ground floor, volcano pool view. Excellent according to the 3 ds. Great for pool runs and mug runs etc.
