Loved our time in Matamanoa. First time to this resort, small island so quick to explore. Lovely gardens, food is excellent, pricey but being a remote resort it was to be expected. Staff always friendly and helpful. We spent hours snorkelling, very good experience with coral and fish in abundance. Highly recommend this resort. (Convenience shop doesn’t have variety so bring from the main island what you need)

The staff make Matamanoa so amazing. We met the Duty Manager on the ferry over, and after one conversation mentioning my wife’s birthday, she remembered and organised a cake and song for our table at dinner one evening. The facilities are fantastic. Snorkelling was incredible, and the tree top spa was breathtaking. 12/10 experience! ♥️🤿🌴

Tiny island paradise!! Stayed a week & couldn’t have stayed another, it was so sad to leave. Fell in love with the incredible staff, particularly Khatri, Sadrina, Mahns, Melea & Gabby. Nightly music so gorgeous. The feeling they create of ‘island home’ is something you won’t get at big resorts. Beautiful beaches, lots of wildlife, food was delicious - loved it & will be back. Vinaka Matamanoa!!

We loved the adults only aspect and the snorkelling and sealife was amazing. Tropical fish like confetti in the water on the 'drop-off'. The Beachfront Pool Bure is definitely the better room type to go for as you can walk straight onto the beach and there are no noisy birds (like in the villas - Nov-May). The food was average, very western and it would have been nice to see some more local dishes (the Kokoda dish was delicious). The cocktails and fruit juices were made from cordials which was very disappointing for a 4 star property. The resort staff were very friendly, helpful and happy.

Well, this was our 5th time in Fiji, and by far not the best, the beaches around the area were dirty, i.e. bottles and burnt rubbish that's not getting cleared. The breakfast is from a menu, and not buffet, which is what you would expect at this kind of resort. When you order a sirloin steak, you only get half of it. (The dinner menu in general was again, not what you would expect) There is no gym on site, despite what the website claims. The pool has algae against the eastern side, and sigarett butts don't get picked up. The snorkeling was amazing, though, and the staff were very friendly.

Lovely secluded island setting and very pretty. Room was big with traditional decor, although a little tired in places. Staff and ambience was excellent as was the infinity pool area. However a little annoying that smoking was allowed very close to the pool and common areas. Unfortunately weather was poor, and off shore snorkeling opportunities were limited. Guided snorkel trips were good considering the weather and saw rays and sharks briefly. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

A very quiet resort, by 11 pm bar closes and the villas are all quiet. Room is clean and in good condition, and the pool has a great ocean view. Music group are awesome Alfred especially with the table serenades. Only downside for me was the lack of cold icy water available.

A Disappointing Experience where service is a sad
This hotel cuts too many corners wherever possible. -The restaurant service here is exceptionally slow. It's not just slow; it's practically non-existent. -The quality of food falls short of what one would expect from a 4-star hotel. I strongly advise against ordering any beef or steak; it's far from good quality. In fact, the food overall is below standard. Take a look at the photo of the burger for reference. - The staff appears dispirited and inattentive. - While the rooms aren't dirty, numerous details don't meet the expected 4-star quality. - The wine glasses you get are the smallest one I’ve ever seen. - Room service consistently fails to restock shampoo and bathroom towels. - If you need anything attended to, you have to approach the staff multiple times before any action is taken. - It's worth noting that there's a 4% surcharge for credit card payments. - Also, the hotel failed to reply to multiple emails before my arrival. Anecdote: When I approached the bar and made eye contact with the bartender, I offered a friendly smile and a warm greeting. To my surprise, I received only an apathetic stare in return. The bartender didn't respond with even a simple "hi" back. Instead, he turned away to prepare my drink.

Overall we enjoyed our 6 night stay at Matamanoa, but there are some drawbacks. Staff are generally friendly, but the restaurant team is really odd and service quality is hit-and-miss. Some of the restaurant staff don’t smile at all and are inattentive and slow, very few are excellent. Pricing for everything is quite high, even if you take the island location into account. Meals are generally small servings with little variety. Breakfast however is very good with several standing options and adequate portion sizes. Highlight was the team at Deep Blue Diving who are super friendly and fun. The accommodation (we had a pool Bure) was beautiful and clean, the bathroom however was a little dated and water supply was inconsistent.

Our stay at Matamanoa was magical! The beachfront pool villa we stayed in was a sanctuary of peace & relaxation. With uninterrupted sunrise & surrounding ocean views, we spent a lot of our time in the plunge pool & relaxing on the cabana. We had read reviews that the food was limited - we couldn’t disagree more! The included breakfast was like dining in your favourite cafe, lunch menu was extensive and the dinner menu changed almost daily with delicious food. The staff were some of the most friendly & welcoming people you have ever met! The island offers lots of activities - due to a foot injury we didn’t participate as much as we would have liked but plan to return in the near future to make the most of it! With live music every night, a stunning spa in the island tree tops, water activities and cultural events & activities - there is something for everyone. Did we mention the Pina Coladas?! Thank you Matamanoa, we will be back!

Matamanoa is the definition of an island paradise! Beautiful rooms that strikes an amazing balance between privacy/seclusion and friendly interactions. The snorkeling right off the beach is incredible, and very short boat rides to dive sites making scuba very, very easy. Finally amazing staff sealed the deal of a great holiday

The staff at Matamanoa are so friendly and accommodating. From the welcome song to the see you next time, you felt like you were very welcome and appreciated. The breakfast was great (included an a’la carte menu) and you started each morning with fresh fruit and warm pastries delivered to your table. We found no need for a meal plan as most days we didn’t need lunch and having full course meals (lunch and dinner) twice a day would have been too much food. We got married in front of our villa and it was quiet and private. For those getting married on this island I recommend to check the tide schedule first if you want to get married on the beach. We planned a sunset beach wedding and had to pivot the day before due to the high tide. You are on an island and have picked a time you are kinda stuck with it due to logistics of people travelling to you. (Minister, photographer etc). A big shout out to Kelera for helping us say I Do! We appreciate your assistance and friendly manner. We recommend the beachfront bures or villas if you can afford it, the garden units appeared to be small and a bit dark. The beachfront bures are big, surrounded by tropical plants for privacy. We spent a lot of time using our bure yard for sunning, reading and relaxing. We would love to return to your island anytime and highly recommend a visit to anyone.
