Comfort, activities and extraordinarily kind service made our stay a delight. We were disappointed to see no sign of renewable energies, or sustainable practices. The natural environment - bird and marine life - are key drawcards and appear to be unsupported by management strategies.

Loved our Bure or Villa. It was amazing. However, value for money I would say stay away from this resort. At 1000 FJD per night, it's not worth it. And it all comes down to service level of the staff. Some staff were very nice but there is glaring issues. Housekeeping forgets or doesn't clean the room til almost 5pm, no towels for the room at times, introduction to the resort is missing out on what's available like where is the spa, there is a vegetarian menu, etc that we only found out about on the last night. I know Fijian customer service is not as good as Asian but the staff is quick to say no with no alternative or explanation.

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.
