For those looking for a quiet intimate experience, Matamanoa is excellent. Mostly couples both young and older. There a a few activities offered but mainly, this is a place to relax and enjoy your surroundings. Accommodation and food are great. Staff is freat.

We found an absolute gem at Matamanoa Island. Beautiful rooms and views. We stayed in a beachfront bure which was awesome. Very private but still just a short walk to the main restaurant. The food was fairly typical of a remote island resort but there was enough variety for a week stay. The Ika Kokoda is a must to try. Absolutely delicious, totoka. The best thing about Matamanoa are the staff. They are all always so happy and friendly. There are so many to mention but we made great new friends with Nanise (restaurant), Lucas & Khatri (fire dancers and very funny guys), Naomi and Jerry behind the bar (both make great Negronis) and Alfred and Rami (guitar serenaders that entertained us every night, sometimes quite late). There were so many more though, I should have made more notes of their names. They were always quite amused by my attempts to speak Fijian (tolutolu) but I'll be better next time. We also made a couple of trips over to their village at Tavua. We went to church their and felt so welcome. The village visit a couple of days later was lovely too. The people of Fiji are amazing. We can't wait to return, hopefully soon. Vinaka vakalevu, moce.

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.
