Beautiful place, bad value
Positives: incredible coral right off the beach, beautiful pool area, lovely water, calm and quiet, great fire show (only held once during our four night stay) Negatives: bad value at $400/night for a very basic room, few free activities (most don’t happen - when asked why, the staff just shrug their shoulders), paid activities are good but overpriced, water is awful - hence tea, coffee etc is also not great, stingy on quality of bread and juice for breakfast, diner is overpriced. Overall: go if you love coral, beautiful water, and a nice pool. Don’t go if you want good food and water, or good value for money. Either way, bring your own water.

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.

You Won’t be Disappointed
We had the most incredible time at this resort. It will forever be a bench mark that we will compare to going forward. The staff were professional and friendly. The service the best I’ve had in Fiji and the only down side one the whole trip - was leaving to come home. We’re already planning to return next October.

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! ♥️🤿🌴
