Relaxing tropical island paradise
Pros:

Not too far by ferry/water taxi, and has its own coral reef to snorkel from beach, or you can pay for boats for snorkeling or diving. Nice pool, restaurant, bar, staff, & ambiance.

We will be back!
Pros:

Great week exceptionally friendly staff one of the top places we have stayed in Fiji! The food is exceptional I read they got a new chef from the British consulate in Bahrain and the food was top notch, but well priced. Lots of entertainment great atmosphere just the downtime we needed. The room and the view was perfection!

Cons:

No phone in the room to order room service but not a big deal.

Matamanoa is an incredible island, with beautiful people, music, food, drinks and amenities.
Pros:

The Island is incredible. The water is crystal clear and the reef and fish are amazing. The resort amenities (pool, furniture and lounges, bar, tennis court, restaurant) are exceptional. The food was amazing. The staff were so friendly, happy, easy to talk to and very accommodating.

Cons:

Unfortunately their massage space was being repaired, so we were put in an alternative room that didn't feel luxurious. They have a daily activities board in their foyer, but most of these activities were not run unless you specifically asked staff about them.

Great trip away. Exactly what was needed to recharge the battery. Nice and relaxing.
Pros:

Not over priced and comfortable. Great to disconnect from all the stresses of life. The location forces you to relax.

Cons:

Not much to dislike. Simple but comfortable. We were told there would be improvements and renovations around the property next year.

Pros:

Skvělý malý resort na malém ostrově. Užili jsme si zde svatební cestu. Ubytování bylo velké, čisté s vlastním bazénem a výhledem na moře. Skvělé míst na šnorchlování. Snídaně (v ceně) byly formou a la carte a dobré. Večerní menu drahé, ale vařili dobře. Hotel nabízí různé aktivity (potápění, výlety na moře atd).

Pros:

Peaceful, calming, relaxing, reminds me of Gillian’s Island! The rich colors of the ocean / reefs. The shows that they put on! The food!!! The staff with their smiles and laughter. They’re talented multi positions at the resort!
The young men’s vocals…absolutely amazing.
Hats off to the three that sang every night at the restaurant.
The bartenders that remembered our name!
My Birthday Sister Adi Mere!
We share the same day in January!

Cons:

Always a lovely place to visit and enjoy sun, clear warm water
Pros:

As always the staff are the outstanding feature of this place and contribute to the unique nature of the resort. The quality of the food for an island location was really good and more consistent than previous visits

Cons:

The facility looked tired and in need of some attention. Our top end bure had no hot water for the first 24 hours. The shower rose mounting was broken and hanging out of the wall. The main swimming pool (always a feature) was a a pale green colour the entire week, not the pristine infinity pool of previous trips!
