"Matamanoa: Awesome Adult Resort in the Mamanucas"
Very good adults only resort in the Mamanuca islands region of Fiji. We spent 10 glrorious days on the island. Our bure with a plunge pool, overlooked the beach and was quite spacious and comfortable. The island itself is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and palm trees with coconuts. The meals are great and the cocktails superb. The water was pristine and teeming with sealife, great for snorkelling just off the beach. The water temperature was perfect as there is no real winter in Fiji. Best of all was the staff. It was our second visit to Matamanoa and it was great to be back and to see Kelera again and she gave my wife and me a very warm welcome, like old friends catching up. You can choose to do as much or as little as you choose. We had a very relaxing holiday. Thank you to all the staff who made it a memorable holiday for us, again. Thanks Kelera, Salome, Melea, Lukas, Miti, Inoke, Viri, Naomi, Pui, Sadrina, Nanise, Gabriel, One and all the others whose names I cannot remember. Highly recommend Matamanoa. One of the best adults resorts in the Fiji islands.

"Amazing, Conevniently close to Nadi, absolute luxury and friendliness"
Thanks Patrick and your team for making this island so difficult to leave! Your multi skilled staff made a most memorable stay from dining to snorkelling, with buggy-taxi service (Thanks Jerry) to and from bures to dining and massage much appreciated. Such a convenient comfortable Bure with our own pool only short distance from the best snorkelling seen for ages (we have high expectations). Well done Nancy for keeping us in order and making our stay unforgettable. Big thanks also to Salome, Jonathan, Miti and those we have not mentioned personally. A wonderful island (nice and close to Nadi) which we hope to return to. Venaka /Thank you all. Alison, Geraldine and Anthony

"Heaven on Earth!"
Absolutely wonderful resort! We had the private pool villa and it was exactly what we needed for a relaxing week! The staff is incredible, with nightly serenades and friendly smiles! The snorkeling is awesome, though it is tide dependent. The resort has everything you need, from excursions to scuba diving right on the island ! I highly recommend visiting this adult only resort. Its a great place to relax and recharge!

"Incredible Honeymoon Destination"
My husband and I honeymooned here in July of this year and what a resort! We had just spent five nights with all of our friends and family so wanted something that felt more private (and most importantly adults only) and my only complaint is that the three nights we spent on the island wasn’t long enough.
What an experience to arrive at such a beautiful island, to hop off the tender and wade in while a welcome song was sung from the beach. What’s so beautiful about Matamanoa is that it’s so curated, there are always enough sunbeds, you don’t have to book for dinner, there is just enough to cater for the island being fully booked and yet it never feels crowded. We had the most incredible few days. Snorkelling here was like swimming in an aquarium, and the team at the activities centre were very helpful. I loved that we could sign out equipment for the during of our stay.
A highlight for me is that I had never drunk from a coconut before, and one afternoon there was a polite knock on our cabin door from one of the porters, offering a freshly cut one for us to try. They also do the sweetest touches with hand-carved signs for each bure door with the names of the occupants. We brought ours home as a souvenir from our honeymoon.
The food was lovely, the staff were everything you’d expect from a luxury Fiji resort, and I cannot wait to visit again! Thank you Nina and the whole team!

"Our new home in paradise"
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.

"Tropical getaway!"
We loved our 8 nights on Matamanoa Island. It truly is a tropical paradise, quiet and relaxing.
I feel I cannot give praise to just some staff members as everyone was so obliging, friendly and lovely. Of course, there are some you get to know more than others but we loved our daily chats with different staff there and also the manager who seemed very hands on, which is great. We often saw him walking about and he was always very friendly and interesting to talk to.
We enjoyed the meals there and were very glad there was no breakfast buffet! Not keen on buffet meals! I mainly ate fish which I looked forward to.
The breakfast menu was very good and really there was something for everyone…even if you just wanted toast (as I did one morning) although not on the menu the staff happily obliged.
I didnt think I would want soup in the heat but the soups there were so tasty and delicious, after trying it, we had soup every night!
The snorkelling was great, you just have to time it right with the tides. The water so clear and beautiful had lots of different fish darting about.
We had a beachfront bure which was delightful! To access the beautiful beach there are several shared steps between a few bures which are easily accessed down to the sand.
Each night we enjoyed the music of the boys in the band which really make a tropical island stay.
Thank you each and everyone, Matamanoa is certainly a world away from the daily hustle and bustle we have here!
