"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

"RELAX IN FIJI ISLAND PARADISE"
Matamanoa, an adult resort, what a great experience which we absolutely recommend.
We reached the island on the Purple Turtle, a 75-minute speed boat ride, as the helipad was non operational and the catamaran which stops out from the resort takes much longer.
Upon reaching the island; the boat was tied between a buoy and the shore, with the stern on the sandy beach. Described as a ‘wet landing’, it was one foot in the water or straight onto the sand. We were welcomed with a shell lei.
While our luggage was taken to our bure, we were escorted to the reception area where an explanation about the resort was given. We next went to breakfast and waited until our bure was ready.
We had number 27 right next to reception. It was perfect for us with its own plunge pool.
The reception/boutique was excellent with clothing medicines, snacks, soft drinks, some tins and bottles of alcohol, ice creams, souvenirs and much more.
Wi-Fi was free for 1 device per bure and free for all guests in the reception area. Additional wi-fi in the room was available at a cost. This meant I would sometimes be in our bure and my wife in the reception area.
We elected not to have the meal package. Breakfast was included and we had a snack for lunch and dined in the evening.
Dinner was 3 courses with a choice of fish, pork, chicken and beef. Being older we just had mains.
The breakfast consisted of tea or coffee, croissants and muffins, 3 pieces of fruit, juice and a choice of muesli, pancakes, French toast, eggs bene, omelette or big breakfast. We never left the table wanting more.
We sat around the pool, swam in the pool and the sea, snorkelled and just lazed around. We watched guests doing an introductory scuba dive or scuba training towards a full ‘Padi’ certificate.
There is a boat trip to the island where Tom Hanks filmed ‘Castaway’, as distinct from Castaway Island resort.
You could go handline fishing or basket weaving.
The staff were great, friendly and very obliging. Patrick, the Manager, on being informed one of the sunbed shades was broken, had a new one fitted next day. That we considered proactive. We were told the outside pool furniture was replaced every 5-6 years. Other staff of note were Salome and Nancy who were always welcoming and engaged in conversation readily.
Overall, I would recommend Matamanoa as a great place to stay.

"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.

"Matamanoa - the resort that adopts you"
I think, as the island is an hour from the mainland, there is more of a community/family feeling with the staff, more so than any of our mainland visits. We really bonded with the sweet folks that work (so hard) on that Island resort. That was the main highlight for us.
The beaches are like talcum powder, the sea life is so full of colour, the cocktails are REAL! The rooms are comfortable. We loved being serenaded at our dinner tables, greeted by name every morning, little touches like these made it for us.
Only thing I would say there is room for improvement is – the food was adequate, but not fantastic.
I would definitely go there again and recommend it to anyone.

"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.
