The food. We had issued with the housekeeping and the pool in our Bure.
We advised Management but a good solution wasn't worthcoming
3.0 / 5.0
Stunning location and the Reef Bure is a stunning little romantic getaway. Highlight for us was the treetop massage, listening to the ocean and enjoying the cool breeze being up high.
The included breakfast is simple, but generous, with a lovely little local fruit plate and pastry or cake which is a nice touch to start the day.
Restaurant location is beautiful, with plenty of space to get an outdoor table and look out over the ocean as you eat.
Inclusions are reasonable with kayaks and snorkel and fins. We also loved the golf buggy transport option up to the room (and on call throughout the stay, although we didn’t use it as the walk was enjoyable).
The Reef Bure is marketed as having a private pool. It is technically private as it belongs to your Bure, but there is a public pathway between your pool and the beach that gets used quite often, so it is a much less private experience.
Food and drinks are also very average. It feels like the staff are very basically trained (they do their best) particularly in cocktail making. The food is also very basic and one meal out of a 4 night stay they managed to actually serve a dairy free meal when it was requested and noted that it was available. Only one or two of the staff actually seemed happy, perhaps they work them too hard?
Hired snorkels need updating, both of ours were unusable.
4.5 / 5.0
Unbelievable place! The villa was incredible, so comfortable with amazing amenities. The whole island is so beautiful and well maintained. The staff are lovely and friendly. So welcoming and so very relaxing. Such an easy and pleasant experience. Would highly recommend!
The only area that could be improved is the food. Some dishes were lovely while others were a little below standard. If the food was slightly better it would be an overall 5 star experience.
4.0 / 5.0
Resort molto raccolto con poche stanze, isola con barriera molto vicino alla spiaggia, stanze spaziose. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo
Arredi delle stanze un po’ datati. Non ci sono lettini in spiaggia, solo nella zona piscina.
4.0 / 5.0
Gorgeous location fantastic snorkelling and diving great staff our ocean front Bure was excellent
The staff work really hard and always have a smile on their faces.
The watersports activities were run very well.
Organisation could be improved ie no laundry bag or list in room, no beach towels in room this had to be chased. Laundry was delayed as they lost the room information.
More explanation regarding snorkelling and swimming it was hard to get the information in the end worked out for self, A map of island, with recommended entry and exit points would be great
The food was very disappointing for what is regarded as a luxury resort and expensive with poor presentation, variety and minimal fruit and vegetables. They ran out of basics which is unfathomable Nadi is only 1 hour away.
I would stay again but would like to see the food improve
4.5 / 5.0
Amazing views and great staff! The beach and reef are spectacular. Rooms are spacious and private. The island is beautiful and the water is perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
Food options are limited, especially if you have dietary requirements (we are both vegan). There is no path around the island, so if you like to go for walks you are out of luck.

More activities, food was quite expensive even compared to New Zealand it was expensive

Fantastic location with very good snorkeling off the beach. Very good facilities maintained well. Staff are very friendly.
Food/meal pricing did not make sense.

the beach was exceptional. Went for a fishing trip and had so much fun with the boys.
5.0 / 5.0
The staff were extremely friendly. The pool has an incredible view and is nice and quiet, perfect for those looking to relax. The water-sports were excellent, with snorkling available 5 meters off the beach.

The place was beautiful, great facilities
*The food wasn't amazing as I expected for a place of this level
*Very secluded and expensive to reach if island hopping, from port denerau it's easy
4.5 / 5.0
Location was great, you could snorkel straight off the beach. There were plenty of different activities to do both on and off the island. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was good.
Restaurant food sometimes didn't exactly match the menu which could be an issue with allergies. Although the food is always cooked well the dinner menu can be quite expensive so would recommend budgeting quite a bit for food as its the only restaurant on the island.
4.5 / 5.0
Beautiful Island resort- the location is just stunning. The Burea's (cottages) with private pools were just amazing, great ocean view and the pool was bigger than we expected. The snorkeling safari trip was also amazing!
Really simple things can elevate this stunning resort to 5 stars (its currently has 4 stars)- better food options, land line in the room to call reception/ room service/ house keeping, and better towel services as there aren't beach towels around the pool/beach only in your room and they aren't changed daily. Small things like that would make it 5 stars without a doubt, as it already feels super luxurious.
4.5 / 5.0
Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, loved the way the staff embraced us as patrons. The room was exactly what we wanted. Despite the weather being challenging, we still felt so rested and relaxed thanks to the serenity of the island and fanstastic crew. Spa on-site was also great and the ladies there were so nice.

Stunning location, friendly staff who went out of their way to make our holiday special and amazing. Lots of activities, incredibly relaxing, delicious food options.
Transfers were more problematic to arrange than anticipated (didn’t realise one ferry per day, if other plans conflict with ferry times can arrange speedboat transfers but are $$$).
4.5 / 5.0
it was beautiful and we enjoyed all aspects of the holiday including the staff.
Food service was a bit erratic and on first night we waited over an hour and half for food. on a couple of occasions food arrived cold.

4.5 / 5.0
The location was fantastic. One of the keys things about the resort was no kids too. Also, being only 4 hours flight time from Australia. The resort was completely self paced with activities to do only if you wanted. The staff were wonderful. So genuinely friendly and go out of their way to help. Doing things in "Fiji time" is something you need to remember as it is relaxed and go with the flow type thing.
The beds for us were too hard, but thats all :) One thing 'tho....remember for this resort it is a "wet" landing so wear thongs or sandals to get on the island as only this is mentioned in one abstract forum.
5.0 / 5.0
Matamanoa was the best holiday I have ever been on. The people were incredibly lovely and made it very special. In particular Wavi, Kelera, Naomi and Bai. The dinner was a different menu each night and the food was incredibly delicious. The snorkeling safari is a must. We are already planning another trip to come back.
There was nothing we didn’t like about our stay.
4.0 / 5.0
the beach, the pool and the island grounds were all BEAUTIFUL. such a great place to get away for a few nights and just truly relax. the band that plays in the restaurant is also great and adds a nice little atmosphere to the evenings. we also did some snorkeling there which was really incredible, lots of coral and bright fish.
had the food been decent I would gladly give this place a 10 but there’s some work to be done in that area unfortunately.
as many reviews mention, the food is disappointing- I would say it’s a 6 at best. completely understand that it’s an island and resources may be limited - but to charge the prices they’re charging for the food they’re serving is a bit shocking. the free breakfast makes up for it in some ways, but they still charge you $10+ for coffee.
0.5 / 5.0
Not much, except the music band at night
Where do I even start… I made a detour to visit this resort (given its good review). Big mistake… Upon my arrival, without any prior warnings, they gave me a so-called upgrade to a 2-bedroom villa. It was a lie. The villa was the resort owner’s home and they just dumped us there because they ran out of rooms. Had we looked middle-aged or older, they probably wouldn’t have treated us like this. One of the bathrooms was not even cleaned properly. The shampoo, conditioner and body gel bottles were all opened and 2/3 empty. Deodorant, toothpaste and mouth wash from the owner (or previous occupiers) were scattered all over the place. The other bathroom was a bit better but the toiletry looked half used. One of the bedrooms had gym equipments scattered all over the place. The room was like a 10-15 minute walk to reception and didn’t even have a phone for us to contact reception in case of emergency (They gave us the front desk email address and the response was usually 40 minute delayed at best…). The whole thing was just pathetic. We had booked a beach front villa 8 months ago and we paid quite a significant sum for it. It wasn’t like we booked it the day before we arrived. The receptionist lady who greeted me on the day was just exhausting to deal with. She was not transparent about the whole thing. She acted as if I had indeed booked the owner’s villa. She even said “let us know tomorrow if you would like to move to the beach front villa” (seriously?!?… I had booked the beach front villa… of course I would like to move there). The resort manager was just unapologetic. They should have informed us of the overbooking before we arrived, not on the day we arrived. The next day, we had to wait around until 1:15pm to finally move into our beach front villa. We only stayed in the beach front villa 2/3 of the time but still had to pay the full amount for it.
The restaurant service was appallingly slow, which I don’t really mind as they are on “Fiji time” here.
4.0 / 5.0
Staff are lovely - friendly, helpful and really do want you to have a good holiday. The enthusiasm with which they greet one, and the welcome/departure songs are lovely – I find it amazing that they can muster such genuine cheer in welcoming guests every day.
The dive centre is top notch. Diving in some pacific locations is sometimes a bit scary (safety an afterthought) – not this lot. They are super professional, and very safety conscious. One feels so comfortable diving with them. I would come back to Matamanoa for the diving alone. Josh the DM is a great guy, focused on planning dive around what the guest is interested in seeing but (rightly so!) safety first. Generally though, all the dive staff (bar maybe the slightly sullen Aussie lady) are superb. I would not be surprised if this was the best dive centre in Fiji.
The bungalows are wonderful - its as good as the photos. Snorkelling is great, albeit not possible at low tide (too shallow). The resort runs regular snorkelling outings & trips.
Food was quite variable - some dishes were excellent and others not good (eg one night had a really good steak and a few evening later was like eating a shoe). Having travelled through a number of Pacific islands we understand that this variability in quality is sometimes a consequence of being on an island in the middle of nowhere. What the restaurant could fix though is the quality of its baked goods - breakfast baked goods (pastries & rolls) were consistently not good.
Flies in the restaurant – management seriously needs to do something about the amount of flies in the restaurant (a simple electric insect catcher would sort things out). Unless there is a breeze, you’re constantly battling with flies sitting on your food – about 3 to 4 flies constantly around one.
Service in the restaurant – the staff are really lovely, but just need to be organised better. Eg sometimes our breakfast coffee would come once we had finished eating and were ready to leave, other times it would come soon after you sat down. It feels like there is no set way that the restaurant staff work, feels a bit free flow and muddled.
5.0 / 5.0
The room I was in was exactly what I asked for and was close to the Reception/Beautique and the lounge and restaurant. loved the private pool.
Just not enough towels and tea towel and bath mat needed replacing after 7 nights it needed it. Also shower floor is very slippery and needs something like a rubber mat or something even a handle bar to prevent a fall. perfect island otherwise ❤️ can’t wait to visit again.
2.5 / 5.0
The location was stunning and the accommodation was beautiful
The majority of staff were not very friendly, apart from a few. The food was poor, especially breakfast and lunch. the evening food is slightly better! The service was also really slow in restaurant and lots of flies everywhere.

great food, venue so relaxing , planning to return next year.
Spa facility blissful, staff so friendly.
Being charged for coffee at breakfast - when breakfast is included in stay the assumption would be that coffee would be part of that breakfast deal. No one informed that coffee was extra

Excellent food and service and staff are exceptional. Loved every minute of our stay and will be back.
Could have been more food choices
2.0 / 5.0
rooms were expensive for what they were.
food from the restaurant wasn’t fresh at all, my husband got food poisoning and the following day I ate some pineapple at breakfast that was definitely off. lunch was nice but breakfast and dinner options need to be looked at. small island and not a whole lot to do, although this isn’t the accommodations fault! nice island, wouldn’t recommend longer than 3 days.
