Hôtel Fenua Mata'i'oa

“Thanks for the stay”

We loved the hotel. I think we were the only ones there with we really liked. Room was gorgeous and perfectly decorated.

“Highly recommended stay”

This stay was truly amazing, the only thing I regret is that we were only there one night. The atmosphere cannot be captured in photos, but think boutique white lotus. We stayed in the princess Keona suite, which was impeccably furnished. I loved the attention to detail and the way the decor blen… more

This stay was truly amazing, the only thing I regret is that we were only there one night. The atmosphere cannot be captured in photos, but think boutique white lotus. We stayed in the princess Keona suite, which was impeccably furnished. I loved the attention to detail and the way the decor blended plants and the outdoors inside. We did not experience the mosquitoes, but my husband woke up early and opened the windows, and a friendly cat crawled in and curled up at my feet. The breakfast service was lovely, delivered right to our room. Afterwards, we enjoyed some snorkeling off the dock.

“Charming and Romantic but furniture is showing its age”

Extremely charming and romantic hotel with tons of character. Lush garden throughout the property. Huge indoor and outdoor lounging areas. Outdoor deck is built right up to the ocean and is a wonderful place to sit and watch the ocean life beneath your feet. Rooms have nearly a full kitchen (no stove). Pleasant staff. We stayed in the "Romantic Deluxe Suite." Room was nice but we were plagued by mosquitos, despite having all the doors closed (the room in not sealed to the exterior and thus the mosquitos could enter). The stuffed furniture is showing its age with stains and buttons falling off (and poorly taped back on). Linens and towels are very nice. Lots of hot water. Modern bathroom. Stayed here before in the "Deluxe Lagoon Suite" and absolutely loved it (no mosquitos) and found it worth the price. Note the "Junior Suites" are located in the garden area; have few windows and thus somewhat dark and no ocean view.

“Quaint”

The hotel is old style vs a contemporary resort, meaning traditional thatched roof and walls. It also abounds with original art and statues.

The hotel is old style vs a contemporary resort, meaning traditional thatched roof and walls. It also abounds with original art and statues. The downside for us was the hotel is rather isolated so you need a taxi or rental car to get anywhere. There is one restaurant that is walking distance but that’s it. The hotel offers very limited choices for breakfast (nothing is included in your room, not even a morning cup of coffee). They do not offer lunch or dinner. We only saw one other couple at the hotel, for a few minutes, the entire 6 days we were there. Maybe if you are a loner this would be a plus. Lastly, we did not appreciate dealing with the owner. Within hours of completing our booking we realized our flight arrived after the last ferry so we needed to alter our stay by one day. She would absolutely not honor our request so we had to pay the extra night.
