What guests think
Hôtel Fenua Mata'i'oa is a small, artsy boutique stay with lush, jungle-like gardens and direct lagoon access where many guests watch fish, rays and even sharks from private decks, creating a peaceful, highly memorable, non-resort experience.
Reviews praise uniquely decorated, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and attentive staff who arrange tours, deliver tasty in-room breakfasts, and offer thoughtful touches like leis and welcome drinks. Common drawbacks include mosquitoes and humidity from the lush setting, no on-site restaurant (some gear like kayaks may carry fees), occasional construction or noise, limited English at times, and open-plan bathrooms that reduce privacy. Expect a tranquil, character-filled waterfront retreat best for relaxation and lagoon activities rather than full-service resort amenities.

Truly ocean front vacation! Step right off into the beautiful lagoon for family friendly swimming and snorkeling with tropical fishes! Pick up and drop off service to the nearby steakhouse is really convenient. Staff is very accommodating and helpful.

This place is quite special. The best way to describe it is a boutique resort. It's not a resort at all with a max of maybe 8 or so rooms. The property is curated with a mix of fruit plants and flowering plants. It feels as if you have entered a majestic jungle. As you walk around the property it's a lovely space. Quiet and serene. Right on the water. They also provide snorkel, kayak, and paddle board equipment. They have a bar where they can make limited drinks. All the staff are super lovely. The breakfast is amazeballs. Highly highly recommend. We had such a great experience we extended our stay.

This is a dream of a place especially if you prefer authenticity to manicured lawns. The rooms are partly an outdoors logia and also a bedroom with a/c. The whole is reached along paths through tropical forest and boardwalks by the sea link the common areas, with brightly coloured fish swimming right up to these. We were welcomed with lei and tropical cocktail. There is no restaurant but the hotel will order in for you from a selection of local restaurants.

Amazing property like a manicured jungle. Our room had a terrace on the water that had many beautiful fish just inches away including stingrays and sharks. Stunning views!

We stayed at the Princess Lokelani room. It was steps from the water. We saw a manta ray there and lots of fish. (Note that there is no actual beach as the whole island is enclosed by a coral reef). The hotel is very unique and has a stellar breakfast that they bring to your room. We loved the common area, it's very distinctive and comfortable. We borrowed canoes and found the manta and shark area ~10 mins away. There are boats and tours that travel from all over the island just to go there. The hotel is close to solid restaurants and has parking. Main drawback is mosquitos given the room is surround by greenery - come prepared.

The perfect place if you're looking for peace and quiet, the sunbeds overlooking the ocean are unmatched. There's a local shop which has lots to offer for breakfast/lunch options and/or light teas. There's a couple of restaurants within a 10 minutes walk. Otherwise, a 30 minutes walk into town is needed, there's no pavement or streetlights but if you have a torch it will be fine (we did this numerous times and felt safe).

A well positioned boutique property. The rooms are all unique - good quality but quite “rustic”. The resort is right next to the water but also within quite a thick jungle area, so can get very humid with lots of mosquitoes. The stand out room by quite some way is the one right on the water. It may be worth paying the extra money, although note that it is partly open plan with no walls or AC throughout - it also leaked a bit in the rain. They charge you for the kayaks, which we thought was unnecessary given what they charge for the rooms. Note there is no restaurant so if you don’t have a car it is problematic getting to restaurants for lunch or dinner. They should have a happy hour to promote use of their bar but they don’t seem to care much about utilisation of that aspect of their business.

The property is stunning. The foliage and decor is unlike any place I’ve ever stayed. Each room is meticulously decorated with a private entrance. Very quiet and relaxing. Kayaks available to take advantage of calm waters with stingrays and eagle rays. Location was wonderful as you can kayak to coco beach which is must do. Our welcome drink was serious and beautiful. Wish we could’ve stayed longer

Photos do not do it justice! It has very spacious & multiple lounge areas both indoor & outdoors. The dock allows for people to go into ocean with many various species of fish, sting rays, etc. Also the dock allowed the boat tour to bring us directly back to the hotel. The furniture & art is unique, hand selected and creative. I can not express how incredible the ambiance was. The room was a junior suite with patio bar, table , microwave and 2 fridges. Bathroom was spacious with lovely shower heads. King bed was incredibly comfortable , something that I find not always the case. The service was excellent & friendly. They were helpful to book tours and taxis for us. We stayed 4 nights and wish we stayed longer. Will definitely come again!

My daughter & I spent 4 delightful nights here after a cruise. The staff was wonderful & helpful. We were greeted with a lei & delicious welcome drink.The property was amazing & one of the most beautiful locations I have ever experienced. We had an amazing suite with our private dock. It was so unique & even came with a couple of cats that we loved! We sat outside in the evenings & watched all different kinds of fish swim by. Was very cool. I would love to return some day although it is half way around the world!

We stayed at hotel Fenua for 3 nights in the romance suite during our 18 night honeymoon. Of the 7 lodgings we stayed at - this was by far the most unique place. Staff was very friendly & assisted with delivering early morning breakfast that we ordered the night prior. It has direct access to the water (but it is not very clear compared to some other parts of the lagoons). We were able to rent a kayak while here and also had one of our best spa sessions while on our trip. Fenua is one of a kind as it only offers 5 very unique and homey rooms. We spent a decent amount of time in the lounge area which felt like something out of a book. The common area & rooms have an abundance of plants that are well maintained and give the ambience of staying in a coastal jungle. The AC worked surprisingly well despite other reviews we had seen. The breakfast we ordered was incredible - especially the homemade jams included with the pastry boards. There are only a couple of potential downsides depending on your preferences. 1.) There will be geckos in your room - they are small and harmless, but you’ll want to keep your bags zipped. 2.) Sometimes you’ll hear easily through the walls (staff working outside on maintenance / birds nestling on the roof) etc. 3.) As mentioned before there is only 5 rooms offered here, so you will not run into many guests. We viewed this as an overall positive since we had privacy & a unique experience while also having the benefits of an active staff on site

Walking into this hidden property is like walking into a dream. Every corner you turn is more beautiful than the last. We stayed in the over water suite with a gorgeous view of the lagoon and loved feeding the fish right off the deck. Very friendly cats visit daily to the open air sunroom. The sleeping area and can be completely closed off and does have air conditioning. The sunroom/kitchen bar is open air so it does not. Bathroom can be closed off but no ac in there either which wasn't an issue for us. Pack bug spray! The only complaint we had is that the bathroom has a pretty clear view to the other suite's sitting area. Made eye contact with neighbors a view times in the bathroom which was extremely awkward. There are a few bamboo shoots to kind of block the view but it's still a floor to ceiling window with no curtain to the shower or toilet. Other than that, it was an amazing room to stay for our honeymoon. Our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels, we received flower necklaces and welcome cocktails when we arrived, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Absolutely a hidden gem.

It ia paradise within paradise! Walking through all the beautiful plants to get to your room is like walking through a beautiful botanical garden. The only thing that is better is the view from the deck! There are so many fish around the deck and at night the sharks come around. And you can walk out into water. The bed was really comfortable. The shower had good pressure. It was really nice to have a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and real plates and glasses. Everyone was very helpful and always smiled. The grounds are perfectly kept and everything was clean. The whole place is exactly like the pictures. If you are going to Mo'orea, this is where you want to stay.

Absolutely stunning. It is rare to find a place that is better than the pictures, but this is! Friendly, helpful staff throughout our stay. The grounds and view of the ocean are beyond words. Breakfast brought to your room including fresh tropical fruit selection is a perfect way to start the day. The steady rhythm of the waves on the edge of the barrier reef lulls you to sleep. Several species of fish congregate right next to the dock in crystal clear water.

Magnifique endroit !!! Au calme, à l’abris des regards et surtout une architecture en phase avec Moorea. On retrouve la patte de patronne Ahiline (un vrai personnage, pleine de vie et avec un gros coeur). Tout le confort est là, dans les chambres comme à l’extérieur. Le site est très végétalisé ce qui atténue la chaleur naturellement.

If you love a tropical feel this is the place for you. There are plants EVERYWHERE! We loved it! There are so many places to sit and relax and they are all so interesting. This hotel is filled with charm! Every time I went into one of the public spaces I would see something I hadn't seen before. This is way better than an over the water bungalow! You walk only steps to the water and can jump into a beautiful Lagoon. The owner is a lovely French woman who will take care of your every need and want! If she recommends something, do it! She knows the different vendors and restaurants and she is always right on! If you are looking for a slightly different, very personal place in Moorea this is it. We were here for 6 days and they were all fabulous. The staff is wonderful and will not have to lift a finger. Your bags will be taken to your room from your car or taxi and then back again at the end of your stay. Tours will be booked for you, taxies will be called, and you just need to enjoy the beautiful surroundings! The rooms were cleaned to perfection and the oils, lotions and soaps provided were absolutely wonderful! We had the most memorable time at the Fenua Mata'i'oa!

Where to start....this is definitely a boutique hotel with limited rooms and interesting decor. Overall its beautifully decorated, but there was no separation for the bathroom or shower area.

We stayed in the suite on the water and it was gorgeous. We had a little trouble finding the place with Apple Maps so probably best to use google maps. We saw stingrays and sharks right off the deck. And the most beautiful colorful fish! You can rent kayaks and SUPs. The lady who gave us the tour of the property was so nice and helpful. Power went out on the island so we slept with the doors open but I feel like we got lucky with power going out since sleeping with the doors open you can hear the waves and it’s so peaceful. No bugs came in, just 2 of the sweetest cats. Startled me at first but once I realized it was a cat in the bed I was fine :) If you don’t want to stay in the water front suite the other suites looked just as nice and the deck for the hotel is amazing. We got there before check in and we were able to lay out on the deck and swim and snorkel. Such an amazing stay!!

What is unique about this hotel? It is not a party hotel. It is maybe one of the most beautiful and relaxing hotels I have ever stayed at. I am 70 and travel a lot and spend time in beautiful hotels in beautiful areas. The Fenua Mata'i'oa hotel tops my list. We stayed in the Garden Romantic Suite. A large place. There was a nice outside shaded place to have breakfast with kitchen exposed to the ambient environment, complete with a cat if you allowed it. The bedroom was large and very comfortable and air conditioned. I slept 8-9 hrs a night. The bathroom and tub were in a Shangr-La environment. We had our own beach area with several outdoor outdoor areas to sit and enjoy nature. Our room and every inch of the entire communal area have been immaculately and pain-stakenly decorated over 25 years. Everywhere you look you can't help but to be transfixed with the thoughtful cohesive beauty bestowed by the owner-designer. You may think I am getting carried away and over romanticizing the property but my girl friend felt exactly the same way. I was so nice to have a private dock where you can be picked up for an excursion or just to snorkel on your own or just have a drink and watch the spectacular sunsets. If you want a romantic place for inspiration, I can't think of a better place. Also, everything worked in our room and we only wished we had stayed a week instead of a few days.

Hotel is challenging to find with a rental car. Very small signage, looks like you turning down a driveway. Once you pass this challenge, you are in for a nice surprise. You enter the property through a path with tall foilage all-around. The property and room have character and are charming. The pillows are firm.

Walking into this hidden property is like walking into a dream. Every corner you turn is more beautiful than the last. We stayed in the over water suite with a gorgeous view of the lagoon and loved feeding the fish right off the deck. Very friendly cats visit daily to the open air sunroom. The sleeping area and can be completely closed off and does have air conditioning. The sunroom/kitchen bar is open air so it does not. Bathroom can be closed off but no ac in there either which wasn't an issue for us. Pack bug spray! The only complaint we had is that the bathroom has a pretty clear view to the other suite's sitting area. Made eye contact with neighbors a view times in the bathroom which was extremely awkward. There are a few bamboo shoots to kind of block the view but it's still a floor to ceiling window with no curtain to the shower or toilet. Other than that, it was an amazing room to stay for our honeymoon. Our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels, we received flower necklaces and welcome cocktails when we arrived, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Absolutely a hidden gem.

It’s very unique jungle book could have been written here me and the wife had a air b and b and it was terrible so we left it to here for 1 night and one night only arrived at 3 pm and left the next day at 9 am to the Hilton. It was a great spot for 1 night ! The rooms are a bit older and assuming since it’s in the jungle feeling in the trees along the ocean it’s very humid it had a bit of a musty smell but was still perfect for the night breakfast was for 2 meals in the am and 1 letre of coffee trout to took in am was around 5200 xpf food for breakfast was not bad at all Beacon eggs etc The steak place is just up the road you can go eat was great !! The best part of this place is 100% ocean morning view and or ocean view in general almost right across from the picnic island of Moorea , and not far down from coco beach, you can rent a kayaks or paddle boards and head down to both islands from here The water was very clean you can see everything too to bottom in the area tons of fish we had a good time for the night it’s a great place to transfer Nice people clean room for the most part but a bit musty we had the lowest end room they had for the night left. Princess somthing Sorry for the bad pictures

The hotel was extremely nicely decorated!!!! The views were great. However, there is no beach. It is located next to a lagoon, but you cannot really swim there and there is no snorkel to do. We had a car, so it was easy to go to other beaches. The owner is very nice. It is super amazing how she arranged the rooms. For example, we have a garden in our bathroom you just have to go and see it.

It ia paradise within paradise! Walking through all the beautiful plants to get to your room is like walking through a beautiful botanical garden. The only thing that is better is the view from the deck! There are so many fish around the deck and at night the sharks come around. And you can walk out into water. The bed was really comfortable. The shower had good pressure. It was really nice to have a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and real plates and glasses. Everyone was very helpful and always smiled. The grounds are perfectly kept and everything was clean. The whole place is exactly like the pictures. If you are going to Mo'orea, this is where you want to stay.

We stayed at the Princess Lokelani room. It was steps from the water. We saw a manta ray there and lots of fish. (Note that there is no actual beach as the whole island is enclosed by a coral reef). The hotel is very unique and has a stellar breakfast that they bring to your room. We loved the common area, it's very distinctive and comfortable. We borrowed canoes and found the manta and shark area ~10 mins away. There are boats and tours that travel from all over the island just to go there. The hotel is close to solid restaurants and has parking. Main drawback is mosquitos given the room is surround by greenery - come prepared.

Photos do not do it justice! It has very spacious & multiple lounge areas both indoor & outdoors. The dock allows for people to go into ocean with many various species of fish, sting rays, etc. Also the dock allowed the boat tour to bring us directly back to the hotel. The furniture & art is unique, hand selected and creative. I can not express how incredible the ambiance was. The room was a junior suite with patio bar, table , microwave and 2 fridges. Bathroom was spacious with lovely shower heads. King bed was incredibly comfortable , something that I find not always the case. The service was excellent & friendly. They were helpful to book tours and taxis for us. We stayed 4 nights and wish we stayed longer. Will definitely come again!

Where to start....this is definitely a boutique hotel with limited rooms and interesting decor. Overall its beautifully decorated, but there was no separation for the bathroom or shower area. Not to mention there was a living wall IN the shower. It made it very difficult to take a shower. The whole hotel is built on raised floors which makes me wonder how creatures dont get in the rooms. The kitchen area is outside of the room which is unsanitary with stray cats and other animals around. This includes cups, dishes, utensils, microwave. There was also a language barrier with the employees which will make things difficult if you dont speak French. If you needed something it was hard to get help because either no one was around they didn't understand. There seemed to be a lack of customer service and willingness to help. Not to mention only certain employees could do certain duties which didnt help if you needed to check out, buy something, or ask for something. They only serve breakfast daily and you have to fill out what time you want it delivered the night before, but the time didnt seem to matter because it was delivered whenever it was ready.

My daughter & I spent 4 delightful nights here after a cruise. The staff was wonderful & helpful. We were greeted with a lei & delicious welcome drink.The property was amazing & one of the most beautiful locations I have ever experienced. We had an amazing suite with our private dock. It was so unique & even came with a couple of cats that we loved! We sat outside in the evenings & watched all different kinds of fish swim by. Was very cool. I would love to return some day although it is half way around the world!

Well, I can honestly say that this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. It is so beautiful and has so many lovely touches, everywhere you look there is something interesting. Eileen is an absolute delight and all the staff are friendly and enthusiastic. It is the mist extraordinary hotel and we really loved every minute of our time there. If we were to return to French Polynesia I wouldn’t even think about looking anywhere else. I hope so much that we get to return soon. Thank you so much for sharing your hotel with us Eileen.

This place was fantastic. We arrived very early before check in but the receptionist checked us in and made it very easy for us. We were allowed the run of the place until our room was ready. We received a beautiful fresh flower lei and a very tasty welcome drink. There are many different common rooms to relax in and feel very private. Our room was absolutely beautiful and just like the pictures portrayed online. We had our own private deck which was great to sit out on and watch the fish and the waves crashing on the reef. It was a very peaceful, calm and quiet stay which we needed after a long cruise. Everyone there made us feel special including Eileen, Anaise especially. Also the young man who helped with our very heavy luggage. I would return to this place again if/when we ever come back. We fell in love with this beautiful place.

This has been the worst experience I've had in my two decades of international travel. Thanks to Eileen, the hotel manager/owner? We had not been at the hotel for one or two hours when we decided to go to the nearest convenience store to grab some items when she had already entered the suite w/out our consent, she stated that "housekeeping" entered to do turndown service as that's what they do. HOWEVER, no turndown service was ever done and everything was as we had made it. We never saw housekeeping around during our stay, and believe she was the alleged housekeeping snooping because we had asked for additional sheets/linens, which she offered to RENT for additional ~$60. We politely declined and decided to grab the sheets from the couch. She was upset we did such thing because according to her we rented a 3 king size, 3 bedroom suite for 6 people...which was advertised by Expedia. However, we NEVER explicitly requested nor stated that we had such sleeping arrangements of 2 adults to sleep per bed. We respected the 6 guest that we booked, we booked an ENTIRE suite, never had a hotel prohibited a guest from sleeping on the couch if they so desired. After we asked for privacy, she went in again when stepped out of the property. This review has limited characters and limited a more thorough review, also no allowance for pictures but we have all the proof. Expedia should disassociate from this property. 0 respect for privacy requests &0 professionalism talking back at us rudely.

Beautiful hotel right on the water. They greet you with baggage help and will hold your luggage if you arrive early or need to leave late. Extremely accommodating and happy to help with any of our needs and answering questions. We stayed in the suite with a group of 6 and had plenty of space for everyone. Loved the view of the sunrise over the water. There are some language barriers but they are minor and overall we had no issues with our lack of French. We would stay here again in the future.

If you love a tropical feel this is the place for you. There are plants EVERYWHERE! We loved it! There are so many places to sit and relax and they are all so interesting. This hotel is filled with charm! Every time I went into one of the public spaces I would see something I hadn't seen before. This is way better than an over the water bungalow! You walk only steps to the water and can jump into a beautiful Lagoon. The owner is a lovely French woman who will take care of your every need and want! If she recommends something, do it! She knows the different vendors and restaurants and she is always right on! If you are looking for a slightly different, very personal place in Moorea this is it. We were here for 6 days and they were all fabulous. The staff is wonderful and will not have to lift a finger. Your bags will be taken to your room from your car or taxi and then back again at the end of your stay. Tours will be booked for you, taxies will be called, and you just need to enjoy the beautiful surroundings! The rooms were cleaned to perfection and the oils, lotions and soaps provided were absolutely wonderful! We had the most memorable time at the Fenua Mata'i'oa!

What a unique and eclectic property! Very tropical feeling and they have tons of lounge chairs and couches everywhere to chill. They have a super friendly kitty who visited often and I fell in love with. The negatives were the main receptionist spoke almost zero English, and they were doing construction right next to our suite- I complained but it continued on and off. Although we were out and about most days, one afternoon we wanted to chill within the outdoor area of our suite, but it was too noisy. I complained but all they conveyed (in French) was “20 more minutes” which turned out to be over an hour. At least they could’ve offered a free breakfast or bottle of wine to compensate. Ah well…we still enjoyed it there. If you’re looking for a more resort experience with pools and restaurants, this isn’t the place. But if you want a quiet (sans construction) and chill experience, this is a nice place.

Quiet, scenic waterfront setting with easy lagoon entry and beautiful sunsets; some restaurants and a small market are within walking distance, and several offer pickups. A car or taxi helps for dining and activities, and the entrance can be hard to find.

Overall we had a lovely stay. The grounds are beautiful with wonderful gardens. They are currently doing some construction which offered a little bit of noise. Lagoon access is terrific though it's a little too shallow to really swim there. Beautiful sunset spot with great outdoor seating.

Hotel is challenging to find with a rental car. Very small signage, looks like you turning down a driveway. Once you pass this challenge, you are in for a nice surprise. You enter the property through a path with tall foilage all-around. The property and room have character and are charming. The pillows are firm.

Hotel Fenua Mataioa is a very special place. We loved every minute of our stay there. The owner has managed to create a space that is authentic Moorea and harmonious with nature. Her beautiful art surrounds you at every turn. We feel blessed to have found this wonderful place. It was close to magic mountain, tiki village, Belvédère outlook and wonderful diving and snorkeling right from the property. There were wonderful restaurants nearby as well. This stay felt very authentic and we felt immersed in Polynesian culture and nature here.

This is a dream of a place especially if you prefer authenticity to manicured lawns. The rooms are partly an outdoors logia and also a bedroom with a/c. The whole is reached along paths through tropical forest and boardwalks by the sea link the common areas, with brightly coloured fish swimming right up to these. We were welcomed with lei and tropical cocktail. There is no restaurant but the hotel will order in for you from a selection of local restaurants.

The hotel was extremely nicely decorated!!!! The views were great. However, there is no beach. It is located next to a lagoon, but you cannot really swim there and there is no snorkel to do. We had a car, so it was easy to go to other beaches. The owner is very nice. It is super amazing how she arranged the rooms. For example, we have a garden in our bathroom you just have to go and see it.

We stayed at the Princess Lokelani room. It was steps from the water. We saw a manta ray there and lots of fish. (Note that there is no actual beach as the whole island is enclosed by a coral reef). The hotel is very unique and has a stellar breakfast that they bring to your room. We loved the common area, it's very distinctive and comfortable. We borrowed canoes and found the manta and shark area ~10 mins away. There are boats and tours that travel from all over the island just to go there. The hotel is close to solid restaurants and has parking. Main drawback is mosquitos given the room is surround by greenery - come prepared.

The perfect place if you're looking for peace and quiet, the sunbeds overlooking the ocean are unmatched. There's a local shop which has lots to offer for breakfast/lunch options and/or light teas. There's a couple of restaurants within a 10 minutes walk. Otherwise, a 30 minutes walk into town is needed, there's no pavement or streetlights but if you have a torch it will be fine (we did this numerous times and felt safe).

The property is stunning. The foliage and decor is unlike any place I’ve ever stayed. Each room is meticulously decorated with a private entrance. Very quiet and relaxing. Kayaks available to take advantage of calm waters with stingrays and eagle rays. Location was wonderful as you can kayak to coco beach which is must do. Our welcome drink was serious and beautiful. Wish we could’ve stayed longer

They charge you $30 if you get earlier than check in time, just to be on the common areas that are empty. I have never seen this anywhere in the world. They only serve breakfast and there are no restaurants close by.

We stayed at hotel Fenua for 3 nights in the romance suite during our 18 night honeymoon. Of the 7 lodgings we stayed at - this was by far the most unique place. Staff was very friendly & assisted with delivering early morning breakfast that we ordered the night prior. It has direct access to the water (but it is not very clear compared to some other parts of the lagoons). We were able to rent a kayak while here and also had one of our best spa sessions while on our trip. Fenua is one of a kind as it only offers 5 very unique and homey rooms. We spent a decent amount of time in the lounge area which felt like something out of a book. The common area & rooms have an abundance of plants that are well maintained and give the ambience of staying in a coastal jungle. The AC worked surprisingly well despite other reviews we had seen. The breakfast we ordered was incredible - especially the homemade jams included with the pastry boards. There are only a couple of potential downsides depending on your preferences. 1.) There will be geckos in your room - they are small and harmless, but you’ll want to keep your bags zipped. 2.) Sometimes you’ll hear easily through the walls (staff working outside on maintenance / birds nestling on the roof) etc. 3.) As mentioned before there is only 5 rooms offered here, so you will not run into many guests. We viewed this as an overall positive since we had privacy & a unique experience while also having the benefits of an active staff on site

Our stay was very enjoyable. I loved the eclectic vibes of this place. Having our morning breakfast brought to our patio was a great start to the day. We were also able to use the kayaks to paddle out to the motu which was a great experience. I would recommend staying at Hôtel Fenua Mata'i'oa

Absolutely stunning. It is rare to find a place that is better than the pictures, but this is! Friendly, helpful staff throughout our stay. The grounds and view of the ocean are beyond words. Breakfast brought to your room including fresh tropical fruit selection is a perfect way to start the day. The steady rhythm of the waves on the edge of the barrier reef lulls you to sleep. Several species of fish congregate right next to the dock in crystal clear water.

What a unique and eclectic property! Very tropical feeling and they have tons of lounge chairs and couches everywhere to chill. They have a super friendly kitty who visited often and I fell in love with. The negatives were the main receptionist spoke almost zero English, and they were doing construction right next to our suite- I complained but it continued on and off. Although we were out and about most days, one afternoon we wanted to chill within the outdoor area of our suite, but it was too noisy. I complained but all they conveyed (in French) was “20 more minutes” which turned out to be over an hour. At least they could’ve offered a free breakfast or bottle of wine to compensate. Ah well…we still enjoyed it there. If you’re looking for a more resort experience with pools and restaurants, this isn’t the place. But if you want a quiet (sans construction) and chill experience, this is a nice place.

The location of this place is incredible. We saw so many sting rays and sharks right on the patio. There was a great little shop right nearby with awesome pastries and premade food. The decor of the place makes you feel like you’re on a magical retreat. They are very welcoming and give you delicious fancy tiki drinks with fruit and flower garnishes when you check in. The garden is so beautiful and well maintained. My only issue was at night there were thousands of ants on the ceiling and in the bathroom. Luckily we booked a place with two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so we went into the other room when the ants came out at night. Despite the ants I would recommend this place if you’re looking for a special experience that you will remember forever.

We had a wonderful stay at Hôtel Fenua Mata’i’oa and only wish we could have stayed longer! The hotel is absolutely beautiful and felt like a peaceful tropical retreat. One of our favorite features was the private balcony area, which was the perfect place to relax and take in the surroundings. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our stay. They truly made us feel at home and were always available to help with anything we needed. From the beautiful setting to the exceptional hospitality, everything exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Moorea. Thank you for such a memorable stay!

We absolutely LOVED this hotel. Eileen has created an amazing retreat in paradise. It’s right on the lagoon with beautiful views but apart from the touristy spots. We were able to order breakfast every morning with homemade jams and everything made to order. The decor in the hotel is beautiful - very green and lush. Eileen organized our tours ahead of time and was so helpful through our entire stay. We also loved her cats and the geckos who came to join us for breakfast. Truly a delightful stay. We will be back if we can. A slice of heaven. Highly recommend!
