Hôtel Fenua Mata'i'oa

The location was spectacular. Lovely welcome drinks and leis, and Eileen was very accommodating. We had great massages and it was the perfect spot to take off for snorkeling trips. We would definitely come back!

An unexpected Gem. Nicly appointed rooms and great access to peace and quiet.

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

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!

Very good in all respects 👍
