We appreciated the natural setting and the steps to preserve nature and the ocean. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching all of the beautiful fish and rays, wow! Loved the beautiful views and water access. We also loved the rustic but elegant vibe of the decor. Every piece looked carefully chosen and fit perfectly. The bed and linens were amazing and comfortable. The waterfront bungalow we stayed in was well equipped for us to make breakfast and snacks. So peaceful!!! A slice of paradise.

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!!

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. You will also need to rent a car or get a taxi everywhere you go since there are limited options nearby for food.

Spectacular snorkeling with authentic flair

French Polynesia is expensive and this boutique hotel was not only an amazing snorkel location but also charming and authentic. Large enough for me, my hubs and parents to share and the team there was so helpful. But be aware if you go to the area during off season, some restaurants are closed the early part of the week and grocery store has limited hours. So plan accordingly! But the snorkel was stellar, the only better snorkeling we saw was way out by the reef on a small boat in Bora Bora.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

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!

Beautiful hotel. Stayed in the romantic suite with the private beach. Loved every minute! Staff were lovely and attentive. Lots of greenery, meaning lots of bugs. The lagoon was perfect for snorkelling - so many fish and sharks and sting rays come down at night. Kayaks/paddle boards available to use to get out to snorkel at different places in the lagoon. Also kitchen area for basic cooking was useful. Would love to come back!!

My wife and I nearly cried on the day we had to leave this beautiful hotel. It was one of the most spectacular properties either and I had ever been to, and we felt so beautifully cared for by the staff, particularly the owner, Eileen. From the arrival with flower leis and a luscious cocktail, to the property which is entirely surrounded by vivid turquoise water, to our spectacular bedroom with a bath/shower surrounded by plants and a private beach, we never wanted to leave the property, and only did for a few tours. Other than that, why would you want to be anywhere else but with that view! We also had massages at the property that were fantastic. Every detail was cared for and beautiful. We’ve had a truly remarkable trip in FP but Hotel Fenoa Mata’i’oa is the place we most deeply want to return to.

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.
