Hôtel Fenua Mata'i'oa

Following a week of Sailing with friends in Bora-Bora, we decided that a final night stay in Moorea would be a good end to our trip. We discovered that Fenua Mata'i'oa had a 3-bedroom suite that was perfect for our group. Nicely decorated and comfortable, we settled in for a luxurious night. We were early, but Eileen greeted us warmly and the staff took care of our luggage while offering a welcome cocktail by the lagoon. Breakfast the next morning was perfect. Would stay again and again.

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 *******. 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. ******* should disassociate from this property. 0 respect for privacy requests &0 professionalism talking back at us rudely.

This was a beautiful stay. Wonderful service. Amazing atmosphere. Great local restaurants that pick you up for free. Swimming was amazing. Very good local supermarket only 5 minutes walk. Very much enjoyed this hotel.

This is a very unique property, and the staff is very warm and welcoming. We stayed in the Prestige suite, overwater, and loved it.

We loved the beautiful property and the natural grounds around it. Step directly into the lagoon. The proprietor and her assistants are wonderful. Great location.

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.

My wife and I loved the design and feel of Hotel Fenua Mata'i'oa. Everywhere that we spent time at the hotel provided new discoveries and was both relaxing and very interesting. This is the opposite of a standard hotel room with lush greenery, eclectic art and collections, cool design, delicious cocktails and nice people. We also took their kayak across the channel to snorkel with sharks and rays. It was a highlight of our trip to French Polynesia, and we will definitely stay there again if we are ever back on Moorea.

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.

The most beautiful place to stay on the island, even better than the pictures. Mo’orea is better than Bora Bora in my opinion!
