Beautiful place, bad value

Positives: incredible coral right off the beach, beautiful pool area, lovely water, calm and quiet, great fire show (only held once during our four night stay) Negatives: bad value at $400/night for a very basic room, few free activities (most don’t happen - when asked why, the staff just shrug their shoulders), paid activities are good but overpriced, water is awful - hence tea, coffee etc is also not great, stingy on quality of bread and juice for breakfast, diner is overpriced. Overall: go if you love coral, beautiful water, and a nice pool. Don’t go if you want good food and water, or good value for money. Either way, bring your own water.

Very comfortable right on beach, fantastic staff, beautifull athentic surrounds, incredible snorkling even just off beach

Perfect ! A true paradise! Friendly staff, stunning setting and delicious food! Can't wait to come back !

We have been here many times before. We love this island. We did find the staff not so over friendly. Maybe they were tired after a busy season

For those looking for a quiet intimate experience, Matamanoa is excellent. Mostly couples both young and older. There a a few activities offered but mainly, this is a place to relax and enjoy your surroundings. Accommodation and food are great. Staff is freat.

We really enjoyed every aspect of Matamanoa Island Resort and would happily visit again

Great service!

You Won’t be Disappointed

We had the most incredible time at this resort. It will forever be a bench mark that we will compare to going forward. The staff were professional and friendly. The service the best I’ve had in Fiji and the only down side one the whole trip - was leaving to come home. We’re already planning to return next October.

We found an absolute gem at Matamanoa Island. Beautiful rooms and views. We stayed in a beachfront bure which was awesome. Very private but still just a short walk to the main restaurant. The food was fairly typical of a remote island resort but there was enough variety for a week stay. The Ika Kokoda is a must to try. Absolutely delicious, totoka. The best thing about Matamanoa are the staff. They are all always so happy and friendly. There are so many to mention but we made great new friends with Nanise (restaurant), Lucas & Khatri (fire dancers and very funny guys), Naomi and Jerry behind the bar (both make great Negronis) and Alfred and Rami (guitar serenaders that entertained us every night, sometimes quite late). There were so many more though, I should have made more notes of their names. They were always quite amused by my attempts to speak Fijian (tolutolu) but I'll be better next time. We also made a couple of trips over to their village at Tavua. We went to church their and felt so welcome. The village visit a couple of days later was lovely too. The people of Fiji are amazing. We can't wait to return, hopefully soon. Vinaka vakalevu, moce.

Beautiful resort & location, very relaxed, friendly and has great beaches as well as pool facilities

Beautiful little piece of paradise. Extremely relaxing, wonderful staff and gorgeous resort.

Beautiful Matamanoa! We loved our stay on this tropical island paradise. We will be back!

Absolutely amazing holiday, the staff are fantastic and the snorkelling is incredible. Can't wait to go back!!

Comfort, activities and extraordinarily kind service made our stay a delight. We were disappointed to see no sign of renewable energies, or sustainable practices. The natural environment - bird and marine life - are key drawcards and appear to be unsupported by management strategies.

Loved our Bure or Villa. It was amazing. However, value for money I would say stay away from this resort. At 1000 FJD per night, it's not worth it. And it all comes down to service level of the staff. Some staff were very nice but there is glaring issues. Housekeeping forgets or doesn't clean the room til almost 5pm, no towels for the room at times, introduction to the resort is missing out on what's available like where is the spa, there is a vegetarian menu, etc that we only found out about on the last night. I know Fijian customer service is not as good as Asian but the staff is quick to say no with no alternative or explanation.

Loved our time in Matamanoa. First time to this resort, small island so quick to explore. Lovely gardens, food is excellent, pricey but being a remote resort it was to be expected. Staff always friendly and helpful. We spent hours snorkelling, very good experience with coral and fish in abundance. Highly recommend this resort. (Convenience shop doesn’t have variety so bring from the main island what you need)

The staff make Matamanoa so amazing. We met the Duty Manager on the ferry over, and after one conversation mentioning my wife’s birthday, she remembered and organised a cake and song for our table at dinner one evening. The facilities are fantastic. Snorkelling was incredible, and the tree top spa was breathtaking. 12/10 experience! ♥️🤿🌴

7 out of 10

Overall a lovely stay. Just abit disappointed about the dietary requirements as the resort was notified months in advance but still struggled with the request. Otherwise very friendly service and relaxing time.

Tiny island paradise!! Stayed a week & couldn’t have stayed another, it was so sad to leave. Fell in love with the incredible staff, particularly Khatri, Sadrina, Mahns, Melea & Gabby. Nightly music so gorgeous. The feeling they create of ‘island home’ is something you won’t get at big resorts. Beautiful beaches, lots of wildlife, food was delicious - loved it & will be back. Vinaka Matamanoa!!

We loved the adults only aspect and the snorkelling and sealife was amazing. Tropical fish like confetti in the water on the 'drop-off'. The Beachfront Pool Bure is definitely the better room type to go for as you can walk straight onto the beach and there are no noisy birds (like in the villas - Nov-May). The food was average, very western and it would have been nice to see some more local dishes (the Kokoda dish was delicious). The cocktails and fruit juices were made from cordials which was very disappointing for a 4 star property. The resort staff were very friendly, helpful and happy.

Well, this was our 5th time in Fiji, and by far not the best, the beaches around the area were dirty, i.e. bottles and burnt rubbish that's not getting cleared. The breakfast is from a menu, and not buffet, which is what you would expect at this kind of resort. When you order a sirloin steak, you only get half of it. (The dinner menu in general was again, not what you would expect) There is no gym on site, despite what the website claims. The pool has algae against the eastern side, and sigarett butts don't get picked up. The snorkeling was amazing, though, and the staff were very friendly.

Friendly and efficient service with a great pool with plenty of shaded loungers. Our villa was great, but other people reported being kept awake by mutton birds under their villa. So choose carefully.

Lovely secluded island setting and very pretty. Room was big with traditional decor, although a little tired in places. Staff and ambience was excellent as was the infinity pool area. However a little annoying that smoking was allowed very close to the pool and common areas. Unfortunately weather was poor, and off shore snorkeling opportunities were limited. Guided snorkel trips were good considering the weather and saw rays and sharks briefly. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

The beach front Bure with plunge pool are worth the extra money. If you get a garden bungalow, you will regret it.

A very quiet resort, by 11 pm bar closes and the villas are all quiet. Room is clean and in good condition, and the pool has a great ocean view. Music group are awesome Alfred especially with the table serenades. Only downside for me was the lack of cold icy water available.

Wonderful slice of paradise!

The water is clear, the view are breathtaking especially treehouse spa. All of the staffs are very friendly and very warm like family style. We got ocean view/access bangalo with private pool and it was the best . You can see sunset from our private swimpool and very beautiful.. I would comw back again with my friends within 2 years again

Beautiful beach, peaceful.

A Disappointing Experience where service is a sad

This hotel cuts too many corners wherever possible. -The restaurant service here is exceptionally slow. It's not just slow; it's practically non-existent. -The quality of food falls short of what one would expect from a 4-star hotel. I strongly advise against ordering any beef or steak; it's far from good quality. In fact, the food overall is below standard. Take a look at the photo of the burger for reference. - The staff appears dispirited and inattentive. - While the rooms aren't dirty, numerous details don't meet the expected 4-star quality. - The wine glasses you get are the smallest one I’ve ever seen. - Room service consistently fails to restock shampoo and bathroom towels. - If you need anything attended to, you have to approach the staff multiple times before any action is taken. - It's worth noting that there's a 4% surcharge for credit card payments. - Also, the hotel failed to reply to multiple emails before my arrival. Anecdote: When I approached the bar and made eye contact with the bartender, I offered a friendly smile and a warm greeting. To my surprise, I received only an apathetic stare in return. The bartender didn't respond with even a simple "hi" back. Instead, he turned away to prepare my drink.

Overall we enjoyed our 6 night stay at Matamanoa, but there are some drawbacks. Staff are generally friendly, but the restaurant team is really odd and service quality is hit-and-miss. Some of the restaurant staff don’t smile at all and are inattentive and slow, very few are excellent. Pricing for everything is quite high, even if you take the island location into account. Meals are generally small servings with little variety. Breakfast however is very good with several standing options and adequate portion sizes. Highlight was the team at Deep Blue Diving who are super friendly and fun. The accommodation (we had a pool Bure) was beautiful and clean, the bathroom however was a little dated and water supply was inconsistent.

Wonderful property, fantastic views, great room, would highly recommend.

Magic Matamoana

Stayed 8 nights in a beach front bure, which was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Service and food sometimes was a little patchy. Overall a nice getaway and as always, the local staff who looked after us, were friendly and welcoming.

Lots of potential but excessive waits for breakfast and lack of customer service made the stay not as good. Limited food and small portions for an excessive price

Our stay at Matamanoa was magical! The beachfront pool villa we stayed in was a sanctuary of peace & relaxation. With uninterrupted sunrise & surrounding ocean views, we spent a lot of our time in the plunge pool & relaxing on the cabana. We had read reviews that the food was limited - we couldn’t disagree more! The included breakfast was like dining in your favourite cafe, lunch menu was extensive and the dinner menu changed almost daily with delicious food. The staff were some of the most friendly & welcoming people you have ever met! The island offers lots of activities - due to a foot injury we didn’t participate as much as we would have liked but plan to return in the near future to make the most of it! With live music every night, a stunning spa in the island tree tops, water activities and cultural events & activities - there is something for everyone. Did we mention the Pina Coladas?! Thank you Matamanoa, we will be back!

Matamanoa is the definition of an island paradise! Beautiful rooms that strikes an amazing balance between privacy/seclusion and friendly interactions. The snorkeling right off the beach is incredible, and very short boat rides to dive sites making scuba very, very easy. Finally amazing staff sealed the deal of a great holiday

The staff at Matamanoa are so friendly and accommodating. From the welcome song to the see you next time, you felt like you were very welcome and appreciated. The breakfast was great (included an a’la carte menu) and you started each morning with fresh fruit and warm pastries delivered to your table. We found no need for a meal plan as most days we didn’t need lunch and having full course meals (lunch and dinner) twice a day would have been too much food. We got married in front of our villa and it was quiet and private. For those getting married on this island I recommend to check the tide schedule first if you want to get married on the beach. We planned a sunset beach wedding and had to pivot the day before due to the high tide. You are on an island and have picked a time you are kinda stuck with it due to logistics of people travelling to you. (Minister, photographer etc). A big shout out to Kelera for helping us say I Do! We appreciate your assistance and friendly manner. We recommend the beachfront bures or villas if you can afford it, the garden units appeared to be small and a bit dark. The beachfront bures are big, surrounded by tropical plants for privacy. We spent a lot of time using our bure yard for sunning, reading and relaxing. We would love to return to your island anytime and highly recommend a visit to anyone.

Very friendly and attentive staff. great location for rest and relaxation . my 2 rooms were great with beautiful ocean views Right from my bed. Highly recommend for a beautiful Island getaway.

Amazing resort with the best staff. Great options for diving and snorkeling, as well as, a ton of other activities.

Nice resort. Beautiful beaches. Great massages!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful beachfront Burre with pool, ocean front views. Clean.

Great

Dining could have been more varied. The Crape Suzette’s were never offered on the menu during the week we were there, and the menus were the same every day. The bar offered good drinks, but not many top shelf spirits which made the cocktails of a lesser quality, we mostly switched to beer after the first day. The shelves in the bar cooler were mostly rusted and the water bottles on the dining tables all had mold growing inside them and were not cleaned properly. The ocean bure was beautiful, as was the pool and most of the grounds. The beach was stunning. The spa offered amazing location with typical spa offerings at a reasonable price. The dive shop went above and beyond every day and made up for the few shortcomings of the resort. Thank you Deep Blue.

Very lush island with so many bird life and the sound of mating birds at night made you a part of nature.

Property is very dated needs a lot of work to come up to the standard they are charging. The food is terrible menu is minimal and extremely expensive. Prices on the small store are ridiculous there’s no offer for any traditional Fijian dance or food disappointing however the island itself is amazing

The staff are absolutely incredible! Great humour, amazing hospitality and always so warm and friendly. 10 out of 10

Fantastic landed in Heaven. The staff address you by name.One of the best places I have ever been, great food great hospitality beautiful Resort . The welcoming and when you leave is so heart warming.

We stayed here for 7 nights. Had a lovely time! Rooms were beautiful, staff were super friendly and helpful and the resort and island is amazing!!

Had a great time overall . Staff , Facilities and Accommodation were excellent, a slight let down was the size and quality of meals for the prices charged. But would still return to this lovely Island

Very understaffed

The resort was beautiful! It is well maintained and clean. The staff go above and beyond to make sure your stay is everything you could want, and more. They are all extremely friendly and welcoming. I can't praise them enough for making our experience perfect!

Our vacation on Matamanoa was magical

The food, accommodations, location and activities were outstanding but the staff is what really made our trip memorable. We cant wait to go back to visit our Fijian friends.

Personnel very friendly and helpful.

Amazing island! We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was so special. You’re so well looked after at Matamanoa well certainly be back one day ✌️ Thank you so much to all the amazing staff for making it so memorable

Amazing place

Most awful food at any resort I’ve travelled to-think high school cafeteria but worse. Out of 4 resorts visited in Fiji this vacation, this was only one that missed the mark. Facilities quite dated, staff pleasant but not as friendly as other places, but lovely island location. I could have overlooked those things if the food/wine was good. However, we were so shocked and disappointed after our first dinner service (rubbery mussels on plain tomato sauce and pasta was the seafood pasta), with no decent wine selection that we informed Patrick the manager we were checking out early on next days ferry and searched to find other accommodations for our last few days in Fiji. Travelled too far to stay anywhere we are not enjoying ourselves.

Love the peace and serenity of this resort The beauty of the Island and the sea views are second to none. We look forward to returning

Most of the staff didn’t seem like they wanted to be there, everything was about making money The island is in a bad state Not as it is the pictures I wouldn’t go back again

Fiji Time

A very relaxing Island for spending 'Fiji time' .. friendly staff really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Menu could use a bit more variation would be my only feedback.

Awesome place to stay, definitely worth the truck off the main island to be in the middle of the mamanucas

I loved my stay in Matamanoa Island Resort. It was a lovely setting, very relaxing and fantastic views. Staff were amazing and organized at short notice a lovely birthday celebration that made my partners day. Cleaning staff were amazing and love it that our room was tidy and well stocked with Pure Fiji too. We will be back.

We have return visits Matamanoa because it is a beautiful island with beautiful people who always make you welcome. The surrounding islands also provide lots to do and some lovely coral.

Lovely islolated island where you can escape, relax and snorkel. Great place to unwind. It's starting to show it's age in some places, but is still a lovely place to visit. Highly recommend the Bure's with the plunge pool.

Very nice resort on a little island. Staffs on the island are amazing, friendly and professional. We had a very special experience there when a hurricane was passing Fiji, and we were locked down on the island for some days. But we were kept safe during the period, and was well serviced just like normal times. We were also doing scuba course with Emma. She is amazing!

The proximity to the reef and the abundance of coral and sea life were amazing. The only minor negative points were the food and alcoholic drinks weren't the greatest, and were quite expensive for what you got. We fully expected that though with the remoteness of the island and the island and staff more than made up for the meals and drinks.

This is a fantastic hotel with amazingly friendly and welcoming staff. Evening activities are great (although not compulsory). Stunning views all around the island and the rooms are large and spacious. One of the best places I have stayed.

Rude front desk in our time of need

All of the ferry services to the island were cancelled therefore we were not able to reach the hotel. When we learnt of the ferry cancellations, on the night before our trip was due to start, we called the hotel and could not get an answer for our first 3 calls. We kept calling and eventually we spoke to a lady who was very abrupt "The ferries don't work for us, our policy is no refunds". Although I understand that the ferry cancellation is outside of the control of the hotel, I found the conversation to be very rude. That paired with the disappointment of the cancellations really ruined our holiday.

The property was amazing, highly recommend the newer bures on the opposite side of the island. Very private and has it's own beach. Super great staff, good food and excellent diving.

Everything top. These guys are amazing and effective

The beach front villas were definitely worth the extra money, amazing views just fantastic. The short walk to the main complex was relaxing stopping to watch crabs on the rocks. Totally relaxing!! Paradise 🏖🌸

The staff was wonderful, the property was beautiful! The only complaint we could possibly have was that there weren't any hammocks down by the beach and there weren't many options for snacks or drinks in the "gift shop" area.

I reviewed this property once and mentioned the meal price as being way overpriced. Well the staff had actually put an incorrect price on the menu board and when all was said and done. It was fine. As far as lodging, our bure and cleanliness was excellent! The staff went above and beyond in friendliness and making sure we were comfortable and taken care of. The dive team offered friendly service and lent us snorkeling gear for the week as well a access to kayaks. Trips out and about are available and we did the Snorkeling Safari which let us see some of the most beautiful coral reefs. Unfortunately at Our last area jellyfish sent us alll back tor the boat but that’s no ones fault just nature. We did enjoy our 5 days on Matamanoa Island.

The location, staff and facilities were all excellent.

The ocean front bure was beautiful. Unfortunately the lack staff enthusiasm and low quality and serverly overpriced food was a big disappointment.

Loved the friendly staff. Would like wifi in rooms.

From the minute you got off the boat you were welcomed with open arms - the Big Bula smile. The staff are so friendly. The location is amazing. The Bure with your own pool was fabulous. Snorkelling was spectacular. We are definitely coming back and recommending this to all our friends. Such a beautiful place to relax and feel welcome. BULA

Like Paradise! Friendly staff, great foot. Will come again.

Our stay at Matamanoa was incredible. Such an amazing place to relax and unwind and the private burés are unreal. Make sure you check tide times however as we went snorkelling on the reef straight out from our room and got caught in a very, very low tide coming back in

Very quite and clean. The staff are really, really friendly.

We recommend this island since this is our second trip to the island says it all.

Wow! What a lovely time we had. A great resort with staff who actually seem to care. Did a couple of dives with the Deep Blue Diving and Watersports team who were fantastic. We are not very experienced divers and needed a bit of looking after and we could not have asked for better service or treatment. Trevor, Emma and the team have brought us to a new level of confidence in our diving that will allow us to move ahead with more adventurous dives in the future. Had some great dives with sharks and even managed to complete the Padi Freediver course with Trevor’s fantastic training which for a person with a fear of being underwater was a great personal achievement. We were sad to leave all on Matamanoa behind and look forward to visiting again soon. Ian & Lezlee

Beach Bure fantastic, staff very friendly, food good

Loved the island and the Villas are excellent, beautifull breakfast and great staff.

Mata paradise

Island paradise. The people and the vibe were so relaxed and relaxing. Snorkelling was fantastic. Villa was in a fantastic position and so comfortable. The Matamanoa bird is so cute it can be forgiven for the night sounds. I would go there again in an instant.

We had a Beachfront Bure, room 31. It’s a great room with a awesome beach. It’s a little rocky in the water so water shoes are recommended there. It two beach loungers and a full lounge bed with over head cover to take a nap. It has a outside shower to rinse sand off yourself before entering the room. Stairs to go downto the beach are right in front of the Bure.

Adult only break

A beautiful resort for a quiet and restful stay. Lovely facilities, friendly staff, and plenty of activities to keep us busy at the same time as feeling totally rested.

Disappointing

Very disappointing, the beach was a mess. No one cleans up plastic, bit of old coral rocks etc. Several people got hurt standing on stuff that could easily been tidied up. Almost did it myself. Pool was green slimy looking. Apparently green tiles, but most uninviting. The meat on the menu was so stringy, poor chef didn't have a chance. Beautiful swimming and warm clear water.

Good snorkeling, but nothing else

There is nothing to do except dive and snorkel, though the snorkeling is EXCELLENT. The food is expensive and mediocre. The room had no accommodation for storing any clothing, no drawers and only two small shelves in the closet. It is good that there are no mosquitos, but you will be misted with pesticide at least once a day. The bungalows are beautiful and private. WiFi only in central areas.

Utter paradise, fantastic staff, great reef!

Wowed would be the word we felt when arriving at Matamanoa! This place is pure heaven! Get the beach front buree you won’t be disappointed! Excellent food, fantastic staff, great tiny island vibe, beautiful reef straight out from your room! If you’re looking for a big shiny resort feel this isn’t the place for you, but if your looking for a more authentic Fijian feel, that’s luxurious but more personal then come here! Utterly romantic and perfect! We stayed 3 nights and could easily have stayed 3 more! Great activities every day too! Matamanoa you stole our heart! <3

Beyond perfection

Amazing staff in a truly world class accommodation

Beautiful place to stay!

My friend and I stayed at Matamanoa for 5 nights, including over Christmas. The island is beautiful, the staff are very friendly and the food is good too. Would love to go again!

Great room; loved the plunge pool

Staff and facilities were great. Food was a disappointment. Not enough choice for lunch and service very slow. Buffet with more choice would be preferable.

Serenity

Beautiful island and people. I loved the privacy and would recommend the resort to everyone

Private abd peaceful

The resort is on its own island, which has beautiful white sand beaches and crystal clear water. You can snorkel straight from the beach - we saw a wide range of fish and a few reef sharks. Traditional style buildings and rooms and most rooms have own plunge pool and day bed. Staff are friendly and relaxed. Good range of activities on offer. Food is very expensive and not of a great standard (I understand this is due to the remoteness of the island).

Great look, lovely people- poor food and service

Gorgeous place but let down by the food and service. Food very average poor selection very 1970s and 3 of my party of 10 got gastroenteritis ?food ? water. The fish dish Kokoda had chewy skin on fish portions which should have been removed. Very Fiji typical , staff are lovely and kind but systems processes poor, wrong meals, took an hour for lunch between ordering and arriving at table. Cocktails were disappointing , had a coffee machine but very poorly made when ordered. The yacht was poorly kept and not well maintained which could be a serious hazard. Hotels in Fiji run by international chains have much better food and processes

Island paradise

We stayed here for 5 nights in September for our first wedding anniversary , it was stunningly beautiful. We booked a bure ( B25 ), it had a private plunge pool and was literally 20 steps to the water, which had some of the most beautiful reefs I'd ever snorkelled, we saw hundreds of different species of fish and also some black tip and white tip sharks, beautiful coral , turtles , fish , and sharks !! (Friendly ones). Our room had a huge king size bed with a 3 m x 3 m window right in front of it overlooking the ocean, it was amazing waking up to that everyday. There were plenty of free activities on the island also day trips which you can pay for. Trips to the village most of the staff come from is a good day trip, and you can purchase ornaments and things from them which helps them out economically. I'd read some of the reviews on the food before we went and was a little concerned, but most of the food we had was fine. They change the menu everyday and had a buffet breakfast which is free and well above average. I booked a romantic dinner which was amazing. I also caught a Spanish mackerel when I went fishing and the chef cooked it for a small fee which was beautifully cooked. They also cooked a lovo for us. We arrived via helicopter and were welcomed by friendly smiling staff with a drink waiting and a hand carved wooden baton with our names on the door and a bottle of wine. They also sang a welcoming song for us, they really do make you feel very welcome.

Beautiful island resort

Absolute paradise. After 9 trips to Fiji I have found the place I will keep coming back to. Four luxury nights in a beachfront villa, private and tastefully furnished. Friendly helpful staff, nothing was too much bother for them. Overall a very memorable holiday. I would highly recommend.

Romantic and secluded getaway

Absolutely beautiful and idyllic location. We stayed in a Bure and it was the perfect setting for a romantic getaway. There is very little do do other than relax and enjoy the view, the clarity of the water and the water sports on offer. The staff were excellent and couldn't do enough to make our holiday enjoyable. The only aspect that could be improved was the food. It was very expensive and of average quality.

4 days of relaxation

Quiet hotel with incredible views and amazing staff Room was beautiful Food is mostly above average the best meals were seafood Needs more variety in wine by glass Massage recommended Has a lovely feel and would definitely go back

Beautiful Resort, Terrible Food

We were very torn about our experience at Matamanoa Island Resort. The island itself is stunning and does look exactly like the website photos, as does the Bure we stayed in. The beauty of the resort and the friendliness of its staff was unfortunately marred by the food. It was incredibly disappointing in terms of quality and very expensive considering what it was. For example, 95% of the food was tinned or frozen. Think - tinned mushrooms for breakfast and frozen mini spring rolls that you would find in your local grocery store. It was honestly shockingly bad. While the staff were friendly, particularly the entertainment staff and the deep blue diving staff, the service lacked. Often we had to ask several times for our order to be taken (once three times and then the meals both came out incorrectly). Overall we still enjoyed out stay, mainly because of the sheer beauty of the island and the activities, just be warned about the food (and there is no where else to eat so make sure you factor that in)!

Loved the resort and the staff - will go back

Overall we loved the resort, the staff, the facilities, the dining room and the beachfront bure with plunge pool was amazing. We thought if the seaweed was cleared from the main beach each day it would have looked stunning. While had to pay for wifi, we chose not to which added to our relaxing getaway. Fairly expensive transfers, but same to all island resorts.
