Avis FENUA MATA'I'OA Tiahura

Merci pour ce moment merveilleux passé ici

Beautiful location. Nice rooms. Snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding right from the balcony of the hotel. Nice folks. Great lunch spot walking distance away. Would definitely recommend (and go to Coco Beach!)

Notre 3e séjour en 1 an, quelle merveille cet hôtel atypique à l'image de son artiste

Ein sehr gemütliches Boutique Hotel. Spiegelt die Flair und stil der Insel wider (viele sehr ästhetisch abgestimmte Deko Elemente mit Holz, Muscheln etc. ) qualitative Ausstattung, AC. Perfekt ist der Blick auf die Lagune und die Erreichbarkeit zu vielen Restaurants. Schade fand ich den Service. Frühstück kann man sich für jeden Tag bestellen oder alternativ selbstverpflegung machen da man eine gut ausgestattete kleine Küche zu jeden Bungalow hat. Wir hatten ein Garten-Bungalow und ich muss leider sagen dass mir teilweise die Sonne gefehlt hat (so schön auch der angelegte kleine Jungel auch ist).

Un établissement situé dans un quartier très calme dans un jardin luxuriant au bord du lagon. Dès l’arrivé on est frappé par le soin porté à la décoration ainsi que de la gentillesse de l’accueil. Les chambres sont spacieuses et luxueuses, la literie est excellente, salle de bains confortable dans le même ton de bien-être. Un endroit idéal pour se ressourcer à Moorea.||On y sert que le déjeuner, pas de dîner à l’établissement, mais d’amples options pour se restaurer dans les environs.

Fenua Mata’i’oa est un véritable paradis dont Eileen est la créatrice.
Cet hôtel magique est celui dont nous garderons le plus beau souvenir de notre voyage en Polynésie Française
En espérant le retrouver à l’identique le jour où nous reviendrons

Le paradis dans un hotel boutique au bord de l'eau. Le calme, le soin du d'écor, le jardin vraiment luxuriant, la patronne, Eileen,inérnarrable dans le bon sens, les lumières de soir qui attire beaucoup de poisson en frénésie alimentaire la nuit, un spectacle incontournable. Un bar et des salons cozy et décorés avec soins, un étang à koi. Devant le lagon. restaurants à 5 minutes. Kayaks et matériel de snorkelling à louer

My husband and I had a short but lovely stay in Moorea and Fenua Mata’i’oa was the best place we could have picked. It offers all the comfort of mainstream hotels with the comfort of home. The atmosphere is extra cozy with huge couches across the communal space where guests can relax and enjoy the moment. The decor of the hotel is thoroughly thought out and its beauty surprises its guest at every corner. The view is just stunning, with a deck with chairs for guests on the beach, from where we spotted several times manatees and barrier sharks as well countless other fishes. Guests can rent kayak or sup and take a little tour of the lagoon which we did every day of our stay. The hotel can also organize massages for the guests (which I highly recommend). Eileen is super nice, welcoming and helpful and really wants the guests to have the best time.
Great location, great welcoming, great rooms and service, Amazing atmosphere and great staff! I already want to book another get away to Moorea and to Fenua Mata’i’oa. Thank you for making our stay so magical!

Eileen has created something special. The vibe is bohemian chic with attention to detail that makes you feel like you truly are in paradise. Anything you might want to do is easily coordinated with the front desk. The lounge and waterfront area is so relaxing. We definitely will be back!

My stay at Hotel Fenua was nothing short of magical. I had booked for two people. But my other had to cancel so I traveled solo. What a paradise within a paradise! Eileen has created a peaceful Oasis of beauty infused with authentic island charm, but also with your tech needs, if required. Everyone was helpful booking excursions for me, recommending restaurants and generally being wonderful every day. I never wanted to leave. Grab a kayak and explore the lagoon or languish at her beautiful dock and watch eagle rays glide by at sunset. Thank you to Eileen and her very caring staff!

Inoubliable, épatant, outstanding!
Eileen est une magicienne, et une artiste accomplie à tous niveaux: architecture, décoration, peinture, tout en subtilités et en émotions.
Après deux semaines de séjour dans notre suite du Prince Tamatoa, au bord du lagon, nous avons jusqu'au dernier jour découvert dans l'hotel des petits recoins charmants, ici et là un objet d'art qui nous avait échappé, un autre angle sur une vue lumineuse. C'est comme si nous etions seuls dans l'hotel, et chez nous.
Eileen, tu es une fée, tu nous as offert un accueil mémorable et un séjour inoubliable!

Tout simplement magique.
Eileen nous a accueilli avec les bras grand ouverts, réglant toutes les questions que nous pouvions poser.
L'hôtel est splendide, les chambres exceptionnelles et le cadre somptueux. Je ne sais pas où nous aurions pu trouver mieux à Moorea.
L’accès direct au lagon, qui nous amène au Motu Tiahura par kayak en 15 minutes.
Un tour à ne pas manquer avec Robinson que Eileen nous a organisé : le tour du lagon ofrre un snorkeling avec les raies et les requins à pointe noire, les tortues tout cela dans un aquarium à ciel ouvert.
Et chance ultime : merci Eileen de nous avoir ouvert la suite sur le lagon que nous avons adoré les deux derniers jours avec nos enfants.
Nous garderons en mémoire ce moment privilégié chez toi, merci Eileen!

We stayed for 4 nights to kick off our 25th anniversary trip and this was the perfect spot in Moorea! Beautiful gardens and decor, with a long deck alongside the lagoon. Each room is super original, we stayed in one that was set back from the water but still had a private beach and garden area. Very quiet and peaceful. Kayaks, snorkel gear and SUPs are extra charge. We wished we had rented a car for Moorea. There's a well stocked store nearby on the main road. No problem booking through hotels.com.

This is SUCH AN AMAZING place to stay in Moorea. Eileen is such a sweetheart. She made us feel right at home as if we were truly HER personal guests. We were greeted right away with a drink and a Lei. Shown around, and really just cared about.
This is not a Glitzy Fashion Palace.... THIS is Real French Polynesian, with a rich glitzy service experience. Less than 1/2 the price of an OTW Bungalow with much more privacy.
The grounds are absolutely stunning and the over the water dock both pubic and the private dock for the Prestige Suite (Highly recommend this suite) is nothing short of fabulous.
I am excited to write this rave review because they deserve it.
From her willingness to help, to her ability to be available but not in your face it is a pleasure.

If you are looking for the best overall experience, all the while supporting this amazing family, then this is the place for you.
Kayaks to rent, flippers and snorkel gear (we had our own) and everyone on the island knows her so the vendors will always pick you up there and treat you special, as one of Eileen's Guests.
There is a market less than 5 minutes walk, 1 minute drive and restaurant (A GREAT ONE) 1/2 that distance away.
The location is perfect for Rudy's or Holy Steak House, and none of the adventures are more than 15-20 minutes away, most are about 5-10 minutes.
I could not recommend this place more highly -
Ken and Margaret
Maururu Eileen and company, forever in our hearts

If you want to snorkel on your own, this resort is ideal. You can rent a kayak directly from the front desk and take it out all day long, getting out anywhere you want in the shallow lagoon to snorkel. I recommend you bring your own snorkel equipment (which I always do when I travel). Use toothpaste to keep your mask defogged, and enjoy this great location! All of the snorkel tours come to the area of this hotel, so most people pay to snorkel there with a guide.|Also, yes, the island has a lot of mosquitos, and there are a lot of mosquitos at this resort. I use natural essential oil spray that works great and keep it in my purse literally everywhere I go. Do this, and you can keep the bites down to a minimum. As an alternative, most shops in Tahiti and Moorea carry their own natural mosquito repellant using a specific plant oil that the mosquitos hate. So if you don't bring your own I recommend buying it.||Also, this resort is close enough to food and a small market for supplies. Casa Vinzeno definitely has (by far) the best food in the area; make a reservation online the day before. Also, Holy Steak House is nearby, and it has a nice ambiance and food.||Lastly, I loved the beautiful and homey decor at this place. From the pond, to the plant canopies, to the outdoor kitchen, to the shared living area full of seating and lounge spots- it was all so great!

If you are looking for the closest thing to over the water bungalow without paying the premium price, this place is for you. Our room, Princess Lokelani, has its own private patio and outdoor eating area. The water is so clear and calm that you can see school of fishes without going into the lagoon. A lot of tour companies pick-up from this location. Staffs are very friendly. There is a small market about 15 minutes walking from the bungalow. You can see sun rise and sun set from the patio. Very peaceful and relaxing location. Bring insect repellant, even though the bedroom is fully enclosed, but the kitchen area has bamboo wall and plants. The privacy is there but, there is small gaps for mosquitos to get in. I will definitely stay there again.

Das Hotel hat "nur" 8 Zimmer und bietet Entspannung und Ruhe pur. Es liegt in einer romatisch angelegten Gartenanlage direkt am Meer. Der Sevice war super. Die Zimmer einwandfrei. Es gibt kein Restaurant im Hotel, aber man kann das Frühstück und auch thailändisches Mittag- oder Abendessen aufs Zimmer liefern lassen und es auf der Terrasse geniessen. Es gibt 2 Restaurants, die ihre Gäste im Hotel abholen und zurückbringen! Die Managerin Aileen hilft beim Buchen vom Mietauto und von Ausflügen. Den ganztägigen Schnorchel-Ausflug "Magic Day" (Seasafari) können wir sehr empfehlen! Es war toll!! Wir können es sehr weiter empfehlen! Danke für die wunderschönen Tage!

We found this tropical paradise by chance and have to admit that booking it for just one night in the presidential suit for my family of four was nothing short of magical and memorable. Upon our arrival, we were greeted warmly with garland and welcome cocktails and were shown the property which is strikingly beautiful and tastefully decorated. We felt at home away from home and watched sharks and string rays and variety of colorful fish swim by the deck .We enjoyed watching the sunset and captured some stunning pictures. The breakfast was fresh and delicious..We were booked in Sofitel for the following days and my children missed this enchanting property inspite of being in the beautiful overwater bungalow in Sofitel. We definitely would like to visit this property another time and stay for longer duration to really soak in it’s unfiltered beauty and mesmerizing environment. Ms. Eileen, the property owner has done a wonderful job decorating and making this place an absolute wonderland.

Amazing peace of heaven

Most beautiful place!! So we actually stayed at the Four Seasons Bora Bora which was beautiful but there is something so special and personal about this property….nothing compares! Definitely stay here plus you don’t have to pay for a tour to swim with sting rays and sharks you can just kayak there from the hotel.

This place is so unique! Upon checking in, they'll give you a fresh lei and a tour of the place and explain the rules and charges of the hotel. They charge for pretty much everything here, including the water equipment, but whatever. This place is so unique I loved just being there. There can be a bit of a language barrier problem, but when I was there, I only saw other Americans.| But you can't beat this location! If your suite isn't right on the water, it's at least VERY close to the water. My suite also had a little kitchenette which had a fridge, microwave, blender, toaster, coffeemaker, electric kettle, flatware, dishes, cutting board, and various glassware with a wine key! | This kitchenette was in a walkway connecting the bedroom to the bathroom which is DARK at night. Bring a flashlight or turn on the light because something ran across my feet when I tried to use the bathroom in the night.| This place is quite a ways away from the ferry dock (like the other side of the island) so be aware of that. But when I booked a snorkeling tour, they were able to drop us off right at our hotel dock.| Also, mosquitoes. There's nothing you can do but just accept that they're everywhere, small, and kinda invisible. Also in that walkway connecting the bedroom and the bathroom, there's ants that cover your feet as soon as you step onto the ground. There's several house cats that sometimes wander into your suite, but mine was my little buddy for the week, along with a crab on our deck and a bright green gecko. I was in the Princess Leilani suite.| The AC in our room worked great! The TV is app based, and there is a mini bar (for an additional charge) in addition to your mini fridge.| But you can't beat snorkeling off your back patio right as you wake up. But be aware of the strength of the current that day. Also my friend and I enjoyed sitting on that patio at night drinking wine watching the full moon over the water.| The tropical environment and decor makes this place so unique and special. There's a great steak restaurant and convenience store within walking distance. But location to the water and unique vibe would bring me back.

Outstanding exotic bed and breakfast featuring individual bungalows with Polynesian decor, private outdoor patio and access to lagoon. Choose choice of breakfast for the next morning and it is brought to your bungalow at the time of your choosing.

Une merveilleuse découverte pour un séjour inoubliable ! Cet endroit a une âme, on se sent bien et tout le monde est aux petits soins. La décoration atypique de ce lieu signée Eileen est un enchantement, tout est pensé dans le moindre détail. Cette artiste a mis son cœur et son âme dans la création de cet endroit magique, le mobilier, ses tableaux, la verdure qui nous enveloppe, tout y est ! Sans nul doute le plus bel hôtel de Moorea avec une vue sur le lagon et un lever de soleil à couper le souffle, des chambres qui sont de vrais cocons ! Matinée au milieu des jolies raies et soirée à observer les requins qui longent le ponton, c’était parfait.
Mauruuru roa pour cette parenthèse enchantée et à bientôt ????

Magique. Mille fois mieux qu'un hôtel de luxe, la prétention en moins.

Incroyable hôtel. Les chambres sont magnifiques et bien agencées. Les différents salons et le ponton qui donnent sur le lagon permettent de passer de bon moment. Très bons cocktails et service de massage. Bravo Eileen pour ce bel endroit!

Le lieu est superbe et très calme. Il est situé face au meilleur spot de snorkeling de Moorea ( requins et raies ). La suite avec sa terrasse et sa plage privée est sublime. Le Fenua mata ioa est sans nul doute incomparable aux grands hôtels de luxe il y’a le même confort mais avec seulement 7 suites on se sent seul au monde et l’accueil d’Eileen la propriétaire est extraordinaire ! Nous avons un seul mot en tête pour décrire notre séjour de 4 nuits : MAGIQUE
Encore un grand merci pour votre gentillesse et vos conseils. Anthony et Aude

J'ai connu beaucoup mieux à ce prix-là.

Beautiful small hotel. Lots of greenery and beautiful view of the lagoon. We had a very nice stay. Loved seeing all the animals around in including fish, sting rays, and geckos. There are 2 rooms with private decks and then a shared large deck for all in the hotel. There are several shared spaces that we didn’t use but were very nice. Hotel staff is very friendly and care about your experience. Room service every day was nice. Everything was very clean.
There is a good restaurant walking distance but that’s about it for walking distance. Watch the hours of the restaurants too as all restaurants around the island tend to close from about 2-5/6 so be careful you don’t get hungry during that time. There is a grocery store walking distance as well. Read the book for things to do! Hotel staff will book things for you such as cocobeach, any tours, or restaurants you want to go to. We loved this place.

This resort is amazing. Irene is a fantastic host. Breathtaking views. Relax and unwind in paradise.

Mon conjoint et moi avons vécu un séjour merveilleux dans ce lieu magique ! Un peu secret, caché... Cet endroit a une âme. Vous pouvez vous prélasser sur les transats du ponton en admirant les poissons ou en sirotant un cocktail ou encore découvrir les différents salons. Calme, le Fenua Mata'i'oa est idéal en couple. La chambre est belle, la literie est très bonne et petit plus pour la douche végétalisée que j'ai trouvé magnifique ! Il n'y a pas de restaurant mais possibilité de réserver un petit déjeuner et de nombreux (très bons) restaurants se trouvent à proximité. Il y a aussi de nombreuses activités proposées directement sur place. La gérante, Eileen, est disponible et passionnée par ce qu'elle fait. Je recommande vraiment !!
