My daughter & I spent 4 delightful nights here after a cruise. The staff was wonderful & helpful. We were greeted with a lei & delicious welcome drink.The property was amazing & one of the most beautiful locations I have ever experienced. We had an amazing suite with our private dock. It was so unique & even came with a couple of cats that we loved! We sat outside in the evenings & watched all different kinds of fish swim by. Was very cool. I would love to return some day although it is half way around the world!

We greatly appreciated the friendliness of the staff and how they promptly answered and/or addressed questions and concerns. We were able to see many different types of fish, eels, stingrays, black finned sharks etc. right from the deck of our accommodations. The ambiance was beautiful and tropical. This was a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Thank you

Hotel Fenua is beyond beautiful. Our room we originally booked was unfortunately unavailable, but we were upgraded to the presidential suite at no extra charge. The staff was happy to book excursions for us, and provide us with options for other activities around Moorea. The property is on the lagoon and we were fortunate enough to see stingrays and sharks from the wraparound deck. Some friendly cats to keep you company. Would recommend, especially if you're looking for a unique stay with a French Polynesian atmosphere.

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

It’s a simply beautiful property that is one of a kind. The overwater suite is fantastic as it’s on the water so you just hop out to snorkel right off the front door. It’s a small, intimate property that is surely unlike the nearby more expensive resorts.

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.

Hotel Fenua Mata’i’oa was perfection. The decor was incredibly artistic, original and welcoming. It definitely gave the feeling a true hidden garden oasis. Our bungalow was extremely comfortable and was also incredibly beautiful and well-appointed. All the common areas to relax (and there are very many) were comfortable and well-designed. We learned that the owner is a designer by trade and her passion for it really shows through every small detail. The lagoon is easily accessible as the dock is on the property so swimming and kayaking etc are all on site in the gorgeous teal water. The owner Eileen and all staff were extremely kind, attentive and genuine. You can tell it’s a very happy place to be. We also enjoyed visits from the well cared for resident kitties. Will book at the lodge exclusively when returning to M’oorea as it far exceeded all expectations. It was our favorite stay within French Polynesia!

A Stunning Boutique Hotel // Highly Recommend
Hôtel Fenua Mata'i'oa is one of the most beautiful boutique hotels I have ever stayed in. The rooms are large and clean with all amenities needed. The outdoor kitchen area with the fridge and kettle for making coffee and storing leftovers or drinks was so wonderful. The community space was gorgeous and was spread out so it felt both community based and private. Eileen was wonderfully helpful and helped us book all our activities from swimming with the whales to massages. I can't recommend highly enough!

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 Location and Friendly People
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.
