Matamanoa Island Holidays from NZ$1,215

Enjoyed the Saturday night entertainment and the friendly bar, lovely staff. Large bure, spacious.

Great location So friendly

Very attentive and personalised

Reception, food and beverage staff and activities staff were very nice and always accommodating. Housekeeping was a bit hit and miss and hotel needed reminding to replenish water bottles, coffees and towels. Plenty of interesting and fun activities for all ages.

The good: - Friendly and welcoming staff. - Great views around the property and accessibility to the ocean. - Kids club and many activities for them. - Swimming pool and bar. - Well equipped gym. The bad: - The room needed a makeover. It was antiquated and there wasn't enough lighting, needed new fixtures. - The wifi coverage was extremely poor and was barely available in certain areas around the resort. - Drinking water bottles weren't provided and had to be purchased or filled from the bar. - The staff were overworked and the fatigue was visible in their service. - The buffet food options were repetitive, bland and underwhelming at times. - There weren't many options for indoor/ outdoor games for adults. - At one point it seemed that the resort wasn't prepared or well equipped to accommodate or facilitate a high footfall of guests. - The coral and sunset cruises were disappointing.
