Mataiva Hotels

"The "cabins" are very crude. They don't have AC and are very dated. Having said that, it cooled off nicely in the cabin. There are gaps below door and around windows. If you are prepared for crude then it will be a good stay. You are right by the ocean and very quiet. There are bikes, kayaks and standing boards available for use. The meals were very good too. It was a good experience. Just don't expect fancy at all. "

"We were so fortunate to spend our honeymoon at Ninamu — it truly felt like paradise. With only 10 bungalows on the entire island, the resort feels like you have rented a private island! Chris, the owner, is amazing. He personally purchased the island and built the resort by hand. His passion is visible everywhere, from the beautifully designed spaces to the coral-covered walls that add unique character. Heava, our waitress and bartender, made our stay extra special with her kindness and welcoming spirit. Chef cooked us some of the most incredible meals — we ate fresh-caught fish twice a day and have never felt better while traveling! The lagoon surrounding the island is stunning—crystal clear and with vibrant fish and blacktip reef sharks. Snorkeling here felt like exploring a private aquarium!"
