Matathawa Island Hotels

"It’s beautiful being way out in the islands. Best part of NIR was the staff; they’re very much like a family and are always saying “bula” and asking how you are. The food has great flavor. The free stuff; kayaks and snorkels are great; just take yourself over to Blue Lagoon. Guided snorkel was amazing as well with Moses. I opted to rough it with no air con; would probably not do that again but it’s all and all a lovely place"

"Nabua Lodge This Lodge was the perfect fit for us in the quieter months If you are seeking a Fijian family run good value accommodation with tidy welcoming simple bures the Nabua Lodge would be ideal. The grounds are immaculate and the facilities well cared for. The big bonus was the quality of the meals. The fresh fish was exquisite and the mangoes pineapple and papaya outstanding and the home cooked meals overall were very good. The staff were attentive caring and very friendly Ideal for us we would happily come back."

"I’ve wanted to visit this place for a long time and finally made it. Although it was a bit of a dodgy start arriving late because of weather, we were met with a beautiful Fijian welcome. I will admit I was a tad disappointed originally being put in a tired bure (no 3) surrounded by renovation work, however we were moved the following day into a Deluxe Bure (no 10) which was amazing and much nearer to the beach and pool area. I loved the outdoor shower although it could do with extra toiletries here as the Shampoo etc are fixed indoors. I also enjoyed having a personal hammock and beach chairs that I could retire to with my book. Kadee and her team were absolutely delightful and we ended up having the most amazing 8 nights at this resort. Staff are so friendly and treat you like family. Thank you to Omi, Wati and Manasa (he is very respected being one of the founders) who were always so warm and friendly. The food options are limited, but it’s incredible 5* food and beautifully presented. I really enjoyed the relaxing vibe here except for the odd guest who unfortunately spoiled it by having loud video calls and playing annoying tik toks in public. Although there is a small note at the bottom of the menu, this is not easily visible so a polite verbal mention during the arrival transfer may be a better option to keep noise at bay We also had the same music all week which all the guests noticed and found rather funny so a few more CDs would be good "

"Amazing property and service. Food was absolutely amazing to and the property is soo beautiful. "

"We have a great stay at the Coconut Beach Resort. The staff were very friendly with outstanding customer service. The snorkeling was great, daily yoga set the tone for the day and the rooms were comfortable and very clean."

"Such a friendly, laid back vibe in a beautiful setting! It had an incredibly warm social environment that was the product of a strong vision and a great team on staff to foster that kind of spirit. Impeccably well-organized operation at check-in, check-out and meal-times. Beautiful beaches, reefs and hill top views. Wonderful dive center with kind staff giving great marine biology talks and tours in addition to snorkel and scuba trips. Great meals. Such an easy place to make to new friends, but also easy to find quiet solo time at. Just the best--would absolutely stay here again."

"Perfect sized family resort with luxury touches. We are already dreaming of returning. We’ve stayed in tons of properties around the world and this one is a gem. The staff were so nice to our children and we even got some adult time while the kids were in the awesome kids club. Everyone had a wonderful time and the food was also very good, especially the lunch curry specials. "

"Absolutely amazing homestay! The hospitality was fabulous, with generous and delicious portions and the family was so welcoming. The views and ocean were absolutely stunning and the hike was incredible with some truly beautiful scenery. The kids were lovely to spend time with, so well-mannered and a joy to get to know. The accommodation is simple and basic, but very comfortable and excellent value for money. Overall, such a special and memorable experience. Highly recommend!"

"Amazing amenities and rooms in a lovely location, great spa/massages. One of the best restaurants on the Yasawa islands. The only thing I would criticize is the lack of a clean water tank to refill reusable bottles. I don't want to buy plastic bottles on a small island and add to the pollution of the world."
