We loved staying here! The hotel is beautifully decorated with lots of original art and plants. We had a generously sized outdoor area, and a nice roomy shower. The shared spaces are comfortable and plentiful in case you want to socialize with other guests. I would recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a unique experience. The gardens are amazing.

They charge you $30 if you get earlier than check in time, just to be on the common areas that are empty. I have never seen this anywhere in the world. They only serve breakfast and there are no restaurants close by.

The property is stunning. The foliage and decor is unlike any place I’ve ever stayed. Each room is meticulously decorated with a private entrance. Very quiet and relaxing. Kayaks available to take advantage of calm waters with stingrays and eagle rays. Location was wonderful as you can kayak to coco beach which is must do. Our welcome drink was serious and beautiful. Wish we could’ve stayed longer

The perfect place if you're looking for peace and quiet, the sunbeds overlooking the ocean are unmatched. There's a local shop which has lots to offer for breakfast/lunch options and/or light teas. There's a couple of restaurants within a 10 minutes walk. Otherwise, a 30 minutes walk into town is needed, there's no pavement or streetlights but if you have a torch it will be fine (we did this numerous times and felt safe).

Waterfront manta rays

We stayed at the Princess Lokelani room. It was steps from the water. We saw a manta ray there and lots of fish. (Note that there is no actual beach as the whole island is enclosed by a coral reef). The hotel is very unique and has a stellar breakfast that they bring to your room. We loved the common area, it's very distinctive and comfortable. We borrowed canoes and found the manta and shark area ~10 mins away. There are boats and tours that travel from all over the island just to go there. The hotel is close to solid restaurants and has parking. Main drawback is mosquitos given the room is surround by greenery - come prepared.

What is unique about this hotel? It is not a party hotel. It is maybe one of the most beautiful and relaxing hotels I have ever stayed at. I am 70 and travel a lot and spend time in beautiful hotels in beautiful areas. The Fenua Mata'i'oa hotel tops my list. We stayed in the Garden Romantic Suite. A large place. There was a nice outside shaded place to have breakfast with kitchen exposed to the ambient environment, complete with a cat if you allowed it. The bedroom was large and very comfortable and air conditioned. I slept 8-9 hrs a night. The bathroom and tub were in a Shangr-La environment. We had our own beach area with several outdoor outdoor areas to sit and enjoy nature. Our room and every inch of the entire communal area have been immaculately and pain-stakenly decorated over 25 years. Everywhere you look you can't help but to be transfixed with the thoughtful cohesive beauty bestowed by the owner-designer. You may think I am getting carried away and over romanticizing the property but my girl friend felt exactly the same way. I was so nice to have a private dock where you can be picked up for an excursion or just to snorkel on your own or just have a drink and watch the spectacular sunsets. If you want a romantic place for inspiration, I can't think of a better place. Also, everything worked in our room and we only wished we had stayed a week instead of a few days.

Perfection in Paradise

Absolutely stunning. It is rare to find a place that is better than the pictures, but this is! Friendly, helpful staff throughout our stay. The grounds and view of the ocean are beyond words. Breakfast brought to your room including fresh tropical fruit selection is a perfect way to start the day. The steady rhythm of the waves on the edge of the barrier reef lulls you to sleep. Several species of fish congregate right next to the dock in crystal clear water.
