総合評価とレビュー Matava - Fiji...Untouched

自然が身近に感じられるナチュラルリゾート。それなりの値段ではありますが。特にハネムーンブレに泊まったので、プライベート感がありました。海で泳ぎ、ブレのバルコニーで日光浴、というのは最高の贅沢ですよね。

Matava really feels like Fiji untouched: A nature jewel in midst of the jungle, no streets, no shops, only yourself, good company with similar guests staying in max. 10 huts, the sun and the sea - a dream for scuba divers and snorkelers alike. Take a breath and unwind. Please note Matava is NOT suitable for the common main stream tourist looking for the usual entertainment provided by big resorts.

A beautiful setting on the water far away from almost everything. Comfortable but not fancy. Food is tasty but not gourmet. Didn't stay long enough

We stayed there for two weeks. It was amazing. We had not relaxed that much in a long time. Away from noise. Away from people. Away from civilization. Away from craziness. Away from internet world. Away from busy world. True meaning of "Getaway" here. Facility was nicely done. It was like a small village. Having our own bure with ocean view patio was very very nice. We felt much of privacy, safe and comfortable. All the amenity was functioning well and we did had any problem whole time we stayed there. Staff was very very friendly but caring and professional. Food was excellent! Snorkel and diving was super. Walking in the jungle was very special. This place is not for the party people. But for the people who loves nature and truly deserve to relax, and enjoy Fiji. A truly special place. I would definitely love to go back there.

My brother and I decided to stay here because we wanted to snorkel the Great Astrolabe Reef. Overall, this place was comfortable, clean, in a great location, with very friendly staff. The journey here is a 45 minute boat ride, the only way to get to the resort, through beautiful coral reef clusters. Make sure to wear your sunscreen, tie down your hat, and long sleeves before you take off, as the boat is not covered. At the resort, you will do all of the activities together with the other residents, such as diving, eating meals, etc ... Electricity in the room worked during the hours they told us it would be available. However, down at the main burre, there is a 24 hour charging station where you charge any device at any time. The resort has a beautiful coral reef in front of it, that you can snorkel at any time. They also offer kayaks, snorkeling equipment, and a local map to hike to the local village with a waterfall. My recommendation for this resort is to stay here for as long as you can here, because if you have a long list of activities you would like to do, you most likely wont be able to complete them all. The staff needs some time to prepare for the activities that are separate from the usual daily morning dives, such as snorkeling at night. I dont think this is unusual for any resort in Fiji in general, but its best to go in knowing you wont be able to do everything. The culture is just slow and therefore you need time.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in - avoid it like the plague. The roof in my room leaked resulting in a pool of water on the floor whenever it rained. The windows did not fit properly and did not close, which together with the gaps between the tops of the walls and the roof resulted in constant wind noise and drafts. I have never seen such a shoddily built room. There is nothing authentic about it. I stayed in four other hotels during this trip to Fiji, all of which were considerably cheaper than Matava and infinitely better quality, so this is in no way typical of Fiji. The transfer from the airport was in a small open boat which I nicknamed "Spinebuster". I was sat on a hard wooden bench, and whilst the sea was relatively calm, was bumped and bounced the whole journey. There was also considerable spray from the sea, although full so'westers were provided to deal with this. The purpose of my holiday to Kadavu was to dive the Astrolobe Reef. Whilst several of the staff at Matava wear shirts encouraging you to dive the Astrolobe Reef I was unable to do so even once in my week's stay. Whilst Matava has two custom dive boats, one was out of action with electrical problems the whole of my stay and the second was often unavailable. "Spinebuster" was offered as an alternative, but after one dive on it where I came back almost hypothermic due to the windchill and sea spray I refused to dive from it again (and I dive in Scotland in winter). Poor dive sites were offered.

The resort lived up to expectations though expensive. Staff excellent and helpful. Owner only seemed interested in certain visitors not speaking to our group- even when a member of the group was very sick.

Enjoyed every minute, sad to leave. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Would definitely return.

Great place to stay, amazing staff and very involved owners. The rooms are basic, but comfortable. The location is amazing. The food was great and there was ample to go around! If you want an inclusive place to stay this is it. You all dine together and the staff drink Kava and play cards with you in the evenings. The activities are well organised too. I would definitely recommend this place.

Loved the getaway factor. The fijian people looking after you were so kind and pleasant. You have to be able to and want to socialise as all meals are together. Might not suit everyone. Fantastic place to learn to scuba dive.

Небольшой отель с домашней атмосферой. Очень располагает для занятия дайвингом и снорклингом. Питание достойное, но не восхитительное. Напитки за отдельную плату.

Dette var bra! Anbefaler alle som vil oppleve det ekte Fiji og slappe av. Trenger ikke å dykke selvom det var fantastisk!

Nicht für Leute die ein Komfort suchen. Aber wenn jemand in Natur ein schönes und still komfortables Platz sucht, dann es ist ein Optimales Kompromiss.

For an Eco Lodge and what it provided the rates were very expensive... too much! Food was Ok but lots of Carbs with minimal fresh fuit and vegies... relied on deep sea fishing clients to catch fish that were kept by the resort and fed to the staff and guests. lovely aquatic environment, friendly staff but resort lacking in quality for what they charge.

A fantastic resort! All the staff are there to please. Food was brilliant. Plenty of great activities to do and the staff are happy to tailor a plan to suit your needs.

Ein wunderbarer Ort zum Tauchen und Ruhe finden. Eine sehr schöne Anlage, umwerfend freundliches Personal, herausragendes Essen, optimale Lage. Kurz und knapp: selten fühlten wir uns so wohl wie an diesem Ort.

If you are looking for a true Fiji island experience, living simply, getting away from it all, resting and enjoying nature - this is it! Explore the forest, visit the village, meet the locals as you get lost in the bush, slow down and experience the genuine hospitality and care of these wonderful people who work at Matava. Maggie was a star providing entertainment mixed with great island knowledge. The food was great- no choice but that makes it easier in a way, the fish caught only hours ago. It's a divers and snorkelers paradise. If you need luxury and western style comfort this is not the place for you. If you want to get away from it all and enjoy the simplicity of nature and people with open hearts then you will have a fantastic time- as we did. Leaving it felt we were saying goodbye to family.

This is a remote eco hotel. It is basic in amenity but that which is provided is of the highest order considering its location.Simplicity with excellence would be its trademark. Such hotels tend to attract a certain type of person . People who just want to chill in perfect peace, those devoted to scuba diving or fishing or snorkelling. Others who just want to walk and explore in the surrounding countryside and villages. All who come seem to delight in each others company and tales of their days experiences at the communal dining tables where the conversation is enlightening and stimulating. What a special place this is!

Leave your high heels at home, this resort is not for whimps. Matava is for adventure lovers, open-minded and green travelers. Matava has a great atmosphere, most friendly and welcoming staff we've ever seen, high quality food, amazing dives, great location, environmentally sound hotel, very quiet and peaceful environment, opportunity to do activities such as walking, birdwatching, diving, fishing, etc. We had the chance to learn more about local culture, food and traditions. We've visited the neighbouring village and meet the children from the local school. We were greated with songs and smiles. We highly recommend to walk with a guide to the village and waterfall since the trail was quite treacherous, but fun. The SCUBA diving was amazing and Te, the dive master, was knowledgeable and made new divers feel safe. Maggie, George, Ta and all the others were always available to answer our questions and make us feel at home, Sala made great massages and the chef made healthy and tasty food from their organic garden. Overall it was more than what we've expected.

We were looking for a quiet, relaxing week somewhere warm and Matava was perfect. Flight to Kadavu and boat trip to the resort a great start. Remote location, no traffic, few guests, delightful staff, good food. Bures very private with outlook over the sea to the island and reef beyond. Interesting walks through the jungle or along the beach. Good bird watching, kayaking, snorkeling. Other guests who were there for the diving seemed very satisfied. We were disappointed not to have the chance to go fishing as there were boat engine problems. Simple entertainment, reading, scrabble, Jenga, talking. There were birthday and wedding celebrations during our stay and the staff were brilliant. We visited the local village, experienced a kava ceremony, and generally felt we were seeing something of old Fiji in an unspoiled setting.
