I had a fantastic stay at the Scenic Matavai, where the beautiful location made my visit memorable. The views from my room were stunning, and the cleanliness was impressive. While the food could be improved, and the presence of roosters was a bit disruptive, the overall experience was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend having a car to explore the island more comfortably.

We had an incredible stay at the resort, enjoying stunning views of the ocean and even glimpsing whales while relaxing on our balcony. The room was spacious and very comfortable, offering a wonderful atmosphere for unwinding. The service was attentive and warm, making us feel at home. While breakfast was tasty, we wished for a bit more variety, especially in fresh fruit. The pools were great but could benefit from better maintenance. Overall, a memorable experience with some room for improvement!

We recently had a lovely stay at the resort, enjoying breathtaking views from our superior cliff top room. The facilities were great, especially the pools and pool bar. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, as the food quality was below expectations and the service was a bit rushed. Overall, I'd consider coming back, but hope for improvements in the restaurant area.

I had a wonderful week at the resort! The rooms were spacious and stunning, especially with the view of the ocean where I even spotted dolphins. The included continental breakfast made mornings easy, but the dining options for dinner could use improvement with limited choices. Overall, I appreciated the beautiful beach access and the chance to explore the nearby reef, but I wouldn’t recommend relying too heavily on the restaurant for dinner.
