Chez Eileen on se sent bien, son établissement est à son image, atypique et original, des coins et des recoins admirablement meublés et décorés pour se poser et profiter d'un bon coktail. On a adoré et aimé ce côté intimiste et privilégié. Une spéciale dédicace pour Bella que je recommande sans hésitation pour un soin où un massage, elle est magique, vous sortez en lévitation 🤩 Hyper bien placé sur l'île et le lagon, prêt de la supérette et d'un bon resto. Helene et les 3 autres.

    “Simply an extraordinary hotel. A rustic and elegant experience inside a serene garden beautifully located by the lagoon. The staff and the owner are wonderful, with attention to detail in every part. Very comfortable beds, and rooms equipped with everything needed. There is a well-stocked minimarket in the neighborhood, and there are restaurants for both lunch and dinner within walking distance, and many more around the north of the island that offer transfers either for free or for an affordable rate. While we would recommend renting a car or motorbike, it’s not crucial to stay here. Thank you Eileen and all the staff for a magical week.”

  • A hidden gem we would definitely return to!

    “Hidden gem! What an adorable little boutique hotel. We only got to stay one night, but wished we had booked more. The lush tropical atmosphere of the hotel itself takes you to a world apart. The lounge seating on the water was quiet, with gorgeous views of the ocean, the sunset and the tropical fish swimming at our feet. The room was comfortable and clean. We especially liked the local products (shampoos, oils, etc.) offered in the bathroom. Breakfast was served to our room in the morning and local restaurants were suggested for our dinner. Great stay!”

  • Une pépite au charme unique et inimitable

    “Une véritable pépite à Moorea. Le Fenua Mata’i’oa est un hôtel exceptionnel, avec une décoration végétale absolument unique, de la réception jusqu’aux chambres. Chaque espace a une âme et un charme fou. La propriétaire est adorable et se met véritablement en quatre pour ses clients. Nous avions une chambre avec jardin privatif et accès direct à notre petite plage privée : juste waouh. Mention spéciale également pour la vue depuis le bar, notamment la nuit, où l’on peut observer la faune marine juste en dessous : raies, requins… un spectacle incroyable. Un lieu comme on en voit très peu, loin des hôtels standardisés, avec une identité, une atmosphère et un charme vraiment inimitables. Une adresse exceptionnelle que nous n’oublierons pas.”

  • Un hotel exceptionnel pour les amoureux de nature et de tranquillité.
