Delicious Culinary Journey

The food at Matangi was absolutely fantastic! Every meal was a culinary delight, especially the luxurious 3 courses for lunch and dinner. Each day brought a different menu filled with fresh, delicious options. I still dream about the warm rolls with butter served at meals!

Dreamy Treehouse Experience

I stayed in a beautiful treehouse that felt like my own private oasis. The spacious rooms came with a romantic tub for two and provided stunning elevated views of the island. I enjoyed reading on the hammock outside, soaking in the very nice sunsets.

Our stay at Matangi Resort was nothing short of magical! The atmosphere was incredibly serene, and I can't rave enough about the staff who treated us like family from the moment we arrived. The snorkeling was absolutely stunning, especially with the vibrant coral reefs and interesting marine life. However, the accessibility to some snorkeling spots was a bit tricky because of the tides. All in all, the experience was worth every penny, and I can't wait to return!

Our stay at the resort was a mixed bag. While the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel like family from the moment we arrived, the dining experience and attention to detail in our room left something to be desired. The diving facilities are great with fantastic reefs but could benefit from better protection measures. Overall, the resort offers a beautiful setting, but it does come at a high price for the overall value received.
