Scenic Matavai Resort Niue

Service was beyond exceptional and this was especially so with Kini and Sala and Shedo. I will be really sad to say Good Bye to these two exceptional ladies. The resort was so lovely and provided great service and local knowledge. I'll be back

Great service from staff. Great rooms. All willing to help!! Must get in the water!! Very clear water. Experience as much as you can while you are here! Sala was our server. She was very kind and always wanting to help. Thanks for our timer here!

Escaped reality for a week to enjoy an active adventure in Niue. The hotel management (James) and staff (Tina, Jick) were incredibly helpful and informative. No major issues with wifi (on occasions minor buffering from the room) - wasn’t there to watch TV (wasn’t working) nor to be on my device watching Netflix etc. Food was great, everything I needed and the chief was open to the handful of changes requested. Room had everything and more than I expected - amazing view. Appreciated the air-con in the room.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Niue and our stay at the Scenic Matavai Resort, and would highly recommend the hotel to anyone staying on the island. James, the general manager, was an excellent "face of the Matavai". He went above and beyond his job role and worked hard doing everything from airport pick ups, front desk information, maintenance call outs and delivering pizza at the pool party! He and the assistant manager (sorry didn't get his name) were always a friendly face which was very much appreciated during our stay. The welcome meeting was an excellent touch, especially for newbies to Niue like us. The two ladies who manned reception during that week were also lovely, and couldn't do more for the guests. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was amazing (and very needed!) The WiFi or television did not work in our rooms (or any...) We did not travel to Niue to sit on devices so this didn't bother us, however it is advertised and we heard some other guests complaining so just be aware! The WiFi in reception was good. We ate at the hotel twice for dinner, and both meals (a la carte and the pool party BBQ) were very good quality. The chef (Kyle?) was lovely and worked his socks off during our time there. The breakfast buffet was okay however my only real complaint about the whole stay was the cleanliness of the buffet area. Staff were not very attentive to spillages and so, there were lots of flies. There were two fly fans however one was broken for the whole week and one on its own didn't do a great job of keeping them off the fresh fruit/yoghurt etc. Hopefully this is something that will be considered during the upcoming renovations of the dining area. We found out on the second to last day that all the cooked options on the menu were included in ou room rate, so be sure to ask this when you arrive to avoid disappointment. I think the time of year we visited (New Years) impacted our stay and this is something to note for other travellers. Lots of local staff had time off during this period so the ones that were working were busy and (most likely!) tired. A lot of the island also shuts down so do your research of what restaurants/activities are open. Niue itself was an absolute gem; quirky but loveable! The "small place" feel had never been so real and we enjoyed bumping into lots of the same people around the island, really giving it a community feel. We would thoughly recommend a visit to Niue and the Matavai to friends, as long as they knew what to expect from such a small, off-the-grid, piece of paradise!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Scenic Matavai apartments. They were well set up with a really comfortable bed and serviced daily. The meet and greet session on our first day was really informative and helpful and all the staff were really friendly. Highly recommend the Niue Orientation Tour and Explore Niue fishing charter with BJ. One of our highlights was catching a yellowfin tuna with BJ and then the chefs at Scenic Matavai resort cooking it three ways for us to enjoy. The food and cocktails at the Dolphin restaurant were fantastic. Highly recommend staying at Scenic Matavai and I hope we can visit again!

We just had a fabulous 7 day stay at the Matavai resort. Facilities were great, nice and clean with a great breakfast included in the rate. The staff were so friendly and helpful and Shadow even found my missing glasses which they returned to me. Will definitely return in the near future. Thank you all for making our stay so fantastic.
