Fantastic
452 reviewsThis was our second trip to Foa Island. The first trip was in 2019 and we stayed at the sister Resort, Sandy Beach. We loved it so much we wanted to take our family next time and decided on Matafonua as it is a little more relaxed and family friendly. The staff are all amazing and couldn't be more helpful if they tried. The food is fantastic and it is great to be able to be able to buy food any time you want after breakfast from 10.00am through to dinner time. The fales are basic but very clean and comfortable. The shared shower/toilet facilities are really clean and the showers lovely. They have good wifi but only in the communal dining area so be prepared for a little internet downtime at your fale. A good thing really. Highlights: the snorkling (outside your fale door) and of course the whale trips. Over 7 days of snorkling I saw something new every time I went in the water. The managers, Nina and Darren, and their staff are also highlights. Nina and Darren are widely travelled and so interesting to listen to. The staff go out of their way to be accommodating and are simply delightful. The young whale trip staff come from around the world and are passionate about what they do. Peta works in the office at Sandy Beach and she is a total gem if you need help with anything also. Lows: no tea/coffee facilities in your room (Sandy Beach has this facility). I'm in my 60's and love a cuppa in bed before getting up. I took a good thermos, cups and Latte sachets. The kitchen girls were good enough to fill my thermos at the end of dinner each night so problem solved. Not a low then really! Domestic Airline, Lulutai, is quirky in that it is totally unreliable. Our flight leaving Ha'apai was scheduled for 1020am. It was delayed more than 2 hours due to 'pilot fatigue' (they don't fly ovenight!?). So unlike me take the resorts recommendation to overnight in Tongatapu there and back. We did make our connection but only just and only thanks to Nina and Peta helping out communicating with airport shuttle and AirNZ for us. Seriously not worth the stress.
