James Shilton has recently been appointed as Scenic Matavai Resort Niue’s General Manager.

He was previously with the Mangrove Resort Hotel in Australia. Scenic Hotel Group’s GM, Hotel Operations Melissa Alexander said Shilton brings a wealth of experience, a focus on sustainability and that the team is thrilled to have James join the Scenic family. “As part of our ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality experience, James starts his role as we are embarking on a comprehensive refurbishment programme to elevate key areas of the resort to a 4.5-star specification,” she said.

The programme includes upgrading 20 Superior Rooms with modern amenities and contemporary décor. “We are redesigning the bar, reception, restaurant, retail space, and main entry to create a welcoming and contemporary atmosphere for all our guests,” Alexander said. To last approximately three months, from 13 January to 31 March 2025, the room refurbishment would be staggered to help ensure minimal disruption to holidaymakers and overall room availability.

During the latter half of the refurbishment period, the resort’s public areas would see extensive changes – the management would be overseeing alternative check-in and dining arrangements, between February-March 2025. “Our team is working hard to minimise the impact on guests with works taking place between 9:00am and 4:30pm daily to ensure peaceful mornings and evenings.” Check out our other blogs on South Pacific travel industry updates, our page on the Scenic Matavai Resort Niue, and keep us bookmarked!
