Mantaray Island Resort

All in all we had a great stay, it’s a great resort and a slightly cheaper alternative to the other hotels on the islands around. The pizza and reef are amazing. Still, the resort is quite stretched, especially to go to the toilets from the tree houses is too far and all in all just not as well equipped (e.g. missing aircon) as other resorts. Its probably more suitable for younger travelers who also look for evening programms.

總體很可以，性價比高，儘管16人間，但很整潔，住客也素質高，都是來自發達國家的年輕人，餐食一般，選擇不多，價位不低，而上午出發的manta卻衹看到一衹，有些失望，畢竟如今是manta season

1–9 May 2025 | 54YO M, 49YO F, Open Water SSI 7th Yasawas Trip – First Time at Mantaray Island Resort We’ve visited the Yasawas several times, but this was our first stay at Mantaray Island Resort—and it won’t be our last! From start to finish, everything was well-organised and ran smoothly. The staff were warm, friendly, and incredibly efficient, and the resort itself was tidy and well maintained. Our Beachfront Villa was a highlight—modern, clean, and spacious, with air conditioning (a big plus in the tropics) and a fantastic shower. Housekeeping was attentive and friendly throughout our stay. We also had a peek at the new villas currently being finished—they look stunning and could definitely tempt us back if the pricing is right. The food at Mantaray was a standout—easily the best we’ve had in the Yasawas to date. While not cheap, it was worth every dollar. The à la carte menu offered plenty of mouthwatering choices, and it was often hard to decide between the many delicious options. Presentation and quality were consistently excellent. The walk up to the restaurant is manageable for most but might be a challenge for those with mobility issues. As divers, we were especially impressed by the dive operation. The dive shop is professionally run, with top-quality equipment and a wide selection of 40 dive sites. Despite some windy weather, the team always found safe and scenic spots. We completed 11 dives—and each was unique. The underwater landscapes were spectacular, with vibrant coral gardens, dramatic swim-throughs, and regular turtle sightings. Special mention to Wise, an outstanding dive instructor and guide—knowledgeable, approachable, and a great judge of skill and comfort levels. Tivita kept the logistics running smoothly with good humour and efficiency. All in all, Mantaray Island Resort exceeded our expectations. It’s a well-rounded, beautifully run resort with excellent diving, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere. We’re already thinking about returning—possibly even later this year if we can snag a good deal!
