Beautiful location! Incredible staff.

10/10 Exceptional

Great for snorkeling, laid back vibe

Great coral and fish in front of the hotel, mantas are close by and amazing, resort is nice- more on the rustic side vs fancy, but we liked that. Overall a nice experience!
Erika, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay.

This resort mostly caters to the under 35 group. We had a bungalow in a quiet area away from the dorms, right on the beach. You could snorkel from your room or take a short boat trip to snorkel other areas and see manta rays. Meals are in addition to the room cost-set fee per person per day. The food was really good and the chef made us an anniversary cake that was divine.

The resort is fantastic if you are looking for a quiet on the beach stay. If you want luxurious accommodations this is not the place but it is very nice and comfortable for us. Walked out the front door to the ocean and reef snorkeling right there. Awesome.

This was such a lovely relaxed but well presented resort. The coral reef snorkling is fanrastic from the beach. The staff were lovely the food was Its a perfect 3 star resort, would highly reccomend for a low key relaxed holiday.

We travelled with two teenage boys. We all had a great time. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Staff were greeting each of our family members from the first day. Diving was great. Snorkling from the beach in front of the resort was amazing. Nice coral full of life. Food was good as well. We had a beach villa. It was excellent and close to the main area of the resort.

A must if you’re island hopping through the Yasawa

Best coral reefs I’ve seen. The service was decent, everyone was very kind and hospitable. Some times you have be a little persistent if there’s a certain activity you want to do, mostly due to staffing issues I think. I think a good way to fix this is to have the front office get if WhatsApp to communicate with guests better. Food was mediocre to good. The only fish they served was Waloo which can be harsh on the digestive tract for some people.
You can substitute pizza for lunch or dinner.

Villa bathrooms were really cool

A bit rustic but a charming island resort retreat. Food was great; reef Bure was right there a few steps from the ocean. Very welcoming.

Welcome home- this resort was the highlight of my summer! Offers beautiful ocean-front stays, a lovely walkable beach, and easy access to snorkeling and diving. Food is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. Wish I could visit every month!

Mantra Ray Island resort was everything we could have asked for. There were always activities on offer, but you could also just lay in a hammock for hours. The snorkelling just steps from our bure was amazing, the best I’ve ever experienced. The staff were so friendly and kind.

Absolutely brilliant. The view from the reef bure down to the ocean is amazing and you are just a few steps away from being in the water from your bed. The staff are lovely and prompt to answer your requests. The activities are varied and all done to a very high standard - all in all a great stay.

Stayed right on the beach. They didn’t have water the day before we arrived so they were working hard on it while there and got it going. Owner was easy to talk with. Snorkeling was amazing, rained lots but had lots of fun!

8/10 Very good

The property was clean and well maintained. The staff were excellent and very eager to please. We hired snorkelling gear from the dive hut and found it to be below standard. The purge valve was clogged with sand and the clasp in my mask was absent. Otherwise, everything was great!
Irma, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I liked that we had a direct view of the beach/ocean from our room. Pictures on the website needs to be updated. The food was not that great.
Miquel, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Meal times are very chaotic. Waited over am hour for my breakfast (I was the very last person served food despite getting to breakfast at a reasonable time) and almost missed the boat for my morning tour as a result. Very few amenities/ activities. Glad we only stayed one night as not a lot to do at the resort.
Zara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I cannot say enough good things about my time at this resort. It definitely exceeded all of my expectations. The location is beautiful, the meals were good, the room (beachfront villa) was amazing and the staff were wonderful. The ONLY word of advice I have is to make sure you bring a few between meal snacks with you. There are no options to grab a little something to snack on after hours of snorkeling…. IF you are actually willing to get out of the water. I had tears when it came time to leave. There is no question about going back. All ready planning my next trip.
Tina, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had an amazing week at Manta Ray Island Resort. The best thing about my experience was the Fijian people and Sunny. The Fijians who work there are some of the kindest, happy and most genuine humans I’ve met. My room was very comfortable. There was so many things to do there. If I wasn’t snorkeling I was walking on the beach, paddling on a stand up, fishing from the beach or offshore. The waters off the beach were incredible with sea life. I got dive certified there, and I highly recommend all the individuals as instructors and or dive buddies, especially Wise. I am looking forward to returning soon. My only constructive criticism is that I think the proteins tended to be overcooked…fish, chicken and beef. Otherwise, the food was good. Also, I think the resort should make all visitors aware before their trip that the resort doesn’t take any currency other than Fiji dollars. The paddleboards need some fins. I highly recommend this resort.
Daniel, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you've done your homework and you know what to expect when you arrive, this place is excellent for a few days away. The staff are so friendly and helpful - they get to know you by name almost immediately. For a place with dozens of people coming and going every week, that's a really nice touch, so thank you Rosa, Mika, Ropate, Taveki, Save, and so many more. We stayed in the beachfront villa so I can't speak to the quality of other accommodations, but we were happy with the room. The shower was open to the sky but we didn't have problems with bugs in the room or anything. Just keep the door closed most of the time. Being able to sit in a beach hammock and watch the sunrise was fantastic. The main guest lounge near the beach has drinks and snacks, along with easy access to the dive shop, activity bure, and plenty of places to relax. The quality of the meals was one of our favourite things of all, and we always left the dining area feeling satisfied. Some things to note (not bad things, just good to know): - not all drinks are included with the meal plan. Water is drinkable around the resort and morning coffee/juice up in the dining area is free, but everything else ranges from $6.50-$25 depending on what you get. - the resort is built onto a hillside, so you'll be climbing up and down some paths and stairs a few times every day. - you can get cell data on site with a Fiji e-SIM. Overall we loved it. Go to disconnect, relax, eat well, and enjoy the sea around you.
