“A true gem on the beach !”
Amazing location, right on the beach and not many people around. Swam many times buts is wavy so not for everyone. The beach has a shallow protected pool on one side that’s accessible at the low tide, really lovely, filled with small fish ! We went every morning. Pool is clean and easy to enjoy ! There are umbrellas and loungers by the pool and by the beach! Wonderful meals, and drinks at the restaurant. Attentive staff and a lovely owner. Stunning view from the room, hammock and chairs to sit on the balcony and enjoy the sounds of the waves. We had real hard time leaving the place and intend to go back. So relaxing! So well run!

“A warm, welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, attentive staff, and a stunning location”
The hotel staff was friendly and helpful — they respond quickly to emails and inquiries. I really enjoyed the food. I love their coconut shrimp and the way they prepare the tuna. The hotel had a family-like atmosphere, yet every guest had their own space. The location is fantastic! I really like this hotel and will definitely return.

The Manta Raya Hotel is an absolute Gem! After reflecting on any of the negative comments/reviews we read prior to experiencing the hotel, it is clearly obvious to me that people have very different wants and needs from a vacation hotel. If you don't like a little adventure in your vacation journey, experiencing a bit of culture and are looking for a lively beach and nightlife atmosphere, this is not the place for you. The journey to the hotel is slightly off the beaten path and has some bumps in the road which is also unique and interesting, to look into the lives of people living in this small community. If you are looking for a charming, quiet, relaxed atmosphere at a incredibly beautiful and unique location, this is the place for you. The Hotel staff are warm, inviting and caring. Rooms are large and comfortable The food is wonderful. The complimentary breakfast of fruits, fresh baked breads, homemade jams, and fresh juice was ample for us. Any other traditional breakfast items outside what was complimentary were available to order at a very reasonable cost. Dinners each night were excellent, we chose the fresh fish dinner each night, Awesome! The beach is great! A nice beach for a small walk explore some rocks and tidal pools on either end and white sand with a swimmable light surf in the middle. Great sunsets. - WIFI worked well - Pool is great - AC was great - Everything was clean including facility bathrooms We enjoyed the Manta Raya so much we came back later in our trip just to hang out and enjoy a lunch. Can't wait to comeback again soon.

“Amazing, secluded, peaceful, decadent”
A truly exceptional place if you're looking for peace and quiet! To us, the location was perfect: right on the beach, with a lovely stretch of ocean and literally no-one else around most of the time; though there are some other accommodations there, the beach still felt super private, and we mostly saw people at meal times (as Manta Raya also has the only restaurant in the immediate vicinity). Great food, with new dinner options daily, nice bar - with prices similar to upmarket restaurants in Mexican cities. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. The whole place literally shuts down at 10 PM, so you can really recuperate from the bustle of pretty much everywhere else in Mexico (though it's not far from other, livelier beaches, towns, and some attractions, and the hotel can arrange transport - we, however, felt no need to use this option throughout our short stay).

“Lovely stay, loved the vibe”
We loved the location on the beach, very relaxing away from the hustle and bustle. Amazing sunsets. Breakfast is simple, but enough and delicious. Food at the restaurant is absolutely amazing at reasonable price. Attentive staff, clean rooms. Beautiful beach, very clear clean water.

“Secluded beachfront luxury”
We had a wonderful time at Manta Raya. Its in a fantastic location off the beaten track on Salchi beach. Our room was huge with a balcony with table and chairs and hammock looking out to the beach - a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Matching and possibly exceeding the location was the service we received from the staff, particularly Fernanda who went out of her way to look after us including an unexpected dinner on the beach. The food was delicious with quality Vegan options provided for every meal, not just as an after thought. Highly recommended!
