A wonderful getaway

I loved staying here - it's a real bubble as it's the only accommodation on this island. Staff are so friendly and helpful, and the trip to see Mantarays was just incredible - they plan very well and ensure you feel safe. Food here is incredible, and there's a million places to find to chill The spa treatment was excellent I'd recommend at least three days here, as it takes about three hours from Denarau to get here

Beautiful resort with good value

The resort is large and organised, with great facilities. The dorm is huge (32 beds), but it is spacious and does not make us feel like we are sharing with all these people. The food in the restaurant is delicious and has many options for all the 3 meals. The staff is very kind and friendly.

Absolutely everything, this resort is magical. The most incredible house reef, best snorkeling. Super friendly staff and comfy accommodation. The meal package was great value for money, the meals were so delicious. Loved every minute. Was so sad to leave, can't wait to go back. Paradise!

A relaxed resort, but lots of improvements to be made, with better descriptions of rooms

The sunrise villa had a very loud, noisy pump/generator that was next to the room - this was not advised in the booking. For one of the guests who wanted a quiet room, that was very disappointing for them. The sunrise villa was advertised to have a ‘beach front’ room, but actually had patchy grass area with sharp prickles, so not really a beach front room. There was some construction too- with loud machinery moving around the resort. The food was okay to good - not amazing (apart from the wood oven pizzas). Hot breakfast was unpredictable- it either came out in 5 minutes, but two mornings waited an hour. Due to morning activities, two guests had to miss breakfast. I advised that one of our guests didn’t drink dairy milk. Most mornings, no non-dairy milk alternatives were offered. The same guest was vegetarian- ordered a vegetarian breakfast but was given ham in their meal. In the shop at the front office, there was no sunscreen available for purchase, which is concern for a sunny beach resort, with no shops around.

Mantas are awesome

It was decent as we saw manta rays which was amazibg and the food was to a good standard. The snorkeling just off the beach was the best snorkelling I've ever seen.

Great resort to stay at! :)

Mantaray Island Resort is a great place to stay at, it is a relatively small resort with a lot of young people, which makes it good to meet people during a volleyball game or around the pool. There are also a lot of other free activities such as snorkeling, stand up paddle, kayaking, getting a fresh coconut… The food was also really good and tasty, with a special shoutout to dinner! And the staff was very nice and lovely!

Excellent! Super friendly and accommodating staff. Big thank you to the dive team!

Can't say enough about Mantaray! I stayed here on a diving holiday, and had the best time! As a solo female traveller there were plenty of opportunities for activities and to meet other solo travellers. Huge thank you to everyone in the dive centre for some amazing dives (despite poor visibility due to the cyclone)! The food was tasty and there was lots of vegetarian choices. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all chosen off a menu of 3/4 options, dinner being a 3 course meal. The house reef and beach are well maintained and explained when you arrive at the island! I will be back :)

Would recommend to anyone!

Cannot recommend this place enough! I went as a solo female traveller (30) looking for a relaxing week off work. It was the perfect place to meet people, so social and such a good balance of being able to relax. The daily actives were fun and the free snorkelling straight of the beach into the best reef I’ve ever seen. Really enjoyed all the meals too - plenty of vegetation options and had different buffet/wet menu 3 course meals. The dorms were basic but clean and comfortable and the bottom bunks felt pretty enclosed I slept very well.
