Amazing and beautiful place to stay. The Staff are extremely helpful and kind. The price is reasonable as well. There are a lot of activities that you want to try. Some of them are free, which is good. I really enjoyed staying there. Vinaka!

Very good place, snorkeling, beach are great, the meal is also very rich, the only drawback is the cold water shower.

Barefoot Manta was amazing! We spent 5 nights and had the best time. The staff were incredible, especially the resident marine biologist Rob who was a mine of information and enthusiasm. There are 3 different beaches to snorkel from and the snorkelling was the best we have ever seen, it is a protected marine reserve and we participated in coral planting which was great. The Manta Ray trips happened on 3 of our 5 days, it is a bit of an uncontrolled bun fight with various resorts sending their boats to see the mantas but the Barefoot Manta crew were educated and respectful. The resort is beautiful and has a lovely vibe, the staff were so friendly and helpful. We stayed in a double Bure on the sunset side, it was a permanent tent and it was all that we could have wished for, right on the beach. The meal plan is really expensive by our standards, I would have preferred an al a carte option as I have food restrictions and I found that eating salad and rice for almost every meal was boring and repetitive. The staff did try though, however $40 Fijian for salad and rice was a bit on the nose. Bring snacks! It would have been good if they could have made the tea/coffee available all day and maybe had something available for afternoon tea as it is 6 hrs between lunch and dinner. We do recommend this place.

The research I did planning our holiday was reflected in the great choice of this resort. Welcoming staff ensure your holiday goes well. The manta ray snorkelling trip was a highlight. Small groups of up to six people visit the manta rays with experienced guides - ensuring everyone sees the manta rays if they are there. In the water we kept a good distance from the manta rays, forming a floating line following our guide. The manta rays were relaxed to feed and glide magnificently through the channel undisturbed. They are amazing! (Sadly trips from other resorts nearby were seen chasing and frightening the manta rays – which scared them away). The marine biology talks are really interesting. I particularly enjoyed learning about the unexpected things coral does at the Coral Talk. Breakfast is an extensive buffet with everything you could think of for a continental or cooked breakfast, with several other baked goods and local delicacies. Lunch and dinner have a variety of meals to choose from. Dietary requirements are catered for. Saturday is Fiji night with a Lovo. Ladies from the local village travel 40 minutes by boat to sell their crafts at a small market. They were there on Saturday and Monday during our visit. Ensure you have some Fiji dollars to support their endeavours to earn an income. Water for your drink bottles is available in the restaurant at all times. Good sized bath and beach towels are provided. Hand towels and face cloths are not, so you may choose to bring your own.

Bula ! A True Slice of Paradise – Barefoot Manta Resort I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay at Barefoot Manta – it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish! First and foremost, the staff were absolutely amazing. Every single person we encountered was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their genuine hospitality added so much to the atmosphere and made our stay feel incredibly personal and special. The accommodation was everything we hoped for and more – simple yet beautiful, clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural surroundings. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves and waking up to the sun rising over the ocean was pure magic. One of the absolute highlights of our trip was the manta ray snorkelling. Swimming alongside these graceful giants in crystal-clear water was an awe-inspiring experience we will never forget. The resort's guides were knowledgeable and respectful of the wildlife, ensuring the experience was both safe and sustainable. Barefoot Manta truly embodies the spirit of Fiji – breathtaking nature, meaningful cultural connection, and genuine, heartfelt service. Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, this place is a must-visit. We’re already dreaming of coming back
