Mantaray Island Resort

The treehouses are cute though there’s only 6 showers for all dorm beds and treehouse guests. You have to buy a food package but service takes a long time so make sure you’ve got plenty of time to relax and not used to running on schedule. There’s not a great deal to do except visit a cultural village and snorkel/ scuba dive.

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.

Great stay, the treetop house was super cute and less than 30sec walk to the beach. Make sure you do the Village Walk, 100% worth it!

This is one of the best resorts on the Yasawas for solo travelers; the dorm accommodation is large, clean and allows you to meet new people. There are also lots of activities and the food provided is great.

We had a terrific week at Mantaray Island resort. We stayed in a beachfront villa which certainly helped, since they have air conditioning and a great outdoor bathroom with hot water and flush toilet. The food is not 5 star but it’s pretty good. They do have a tendency to overcook the proteins, especially the fish, but there is a good variety of food and I enjoyed every meal. Breakfast is a buffet of pastries, fruit, cereal and toast but you can order off the menu as well and I believe there were 8 options. The portions are large enough for most people, including me. The best part of the resort is the people. They really enjoy what they do and they enjoy working together. They have a rousing game of volleyball together around 6 pm and you can really tell they like playing together. When they interact with you it is apparent that they aren’t just “doing their jobs” they genuinely care about you and your comfort. We found the songs they sang to us on our departure very moving, there were a few tears shed on both sides. And the best part ………. My crab beat Mili’s in the crab race. We will miss them all. Vanaka.

This was our first stop on a first trip to the South Pacific island nations. We ended up in a very nice, spotless villa right on the spectacular beach, which offered some of the best snorkeling of our lives. The reception, excursions and restaurant staff were all very helpful, and it couldn't have been a better start to our trip to the region.
