I visited Mantaray in May 2012 for a total of 4 nights on a tour package. The physical beauty of the island was spectacular in a way I wasn't prepared for. The snorkeling right off the resort was just out of this world and I will NEVER forget my swim with the manta rays and spear fishing with the staff!!... More

Fantastic food with a great view. Plenty of sunloungers on the beach. Very friendly and accomodating staff. BEST SNORKELLING I HAVE EVER DONE, right off the beach too... honestly like sticking your head into a fish tank. I will come back again one day for sure! Only negative were the awful mattresses in the dorm. A good place to meet... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights after having been at the Octopus resort. I wish I had stayed at Octopus where there is much more to do, better food, friendlier people and better staff.

We usually have excellent weather up in the Yasawa Islands, however if the weather wasn't very good during your stay, this can affect your experience, as some activities may not have been available.
