Everything here is AMAZING! The resort, staff, food, vibe, snorkeling, views, beach, and on and on. Highly recommend for all types of travelers (solo, family, couples). Very peaceful and tranquil place. We had an unforgettable experience. Cannot rave enough about the snorkeling. Out of this world!

We had two family reef bure for five days and our experience was universally excellent. The food portions were generous and well-prepared. We were shocked how good the service was so far out from Nadi. The resort focuses on customer care and looks after their house reef. The beds were comfortable and everyone loved the outdoor (but private) showers.

This really is a tropical paradise, walk from the sand in front of the resort straight into the water and drift with tide over the coral reef to see hundreds of different fish siwmming around you. Or relax in the pool when the tide is out.

We booked a beach front villa, absolutely beautiful. Even the lesser rooms looked amazing and only steps away from the beach. Can’t rate the staff highly enough. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Definitely go back again.

Staff and management who always go the extra mile. Our visit could have been a potential disaster. I am in my 70’s with heart problems. My only criticism of the management is that it states nowhere that the restaurant is up a steep incline with steps then to climb. After my first visit, for me it was impossible .The staff, then surpassed themselves. Their answer was to bring the meals down to my husband and I. Everything was laid out to perfection, served by Peti ,in a courteous manner. Valentines night was stunning, a beautiful table with flowers, decorative serviettes and lots of love. Everyone came to chat, staff and fellow travellers alike. ‘This was one of 4 Fijian islands we stayed on and a place where young and old exchanged stories and enjoyed the relaxing friendly space. A wonderful place to visit. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so special. All our love Marie and John

Great for snorkeling, laid back vibe

Great coral and fish in front of the hotel, mantas are close by and amazing, resort is nice- more on the rustic side vs fancy, but we liked that. Overall a nice experience!

Manta Ray island is such a magical place. There’s so many things that I can complement on: how convenient (& beautiful) it is to get to, the delicious food offered, how stunning the views are, and more importantly how amazing the staff is—the staff are definitely the heartbeat of the resort. A special acknowledgment for Mili, Exxon, and Save for making our trip memorable. Vinaka Vakalevu!

Beautiful place but definitely needs an uplift - c’mon owners the tree houses and adjacent drop toilets are pretty bad, shared areas definitely need a refresh, would definitely recommend to others if a bit of investment is evident

We had such a fantastic stay at Mantaray Island Resort – we’d go back in a heartbeat. Our beachfront accommodation was perfect, the food was tasty, and the excursions and activities were amazing. We celebrated a birthday while we were there and really appreciated the extra touches – the decorated room and the restaurant serenade. A highlight was visiting the local village – an unforgettable experience. One evening, we had a private beachfront dinner with excellent service from Pita, which was a real treat. We wouldn’t think twice about staying here again on another Fijian Yasawa Islands adventure.

This was such a lovely relaxed but well presented resort. The coral reef snorkling is fanrastic from the beach. The staff were lovely the food was Its a perfect 3 star resort, would highly reccomend for a low key relaxed holiday.

Great stay.

This resort mostly caters to the under 35 group. We had a bungalow in a quiet area away from the dorms, right on the beach. You could snorkel from your room or take a short boat trip to snorkel other areas and see manta rays. Meals are in addition to the room cost-set fee per person per day. The food was really good and the chef made us an anniversary cake that was divine.

The resort is fantastic if you are looking for a quiet on the beach stay. If you want luxurious accommodations this is not the place but it is very nice and comfortable for us. Walked out the front door to the ocean and reef snorkeling right there. Awesome.

antastic place to spend your time. Mantaray Island about 3.5 hours from the main island in Fiji in the Yasawa Island group, is a beautiful little hamlet of paradise. I spent 5 nights in a Reef Bure (With AC) an was extremely impressed with the cleanliness and general upkeep. The outdoor bathroom is an absolute highlight with its 3 different light/mood settings at night. The Bure itself was also only 12 step from the beach with its beautiful torquay blue water. Great snorkeling is on offer straight off the beach (High tide only) and a lovely hotel pool for low tide. The Restaurant served amazing meals on a set menu that changed every 2 day’s (B,L,D) and during the day you can swap your lunch meal for a pizza by the pool if you like, the resort also offers diving (Which I didn’t do this time) and a Spa that offers a limited but good range of massages. The Hotel is a cashless hotel, so you don’t need to have a wallet full of cash like I had. Overall this is a very good 4 star operation in the Yasawa group, and I am definitely looking to come back in July-September next year when the Mantaray swim past the Island.
