Absolutely amazing. MantaRay Island has it all: Diving, Incredible Food, Clean and comfortable accommodation, Friendly staff, and smiles the minute you step foot on the island. I'm a dive instructor and have been diving all over the world (including the Great Barrier Reef). I've had my most memorable dives with the MantaRay Dive Team, including the best dive of my... More

We went to several other island resorts while in Fiji, but this was by far and away the best we stayed at. My girlfriend and I can honestly say we had one of the best weeks of our lives whilst staying here (we're already saving to go back). It offers superb diving, gorgeous weather, yummy food, prime location, friendly staff... More

The location is superb and great for snorkeling. The rest is abusive. They compete on pricing with the Octopus but far away from being as great on service and rest. So my comment are based on that as I went to both places. The food is okay. Half of the showers are not working and with cold water. The double... More

My second visit was even better than the first! Stayed in dorm first time and it was OK but VERY good value for money. This time stayed in double room with own facilities, which was clean and more than satisfactory. The staff and the relaxed atmosphere really make the experience very special. The snorkelling sites are equal to any in... More

My stay at Mantaray Island was a complete disaster. The attitude of the staff is the worst I've ever seen and everything is highly overpriced and WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR BACKPACKERS. But, since this resort is the only one on the Island, they have no competition and they get away with everything. There's simply no other place to go once... More

My stay was probably far more unusual than most people's experience, as a whole group of us got stranded on the island for an additional 3 days due to horrendous weather. (And at full price.) I booked my trip through a hostel on the mainland for a discounted price (minus the mandatory mealplan of $67/day) which included my open water... More

Mantaray Island is the place you want to stay. They got it all. Beautiful resort,lots to do, good service and very friendly staff. And they also got the best reefs if youre interested in snorkeling or diving. Everybody should dive there. I did. The guys in the dive shop was awesome, and the introduction dive with Andrew was spectacular. This... More

I am very perplexed returning home after being at this resort for two nights/ 3 days. Firstly, this is not a *resort*, it's a backpacker's hostel on an island. They have dorms that sleep 24 people at a time, several huts spread out that are the size of my garden shed back home (litterally, impossible to hang out in or... More

Bula, I'm sorry to hear you had a disappointing time on the resort but I do hope you enjoyed the free upgrade to the Jungle bure . You’re mentioning in your review that you didn't get the room you prepaid for in full, but looking back on your confirmation it says clearly that you booked a Tree house bure and... More

No toilets in the bures, you had to use the common facility. Which was clean, so that was nota problem. The breakfast buffé was awesome! Pancakes and... More
