My nine family members, including two under 6yrs, really enjoyed our stay at Manami - the service was top notch!
Every detail is unique, classy, and Philippine inspired.
My two 6yr old and 3yr old enjoyed playing at the pool, while us adults dined on the delicious well presented Spanish inspired cuisine. A huge thank you to Mon, as well as the head chef and his team, who gave us a 7 star service experience, we are absolutely spoiled! The chef even prepared meals for us not yet on the menu.
The island hopping was a memorable event. Crystal clear water through which you can see so many fish and star fish. Just be sure to bring appropriate footwear as it can be rocky.
The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and our suites were spotlessly clean. Housekeeping were prompt and friendly.
If you're lucky, you'll spot one of three peacocks around the resort (one of my faves).
The spa was not quite ready for use when we visited however we were taken on a tour. I cannot wait to return to take advantage of it, the views from the huts are amazing to say the least.
A huge thank you to the resort owner for his incredible hospitality. It is definitely a first class Manami relaxing getaway.

One of the best resorts we've been to in the Philippines and possibly one of the best resorts in the world! That says a lot since we’ve been to a bunch of places all over and this one stands out. I think what sets this resort apart is the people that work there. Everyone from the Front office to the Experience team and the Dining/restaurant team was extraordinary! It made our stay there extra special. The people that work here made us feel at home with their outmost hospitality. The personal touch that they gave with their service made it special. Some of the names that stood out from our stay are: Alex (The Hotel marine biologist). She took care of my Dad who stepped on a sea urchin, she checked on him throught out our stay and reassured us about the situation. The experience team: Yver, Danilo, Mark, Sir G, Cristuto, Chris, Jonel and mac mac; they made our experience with the beach, the boat ride and the bat cave spelunking smooth and relaxing. Patricia and Stephanie from the FO. One lady from the restaurant, I forgot her name; but she deserves a recognition as she took our request to have grilled shrimp and grilled chicken inasal served after our boat tour even though it is not on the menu.
We got an amazing view from our Ocean View suite. The room is spacious, clean, comfortable and well designed. Internet connection is very reliable in any area within the hotel. We got service with a smile from all the personnel. Breakfast food is excellent. Definitely a place that's worth coming back to.

Manami Resort is a magical place to immerse yourself for days among the beauty of such a magical and special land. The resort is quiet, secluded and safe. Suitable for couples but also for disconnecting with the family. The Manami pays attention to detail starting right from its architecture with the 'use of local materials. Everything is taken care of down to the smallest detail, and local artisans are involved in the creation, such as the very large shell chandelier in the spa. Quiet rooms with a view, swimming pool, small beach available for the exclusive use of guests. Cio sought after tradition but not only. Sunsets to lose your mind and kindness everywhere. The Manami organizes thanks to its two boats unforgettable tours, snorkeling and lunches with delicious Filipino food. In short, a place all to discover

Incredibly designed, curated, and appointed, this resort ups the bar in local resort design, and to think they broke ground in an uncharted area. They recently opened some months back and there are moments that the operations feel it has yet been on a break-in, but the friendly and helpful staff clearly serve to please the guests who are not only visiting their resort but moreso their community.
We also requested to spend time out on a boat, which was a great choice! Skirted the coast and stopped in some coves, snorkeling in a marine sanctuary, etc.
It is good to see a local resort has come up with a facility of this very high standard.

I love how every one of the staff would do their greeting. With enthusiasm, one would be so impressed on how they welcome their guests. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, always ready to serve with a smile on their face. Shout out to Sir Giro for the fantastic service! 👍
My partner and I booked the ocean view suite. It was a bit far from the beach and pool area, but thankfully they have a golf cart-ish service that can take you around the property. Unfortunately forgot to go check the resort’s helipad. Definitely a must-visit when in the resort.
The food is phenomenal! I would definitely recommend those who are trying for the first time to order their truffled pizza and rib-eye steak. To die for!
Although the prices are not for the faint of heart, but it is definitely worth it! Plus, they have complimentary activities like kayaking, snorkeling, and etc.
Overall, the place is the physical definition of luxurious! Would definitely come back soon. ❤️

Staying at Manami was definitely an amazing experience! I truly enjoyed every moment of it.❤️
But what really stood out was how the staff are all so courteous and so humble especially Sir Jay and Sir Danilo who both entertained us as if we were the only guests there - Sir Danilo always giving us cold drinks and staying near us while we were down at the beach while Sir Jay went above and beyond his duty, even offering to clean our shoes and recommending the best spots for picture taking.
But the best experience for me was going to the boat and touring the coral reefs with their very own in-house Marine biologist Ms. Alexis, with sir Jonel as captain along with sir Danilo. She was so fun and passionate and really took the time to explain about the islands and fish among others! But her passion for the environment is what really struck me, as I watched her as she would take the time to remove ropes stuck around corals and trash on the sea bed.
Also an unforgettable experience was our dinner with the most breathtaking view of the sunset ❤️ I have never seen such beautiful combination of colors before! But it was even made more special by our waiter sir Rocky who so patiently stood beside us and also entertained us.
God bless the staff and the owners of Manami. I hope many more will discover its beauty, its modern and well-thought out design yet still maintaining and even showcasing the natural environment. God bless you all!!! And enjoy God’s creation and your moments with Jesus in this place! ❤️

We had an amazing 3 nights/4 days at Manami Resort with my college BFFs, some of whom I haven’t seen for almost 40 years. Manami was a perfect place for our reunion - beautiful resort, great food, excellent service, amazing views and lots of fun activities like Swimming, Snorkeling, Kayaking, Boating, Jet-skiing and Island Hopping. The free welcome massages and drinks and free breakfast for all of us were a nice added touch to Manami’s hospitality. All in all our stay was an awesome, enjoyable and heartwarming experience we will never forget! Thank you Manami and to all staff who helped make our stay one of the most memorable ever. ❤️❤️❤️
