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.

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.

As a slight caveat, we don't have ANY experience with other resorts anywhere. However, with that said, we had an absolute wonderful time here. Every staff member was friendly, accommodating, and just good people. There is a compulsory meal plan but, for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, the food was honestly amazing and when broken down, affordable. The views are also amazing. To be able to look out from our room (Family Reef Bure 1) and see a blue ocean was something that we don't get to see from the US. Plenty of activities to do at the resort including being able to just go out and snorkel close to the shore and still experience a beautiful coral reef full of vibrant fish. The experience of getting to go out and snorkel around Manta Rays was also something I won't forget. I wanted to give a big vinaka to the staff including Lucia, Save, Mere, Noah, Gina, Dive Instructors Nieko, Charle, and Handre, and Snorkeling captains Pate and Jack. Overall, we would definitely come back here when visiting Fiji and will recommend it to anyone thinking of vacationing here.

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!

The staff is what makes this place great! everyone is so friendly, commited to your time there. The location is awesome with 360 fijian water views and the onep lace that offers mantaray swims. The swims however can be packed with people and it does feel odd to have 20 people in the water to look for 1 to 2 manta rays for about 30 mins to an hour. not sure if thats the experience you would want. Its also located in a place where its quite windy with current that when you snorkel it can be difficult but overall with the abundance of coral and fish its beautiful. I think the place can also do more on consveration and eco tourism esp saw tons of coral bleacing and destruction and even i had a hard time with my fins with the current to not hit the coral at the shallower end. Things like suggesting ot use reef safe only sun screen, some dos and dont about the coral to protect can help. another thing to note is everything here is an add on in terms of $$, your meal plan only includes so much and if you want to eat at differnt ime or want something else, its extra money, the snorkels and dives are extra money etc. that said id definitely stay here again and overall fiji is great.

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.

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.

A must if you’re island hopping through the Yasawa

Best coral reefs I’ve seen. The service was decent, everyone was very kind and hospitable. Some times you have be a little persistent if there’s a certain activity you want to do, mostly due to staffing issues I think. I think a good way to fix this is to have the front office get if WhatsApp to communicate with guests better. Food was mediocre to good. The only fish they served was Waloo which can be harsh on the digestive tract for some people.
You can substitute pizza for lunch or dinner.
From sunset beach.
Villa bathrooms were really cool
