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!
Blanca, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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!
Erika, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Kate, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

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.

Setting was lovely and staff were great. Such a relaxing and friendly environment. We hope to return again!!
Judith, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The beach villas were amazing, especially the outdoor shower. It was quite humid so towels and such were a little mildewed but that is expected in remote tropical locations. The only thing i did not appreciate at this resort was that there was a mandatory expensive food charge that was not mentioned when booking! You were forced to pay for 3 meals per day whether you wanted 3 meals a day or not at the restaurant. It would be much nicer and more fair if they had a la carte dining at the restaurant. Other than the dining issue it was a great small quiet resort with activities to do.
Kristina, 2-night trip

Staff are amazing and swimming with manta rays unforgettable. Great gluten free food options. Beautiful snorkelling right off beach.

A bit rustic but a charming island resort retreat. Food was great; reef Bure was right there a few steps from the ocean. Very welcoming.

Neil, Dianne, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Welcome home- this resort was the highlight of my summer! Offers beautiful ocean-front stays, a lovely walkable beach, and easy access to snorkeling and diving. Food is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. Wish I could visit every month!

We travelled with two teenage boys. We all had a great time. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Staff were greeting each of our family members from the first day. Diving was great. Snorkling from the beach in front of the resort was amazing. Nice coral full of life. Food was good as well. We had a beach villa. It was excellent and close to the main area of the resort.

Mantra Ray Island resort was everything we could have asked for. There were always activities on offer, but you could also just lay in a hammock for hours. The snorkelling just steps from our bure was amazing, the best I’ve ever experienced. The staff were so friendly and kind.

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.

Villa bathrooms were really cool
