I had high hopes for this resort, but I left feeling let down. While the rooms are comfortable with a lovely setting, the dining was overpriced and lacked quality. I really enjoyed the beautiful location and friendly staff, but the extra charges for everything made it feel like a bit of a money grab.

My stay at Manta Ray started off well but quickly turned sour due to issues with bedbugs in the dorm. The initial experience was disappointing, especially with the staff's lack of concern. On a more positive note, the activities and beach access offered some redeeming qualities.

The dormitory was not the cleanest, as I found bugs disturbing my sleep. Rating: 2

This resort offers fantastic snorkeling just off the beach, with friendly and engaging staff that made us feel welcomed. The treehouse bure provided a great sense of privacy, but we faced issues with room cleanliness upon arrival, and the dining experience left much to be desired given the price we paid. The locations are stunning, but the tidal limitations on swimming were a bit inconvenient.

I had a fabulous time at the resort! The snorkeling was incredible, and the outdoor shower in our spacious family reef bure was a highlight. However, the dining options could use a bit of improvement, particularly for breakfast, and I noticed a few delays in meal timing. Overall, it was a memorable experience with plenty of opportunities for relaxation and adventure.
