Manta dive was a good resort to stay at for diving - the staff were friendly and obviously passionate about their work and the area they work in. They knew their dive sites well and the guided dives were well-organized, friendly, and safe. The rooms were a little dated, and the bed linens could be renewed -rips and such made them feel a little old. The resort is 3-star, but I was surprised that there weren't bedside tables, the mini fridge was empty and the rooms were basic and bare. Likewise the pool was pretty but missing tiles and not very clean most of our stay. The food was very tasty in the restaurant, (although please provide earlier times for coffee in the morning if possible for us early risers) Again though, if you are there to dive, all of these things were irrelevant to a great diving holiday.

Manta is an excellent dive resort. Rooms are comfortable, beds are cozy, staff is very helpful. There are delicious restaurants nearby - Sharkbite and Chillout were favs. There has been some erosion along this side of the beach. Walkout snorkeling is no longer a thing while the reef rebuilds. Snorkeling day and half day trips are available to great spots around the Gili Islands.

Room was clean, the grounds are well kept, staff was great and helpful! Enjoyed meeting guests. Laundry, tours, bike rentals are next door. Enjoyed a quite sunrise every morning from the Waterfront restaurant, before the staff came to work. Will come back next year!

The room was lovely and it was very peaceful and quiet as we were to the back of the property. Although we didn't dive this trip there was great snorkeling out the front of the hotel. Breaky was very nice and we tried a few options.

The staff is really nice and helpful. It’s also a diving center which is really cool if you are staying for three days because gives you time to get the diver certificate. The bungalows are very nice and clean. It’s very very very familiar. Really a very choice on the island.

This resort is very clean and has a good restaurant on site. We stayed in the bungalows and loved it. They have A/C and the shower is open air. W REID not use the diving services so can’t comment on those but they certainly were popular.
