The bungalows/cottages are quite big and comfortable. The location is amazing, with an incredible beach full of sea life (snorkel and diving highly recommended), where you can see green turtles and amazing coral sea life just with a mask just in front of the resort. Perfect spot for diving: I got my open water diver certification thanks to Manta Dive and it is an experience I will never forget. The restaurant prepares very tasty mexican food

Loved the friendly vibe. The location is perfect - a coral reef right across the street for snorkeling. A bit away from the hustle of the port, easy walking everywhere. Lots of good dining nearby right on the beach. The room was spacious, classic white walls with wood windows, a bouganvillia courtyard just outside my door. Enjoyed the bathroom with roofless shower. The adjacent cafe offered a very generous breakfast, great coffee, and good tacos for lunch. Took a refresher scuba course in the morning, and we dove the reefs that afternoon in their boat. Loved the experience, can't wait to get back. Gilli Air is perfection for relaxing and reading a book under a palapa, or watching the sun set behind Lombok at a table by the water.

The room was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was great and the shower had good pressure and was hot. The breakfast was really good. It was at a cafe next door which has very yummy Mexican food. There was amazing snorkeling straight off the beach infront.

Rooms are clean and well appointed. Staff were welcoming on arrival and helpful throughout the stay. Breakfast was lovely every morning and lunch was perfectly sized. The resort location is on the perfect side of the island to catch the morning sunrise as well as the breeze on those hotter days. Everything on the island is a short walk away and the staff offered great ideas on places to go and things to do. There is current that runs parallel to the beach that makes this the perfect location for lazy snorkeling, jump in further up the beach, drift down and get out just past the resort! The Dive Centre staff were fantastic. We loved our 8 dives with the team! Cannot speak highly enough of Rob and his team, especially Zuki and the boat crew!

The wife found the bed a little firm for her liking, but it definitely wasn't a deal breaker!

The best snorkel spot is directly out front and the dive shop had great staff and great diving. The food was also delicious. The accommodations were very comfortable.

The cottage style huts allowed for some insects inside. Totally understandable but something to be aware of.

amazing communication from the start and welcomed when we arrived. we both enrolled for the open water scuba course. I was not feeling the best and struggled with the course and the staff were so lovely and understanding when I checked out. my husband completed the course and said it was one of the best things he has ever done. such a professional team. hotel was comfortable and clean the restaurant was perfect, best tacos we have ever had!! ate so many every day :). amazing location, not too busy not too quiet and close to everything. and the stray cats are looked after so well, they are fed by the staff daily, we are huge animal lovers and this was so lovely for us. we will be back and for longer next time, thanks to the entire team for making our time on your beautiful island so special 🩷🩷

The Manta Dive Resort is in a fantastic location just 5 metres from the sea, with the reef right there. The resort is very special, with its very distinctive bungalows. The island can be visited on foot in about an hour. Peace and tranquillity reign supreme

The bathroom, as is often the case here in Indonesia, is open to the outside, which means that mosquitoes can easily enter the room every time the door is opened, and of course other insects as well. The shower drains the water with shampoo and various products directly into the ground which is made of stones where the water falls before draining away, not very environmentally friendly I find, this is really bad for the environment. Absolutely must be improved, although I see this as really difficult and expensive now

We specifically chose manta for their dive center and it really did not disappoint which i will come to. The food and the pool were great. One pool was being cleaned for the days we were there so we didnt use it but the other two were great. Location was great and the facilities were spot on. the diving was out of this world. We had three instructors, Mul, Marianna and Debbie Rahayu. We would specifically like to shout out Debbie as I was especially nervous for the dives and when we went out the current was a lot stronger than we expected yet she was so supportive and guided me every step of the way to ensure i was comfortable under water. All three are a credit to your company.

Everything! We had a fantastic stay. We were contacted by the resort beforehand to see if we were interested in doing any diving which my partner was and that was all arranged seamlessly and for an incredibly reasonable price. I don’t dive but was invited to go along on the trip to snorkel (for no additional fee) which was amazing. The accommodation was lovely - exactly what we wanted and in the best location on the island. Food was great, breakfasts delicious and we had lunch in the restaurant after diving and had the most incredible fish tacos! The staff were all lovely - chilled, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Rob was especially helpful and Opik (sorry if spelt wrong) was also lovely!

We were happy with everything!

We loved the diving and our fabulous guide, Zuki!! All the staff were great and very professional. It was so nice sitting in the restaurant having brekky and watching the horses and bikes going past. The location was great and so close to many eating venues. Snorkelling out the front was better than we expected. Bike hire was easy and great value. Thank you.

What didn't we like....Easy to answer....We didn't like having to leave.
