Fantastic Resort - Amazing Service

We recently enjoyed a 6 night stay at the Manta Resort and had an absolutely amazing time. Our trip followed a 7 day climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, so we were attending with a much deserved rest in mind. Throughout our stay there were never more than 6 other couples/groups there…

A little piece of paradise

You have to visit this most special resort to appreciate all previous reviews! The “African Massage” is well worth what awaits. From The fundi you get (Haji for us was an utter delight and full of great insight in to how Manta was set up), to the scenery, to the whole…

Good day all! A couple of questions for you... Is snorkeling (not diving) included in a stay with you all? Are there specialized birding/wildlife tours available? Are we able to see Flying Foxes nearby? We are very interested in relaxing, but also in seeing the local wildlife, especially endemic species. Thank you so very much for your kind assistance!

When i was there snorkels and fins were available free but they did have a couple add on things where they could take you that did cost. Sadly I can not answer the rest of the questions as I was there a very short time but I will say it was a beautiful place and I enjoyed it completely

Hello Do you cater for gluten free diets? Thanks

I would think so. The food is very fresh and we had lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Hi, I am hoping to come stay in the underwater room in early december, is this a good time of year to come? I have read online that there is a high chance of rain/ being overcast and would be so disappointed to pay the price if its risky. thank you.

December usually dry and very hot this is tropical island it can rain any time and weather can change very quickly. It rain and storming on August too when I was there. I have been in this Island on Dec for 3 weeks not a single drop of rain

We are looking at 6 nights early September, is there snorkeling from the beach or do you need to go out on a trip? Thanks

Good snorkeling from the beach or from the underwater room, but there is also a super good diving center in the resort and little boats which can bring you anywhere you want. Also important to know there is a huge tide, especially at noon and early afternoon the ocean is quite far off the beach, which may be good for snorkeling. There are no big waves though, so you are on calm waters.
