The island is beautiful and the staff are top notch. They are all so friendly and always smiling.The main reason for going was the snorkeling and diving which did not disappoint. The corals were spectacular.

Barefoot Manta exceeded expectations in every way! The staff were friendly, kind and attentive. The food was quite good, drink options did the job, but you're really going here for the activities. The reefs that surround the resort are nothing short of spectacular. Teeming with marine life and outrageously beautiful coral. We can't wait to return next year!

However very hard to get to, we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days on the island. It was quiet and safe and we felt very much at peace in our bure, thus the added bonus of its inaccessibility to the noisy public. The Fijian staff are amazingly friendly and welcoming. If there was a negative it would be the food/cooking quality. The breakfasts were outstanding but the buffet-style dinners and lunches were too bland and overcooked and became repetitive!

We had a great time at this resort - loved seeing the giant mantas right below us and learning about these amazing animals. Also staff was excellent - lots of talks to join on culture, nature, etc. Bure was clean and right on beautiful beach. Food and bar very good for the price. Also separate ferry ride out to the island - was fun to see all the small islands along the way

Alan

Awesome for snorkeling right off the beaches. Easy access to sunrise and sunset beaches. The Bures' on the sunrise side are breezy but great for dry cleaning clothes and sleeping cooler. The food was great although I was expecting more fish dishes. Lamb, beef and chicken are the staples, the rice is cooked to perfection and very flavorful. Staff are great and will show you culture and happiness.

Loved our private Bure facing the beach. Loved the friendly, caring staff. Food was very very good and the snorkeling was incredible. If you are looking for a luxury resort, this is probably not it. if you are looking to experience Fiji in a more authentic way you want to go here.

Gemma

One of the best islands, would highly recommend!

This island is now my favourite as the staff really make you feel like part of something special and the resorts focus on marine biology has resulted in some of the best coral I have ever seen. Thoroughly enjoyed a week on the island diving, snorkelling and eating way too much delicious food. Made loads of friends and will return again and again. Vinaka Vaka Levu for a fantastic stay.

Barefoot Manta is a delightfully tranquil small island resort. Everything is within 1minute walking at island pace. There is enough to do to keep one occupied for a couple of days, without overwhelming one with choice. For someone who lives in a city, being able to walk to the beach with a cup of coffee in hand was a very relaxing experience. Watching the sunset with a drink in hand from the Sunset bar was a delight.

Amazing stay at Barefoot Manta! We have travelled a lot and this stay ranks very high on the list. The location was amazing with beach access right outside our Bure. Staff were fabulous. So friendly and accommodating. The snorkeling n the reef was some of the best we have seen. The resort is very clean and cared for. It was tough to leave after 4 nights. We highly recommend Barefoot Manta if your planning to travel to Fiji

Book with caution.....

After wanting to visit here for a year we finally found last minute availability. Unfortunately our visit left us disappointed on some fronts. The arrival and instant demand for full and total liability waiver to be signed ( including resort negligence ) prior to allowing check in, a room move disguised as an " upgrade" that wasnt, and late night noise by the bars and backacker set were problematic. Im yet to check the if liability waiver may violate our travel insurance. Waivers of this type should be sent in advance of arrival. The location is epic. Manta and great marine life. Spectacular snorkling. Clean rooms. Beautiful beaches. Food was overall pretty good but did become repetitive. I wanted to love this place. I did love Vee the manta.
