I think that you can actually see the end of the earth from the 3rd floor of the Mnuw. Rooms are modern and comfortable, pretty well maintained. No night life in Yap. Few other places to eat, other than Oasis and Trader Ridge across the street. Enjoyed Scuba Diving and Snorkeling with Manta Divers. Well run on site dive center. more

Top Notch!

When I decided to book my trip to Yap, it was to realise a dream. Dive with the mindblowing Manta Rays! And the dream came true thanks to a the Manta Ray Bay Hotel team. I had 10 days booked and was hoping that everything would be spot on... Expectations exceeded I would say!! After only 4 days there, it... more

Back in April 2009, we spent 4 days in Yap and stayed at Manta Ray Bay Hotel, and we sure enjoyed our time there! From the moment we arrived at the airport (which I swear was the size of our 2 bedroom unit) we were looked after! Someone from the hotel was there waiting for us with cold water bottles... more

Manta Ray Bay Resort is an interesting place as it is an all service resort (resort is a stretch here). Anyway, it has an infinity pool, restaurant on a boat and its own dive operation. In many destinations it would be a benefit to have everything located in one spot like this, but in Colonia on Yap, this is absolutely... more

Just returned following a 3 week dive trip in Micronesia. We wanted to see the giant mantas, but unfortunately, Yap has no lodging that is acceptable to me. If you go, make it a short trip, 2-3 days at the most, see the mantas, and go back to Palau or get on a liveaboard in Paula or Truk. The hotel... more

We have just returned from a dive trip. During the trip we stayed nights at The Manta Bay Resort. Its only a short ride like 10 min to the airport but you don't have to worry about taxis as the Hotel will collect you. The Hotel is imaculate. All the rooms are very spacious. The one we stayed was up... more

We stayed at The Manta Ray Bay Hotel for 11 nights April/May 2008 and found the hotel and the staff to be first class in every possible way. Nothing was too much trouble and you really felt that they cared about you having a good time on your holiday. The hotel was very clean and comfortable, rooms light and airy... more

I stayed at MBRH for four days and also dove with Yap Divers, the dive shop affiliated with the hotel and located on the same premises. I would most definitely recommend staying at the hotel and booking any dive trips through their dive shop. They offer discounted rates if you book them together and since it seems like most people... more

I just got back from an eight day stay at the Manta Ray Bay Hotel. What a great trip! The Hotel was the perfect dive hotel. The service was outstanding. The room was clean and comfortable. Happy Hour and meals aboard the Mnuw were fun and tasty. The dive shop - run by Jan was very accomodating and the Manta... more

We've stayed at The Manta Ray bay Hotel several times over the years & it just keeps getting better & better! It was an awesome experience back in 1998 when we 1st stayed & now with the addition of the Mnuw, swimming pool & Micro Brewery it just became our favourite place in the whole world. The hotel & staff... more
