We stayed at one of the other hotel on Yap but by farmost this hotel is the nicest. We visit it a few times for lunch and dinner and we we're a little bit dissapointed not to stay here. The staff is so unbelievable friendly, they will make you feel like home. A negative side is the food (dinner mostly).... more

For divers, the choice is between Manta Bay and Traders Ridge. For charm and class, as well as diving, Traders Ridge has Manta Bay beat, hands down. Our room was lovely, overlooking the pool and bay. The building is all new, but built to look like an old colonial mansion. There are wood floors, period funishings, and everything is very... more

We stayed four nights at Traders Ridge. It's probably the best in Yap (there are only 138 rooms in the entire area) but regardless, it's a comfortable hotel. You can go their website to view photos so I won't describe the facility except to say it's clean and the staff is friendly (almost too friendly if that's possible). The rooms... more

When in Yap there are really only two places to stay, either Trader's Ridge or Pathways. The advantages of Traders are many. If you are the kind of Traveler that wants the "first" class experience (or as close as you can get in Yap) then you should head directly to Trader's. There have well appointed rooms, flawless service, and a... more

I think by far this is the nicest hotel on the Island. We were there for Diving and used the dive shop affiliated with the resort. The rooms were clean and large. Staff very friendly but some a little shy. Good: Rooms, layout of the resort, pick up at the airport (they own their own lounge at the airport and... more

Beautifully built from native wood, and impeccably maintained, this small resort is an unknown gem. So unknown, in fact, that we were the only guests here for three days (and apparently the foreseeable future upon our departure). Yet the place is gorgeous, beautifully maintained, and friendly. Food was excellent as well. Not cheap, but wonderful atmosphere. more

Traders Ridge Resort, Yap. This is the best hotel on Yap. We stay there 5 nights in March 2006 and it was better than the best hotel we had in the Pacific. The owner and the staf of this hotel are as brothers and sisters... For us no question, Traders Ridge Resort, the best there is... more

My wife and I just spent 3 nights at the Trader's Ridge Resort (known locally as TR). The 22 room hotel and grounds are much more attractive than the others in town, with native art displayed everywhere to great effect. Our room was large, attractive and very functional; the bathroom was fine, but finished to a lower standard. The pleasant... more

We just spent a week at Traders Ridge this February and I can't say enough how wonderful our stay was. Everyone staff member was devoted to making sure we had a great experience. The hotel itself was immaculately clean and beautiful. Fresh flowers were on our bed every night at turn down. When we first planned our trip, we considered... more
