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

We stayed at the Mantra Ray Bay Resort for 4 days after a week of diving in Palau. Our room was large and reasonably clean. I think the pillows were quite old and my allergies acted up sleeping on them. The beds were moderately comfortable, but the a/c worked well! They had tv's, but they were just for watching dvds,... more

We heard about the Manta Ray Bay Hotel through other divers, who couldn't stop talking about their experience on Yap. After 35 hours flying (and sitting at the airport in Palau), we arrived on Yap at 0245, where we were met by hotel staff, who drove us to the hotel, showed us around a bit, took us to our room... more

This was the second trip to the hotel, previous visit being 2004 just after the hotel had been damaged by the hurricane. The stay in 2004 was great. Despite the difficulties caused by the hurricane, the food and accommodation were excellent, the diving unbelievable and the staff made the holiday really memorable. The hotel has been refurbished and extended (swimming... more

We have now stayed on Yap at the Manta Ray Bay Hotel twice. The first time after the hurricane which destroyed much of the island and more recently in February this year. On both occasions we received nothing but the best from all the staff, nothing was too much for them you only had to ask. The rooms were large,... more

My husband and I spent 5 nights at Manta Ray Bay in Jan 2007. We loved our large clean room #217. Our balcony overlooked the employee work area, but was more private than the oceanview rooms which were visible from the restaurant. We liked the location, next to an internet cafe and grocery store; the customer-service oriented touches, like satisfaction... more

My girlfriend and I spent a great week at the Manta Ray hotel. There are few places to stay on Yap - Traders Ridge is probably best for non-divers, but for divers I think the Manta Ray is better, as their dive shop is top-notch. I actually liked the new pool at Manta Ray better than the pool at Traders... more
