Manuia Beach Resort is the best resort! We will not stay anywhere else when visiting Raro. The staff are the best and provide friendly excellent service. The resort itself is absolutely breathtaking with white sand all around the resort and an infinity pool overlooking the crystal clear lagoon/ocean. Cannot rate Manuia any higher!!

We loved how peaceful the resort was. Beautiful pool - but more shade could be good. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Nothing was a problem! Food fantastic. Christmas Day lunch was so great!!!! Thank you so much.

The Manuia Resort is a fantastic place to stay. The staff are really friendly and helpful - nothing seems too much trouble. It's quiet and has no children, a plus for me. Beautiful infinity pool, snorkels and kayaks to borrow, comfy loungers to enjoy the sun or shade on the beach or around the pool. Great restaurant with a delicious range of dishes though it is expensive. Continental and cooked breakfast in the beachside restaurant was included in our clean, gorgeous room's price. The huge plus though is the location. Amazing beachfront units with palms and lush gardens from which we enjoyed the ocean and pool view as well as the passing whales. A few more and cheaper bar snack-style food offerings would make it pretty much perfect. Not the cheapest place I've stayed but I would go back in a heartbeat.

Stunning location. Everything you could wish for to have a relaxing holiday.

Absolutely beautiful resort. Lovely pool area. The bar/restaurant was great and all the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend this place.

Great place, clean, friendly staff and awesome location. The restaurant menu and food can be improved

Excellent staff service and stunning location.

Pool was beautiful. Felt like this place was a bit oversold. There was no spa/massage as advertised. Menu at restaurant was very limited. Cocktails were less than average. Outdoor shower was interesting. Would have been nice to have an indoor shower as well.

We loved our stay at Manuia, it really is a special place. Smaller than most resorts and lovely and quiet…no kids under 16. The rooms are great, we booked beachfront which was amazing. Lovely grounds, team, and beach. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back!!

This is a lovely quiet resort. The rooms were nice with lots of space and an outdoor shower which was pretty great. Beautiful pool and one restaurant on site. The night we arrived, we tried to get a drink in the bar and some dinner but they were quite busy and asked us to try somewhere else. This has never happened to me before, we were quite tired but walked down the road for dinner. Only dined in the restaurant once, the food was lovely. Breakfast was pretty limited. Pancakes, toast, fruit and cereal. If you arrived after 9am then most of the fruit was gone and they didn't seem to replenish it. We had an ant problem in one of our rooms so had to move out to another room. We all ended up in one room for the night as reception was closed (limited hours) and there was no one to help. Mary in particular was wonderful with shifting the girls to their new room and even doing our washing after our buggy ride. Staff were very friendly and helpful and this is a beautiful location to relax and enjoy the views.

The staff was extremely kind and helpful! We had a 10am check out but our flight did leave until 11:55pm. We were able to use all of the resorts amenities after check out. There is a guest lounge that we left our luggage in. It had clean towels and a shower for guest that have checked out. The only problem we had was the room had red ants. We informed the front desk and they had someone look into the ants.

Excellent Resort, awesome and helpful staff. OTB restaurant great. Service to room was excellent. Only issue which was minor, is the toilet didn't have a very powerful flush. shower was superb. Spacious room. Loved it. Everyone that worked there were really friendly, smiley and attentive and helpful. Will return. Best side of the island, sunsets were amazing.

Private quiet nice staff good knowledge of the area easy to get around from location

Views were great. very quiet place Inside the room was spacious. Fantastic outdoor shower !!

Our stay was OK but in our opinion it was not 4 star and definitely not worth $390 per night. The bed was comfortable but the sheets were pilled; the outdoor shower was excellent, the bathroom looked like it had been recently upgraded but the curtains were not black-out, the hems were diwn and there was lots of dust etc visible under the bed; tea and coffee making facilities were available as was a bar fridge and air con. The gardens were beautifully kept and there's a great restaurant on site. A basic breakfast is available as part of the room charge. A car/bike hire office is opposite and the once per hour bus runs oast the driveway. There is no free wifi and the swimming pool was surprisingly very cold. Reef shoes are available for walking in the lagoon.

All staff at resort and restaurant were awesome. So lovely and helpful. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Would definitely stay there again.

Resort much more private/exclusive than some of the larger resorts that we checked out. Rooms exceptionally clean and comfortable and serviced daily. Great restaurant, great staff, great location, great pool, great entertainment. Snorkelling is okay in front of the resort but better in some other areas. I would definitely stay here again next time. Loved it.

The beach was great, water is warm and the property is well landscaped. The people are friendly and help you however they can. The pool is very nice. Had a wonderful time there.

Great restaurant with adjacent swimming pool, sun lounging deck and deck chairs on the beach. The beach was beautiful but not better than Mira Beach and the efforts to support guests better enjoy their stay could have been improved, e.g. communication about free island tour and best ways to get about

We had a great laid back Island stay. The pool was a big plus for me. All of the staff were very accommodating.

The property was very nice, the staff and owners are great. There is a church shuttle on Sunday that drops you off at the Catholic Church or CICC. We went to CICC and it was nice. Our room was listed as beach front, but we had the pool in front of our place which is not a big deal, but it’s ocean view. We were in room 6 and my only real complaint is that it’s basically right behind the OTB restaurant which was really good. There is some noise in the evening and as the place is closing down. We recommend going on the Tuesday mystery tour with Sue the owner, it was great. Drinks with management on the beach was also a fun time. One thing we would have liked to seen is the airport transfers included in the price of the room, it seemed like a big side expense per person for the distance to and from the airport. Overall this was a great place to stay and we would definitely go back. With room availability, we were allowed to have an extended checkout at 9pm for a small fee which was a big bonus.Thanks Sue and Tom

This was a great location for sunsets and beachfront eating and relaxing by the pool. The accomodation was comfortable but not luxury, however the service was very friendly. A good location to be near shops, airport, port, markets and there is a car and scooter rental across the road which was very affordable. Overall good experience.

Excellent stay, beautiful location, great beach!

Great location, reasonably priced food and drinks but main menu could have been varied more. Easy to get around from the resort. Downside is no tv in the room but adds to the ability to unwind and switch off. A bit noisy early in the morning with workers staring up equipment and the roosters as an alarm clock

Wonderful friendly hotel offering a truly relaxing hassle free experience . Spacious rooms comfy beds with private gardens around each room. Love the outdoor showers
