Manta is an excellent dive resort. Rooms are comfortable, beds are cozy, staff is very helpful. There are delicious restaurants nearby - Sharkbite and Chillout were favs. There has been some erosion along this side of the beach. Walkout snorkeling is no longer a thing while the reef rebuilds. Snorkeling day and half day trips are available to great spots around the Gili Islands.

Everything about Manta Dive Resort is great! Helpful and friendly people, a very good and convenient location. Also, breakfast is really good.

Overall it was a nice experience, but we had higher expectations due to the good reviews. The room didn't have a mosquito net and it smelled weird. It might be due to the roof material, but it wasn't pleasent. Furthermore we got the experience that guests who were staying there for a diving course were treated a little better than regular guests. Last I need to mention - the hotel doesn't have a sand beach where you can lay. You need to go somewhere else on the island to get this. We were expecting this from the photos and got disappointed.

The room was lovely and it was very peaceful and quiet as we were to the back of the property. Although we didn't dive this trip there was great snorkeling out the front of the hotel. Breaky was very nice and we tried a few options.

The staff is really nice and helpful. It’s also a diving center which is really cool if you are staying for three days because gives you time to get the diver certificate. The bungalows are very nice and clean. It’s very very very familiar. Really a very choice on the island.

This resort is very clean and has a good restaurant on site. We stayed in the bungalows and loved it. They have A/C and the shower is open air. W REID not use the diving services so can’t comment on those but they certainly were popular.

We really liked the welcome we received. It felt like we were coming home instead of just arriving. Having the dive masters sitting there gave us an opportunity to ask some question and get honest answers about the island.

The staff are super laid back and always there to help. The place has a buzzing atmosphere despite Gili Airs chilled out nature. The breakfast was amazing! Garden rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. Wake up to the blue sea everyday!

I was excited to stay here, but I’m going to say this mostly because I got so many emails from so many different people it appeared I may have been difficult in arranging payment. But you should be ashamed of the diving experience you gave a friend and I. No smb for our guide? Had to use mine? Overpriced, unfriendly staff aside from the one girl at the desk. The other woman also had no explanation for an extra 100,000 rp charge for each customer which apparently is a “park fee” and rudely had a dive instructor tell us “oh it’s new we forget” Im knowing many instructors around the gilis no one knew anything about this charge. In my opinion your diving operation is a joke and you should be ashamed about not only safety but you attitude for such a hyped up dive shop. Stay in a beautiful room for $60 USD dive elsewhere. All dive staff were absolutely MISERABLE.

This was the perfect place to stay on Gili Air, beautifully located, great staff, comfortable accommodation and everything we needed.

Well... Not the best. Had big hopes for this one but nope. Room is fine but you felt ignored by the staff and breakfast was 2/5. You could only choose 1 meal of the menu (smoothie, toast, egg etc) ended up buying second breakfast somewhere else, every day. We left an empty can of Coca-Cola on a table by the pool. In two days it was still there Hahah and the staff just lying on the sun beds watching their phones. Don't know if the can is still there, check it out 😂 And this side of the island smells. Not a bad review for the hotel but location is bad. Good for snorkling right outside but nothing else. Garbage by the roads everywhere, smells really bad, nothing that gives you a good appetite by the restaurants.

Great location, wonderful clean comfortable air-conditioned rooms, friendly staff. Love the fact they are so eco-friendly refill your water bottle for free etc- only small complaints would be the poor wifi in the rooms - I work as I travel so can't just switch off completely -but we knew that was going to be bad beforehand so made sure we had mobile data and that was fine. The other thing was it would be nice to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room - I guess the electricity supply might not like it though so I understand ...it made me drink more water anyway which is a good thing :)

Great location, amenities and service. The only downside was the bed comfort and poor wifi

Spacious rooms in peaceful setting along a pretty winding path. Two lovely pools, cheerful staff and restaurant and seating overlooking the beach.

Nice room, suitable for 3 people, at the back of the resort. Good beds and great breakfast. Beautiful plants everywhere, quiet, and still right next to many restaurants.
