This place is absolutely fantastic I couldn’t recommend it any more.. if you’re thinking about going.. book it! The staff are incredible kind and look after you so well everyone you pass will give you a warm “Jambo”. Really tasty food and the fresh fish is great. We went on a sunset cruise and sand bank excursion both I’d recommend. The members of staff should be proud of the environment they have created at Manta Resort!

This place is true eco & ethical paradise. Nestled behind a private white sandy beach and Marine Protected Area of the Indian Ocean. The location, resort, staff, food, and diving was incredible. Worth the long trip to get here!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, our trip to Manta resort started off a little iffy. We had travelled 12 hours without eating and arrived hangry and frustrated. We had some issues with our room, however, after bringing it to management's attention, they went above and beyond to meet our expectations. All staff were so polite, funny, and accommodating. The food was great and the drinks delicious. We got there early in the season, so the weather was windy and sometimes rainy. We were still able to scuba dive 3 times, which was lovely. The dive staff was fantastic, including Tayla who is the dive master/instructor. Shout out to Lucas, our "waiter" extraordinaire. He was wonderful! Overall great experience.

Such a beautiful and relaxing resort with the most caring and friendly staff. Every single employee from Hamisi in the dining area to Taylor and Mandela and the dive team were incredibly helpful and they spoiled us the whole time we were there. The diving is beautiful with very good visibility just 5-10 minutes from the resort. We saw lots of beautiful fish and corals as well as moray eels and octopus. Our bungalow was as so beautiful and comfortable with a private plunge pool. It’s a little effort to get to the resort with a 90 minute drive from the Pemba airport but so worth it once you get there! Every meal was delicious and beautifully presented. I recommend the fresh fish every time it is offered. Daily included massage is terrific. I would stay at least 5 nights at the Manta Resort.

Staying at The Manta Resort is not just a holiday—it’s a profound journey into a world where nature and community blend seamlessly. The team at Manta is extraordinary. You don’t feel like a guest; you feel like part of something bigger. Every smile, every conversation is genuine and real. Manta’s work through the Kwanini Foundation is what impressed us most. Their dedication to protecting Pemba’s fragile marine ecosystems and empowering local communities is deeply inspiring. You can witness firsthand how tourism can be a force for good. Knowing that our stay helped support this mission added a profound layer of meaning to our trip. We left humbled and with great appreciation of your incredible conservation work that changes lives and has a lasting impact on the unique and delicate ecosystem. We can’t wait to return (a fourth time) to this magical and unique paradise.

We had the most amazing 3 days and 2 nights at the manta hotel. When we arrived Juma the hotel manager was so kind and welcoming. We felt like we were old friends. Our butler/waiter was Said. He was the most kind, welcoming and caring person I have ever met. No request was too much for him. He went above and beyond every minute. He even arranged a lunch and dinner on the beach! In addition, the dive center is AMAZING! I went on a morning 2 tank dive and it was seriously some of the best diving I have ever experienced. Mandela was a great dive buddy! He made me feel so safe and even pointed out great fish that I would have surely missed! Thank you again Juma, Said and Mandela! You gave us a vacation that we’ will never forget and we will certainly be back!!!

Felt as close to paradise as I've been. Gorgeous island, delightful people, amazing amenities, and delicious food. Fantastic house reef for daily snorkeling and daily massages! Plus, lots of excursions, including fishing, and then the kitchen cooked our catch!
