I stayed at the Manta Ray while travelling for work to Yap. I had a week end during which I could experiment the diving. Here are my takes on the place: GOOD STUFFS: 1. The staff is really friendly and tries to help as much as they can 2. The location is convenient to walk to a market/mall near-by 3.... More

United's flights to Yap really suck.... Prepare for late nights and early mornings However this inconveinience is partlyade up by a really good meet and greet at the airport and fine consideration for sleepy (grumpy) travellers. The resort is great and the dive operation is very well run by Jan and his team. The food sucks.... Someone is trying really... More

This is a truly fantastic place to go and enjoy the wonders that the underwater world as to offer and his offer is yours to enjoy day after day.

Just came back from a trip to The Manta Ray Bay Hotel where we had a wonderful time! The rooms are all spacious and comfortable with good air conditioning. Every room is themed. We stayed in the French Angelfish room. Service was fantastic and the food was good. Everyone knew your name by the second day and were always pleasant.... More

This was my first trip to Yap after visiting Pohnpei island and I must say that I enjoyed every minute of my stay at the Manta Ray. I was there for a week of diving and was extremely impressed with the high level of professionalism specifically inherent in their dive shop. Not only were the guides warm and friendly, but... More

I have known about Yap much longer than I have known of Palau, but until 2011 had bypassed the little island of Yap to head to the Majestic Palau. A very good friend... More

We stopped off in Yap on our way back from Palau. This hotel was wonderful and the service was great. We had room 308 which over looks the pool and the ocean, with huge windows on two sides. There was a four poster bed and the room was spacious. Even though we were only there 3 days, the hotel and... More

I have just returned from a too short Christmas visit with my family. First things first -- this is a resort for, by and about SCUBA divers. In a way that's a bit of a shame. Yap has probably the most enduring culture in Micronesia, as evidenced by the respect for elders and land exhibited in daily life. The Men's... More

Our stay at MRB was for 4 nights as a precursor to a week of diving in Palau. Our package included 3 days of 2-tank diving, breakfast and airport transfers. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable. The resort is clean and well run. We must first note that the resort had few guests during our stay—only about 12 persons (with... More
