Loved the place. First, if you want to get off the grid but stay in a comfortable and secure place, this is the ticket. We were in Indonesia for a month and elected to spend the first week diving in the region. Manta dive was recommended, so off we went with not much more than Tripadvisor as a guide. We... More

The air conditioning didnt work got our first night and the room was uncomfortably hot and we didn't get much sympathy when we complained. On our second day we walked around the island and found cheaper, much bigger accommodation in more relaxing surroundings just a short walk away. Unfortunately when we indicated we wanted to leave we were told it... More

Hi and thank you for you comments. We do feel that they were maybe a little unfair, and dont tell the whole story of what happened. It is true that our staff asked for payment for the second night of your stay. This is common practice all over the world when you leave 4.5 hours after checkout time. The simple... More

We stayed at Manta Dive for 4 nights as a warm up for our live-aboard dive trip in Komodo. It was a wonderful choice as we were really well looked after both on and off the water. A bus was waiting for us at the airport in Mataram to transport us to the north of Lombok and then a boat... More

Arrived at the lovely Manta Dive with the intention of doing our Open Water Course. We enjoyed it so much we more or less doubled our time on the Island, and carried on with our Advanced Open Water.. The resort itself is absolutley spot on- We stayed in both the Sasak bungalows, and one of the 'garden' rooms (I think... More

Just loved the place, can't wait to go back some day. You could go snorkling right from the beach right next to the resort. Excellent views. Also did diving, great teacher and also great views there too. Clean and charming bungalows. Laid back and truly relaxing atmosphere. We spent 5 nights there and would have stayed longer, but they were... More

Absolutely great, lovely well maintained small scale resort - extremely friendly and helpful staff (thanks Jonathan for helping out with boat transfers and tips for restaurants, snorkeling sites etc..). We booked the Sasak bungalows - really nice, impeccably clean and... More

We stayed at Manta Dive this February with our daughter and her boyfriend, all of us experienced divers. This is a wonderful place—we loved the pony carts that tripped up and down the sand road all day long. No large commercial developments—very laid back. The staff was extremely enthusiastic and helpful—it was very telling that when you walked by the... More

All lessons of the rescue course were well prepared and they made it seriously.You should start your rescue course in good physical condition because you have to save many lifes. Also the advanced course was good and i really appreciated to have my own... More
