A hidden gem in FSM!

A wonderful hotel with fantastic attentive staff. Beautiful decor, having meals on a refitted ship adds to the experience. Yap Divers are located inside hotel and they took care of our gear and tanks. Beautiful dive sites, lots of sea life - manta rays, sharks, turtles, and etc. The trip exceeded our expectations, will definitely come back.

Beautiful manta resort

We had an amazing time here in Yap at the Manta Ray Bay resort! The scuba diving was phenomenal, the equipment was in good working order, and the staff is amazing. The mantas were plentiful and we could see them both scuba diving and snorkeling. We also did the land and kayak tours. We heard October gets a lot of mosquitoes, but there were only a couple when we went. We splurged and got the room with a hot tub which was worth it.

Wonderful experience
Wonderful experience
My daughter and I returned to the Manta Ray Bay Resort after staying there almost 20 years ago. We thought our first stay there was wonderful and this second stay was even better. The hotel is well maintained with spacious rooms. The entire hotel staff is friendly, always smiling, pleasant to talk with and ready to do whatever needed to be done to make our stay pleasant. Darlene, the manager, is fantastic! She was very helpful with questions I had before we booked and always ready to assist during our stay. Diving was excellent. Seeing the manta rays was incredible. Kudos to our dive team (Irwin, Nico and Awu)! They could not have done more to make our dive experience top notch. Cannot say enough good things about them. All in all, our week at the Manta Ray Bay Resort was amazing.

I loved my time on Yap.
I loved my time on Yap.
I had wanted to visit Yap, since I did a dive trip to True and Palau in 1994, and finally got the chance to go with a few friends. I was really surprised by how great the trip was. My whole adult life, as an avid dive traveler, I had always heard about Yap in reference to the manta rays. What I was completely surprised by was the absolutely pristine coral reefs, which is becoming a rare occurrence worldwide. The hotel was great, and the staff very friendly and helpful. In fact, I was surprised how friendly all the locals were. My friends and I got into the habit of walking to Oceania, as small restaurant about a alf mile away from the hotel, and every driver and pedestrian we passed, waved and said hello. On our first day on the island we elected to do a tour, which the hotel arranged, and loved seeing the islands culture, especially the Men's houses and the Stone Money Banks. I have been to so many "dive meccas" that are overrun bye tourists and cruise ships, and this is not Yap. It seems to be very quiet, friendly and welcoming. The hotel is great, the island is great, and the diving is superb!
