Overall Ratings & Reviews Manta Raya Hotel

Excellent service! Although had directions how to get there it was quite a challenge.They need to provide better and more visible signage! It was just an ok stay

Manta Ray is a wonderful hotel off the beaten track. The hotel has wonderful rooms with Seaview, the restaurant is excellent with an international cuisine. The owner and chef happily tries to accommodate specific wishes. The beach is right there, nice sand, water is warm. Also good swimming pool. The waives are relatively high and break close to the beach. No phone cover but excellent wifi. A number of other restaurants are nearby. The only thing I found negative was that this hotel does not allow paying directly via Hotels.com and does not accept credit cards. Payment either as cash or via PayPal with an extra surcharge. A deposit is needed to secure the booking. Given that there are many scammers out there, we found it stressful to pay in advance via PayPal to somenbody we do not know. I

Beautiful view, remote location

Location

Everything was wonderful. Only wishes it was a bit closer to beach attractions.

Humm, no comments. ????

I had a great time staying here in September. The ocean view from my room was amazing and the sound of the waves was wonderful. The food was deliciously prepared by a local lady who was super friendly. Alan, the manager was awesome and helped me with my car that was stuck on the muddy road due to the rain. Amazing experience all around!

The service and location were amazing. The owner and staff were friendly, kind, and helpful. The location was steps from the beach.

The beach is beautiful and the room was large and comfy. Great balcony too. The food is very good but basically the restaurant is your only option since the hotel is isolated and the road is a challenge. And the food is not cheap compared with your average Mexican restaurant. Personally, i would have liked to have a fridge for snacks and drinks. But a really beautiful and peaceful setting.

Very relaxed hotel on a beautiful, isolated beach, great for disconnecting. The waves at the beach were too rough to swim during our stay, but still beautiful to watch and relax. The staff at the hotel was friendly and helpful, they organized taxis and tours to nearby towns and beaches. Food at the restaurant was excellent.

Managers and staff very friendly, like being at home with family. The place is beautiful and excellent to relax. Gourmet mixed with Mexican food delicious.

Amazing place. Swiss owned and run as you’d expect. Location is stunning. Food is excellent and dining on the patio is delightful.My girlfriend had a special request at dinner - handled with a deft touch. We’ll be back!

We had an amazing stay at Manta Raya and would definitely like toreturn. The experience was very well organized by the staff from the moment we made the booking to the moment we left the property. The hotel is located directly on a beautiful beach located in a small cove. The beach is very quiet and most of the time we were the only people on it. We were able to swim in the ocean which was great. The waves break on the shore and it becomes deep quite fast so if you are not a strong swimmer it may be difficult to enjoy the water. Luckily there is a pool right in front of the hotel which we also enjoyed. The food and service was excellent - we looked forward to each meal and were impressed with everything we ate and drank. Kudos to the kitchen and serving staff! We also loved the fact we could enjoy snacks and drinks on the beach and being able to run a tab made it so much easier. Reto was very organized and made sure our stay was good. Salchi and Manta Raya are a slice of paradise and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to simply RELAX for a few days.

Everything is to like about Manta Raya... intimate Paradise - very attentive personalized service - food outstanding!!!! Staff simply amazing!!! This place and location fit is like a glove!!!! Cheers to Reto and staff!!!! See you next year!!!!

Super communicative team running the hotel. The food was great and the space was lovely and very quiet. Remote and peaceful!

It's a piece of paradise! Quiet bay with even quieter beaches nearby. Outstanding food and service. We felt like we were at home!

The atmosphere, the staff, our view from our room...everything was amazing! The staff made us feel incredibly catered to and special. Many thanks to Reto, Grady, Kim and Ilrena for the services that were provided on our vacation. Also the house pets. Mancha and Pedro were adorable! A special thank you to Grady for our spectacular meals ...everything we ate was wonderfully delicious! This is the place to stay, a small slice of heaven on earth!

Quiet hotel excellent. Staff

I'm happy join the chorus of fans of the Manta Raya. This is a fantastic beach hotel to disconnect by the beach and relax. Staff are attentive and very pleasant, and the food is awesome (try the habanero salsa!). Note the surf on the beach can be rough (not swimmable during our stay) and there is a somewhat bumpy dirt road to the property so it is a good idea to drive a car with high clearance or take a taxi.

This was one of the best places I have ever stayed for peaceful relaxation. The food cannot be beat. Every meal was delicious perfection. The room was clean and comfortable with a fantastic view. Everyone on staff was friendly and helpful and never got frustrated with our almost non existent Spanish. Loved every minute!
