Breakfast has very limited, flies around salty eggs and muffin which is not very good. Dinner has fisherman sell seafood. We want to buy one fish $20 from them however hotel kitchen cooking fee $66 per 1kg. Hot water supply in the room is bad, only few drops sometimes. One day they claimed to stop the water from 1pm to 5pm for fixing water system, at the end water supply back on 6:30pm. They have daily snorkelling in the morning is free to join, the spot they pick is safe and clean. Island has local people living on another side but I don’t recommend to visit because the house was broken and many rubbish. The island view is beautiful, sea water is clean, friendly staff, lovely dogs and cats. Make sure you check about the boat schedule before book the room. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2c7b92a2-ab0b-464d-8897-2024f62aaffc-1747126460289.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c98ad90f-2aac-42b9-abda-a0bb3e09523f-1747126461163.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d4801149-6a22-4587-a745-3624fb095e7c-1747126459566.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e58aff8d-7009-49b5-98ca-e3dc25b856a7-1747126460458.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ying Hei Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dale Robert 18 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Dale Robert Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### TOMOYA 28 Apr 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities 海しかないです。食事は焼きそばとチャーハンを頼んでおけば無難に美味いです。 ##### TOMOYA Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bryan 14 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### beautiful island with incredible staff The most beautiful island with incredible staff but the food is sub standard and the resort is in need of some refurbishment. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A3CE708A318A1C9122E043E62C32747B59E54B1B1710415768766.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bryan Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Thomas 29 Oct 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness #### Worst hotel for eco despite beautiful setting Let’s start with the good. The reception and restaurant staff were friendly and helped us where necessary. The beach was naturally beautiful and there was plenty of space to relax. The room was nice, clean and spacious. Only staff grumble was the spa which we booked and then they never reserved a slot for us so we had to wait a while for it to be set up. Now for the bad. Away from the main beach area that was a lot of plastic waste, and cleared foliage dumped in refuse bags, clearly by the hotel as due to the set up and geography they were the only ones with access. On our first morning we got out of the hotel boundaries (certainly not signposted with the intention for people to do this) and we walked around the island to the local village. People were friendly and smiley. We got to another beach area and what can only be described as a plastic grave yard awaited us. It was horrific. Not just single use plastic but nappies, tyres, old furniture, fishing nets. So what has this to do with the hotel? Other than being part of the local community and seemingly doing nothing to help, they ran a polluting generator 24/7 where the village had solar panels. But the worst thing by far as the clear signage not allowing us to fill up water bottles. We were even stopped from getting water at lunch time as we had gone ala crate and not for the buffet. The ONLY was to drink water was to buy small Plastic bottles every time. HOW IS THIS ALLOWED?! The whole thing was very upsetting ![Local beach (not hotel resort)](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/30A5CC87E500BD1A643B7DD3098368C4751EE95C1698547513412.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Water only allowed for buffet ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C096F14D94771216C30345628717AD08EFE533261698547513291.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![When it looks nice](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/40542F487865944F2E7C950651748669D57BC96B1698547513284.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ahyung 28 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 즐거운 여행이었다 직원들이 매우 친절하고 룸 컨디션도 좋았습니다 ##### Ahyung Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Dukyoung 2 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 자연친화적 :) 너무 예쁜 바다 ##### Dukyoung Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Our stay was very relaxing.

Instead, indulge at your own pace on white sandy beachfront chalets like pampered VIP guests. Savior Mantanani’s teal blue aquatic splendor by basking in comfort while feasting on four tasty meals a day. That was exactly what my partner and I embarked on for six whole days. We cherished every moment of our time here. The only regret was not staying longer. We departed with watery eye melancholy as our speedboat sailed off. Looking backwards, the collective smiles of the attentive food & beverage team lingered in our hearts as our paradise island shrunk into the distance. Our final verdict: Mantanani Island was even more spectacular in person than the photogenic postcard pictures. This thanks in part to the wonderful individuals immersed in Sutera’s cheerful hospitality culture. ‘Small paradise, big soul’ sums up our experience here. ![Extraordinary dining at Sutera Matanani Resort](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D6D8F2206B32E637B776A641AC1BB57198E62A9E1576732363837.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Chalet L3](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0B076B2A7EFFFC9D49F8ED75C16055475C155EB41576732398510.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Teal blue beach on North side](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A54224B5E0AFB299F5CA7A2D65937B5E5ED6AE241576732364487.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Eastern tail-end of isle.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7A72EC3C96B7559876571BE3EB05CCE9781B96731576732366180.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Virginie 7 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Très bon hôtel Superbe hôtel dans une île qui pourrait être magnifique si il y avait moins de détritus sur les pourtours de l’ile !!

Literally waited nearly five hours trying to reach management while the Magellan front desk was extremely unhelpful and just put up a "not our fault" attitude and Mantanani wouldn't answer a single call. Only positive experience was that the hotels.com representative was willing to help us book another hotel and refund us the difference while I am still waiting for this hotel group to process my refund for the cancellation on transportation (which they say will take 2 working weeks, while they happily took my cash and booked the transportation within 30 minutes) and the manager's email is unreachable for some reason. ##### Siu Tsun Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryuichi 2 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice place!!
