Staying at Manta Dive Resort was an amazing experience. The resort is very well located, and for anyone arriving at the port, it’s just a short walk to the hotel. The breakfast was delicious, and the resort operates a dive center where we had the chance to dive with instructors Mike and Kimmy. They were incredibly attentive, ensuring our first dive was done with the utmost safety and care. Another great highlight is the pool, which was perfect for relaxing. During this part of the trip, I was working remotely on Brazilian time, which is 11 hours behind Indonesia. I had to work in the café area, and the internet was excellent. I was able to hold all of my meetings, and they kindly allowed me to use that space throughout the night. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and treated us so well. Despite being located in the heart of an area full of bars and restaurants, we slept soundly every night with no disturbance. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend Manta Dive Resort!

I spent a week at this resort and couldn't have asked for better. 💙 The staff (especially Edy, Jol and hendra) was always very kind and available for support. The food was excellent; in fact, I almost always ate at Manta Dive Resort. The room was very large and clean. The rooms also have a small balcony overlooking the pool, which is very convenient. The location was perfect: close to the port and various shops for tours or restaurants, but at the same time very quiet. Despite being on the main road, there was no noise inside the resort. The services were very good. Bicycle rental: the quality of the bicycles was better than those offered by various shops and the prices were the same. Scuba diving: a unique experience. I took the open water course with instructor Gede. In short: it was an unforgettable experience. I recommend everyone to try at least one day with the resort's instructors. After the trial day, I decided to take the course because it was amazing.

Something that could be improved (even though it's already good) is the breakfast: a more varied menu would be better.

The room is very beautiful also the half open bathroom. Also the outdoor area is very nice and you can directly rent a bike a you can get your Laundry handled. The location is very good for starting for diving/snorkeling trips and also arriving on the island. But the location also hast its disadvantages: it is SUPER LOUD.

I stayed three nights. one night the party was right in front of the hotel which woke me up till 3 am. The other nights there were also parties but a little further away but still very loud. So even if the bed was really comfy, I didn't have a good night sleep. No hair dryer

Our stay at Manta Dive Resort was nothing short of luxurious. The bungalow was spacious and impeccably maintained, with comfortable bedding and a modern bathroom. The staff at Manta Dive Gili Trawangan Resort were exceptional. Everyone—from the reception to the restaurant staff—was friendly, efficient, and genuinely attentive to our needs. Their recommendations for local activities and dining spots were invaluable and always on point. Whether you are here to dive, unwind, or explore, Manta Dive Gili Trawangan Resort promises a memorable stay. I left with a heavy heart and a promise to myself to return. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Gili Trawangan

Will be nice to provide some room service facilities

This hotel is perfectly situated a short walk from the main pier, but the best part of this hotel is the amazing people at Manta Dive Shop. They take safety seriously, and dive masters are attentive and keep the group sizes small. The rooms are large, with a private outdoor shower, AC and TV’s. I suggest you read through the information package in the room as any questions you may have are likely already answered there. The breakfast is high quality with selections of juice, fruit, chia seed with fruit compote, & choice of eggs w/ bacon or Indonesian rice/noodles. To top it off it also includes a choice of coffee, cappuccino, or Latte all made just like you would find made by a high priced barista in Italy (what’s not to ♥️?)

When I arrived it was a warm welcome by the staff on check in desk, very helpful and willing to go that extra mile. I checked in at 10:45 and had a snorkelling trip booked in at 11 which was just out the front of the hotel. Luckily I made it and my room was ready as I arrived before check in time. They were more than happy to look after my luggage as o had emailed them day before and they responded quickly. The bungalow was amazing & had everything you need, a plug for all points, a shampoo, conditions and shower gel. So many towels and the rooms were air coned. I loved it and was truly Bali experience. The poll is nice and sunbeds but not much sun and it’s quieter a small and cute complex. I wouldn’t spend a whole day there. Fell in love with the bathroom area it’s stunning!

In the morning I ordered some breakfast and unfortunately I didn’t like it and I asked if I could swap it and I just got looked at. However, they did change it and was really impressed.

Best location you can have in Gili Trawangan, right next to the harbour. The staff is friendly and the pool and rooms are pretty nice. The dive courses you can do at the hotel are a must do if your interested in diving.

When you come to Gili Trawangan you have to be aware that the island only offers transport using a bicycle or horse taxi, the horses seem to be suffering and it is something we absolutely disliked. If you come here, just rent a bicycle at Manta Dive. Every thing is very close.

The hotel is short walking distance from the boat arrival point. It has a great pool, our room was right next to it, so it was ideal. They offer a range of diving opportunities, my husband went to dive twice with them and said it was one of the most comfortable dives he ever done as the instructors take care of everything and you're literally few meters from the beach. Everyone was very helpful, we rented bikes directly at the hotel as well. The food was very tasty, nice breakfast, and also it has many nice restaurants and bars all around. Would totally repeat our stay here!

The pictures don't paint an accurate portrayal of the vibe – it's so much better in real life. The pool area is surprisingly tranquil considering it's proximity to the main street and front restaurant, which was always reasonably pumping. The free breakfast ran for 3 or 4 hours I think and there was never any trouble finding a spot to sit. A great view overlooking the entrance too, great for people watching and just relaxing. They even did a vegan scramble which my partner and I tucked into everyday over the course of our five day trip. The staff were super friendly, smiling and greeting you as you passed them throughout the day. One day we had organised a boat trip with another company and when we told them they quickly supplied us with a cooler bin and ice so we could take our own drinks on board. They sold us some beers too. Can't rate their service enough! They were also extremely accommodating with holding our luggage and organising an extension of our stay when all the ferries back to Bali were cancelled. There's also 17 cats that roam around they look after - very very cute addition. We would easily stay again. It was affordable paradise and so close to everything. Would highly recommend heading down to La Cala bar and restaurant. One of the nicest spots to eat, drink, swim and unwind amongst all the Gili T chaos.

Figuring out how to enter the resort from the main road was a bit confusing as you have to pass through the front restaurant and around the diving pool. Down a narrow, paved path (bit awkward from wheeled suitcases), you'll find reception tucked away on the side. We probably wouldn't have figured it out if it weren't for the random guy who saw us struggling and kindly led us in the right direction.

The location was just 200 meters from the port, thus, we could easily carry our luggage to the hotel without hiring horse carts. The location is central to all clubs and eateries. The place was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was good. They provided glass water bottles which could be self refilled near the reception. So you do not need to buy water during your stay. Bicycles were available for rent.

A downside of the location is that the area is very busy and not suitable if you are looking for a quiet location to relax.
