"Pros: It's a nice place. There are multiple activities and performances to enjoy. They're environmentally conscious. Cons: Some of the staff members are not kind. The meal plan is a bit over priced" ~Paola

"Pros: Loved staying at Barefoot Manta. The dorms are surprisingly big inside in the tents and everyone is super respectful of each other’s space and belongings in there (and sleep!!). It was really easy to make friends as a solo traveller too and everyone just banded together during the day and night. The resort set up a table with candles away from the main dining area for someone’s birthday and Mr Tom serenaded us with his guitar, and they provided free prosecco too. Really personal and wonderful experience. Although the food sometimes took some time to come out, it was delicious! The lamb shank especially was a highlight. There’s a hike to see the sunrise but I think it’s better from the beach - quite a few people gather on the beach for it as well. It’s a really lovely ambiance! The staff were all incredibly friendly and made my stay memorable. I would love to come back here!! Personally, I didn’t do the manta trip as I had already seen them in another country a few months ago but during my whole stay, the mantas didn’t appear for anybody. It was a bit of a shame for them but that’s the nature of these trips - seeing them is not guaranteed! Cons: I really loved everything about it but getting back to the mainland and having my own, clean shower was definitely appreciated. The water pressure is bad in the showers on the island." ~Danielle
