Summary: The island is beautiful and the staff are top notch. They are all so friendly and always smiling.The main reason for going was the snorkeling and diving which did not disappoint. The corals were spectacular.

Summary: However very hard to get to, we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days on the island. It was quiet and safe and we felt very much at peace in our bure, thus the added bonus of its inaccessibility to the noisy public. The Fijian staff are amazingly friendly and welcoming. If there was a negative it would be the food/cooking quality. The breakfasts were outstanding but the buffet-style dinners and lunches were too bland and overcooked and became repetitive!

Summary: Overall, we had a lovely experience here, and will definitely be back. Their staff and customer service were great, and the facilities were wonderful. The large oceanfront burres were fantastic, and we would urge everyone to spend the extra money on them. The coral reef here is truly exceptional and is the biggest draw for us. Absolutely stellar destination for snorkeling. We really appreciated that the manager of the facility was always around, and interacted personally with the guests. While we will definitely visit again, there are a few things I hope they will change. First, they were not great about dealing with allergy information - we had to remind them of my wife's allergy at every meal. We would suggest labeling the dishes in the buffet with allergen information, which would make things much easier. Second, while the burres are terrific, they are difficult to live in when the weather is bad. For example, in a downpour, you will get wet trying to use the outdoor bathroom and toilet! At night, you have to find your way to the toilet in the dark, since the switch for the outdoor toilet is in the toilet! In the smaller burre (which were in the first night), in bad weather, you will get wet while using the outdoor toilet, since it is not covered or protected from the rain! Another minor issue we encountered was that we never got hot water in our burre (despite telling them multiple times about this). Just be aware of these issues, and you will have an amazing time here.

Summary: Barefoot Manta exceeded expectations in every way! The staff were friendly, kind and attentive. The food was quite good, drink options did the job, but you're really going here for the activities. The reefs that surround the resort are nothing short of spectacular. Teeming with marine life and outrageously beautiful coral. We can't wait to return next year!

Summary: After wanting to visit here for a year we finally found last minute availability. Unfortunately our visit left us disappointed on some fronts. The arrival and instant demand for full and total liability waiver to be signed ( including resort negligence ) prior to allowing check in, a room move disguised as an " upgrade" that wasnt, and late night noise by the bars and backacker set were problematic. Im yet to check the if liability waiver may violate our travel insurance. Waivers of this type should be sent in advance of arrival. The location is epic. Manta and great marine life. Spectacular snorkling. Clean rooms. Beautiful beaches. Food was overall pretty good but did become repetitive. I wanted to love this place. I did love Vee the manta.

Summary: Barefoot Manta is a wonderful, small resort on beautiful Drawaqa Island. The staff are wonderful, friendly, and make you feel at home. The bures (and from what I heard, the dorms too) are clean and comfortable - being able to walk out straight to the beach is a joy! The food is great with lots of veggie options, and the bar makes some tasty cocktails. The reason I chose Barefoot Manta was both for swimming with the Manta rays, and for the Marine Science centre. Swimming with the rays is amazing! And I really enjoyed the talks at the science centre. Also, the reef at Barefoot Manta is probably the healthiest one I've ever seen in my life - the snorkelling is amazing and the diversity in coral and other sea life is really wonderful. I cannot recommend this gem of a place enough, it exceeded my expectations by a lot, and I would very happily return (and for longer) to this amazing spot!
