Awesome for snorkeling right off the beaches. Easy access to sunrise and sunset beaches. The Bures' on the sunrise side are breezy but great for dry cleaning clothes and sleeping cooler. The food was great although I was expecting more fish dishes. Lamb, beef and chicken are the staples, the rice is cooked to perfection and very flavorful. Staff are great and will show you culture and happiness.

Out of our 2 weeks in Fiji, this was our favourite place to stay of the trip! We absolutely loved it there! We are a family of 3 with a 9yr old and we booked a Beachfront Bure, it was perfect! We faced the Sunrise beach side which tends to be a little windy at times. But it was great to hear the waves crashing not far away as you go to sleep. They added a single bed for our child to sleep in and we still had enough space. The outdoor bathroom was kind of neat! We hadn’t experienced that before. The beds were way more comfortable than I was expecting, we had a nice little lounging area outside to relax and were steps from the beach! This resort is on a fixed meal plan, there is no other option. We paid $129 FJD/ adult and $65 FJD/ child. We were quite happy with the meals that were provided. Meals are set up with in a time frame. Breakfast and lunch buffets were set up. Go early for the best selection! At lunch they show you the dinner menu for that evening and you make your selection so they know what to cook in advance. There were usually 3-4 options, 1-2 being vegetarian. Kids had their own repeat menu to choose from for dinner and ate at the same buffet for breakfast and lunch. The resort itself is excellent. We really enjoyed the size because it wasn’t too big. There is no pool here but you have 3 beaches to swim and snorkel from. Sunset beach always seemed to be the calmest but snorkeling is best during high tide. We absolutely loved our stay here!

Very good snorkeling right off the beach on the sunrise side and the sunset side was sheltered from the wind. Manta swim was great. Food was good and plentiful!

Barefoot Manta is a delightfully tranquil small island resort. Everything is within 1minute walking at island pace. There is enough to do to keep one occupied for a couple of days, without overwhelming one with choice. For someone who lives in a city, being able to walk to the beach with a cup of coffee in hand was a very relaxing experience. Watching the sunset with a drink in hand from the Sunset bar was a delight.
