    “Not recommended for families”

    This would be much better suited for a honeymoon than a family with children. The seaplane in itself took almost 2 hours from the capital. If you are looking for good, flavourful food - we do not recommend here as it was very mediocre, especially for the price. You don’t have much of a choice as it was a rotation of 3 restaurants (we stayed for 5 days), and though the website says different - the actual restaurants that would host food would only be 2-3 depending on the day. We understand there was a sort of standard that flavour must be accommodated - however, certain things like japanese food is very hard to miss. The chef was able to cook us something alternate, and that was the only time the food matched the price. The buffet was also ridiculously priced for something that wasn’t varied enough. There isn’t much to do on the island and we felt we were constantly ripped off. If you aren’t ready to spend a handsome amount of money, you won’t have fun. It is designed in that way so you literally could not do anything. For families I recommend you look elsewhere closer to the capital like SaiiLagoon. We wanted to go to a local island close as well but was so ridiculously priced $700++. Please have some research on green tax before coming as well. The staff was very friendly and sweet. We will say that. Very beautiful beach, and very clean.

    Really nice. Our second day. It’s not the seamless and outstanding 5-star world we maybe hoped or even expected. Let’s see whether there are any scalings..

    Dear Guest, thank you for taking the time to review and sincere apologies for the delay in responding as with most resorts over the last few months we, like our guests have also been finding our feet with the new normal. We very much appreciate your feedback and have taken the opportunity of temporary closure to carry out some refresher programs on the island before our re-opening. We are very grateful for you staying with us and hope you and your loved ones emerge from this difficult time unscathed. warmly Karen on behalf of the JA Manafaru team
