"Why merely disembark day-trip speed boats for a rushed photo-shoot of Pulau Mantanani Besar’s marine protected coral reef island? Instead, indulge at your own pace on white sandy beachfront chalets like pampered VIP guests. Savior Mantanani’s teal blue aquatic splendor by basking in comfort while feasting on four tasty meals a day. That was exactly what my partner and I embarked on for six whole days. We cherished every moment of our time here. The only regret was not staying longer. We departed with watery eye melancholy as our speedboat sailed off. Looking backwards, the collective smiles of the attentive food & beverage team lingered in our hearts as our paradise island shrunk into the distance. Our final verdict: Mantanani Island was even more spectacular in person than the photogenic postcard pictures. This thanks in part to the wonderful individuals immersed in Sutera’s cheerful hospitality culture. ‘Small paradise, big soul’ sums up our experience here. "

"Thankyou Fred and SP for an amazing stay. The island is stunning, but our trip is most memorable because of you guys. The environment at Greenhouse eco lodge is warm, inviting and peaceful, made even better by the hammocks swinging between the trees, the beautiful meals cooked by SP and the lovely people we met from all over the world. We feel very lucky to have had the chance to stay here"

"The lodge is very nicely located at the remote island of Mantanani. It has all the necessary amenities and the resort itself is quite clean. The nature on the island is beautiful and i would recommend anyone to take a boat tour for going snorkling/diving. The coral reefs with their beautiful fish are amazing to see. One negative point is to see all the plastic waste on the island island and in the sea. The local villagers living there just throw their plastic waste in to the sea with no regrets! This is quite heartbreaking to see unfortunately. "

"If you're looking to get away and enjoy the island life, then Mantanani Island is the place to come. I am so incredibly happy that I chose to do a homestay rather than stay at one of the other lodges. Rina was the most beautiful host and despite the language barrier, she showed me true hospitality. Every meal was prepared with love and care, and eating out on the deck overlooking the ocean. Living within the heart of the kampong, I saw what life was really like, something that you don't get from a hotel or hostel. I would not hesitate in going back and staying with Rina again. "
