This place is AMAZING. The bungalows are really cute, very clean, love the outside shower and toilet. They give you plenty of glass bottles of drinking water. The king bed is really 2 beds put together but they're still very comfortable. The AC works like a dream, instant chill. The property is very well kept and everyone is quick to greet you with a smile. The dive team is absolutely fantastic! Britt was the instructor for my boyfriends pool class and took us both out to a dive site in the afternoon. She was patient, really sweet, and very safe. It's a top notch enterprise with a great laid back vibe that's really encouraging for new time divers and welcoming to certified divers like myself. The place is a 5 minute (or less) walk from the harbor and you're right where all the actions is, but we didn't have any problems falling asleep from surrounding noise. I highly recommend staying here for Gili T (also the bar has great prices, especially compared to surrounding restaurants and bars).

We really enjoyed our stay at Manta Dive resort! The room was very spacious and clean and the staffs were friendly.
The resort is suitable for both divers and non divers as the main reception and rooms are located at the back of the property. The location of the resort is a bonus as it is right on the Main Street, close to the ferry area, restaurants and nightlife. Despite it's prime location, the environment of the resort was quiet hence we had no trouble sleeping. Manta dive cafe is also a good place to chill in between dives. Would definitely recommend this accomodation to anyone visiting Gili Trawangan!.

Great facilities, including an awesome pool out back for lazing around and a restaurant/bar setup on the main road with great food, great tunes and perfect for watching the world drift by.

Good Budget Hotel

The hotel location is very near to the harbour.
It is surrounding with a lot of cafes and bars, and also very close to start point of any kind of water sport in the island.
The room is quite spacious and very clean. The air conditioner works very well to compete the very hot temperature from the outside.

Only one thing that this hotel should improve, which is their breakfast. The portion was small amd they didn't have quite lot variations. The taste was nothing special too.

Overall, highly recommend

We came to Gili T not knowing quite what to expect and so, conservatively booked one night at Manta Dive. After speaking with the staff, we ended up enrolling in an open water certification and extended our stay to 4 nights. We had initially booked a lumbung bungalow and were disappointed to see there were none left when we arrived. But as it turns out, the pool view rooms were the best as they have just been renovated with modern outdoor bathrooms and lots of outlets for your electronic devices.

Pros: close to everything in town, amazing diving school, breakfast (free delicious juice!!), lots of outlets in the room, helpful staff, beautiful compound, clean rooms, nice menu and ambiance - and so much more.

Cons: a bit noisy (close to major club & mosque), DON'T reserve a garden view room if you're a light sleeper, service is extremely slow, you'll be given towels for two days.

Overall, highly recommend.

First of all, we were placed in the furthest bungalow when it was necessary
Right next to construction started at 7 in the morning and stopped at 6 so couldn't have a nap during the day
Went to have breakfast and they had Nasi goreng on the menu but when asked for it said no they couldn't make it.
And the door to get into the actually place omg you could not open it on the first go hardest thing to lock and actually get the key in and out of it.

Relaxed bungalow

Bungalow we stayed in was great. Very clean and had plenty of room.
The rooms are tucked away from the main street of Gili T which was nice, but the pool was in full view of the street and was often occupied by their divers so was a bit awkward to use. The entrance also was in the middle of construction. This is a very relaxed place to stay.

No problems with Manta Bungalows stay!

We spent 3 nights, room spacious, outdoor shower once used to it was excellent. Airconditioner worked well. Only water on first day complimentary. We dived with Manta Dive and could fault them in any way. I needed a little extra assistance during the whole experience and was helped by staff. I would definitely dive with Manta Dive again. Everytime you walked past a staff employee u were given a nice smile. The bungalows are just how they look in the pictures. At night the music was a little loud so if you wanted to u could stay further back with bungalow 8 being the closest. There is a pool with shade cover at one end to get out of the sun. Breakfast was either eggs n bacon, pancakes, fresh fruit, museli n yoghurt with cappinco coffee, and assorted teas. The bungalows are 1 minute from where the fast boats come in and in the centre of the busy strip. Lots of places to sit and have dinner or a drink. Power went out a couple of times on the island but came back on very quick. I would definitely stay there again.

Good for short stay

Regarding location, Manta is located 10m from the port, in the middle of the main strip, there are a lot of restaurants, bars near by.
Mini mart next to Manta opens until mid night (maybe 24h?) So very convinience.
On the other hand, its loudly until midnight, also loudy qulan from mosque which is near by wake you up in the early morning.

Service level is low.
I stayed for 2nights but towel was not changed and no bedmaking.
They have no hot fresh water shower.

In front of Manta bungalow, there is Manta bar on the beach and friendly diving instructers who are working at Manta dive are drinking every night.
I heard they get free drinks from the bar.

In conclusion, I recomend this hotel for short stay especialy when you have to leave this island in the early morning.
If you want to get relix stay, you should not stay here.

Worst hotel stay during our trip

We arrived late into the hotel and the gentleman who took us to the room gave us no information at all about breakfast, the hotel or the area. He was obviously keen to dump us and head out to one of the nearby clubs. The hotel is next to a very loud bar and the room was very loud until gone 3am. We were woken by builders next door at 7am and a member of manta staff collecting coconuts from under our bungalow. Lots of people sat around in the bushes. The wifi didn't work in the room and when we asked reception to help us they said go to the shop which was closed. Terrible customer service. Likewise, my partner and I did not go diving and the staff seemed to take the mic and judge us every time we walked through the dive school for not participating. The pool was disgusting - not sure I would get in that to learn how to dive. To top it off there was a cockroche in our bed...horrendous few days. only saving grace was the breakfast was nice.

Very confortable and very close to everything. Just right out the dock and many infopoints for booking your excursions for the islands. The boats are right there. Anyways there are many carriages you can take to go anywhere. Not a big deal. One weird thing: we rent a bike for 1 day, we needed 2 more hours, maybe less (the day after we had leave). For those two hours they charged another full day. Not much flexibility.

Super fint sted at bo, god morgenmad og fedt at man kan prøve at dykke! Der er super hyggeligt helt generelt! Dog mangler de lige at tilføje de ekstra ingredienser der er i maden på menukortet i baren. Fx bestilte jeg “sharing nachos with beef” og beskrivelsen indholdt kun mozzarella, creme fraiche, salsa og guacamole, men “beef” delen var altså en omgang chili con carne der kom ovenpå. Smagte helt fint, men ville nok godt lige have vidst det:)

Jättebra, vi bodde i bungalow vilket var över förväntan. Väldigt fräscht och otroligt med utebadrummet. Ända nackdelen var att AC var väldigt kall och gick inte att ändra temperatur på så det blev imma på fönstren.

Bra frukost och framförallt gott kaffe.

Läget på hotellet är också det bästa, nära till de bästa strandhänget, bara kliva ut för bra restauranger och nattliv om man vill ha det och smidigt att hyra cyklar för att ta sig till solnedgången.

Desverre var ec ikke av det beste, omstillinger på timer slik at det ble veldig kaldt, vi pleie ha 23-24 GR hele tiden, her gikk den ned til 29 på natta, da ble jeg desverre forkjølet.
