鬼蝠魟海灣度假村(Manta Ray Bay Resort)

我們已經去過雅浦幾次了，總是有回家的感覺。從您在機場接您的那一刻起，直到您離開時，您的名字和笑臉都會迎接您。考慮到雅浦因疫情關閉三年後最近才重新開放，一切都還不錯。房間乾淨舒適，沒有額外的裝飾，例如新鮮的蝠鱝餅乾和鮮花。 我的伴侶在我們住宿期間度過了生日。度假村經理 Numie 為我們製作了一個最好、裝飾創意十足的生日蛋糕，這是我為慶祝這一刻而做過的。 水肺潛水當然是我們造訪雅浦島的主要原因。其他目的地，尤其是加勒比地區，正遭受「0ver旅遊」的困擾，非常擁擠，對海洋環境造成負面影響。在某些地方，看到死去的珊瑚和極少的海洋生物已成為常態。不在雅浦。潛水船小而快，最多可搭載 8 人前往地球上最好的潛水地點！幾乎每次潛水都能看到多種鯊魚、數十種鰩魚、凹頭鯊、鰻魚以及大量的傑克魚和梭魚，還有蝠鱝，這並不罕見！ 從海兔到小丑魚，宏觀/微觀生活同樣精彩！鱂魚潛水太壯觀了！ 專用攝影室佈局合理，每個站點都有一個安全櫃。您的裝備每天都會為您安裝和拆卸，然後掛在您自己的空間中晾乾。 不潛水時，您可以選擇許多正宗的文化活動，或者您可以在泳池邊喝一杯酒店內微型啤酒廠生產的冰鎮啤酒放鬆身心。 （按一下門鈴，一杯清涼的飲料就會立即送到您的手中）在這次旅行中我唯一不能給五顆星的是食物的選擇。有時候，餐廳的基本食材都用完了。這是一個供應鏈問題，隨著島嶼和貨運繼續恢復到疫情前的狀況，情況將會得到改善。 總的來說，蝠鱝灣度假村是一個令人驚嘆的目的地，我迫不及待地想回來！

2023 年 9 月 10 日，我剛在雅浦島蝠鱝灣度假村待了兩週回來。我們去參加了水下攝影比賽。這是我們第三次去那裡。關於它，我無法說太多精彩的事情。潛水很棒。度假村經營得很好而且非常友好。我們受到的待遇比其他地方都好，而且我們去過一些很棒的地方。我強烈推薦這個度假村的一切，從潛水、度假村到水療中心。我知道，儘管距離遙遠，我們一定會回去。請告訴其他潛水員這個美妙的地方。莎莉·博納維托

Just came back from my third trip to Yap. As before, my friends and I stayed at the Manta Ray Bay Hotel. The staff is competent and friendly, the location is perfect for diving, and the owner of the hotel, Bill Acker, went out with a dive boat every day that we dove. The hotel has just reopened after the three year Covid hiatus so we were expecting some glitches but everything went really well. The Mnuw is a fun location for a restaurant and the deck is spectacular in the evenings. The diving operation is first rate and the dive crew was amazing, special shout-out to Brian and Nico. Fabulous place to visit and this family owned resort is highly recommended.

I was very impressed how well Manta Ray Bay Resort and its Yap Divers affiliate weathered the Covid shutdown storm. Yap was basically closed off from the world for 2 1/2 years due to Covid travel restrictions before beginning to re-open in mid-late 2022. I had been to Yap more than 20 years ago , but never managed to make it back due to vacation limitations etc. I now have greater scheduling flexibility so chose January 2023 to return to Yap for a two week stay. Given how long the island was closed due to Covid travel restrictions I was more than a little nervous about how things might have been maintained after such a long time with no tourists. I was actually THRILLED with every aspect of my vacation. The hotel and dive operation were in great shape. I am not sure how , but they managed to maintain everything in good condition despite a long period without tourists. It was pretty clear that this was a well designed and well run dive resort prior to Covid and they were able to use that mentality to carry them through. My room (think it was a deluxe waterfront category) was spacious , well furnished and very clean. All the dive boats were well designed and ran perfectly. The two divemasters I used (Nico and Ferr, apologies for spelling ) were extremely experienced and helpful in achieving whatever my photographic goals were on each dive. I enjoyed the food on their floating restaurant/bar the Mnuw. United airlines is only flying to Yap every other week at the moment (theoretically returning to more regular service in April 2023), but I did want to note that several guests used Pacific Mission Aviation (PMA) to get between Palau and Yap (making a week long stay possible now ). Evidently they don’t have a formal schedule but are making fairly frequent flights (you have to email them evidently ). They seem to be pretty well known in Micronesia. A non-diving guest thar had worked in the islands for years swore by them. I look forward to returning to Yap and Manta Bay Ray/Yap Divers. Hopefully in only a matter of months if things go as planned.

The Manta Ray Bay Resort is my place to stay when I visit Yap. The staff are professional, friendly and will help you have a wonderful stay. The rooms are spacious, clean and include a mini-refrigerator. Meals are served on a wooden 3-deck Indonesian cargo ship over 100 years old that gives you a great views of the harbor. The food is delicious (especially their homemade banana bread); and they brew their own craft beer. The diving opportunities are some of the best in the world with big and small sea life (i.e. Manta Rays, Sharks, Napoleon Wrasse, Dolphins, Clown Fish, Nudibranch, Mandarin Fish). Other activities can be arranged to include snorkeling, kayaking, land tours, cultural events. Manta Ray Bay Resort takes good care of their guests and will pick you up and take you to the airport; arrange early check-in and late check-out based on your flight schedule.

An excellent place to stay, and great snorkeling services. Loved the meals. Room was tidy and well maintained. Pool was perfect.

Hotel offers everything needed, staff is super-friendly, diving crew is well organized and helpful. We were there at Yap day - a unique possibility to get to know some of the old culture, very relaxing

A beautiful resort made wonderful by the staff. This is a small island and this resort is unique with a great dive staff and facility. Weather unfortunately wasn’t the best our week we were there, but we would definitely go back and are planning to do so. The diving was amazing irregardless of the weather.

After long days visiting family in the village, it was nice to return to a cold beer and cool room. We were able to recharge with a good night sleep and head out new adventures every morning. Great staff and even better accommodations!! Thank you Manta Ray for a great stay
