“One of the best things about Micronesia and the hotel, is walking down each morning and being greeted by name”

We had a fantastic time at the Manta Ray Bay last month. We enjoyed all our dives, especially being able to dive with Bill and Patricia. It was great of Patricia to "hang out" with me around 30 feet while I conserved my air so I could stay with the group instead of sitting in the boat while the surface was so choppy. I had worried about my recent back...

“The most relaxing place I have ever been to. Loved the themed rooms, such great staff. Thanks for a memorable Christmas”.

Bill ...I took up diving late in life and I’m thankful for the 20 years I got.....but I surely do miss it ! Without a doubt Yap Island is my favorite Micronesian destination....The people, the diving,of being made to feel like part of a large “family” at Manta Ray Bay Resort. (I know you foster this atmosphere) ...memories to last the rest of my life... Have a great New Year,...

Dear Bill and Patricia, Vikki and I want to congratulate you on the Taro Leaf Spa. The design and construction are wonderful and the garden, waterfalls and soothing music all provide the right setting for relaxation. We have had massages at various spas all over the world. Hundreds of them and none have been better than what we just received from your people. Patricia, you have trained the ladies very...

Hi Bill and the team at the Manta Ray Thanks so much for the wonderful time we had in Yap..still raving about it and have already passed your details on to a group of Aussies that we met on our flights home. Also have highly recommended you to our travel agent DiveFish and Snow here in NZ. We have DVDs to exasperate our friends and family with!!! It is between...

Hi Bill, Sometimes it takes a little bit longer things to handle – so it was with the great stay at the Manta Ray Bay hotel. Although we are traveling a lot – it was a very unique experience for us. We enjoyed the amazing dives – especially Vertigo, Alex Alleys and Yap Cavern - as well as the nice rooms, your great staff, the food in your ship restaurant...

Hi Patrica and Bill Happy 25th Anniversary to the Yap diver! Yap is still our favorite place for diving. We always tell people about it and show our diving pictures. We have made short movies shot by Gerry and show it to our friends. And now with hydroponic farm starting in Yap, wow! Gerry has tried small hydroponic kits in our apartment. Not so good. Happy Anniversary! See you next...

Good morning Bill, How amazing to hear from you. Our visit to Yap was undoubtedly a highlight of our diving career and certainly as far as the Pacific is concerned. We thoroughly enjoyed our sojourn with you and wholeheartedly endorse all the sentiments expressed in your e-mail. Your crew and staff were absolutely outstanding and your personal hospitality, was wonderful. The only difficulty for us, is that it takes approximately...

Dear Bill, Wow! We returned from our stay in Yap. We just cannot say enough good things about our trip to Yap and Ulithi and especially our stay at Manta Ray. As a matter of fact, we are looking into booking another trip to Manta Ray Bay Resort (hopefully in December 2011) along with a trip to Chuuk (this time around). Your resort was just amazing and the staff was...

Ridiculously great service and facility you have at Manta Ray Bay, Bill. It will be reflected as such in my article. Of the four places I stayed at in Palau, Chuuk and Yap, Manta Ray Bay Hotel was the best.
