Manta Raya Hotel

My husband and I had high expectations of Manta Raya after reading the amazing reviews and we were not disappointed. Every detail was taken care of so we could celebrate our anniversary with no worries, starting with a pre-arranged pick-up from the Huatulco airport. We were delighted with the tranquil, intimate setting and warm welcome. The room was spotless, spacious and thoughtfully designed, with special emphasis on the balcony overlooking the ocean - furnished with a hammock and super comfy chairs. The soaps smelled so good, the bed super comfy, the AC and fan quiet and hot water in under 30 seconds. Everything worked as it should, plus the service was so|accommodating and the food was delicious with healthy options. We loved everything about Manta Raya and can’t wait to go back! Thank you for a flawless Mexican vacay!

Everyone at Manta Raya was wonderful. It is a very relaxing place. We loved being there, all we did was swim, read, and eat. The menu has lots of delicious options. Highly recommend if you want to be in a secluded location. Also they have water filters so no plastic which is a very nice amenity. Thanks for having us.

We spent a week at Manta Raya during the low season and loved it. The beach is gorgeous and mostly empty. The small boutique hotel of 7 rooms is as friendly and accommodating as we could have imagined. The staff, Fernanda and Santi, were fabulous! If you want to stare at the ocean, jump in the swimming pool, read books, take walks and feel far away from the world, this is a great vacation spot.

I had been to Salchi before, and from the very first moment when I visited Hotel Manta Raya, I decided that next time, I wanted to stay there longer. And that’s exactly what I did. From the very beginning, I noticed that the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful — they respond quickly to emails and inquiries. |I really enjoyed the food. I love their coconut shrimp and the way they prepare the tuna. The hotel had a family-like atmosphere, yet every guest had their own space. I also agree with the all other reviews - the location is fantastic! |I really like this hotel and will definitely return.

Third time we've visited. If you seek a quiet and simplistic vacation, then this is your place. With equal parts Mexican food and hospitality mixed with Swiss management and efficiency, the outcome is a relaxing, simple vacation that most seek but rarely experience. One note: the spiral stairway to the rooms can be a little challenging. Select the ground floor room if you have mobility issues. Book it, experience it, enjoy it.

Honestly, this place is blissful. Off the beaten track literally - as you drive in you start to wonder where you're going as you wind down this crazy road. But when you come down the hill and look out at the stunning beach you know you made the right choice. We came for five days intending to explore the area and never left - a perfect place to relax and chill out. The Manta Raya team are some of the loveliest humans you'll meet, their food is exquisite, the beach is stunning and the whole vibe is designed to make you relax. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. Highly recommend getting the beachfront massage - and keep your taste buds turned on, you'll love the ever-changing menu.

Manta Raya was an unexpected delight, and exactly what I needed. I felt so nourished and held in everything it offered — its comfort, the kindness and warmth of the staff, the beauty of the environment, and the legitimately delicious food that this hotel offered. It’s a peaceful place, and the beach is gorgeous. I am looking forward to returning to this special place, if not just to eat their utterly scrumptious fresh baked bread and guava jam.

My husband and 22 year old daughter stayed four nights at the Manta Raya last month, and we did not want to leave. In our travels over the years, only rarely do we find a super special, true-five-star place, and the Manta Raya is one of these places. What makes it so wonderful? The warm and friendly staff and owner, the remote and beautiful location, the outstanding food, and the super comfy and inviting room with amazing views. (And, of course, the pets!) All these are why we hope to return soon.
