"The staff went above and beyond to help us after we had some travel difficulties which made us initially miss our stay. Patricia and the whole staff are amazing. They helped us with reservations for restaurants, taxis, and boats. The resort is obviously top notch, but the staff is what makes this place really shine. Very thankful for the hospitality shown to my wife and I from everyone we worked with."

The Manoah Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Everything about this hotel felt luxurious. The staff was amazing especially the young man on the beach with the towels and at the beach bar. Our room had the most incredible balcony and sea view and the largest bathroom I’ve seen in a hotel. We had one major issue however and that was the tv’s. They kept disconnecting and we had to call the maintenance 4 times for this issue. In the end we had no tv as the issue was persistent and was tired of them having to come to the room and it not working. This was stressful as we couldn’t watch the World Cup and no form of entertainment for the evening. For such a large price, we feel like some form of reimbursement should have been presented to us."
