Manawari Beach Resort

the location was good layout of bars and entertainment was good for samal island,, the location was also not far from the main town area which makes it good location, were other " resorts" and that word is badly applied to most on samal island , where they charge more than what they ever give in facilities also , room per night cost vers what the room provided is excesive priced , the room hot water could not reach 26degs , , shower head was so blocked with water decay that is barely worked , the main shower head did not work , the " bathroom" there is barely enough room to use the toilet and not hit your legs, sink placed on the wall was a likly to cause injury with the tap , again so corroded that there is next to no flow of water on the crubling wall , holding the structure up on the 2nd level, there is a 26" tv and kettle , the double bed is pushed so near to the wall a person ca not get out on one side , and room small The aircon did a good job , it is very small , no microwave, not doors on chipboard cupboards , its is the most basic room , where the plastic tiles move on the concrete floor , room had a glass sliding door where it was hard to close , would not line up with the frame. Entertainment is was good , but not when its the same thing 7 days a week , and the staff FAIL TO reduce the sound after 10pm EVERY NIGHT , regardless of anyone there or not , but make sure the glass door rattled on the room from the high base for 6 hours and only turned it off after 12 midnight, Theres is no built in pool on the property , but relies on beach tide to fill the front area for swiming , and low tide **** smells bad if you go walk near it i the morning , several ppl had skin rashes from swiming in the " Ocean " and i would never risk going in , unless you want a medical bill from water born contaminates NEVER EVER book this place for more than a 2 night stay , Pricing of food was high , and also were the drinks , but both ware of good quality , would i go back ? yes and no 1 night maybe cos of the enetertainment , and i could put up what the many , many short coming of a high priced place with low , low qaulity, for every other aspect of the property

Well, it was a great experience to stay there.The place was really wonderful good to those people who are seeking for peace & relaxation.The location was just nice not too far from the barge terminal just 5 min ride.The staff was friendly & very accomodating. I really love the Bali vibes..at night during weekend there was a party..a live band.Can recommend this beach resort

Great stay

I can’t say enough good about the staff

Wifi didn't work well. Hot water was non existent. Beach area had lots of rough sand and rocks. Room was so so. Entertainment was the saving grace. For the price I could have stayed at a better place.

Keep in mind this is a party resort. The staff and food were excellent. Grounds (area) were very clean. My room was very clean. My only concern was the band stage that went from 6pm to midnight everyday but Saturday that went from 6pm to 2am. Would I book the resort again that would be a definite YES. I had a great time !!!

Where do I begin? 1. We arrive early so knew we would have to wait for our room. BUT…they actually CHARGED us to enter the resort while we wait! Really?? Eventually they did give us the fee back as I complained to mgmt about that. Mgmt said they were sorry and shouldn’t have happened. 2. No hot water. We asked them twice to please fix it. No one ever came. 3. Very bad wifi. Even though online they claim to have wifi. We asked front desk and they admitted that wifi is very bad. 4. We made a point NOT to book a weekend as per the reviews, music is very loud. Regardless, they had a party every night until 1am. The bass is so loud that the doors actually shook and made noise. After two days we said no more and left. 5. They ask what time you want breakfast the next day. Who knows? I said maybe 830am or so? I don’t know. We went down to eat at 845am and were handed two plates with plastic over them. Stone cold. They simply make them ahead of time. They refused to give us a refund for the two days we didn’t stay but said “so sorry” about how loud the music was. It’s a party resort so if you want actual sleep at night, go someplace else. They sell day passes and cater to those people and not so much the actual hotel guests. You won’t be able to use the chairs by the water as the day pass people take them all. Seriously go someplace else.

Property is older but nice. Had live music on Saturday and a fire dance. The music was loud, even in the room. The room was nice, could use some upgrades to bathroom. Over all had a pleasant experience.
