We love this island!! This served as a belated honeymoon for us and if you are a couple or just like having a truly relaxing holiday, then this really is the place to go! We were there for 6 nights in April as part of our diving holiday. We could easily have stayed for 2 weeks. From check-in to check-out... More

Stayed at Manukan island for 4 nights. Great welcome and well furnashed chalets with very comfy beds, though agree with previous reviews bathrooms a little tired. The shower was good and it was possible to heat up water earlier in the day which was adequate for the two of us. Food was fine, large portions and good choice on evening... More

The resort is perhaps a 20 min boat ride from KK and certainly KK is very visible from the island. Reception is exceptional as is service during the stay The chalets are commodious with the only downside being tired bathrooms with poor grouting and leaking taps-a total contrast to the bedrooms and living areas which are beyond reproach. We never... More

We spent one night at the resort, specifically for the snorkelling. The snorkelling was poor and not worth the visit. We may have been unlucky but I doubt it. The service at the resort was mostly good, but there were some strange things. When we got off the boat, no help with the luggage. After we checked in the luggage... More

We visited Manukan Island to unwind after our trek in Mt KK and really like the almost-private resort near evening time. Amazing sunset. Snorkelling was not too bad especially at a very affordable rate. Our villa was located quite far away from the reception area but that was fine. We were greeted hospitably upon arrival, handed welcome drinks and souvenirs... More

The villa consists of a large downstairs lounge with sofa and chairs, dining table and fridge, with a large shower room at... More
