The hosts Alexy and Lovina were incredible, making us feel welcome and at home.

Unfortunately, the mosquito nets in the bungalow had holes, and I struggled with numerous bites at night. A small plug-in anti-mosquito device was inadequate for the whole space. Additionally, we had limited hot water during our stay, especially during rainy days, which was disappointing.

manomano lodge was great! our studio was clean and spacious, with a lovely outdoor area perfect for relaxing. snorkeling right off the property was incredible, and the nearby market had everything we needed. alexi's tips on local attractions made our visit even better.

Consider bringing your own mosquito repellent for a more comfortable stay, as the provided options may be limited. The black sand beach is truly a hidden gem for snorkeling.

absolutely dissapointed, the missing sea view in the studio was just the beginning. wi-fi was slower than molasses, was expecting easy surfing, not in this swamp. oh, and a complimentary welcome drink woudl ve been nice but I guess that’s asking too much.

It was just a prime choice for a city break in Papara with best value. The hosts were super friendly and shared amazing tips for exploring local sights. Watch out for the mosquitoes. bring your repellant!

A Delightful Stay with Plenty of Charm!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cozy split-level studio. The outdoor space was perfect for relaxation, although be cautious with personal items. Dining options nearby offered delicious local cuisine. Highly recommend exploring nearby beaches during your stay.

Our stay at Manomano Lodge was delightful! The beautiful black sand beach right outside offered amazing snorkeling. We enjoyed the spacious room equipped with a well-stocked kitchen, and the hosts were exceptionally warm and helpful during our visit.

Limited dining options nearby.

Recommend it for modest travelers

The hosts Alexy and Lovina were incredible! I felt welcomed like family, their kindness made my stay even better. The fact that I had that black sand beach all to myself was surreal! And Lovina’s breakfast? Out of this world, totally worth it!

It wasn’t exactly the cheapest spot out there, but the experience made it all acceptable.

Well-appointed kitchen allowed for creative cooking. Spacious split-level studio with good layout made for a comfortable stay.

Lack of a sea view from the studio was disappointing. No mosquito net or repellants created a less comfortable environment during the rainy season. The hot water supply struggled during bad weather, and internet connection was slow, typical for various places but still frustrating.

stayed for 2 nights at manomano lodge and it exceeded my expectations! the snorkeling was amazing and the helpful host shared great tips for managing the currents. i loved the calm vibes and the attention from the staff made this family holiday very special.

no air conditioning in the studio.

It was just a reliable pick for a passing visit in Papara with fantastic value for money. The bungalow had a nice view of the sea that made for a relaxing experience. Make sure to keep an eye on your belongings while drying them outside.

Plus, the foot massages were a fantastic way to unwind after a day of snorkeling the unreal reefs. Just a little odd smell coming from the upper bed, but it didn't ruin our overall experience. 🌊
