Great staff providing great service - well above and beyond - particularly Monith Kumar on the night of the storm. Beach bar close - great Thai restaurant just up the hill and a very relaxed feel. Loved the rooftop kitchen/bar which provides a view that is unsurpassed. Monith’s curries cannot be missed….To quote a very famous actor…. “We will be Back!”

We stayed here before moving onto a resort, however Pacific Lagoon Apartments was half the cost of the resort and my family agrees we liked it better.
The reasons we liked it was everything was there, you can kayak across the lagoon to an expensive resort and hang out there for the day, snorkel in the lagoon, catch a ride into town with a local cheaply.

The best area to stay in Manga'Asi is along the main coastal road, particularly around the areas leading into town from the north and south.
This stretch offers convenient access to the town's facilities while providing direct proximity to the coast. You'll find a mix of accommodation options, often with views of the ocean, and it's where most of the local eateries and shops are concentrated. The main road itself, though unpaved in parts, is the central artery for getting around.
For couples seeking a relaxing retreat, areas slightly outside the immediate town centre, but still along the coastal road, are ideal. These spots often feature bungalows or small resorts with private beachfront access, superb for quiet evenings and enjoying the natural beauty of the island. Many offer opportunities for snorkelling right from their shores.
Families will find the central coastal area of Manga'Asi practical. Hotels here often have larger rooms or family bungalows, and being closer to the town means easier access to local markets for provisions and community spaces where children can observe daily life.
When is the best time to go to Manga'Asi?
The best time to visit Manga'Asi is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.
During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days with lower humidity and very little rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the island and enjoying outdoor activities. The temperatures are pleasantly warm, typically ranging from 22°C to 28°C, providing comfortable conditions for relaxation and adventure alike. This period is superb for those looking to maximise their time enjoying the natural beauty of the region without the interruption of tropical downpours.
The shoulder months of May and October are particularly good for travellers who prefer slightly fewer crowds while still benefiting from excellent weather.
