Manana Resort and Marina

Gorgeous, new, amazing views and wonderful staff, some improvement suggestions

Pros: The room was beautiful, the kayak rental was convenient and reasonably priced, there was complementary morning yoga for Inn guests (on certain dates), the shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion smelled divine! They had some board games in the common hallway - which we discovered were brand new so we were the first to play with those! The staff were very friendly. They had some delicious healthy snacks in the room which was great given the remote location of the inn. The rooms were air conditioned with the remote in the room so you could set the temperature the way you liked and the bathroom had a fan and the shower was very spacious. Some parts of the garden was under construction but the area that was built was gorgeous! There was a restaurant on site but while we didn't try it, we appreciated knowing it was there in case we needed it (it was pricey and required booking in advance though).

Cons: The \

Lovely stay

Pros: Check in went smooth and Lily the front desk person was friendly and welcoming, would book again

Cons: The toilet in the room had to be fiddled with to flush once

Intriguing.

Pros: Breakfast was not offered. The room was beautifully decorated and extremely clean.

Cons: I did notice a funny odour that didn’t really seem to go away even after opening the windows. Being a light sleeper and late sleeper the room next to the laundry was not a good fit for me.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Everything was okay, in fact better than just okay...really good.

Pros: What breakfast? No one from the property ever spoke to us or welcomed us and did not tell us about breakfast. The location was lovely and the view fantastic. We would have felt more comfortable had someone from the property talked to us about the room and given suggestions. A magazine is impersonal and doesn't answer questions.

Cons: Manager or staff person welcomed didn't tell us anything about the property and surrounding environs. There was only one chair in the room. Not comfortable for one to have to sit on the bed.

Charming place with stellar views

Pros: Room was a bit small but well appointed, and decorated. The view was gorgeous! It seems like a sort of heritage property.

Cons: Because it’s an older property, the downside was even a little noise by the neighbours disturbed our sleep, there is no air conditioning

a wonderful couples escape for our 2 nights.

Pros: This place is a lovely peaceful getaway. It was so cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed our time out on the balcony just gazing off into the water. We only encountered staff once and she was very lovely. Bed was wonderful. Only issue we had was there are no screens on the windows so we could not keep them open to enjoy the fresh air. Minor issue overall.

Cons: Only issue we had was there are no screens on the windows so we could not keep them open to enjoy the fresh air. Minor issue overall.

A comfortable stay for one night.

Pros: We enjoyed the view from the balcony. The bed was very comfortable.

Cons: Would have liked a second chair. Borrowed the one in the hall for the evening.

Excellent

Pros: Very friendly staff. Reasonable rates. Beautiful location.

Pros: Beautiful location, very clean and homely. Friendly atmosphere

Quiet, comfortable, lovely location, I would love to come again!

Pros: Beautiful location, lovely view of the sea from our balcony, we watched tugboats moving log booms around towards Ladysmith, just across the water. Room was small but very clean and comfortable. Tea and coffee station in the room, much appreciated. Great value for money.

Cons: There was no restaurant or cafe on site, would have been nice to grab coffee or lunch there and look out over the water.
