Rating8.0Room categories split into two tiers: standard bungalows (Superior and Deluxe) spread across the island's garden and beachfront, and the Manta Exclusive Collection overwater suites. The standard bungalows range from 312 to 452 sq ft — adequate but not generous by Maldives standards, and reviews consistently flag dated décor. The overwater suites at 1,055 sq ft are a different product entirely.
Garden
At 312–409 sq ft, these are the entry-level rooms set among the coconut grove, either ground or first floor. Garden-view means you won't see the ocean from your terrace. The furniture and fittings show age in some units. King or twin configuration, max 3 guests. Adequate for a resort where you'll be outside most of the day, but don't expect renovation-fresh condition.
Beachfront
Same 312–409 sq ft footprint as the garden Superior, but with direct beach proximity and sea views from the balcony. The location upgrade is worth paying for over the garden side — waking up to the lagoon changes the experience materially. Still shows the same age as the garden units but the setting compensates.
Beachfront
452 sq ft, ground floor only, directly on the beach. The open-air shower is the signature feature — an outdoor shower with ocean views. Teak terrace with sun loungers. King bed, dressing room, sitting area. The beach access here is as immediate as it gets in the standard tier — you're stepping off the terrace onto sand.
Garden
Two garden Superior rooms joined by an internal door, giving 624–818 sq ft total. Each room retains its own bathroom and terrace. The sensible choice for families who want adjacent space without paying suite rates. Max 6 guests across both rooms.
Beachfront
Same interconnecting configuration as the garden version but on the beachfront, with sea views from both balconies. Best family option in the standard tier — the beach access plus the room flexibility works well for parents and children who need separate sleeping areas.
Panoramic Ocean
At 1,055 sq ft, this is a fundamentally different category. The suite sits on stilts above the lagoon with a furnished overwater terrace and direct ladder access to the water for snorkeling. Full bathroom with tub and separate shower, lounge area, king bed. Includes VIP check-in, breakfast room service, champagne service at the Manta Lounge, and one private snorkeling boat trip. Age restriction: 8+. This is the product for guests wanting classic Maldivian overwater luxury within the Club Med format.
Panoramic Ocean
1,055 sq ft with a master bedroom plus a separate single bedroom — the same overwater footprint as the standard Overwater Suite but configured for families. Children aged 8+ only due to the open lagoon access. All Manta Collection amenities apply. The private snorkeling trip is a good use of the included perks given the direct water access.
