No, we do not include the international airfare from your home town to Belize in the package rates. However, our packages do include the cost of the round trip local airfare between the Belize City International Airport and Dangriga Town as well as the boat ride to the island. All international flights to Belize land at the only International Airport in the country, the Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (Code: BZE). You will need to book your international flight to Belize City directly through the airline or through an agent of your choice.

No! Once you have made your reservations with us, we will be happy to make the appropriate local flight reservations for you, just email us your international flight itinerary. We generally book this local flight the month prior to your arrival.

Yes, all meals are included in packages as well as unlimited free local beer, soft drinks, and local mixed drinks (mixed drinks made with local gin, local coconut rum, local vodka, and local rum only). Also, we do have brand name alcoholic spirits available for purchase at the bar and we have a Happy Hour most evenings during which drinks are half price.

Imported call drinks (i.e., mixed and frozen drinks made with imported liquor) and wine are not included in the packages, however a bottle of wine is included in the Honeymoon & Romance package add-on. And we do have a Happy Hour most evenings during which a limited supply of imported drinks are half price.

This is highly unlikely due to the generous portion size of the meals on Manta Island! We also serve complimentary afternoon bar snacks.

Yes! We are able to accommodate any dietary restriction whether vegan, vegetarian or gluten free.

The local liquors that we typically stock are naturally gluten-free in that all distilled liquors are gluten-free even if made from wheat, barley, or rye, and we stock liquors made from ingredients that do not naturally have gluten in them, such as potatoes for vodka and grapes for wine and sparkling wine. Exceptions to this would include cases of liquor cross-contamination in facilities that process products containing wheat, barley, or rye or when the liquor is flavored. In Belize, most liquor manufacturers do not label liquors “gluten-free.” If you are gluten-free for lifestyle reasons, our local liquors are generally fine to drink. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, and are gluten-free due to health reasons, we cannot guarantee that you will have no adverse reactions to the local liquors we stock. We do not stock gluten-free beer.

Pina coladas are included as a part of the Unlimited Local Bar amenity. Wines are not included but we do carry a limited selection available for purchase.

Our package rates do not include gratuities. We have developed a suggested gratuities guide in response to guest feedback. Please bear in mind that it is meant only as a guide for you. The actual amount is left totally to your discretion and dependent upon the quality of service. We suggest between USD$550-$650 per couple for a seven night stay for the entire staff. Operating Manta Island is a team effort which involves a lot of behind-the-scenes staff along with our awesome front line personnel and we believe that everyone plays an important role in your stay with us. Should you choose to leave a gratuity this is left completely to your discretion and is based on the quality of service you receive. There is nothing too small or big and anything is appreciated. Because we are all inclusive property, we advise against tipping individually on a daily basis so that you do not have to worry about carrying cash/credit cards with you while you are enjoying your vacation. Instead, we ask that if you choose to leave a gratuity, you leave a general tip amount on your signed invoice and pay for it with cash or credit card at checkout. Because it is a team effort, these gratuities are pooled every two weeks and distributed by the accounting department. If you do feel the need to leave individual tips, we strongly suggest that you finalize your tips at the front desk upon checkout where you are able to write your specific instructions regarding your tip amount and how you would like it to be distributed along with your signature. Utilizing the front desk as the contact point is essential to ensuring that tips will be sent to our accounting department, which manages proper and transparent distribution through the staff’s bank accounts.

Yes, you can split your vacation between Manta Island and one of our sister resorts by adding a Sister Resort Stay
Add-On to your package.

Unfortunately, you are not able to do this as we are all separate resorts and therefore we would require you to cancel with us in writing directly (adhering to our cancellation policy) and thereafter booking with our other sister resorts in accordance with their booking policy.
