What Jessica C likes about Manta:
Loved this restaurant! It's inside of a gated hotel, sort of off the beaten path. It's high end and elegant. Food was rich and well portioned. I would say my favorite dish of the evening was the dessert, the Bombay Alaska I believe it was called. I would come back just for this alone. Service was great and atmosphere was beautiful. Located right on the water. A really great experience for the sunset. Definitely recom... View all feedback. What Stephanie F doesn't like about Manta:
1. Left waiting for table for at least 25 ' 2. Seated in high traffic table, an area that should not even have a table 3. Food mediocre at best 4. Hostess extremely rude 5. Wine came 2/3 of the way through our meal 6. Salad sitting in puddle of dressing 7. Denied request for coffee-told coffee machine was down as they were putting up chairs for the evening. 8. Overpriced, many other restaurants deserving of your business! Will never return.

Manta is one of the best restaurants on this island. The view, the food and the service were all great. The restaurant is a bit pricey, but it is to be expected...
