Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not good, I couldn't use the pool zone for a day and half, because a wedding, i couldn't sleep the first day cause the wedding. The front beach has rocks. Next time I prefer to pay more in other hotel with other amenities, or stay in my house, where i can do the same things this hotel offers, like stay at the room.

Thank you Mantahost!! You rescued my disaster of a beach vacation. I had made a reservation at another hotel and the conditions were so horrible I had to go somewhere else. The hotel is beautiful and the staff all treated me like a VIP. I had a private balcony overlooking the ocean and the room was well appointed with a mini fridge, bottled water and a very comfortable bed. The infinity pool is very nice, with plenty of chairs and space to relax. Great breakfast buffet and dinner at the restaurant. Restaurant and bar staff are all so friendly. Special thanks to Priscila and Teddy at reception, who were especially helpful.

It was really a great experience in every sense. Everyone was very kind and helpful, breakfast station was great. Food is delicious. The rooms are a bit outdated although it seems they are working on upgrades. I would definitely come back for business, pleasure.

The late night lady that checked us in was the most unhappy person. She had a very negative effect on our long awaited vacation. And she charged us 50% more than our reservation price. (She blamed our travel agent fir the price discrepancy, but after further investigation: this hotel scammed us). The room was musty smelling. The shower was slippery as ice. We had to beg for more towels and bathroom paper. The door opening to the balcony squeaked so loud we hated opening it. The restaurant food is just OK, however the Servers were all very professional. But other than the fact that this old Howard Johnson hotel is in a good location; We can NOT recommend staying here.

We (Family of 4, Two Adults, 1 kid and a Toddler) travelled to Manta for a quick holiday 4 days and stayed in Manta Host. Very helpful and kind staff. We needed an extra bed for my small kid and the hotel provide it without additional cost. We payed late checkout for a convenient extra amount considering our flight to Quito was scheduled at 8 pm. We rented a car and parked it in the Hotel facilities without any problem. Lots of places to eat great food at walking distance. Definitely a place to come back.

We traveled here from Charleston, South Carolina. We used a reputable travel agent to set up our reservations. We arrived here, to the Mantahost Hotel late at night and was greeted by the most unfriendly night manager. She appeared to be a very unhappy person and in the 30 minutes that it took for us to be checked in: she never smiled once. She was by far the most unfriendly employee of a resort hotel that I have ever encountered in my years of traveling. She, representing this hotel, proceeded to explain to us that our reservation price would NOT be honored and that we were required to pay additional money: increasing our room price by 27% . We showed this night manager our reservation tickets "CONFIRMED by both, our travel agent & the hotel". However the night manager said that it wasn't showing up in her system with our agreed upon price. She also said that our reservations for a beach front room would NOT be honored and that if we didn't want a parking lot view, we would have to pay extra for the upgrade. We kept showing her the emails confirming the price and that our reservations were for a beach front room. The end result: she would not give us what we paid. And being almost 11:00pm. We paid the extra money under protest!!! The front desk manager was RUDE, UNFRIENDLY & CHEATED us out of almost $200. Next she increased the Taxes: from $9.00 to $36.00. (a 400% increase). Her explanation for this upcharge was that the reservations were made in my wife's name and not my name. The restaurant breakfast buffet was not very good. We just ate the fruit. The housekeeping was terrible. We are currently working with our travel agent to get our money back: but this company doesn't care about this situation. They SCREWED us!!! By the way: this was originally a Howard Johnson's TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE 😑

The rooms are okay, and the ocean view is the best part of the hotel. Besides that, some staff are quite friendly. But the people at the reception really need to learn some customer service. Specially when you can pay the same price and stay at Poseidon or Sail Plaza, which are a lot better than Mantahost (I've stayed in all three). Reception is not available to call through the room's phone (they wont answer), and when you ask anything, they always answer in a rude way. They look tired and disturbed. If you dont like your job please find another profession, but dont mess up my vacation. I have never been in a 5 star hotel where the main desks refuses you to give enough towels or access cards to the guests. Crazy. Overall the place is not awful, the ocean view saves it, but they should tell the truth, this is not a 5 star hotel. With some friendliness and kindness they could improve this rating, but so far, really disappointed on how they treat guests over here.
