Hello Bill and Patricia,

Just a quick note to say a huge thanks for a great time. It was the best adventure! We all had so much fun, especially Laura who is this week gaining her Masters Cert. I'm sure she'll never forget her 21st!

I can't believe we were there and didn't want to come home. We'll definitely be back...who knows when.

A job on Yap would be fantastic - I'd scrub dishes, write reports, teach school, whatever. There is so much more to explore. It was so different from other islands we've been on - the history, the culture, the LOVELY people - it will take a while to get over.

It was so nice to stay in a family-run hotel. It is a very special corner of the world.

Again, thanks, it was a blast.

Good morning, Bill,

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that Marcia and I and our guests had a wonderful visit with you and your staff at Manta Ray Bay Hotel.

We like the additions to the hotel, especially the "Mnuw." It was very pleasant to enjoy drinks and dinner sitting outside and enjoying the view. We were also very pleased with our rooms.
More than all of that, though, was the treatment that we received from *all* your staff members. From Henry and Roxy at the front desk, to Derrick cleaning our rooms, to Theo, young Peter, and Richard doing the land tour and the kayak tour, to the two Juliets and Josie in the restaurant, the service was first-rate. They were all friendly and knowledgeable about Yap and all of us felt we learned a lot and had a true glimpse of Yapese culture. We tipped them all in thanks, but we want you to know how memorable they all made our stay.

I also want to mention how terrific Manta Ray Bay Hotel is now. I've always liked the place but they've done a multi-million dollar renovation (partly due to the typhoon two years ago and partly due to a desire to improve) and it's simply hands-down the nicest dive resort you could probably stay at almost anywhere in the world. Bill Acker has done a phenomenal job in making this a lovely diver-friendly place. The rooms are huge and gorgeous, there's now a swimming pool, the dive shop area has been greatly expanded to include multiple gear-washing troughs, camera-rinsing troughs, a huge gear drip-dry rack, individual dive lockers, and a really great camera area that includes lockable camera stations. And the staff goes out of their way to make sure you get what you need. More details will come in the trip report but suffice it to say, Manta Ray Bay is setting a new standard for the industry.

Hi Bill

My son, James and myself had a spectacular time in Yap. We saw many mantas (just like you promised!) ;>)

We got lots of pics. Your dive guides were great, especially Nico. It was nice to meet you, even if it was only for a minute! I appreciate how you treat your guests. Everything went amazingly well with no problems on both Palau & Yap. We will probably not be able to afford to go on such a trip again to Yap but we certainly will promote your resort to every diver we meet! But tell them they must stay longer than we did!!! ;>)

All the best

Whilst travelling half way round the world
We reached the Isle of Yap,
Where we found a taste of Paradise
Called Manta Gold (on tap)

This liquid golden nectar,
Brewed exclusively by Bill,
Is best consumed at nightime
Whilst you eat and chat and chill.

On board the floating restaurant,
A dhow they call Mnuw
We were served our daily rations
By a friendly tireless crew.

But don’t forget the diving
There’s a load to see and do.
The mantas are pure magic,
I’m sure you’d love them too.

It’s not just sharks and turtles,
If you’re patient and you wait
At dusk, along the shallow reef
You’ll see mandarins as they mate.

So travel halfway round the world
To reach the Isle of Yap
And find that taste of Paradise
With Manta Gold on tap.

My group had a wonderful trip to your part of the world. Despite the fact that we were located at two resorts in Yap...we had a marvelous adventure. The members of the group that stayed accross the road were envious of our location because they all felt that it was so very comfortable and more directly responsive to us as divers. Well, what would they expect...a dive resort for divers designed by divers!

I really appreciated that your staff is such a hearty representation of the Yap people. All too often as "eco-tourists" we go to a place and pump our money into some international corporation...and in the end I know that only a tiny bit of it ever gets to the people we have gone to visit. The smiles and willingness to share culture was always evident in all your staff. Thank you.

Now of course, we enjoyed your Mantas. Our visit was during the middle of an extended windy period and the channel was blowing around and visibility was reduced. Nevertheless we had multiple mantas on every dive and they were just as awesome as we had hoped. And the mandarinfish are a true delight...I felt like such a voyeur. I came away envious of the abandon with which they celebrate the sunset each day. Do you think that could ever catch on among the human species (here in Washington) NOT?

I want to particularly commend you on the village trip that we took (the members of our group staying at Trader's also joined us.) We felt like guests in the village rather than tourists. We felt welcomed and were happily asking questions and sharing thoughts with Stan and the group of younsters dancing for us. It was a very special treat. While no one ever asked us...we were aware that the village raises money for educational, health and cultural purposes by its hosting of tourists. My group wanted to be extra generous in offering money for the scholarship fund...and we did. I later hoped that doing this was the right thing...perhaps the tour guides could make this clear at the start of the trip.

I loved Manta Ray Bay. You have done an amazing job and are to be commended. The Mnuw was all I knew she would be. I had read every bit of your log on her refitting and journey to Yap. It was like stepping onto a familiar deck to be aboard. I would give my eye teeth to have joined on as crew for that journey. I continue to hope that once I am able to retire (four years and counting) I will find some wonderful dive location like yours willing to hire an oldish lady to guide divers. I will look for the help wanted sign on your website. In the meantime I will plan the next trip.

Again many thanks...

Howdy from Wyoming.........yes, there are a few of us that dive here.

We were guests are your fabulous facility the first part of October. The accommodations were great as well as the food. The boat captain (Henry) and divemaster (Patrick) were wonderful. Everyone was very nice.

We had a wonderful experience in YAP.

The mantas, mandarin fish and crocodile fish were awesome.

Thanks for a great time.

Dear Bill,

I just returned from a very enjoyable stay at the Manta Ray Bay Hotel
last week. I thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and restaurant, and wish I
had had time to enjoy the pool. It is gorgeous. I also enjoyed the
water bed. I was there to put on a 2-day workshop on Typhoons, Disaster
Preparedness and Climate. That Workshop went exceptionally well.

Your staff did a great job, and I want to pass my appreciation to them.
Please do that for me. I especially want to thank Josie, Maria and
Maria in the Mnuw restaurant.

Hope to see you again in the near future.

Sincerely,

Bill,

We are already talking about coming back to visit you.

Our first stop was on the Odyssey and Truk Lagoon, but we all agreed the Mantas were way more exciting than the wrecks.

Thanks again

Dear Bill,

I don't know the words to thank you for the wonderful time I had at your fabulous resort. I've re-lived my week with you a thousand times and cannot get the magic of Manta Ray Bay Hotel out of my head!

I was so looking forward to diving with the mantas, but I never expected the gorgeous wall dives, reefs, Yap Caverns, the Mandarin Fish, OR the adrenaline pumping shark dive! Yap would be a fabulous dive destination without the mantas, but with them?!?!?...Absolutely magical...

I can't say enough about your staff and resort. I was made to feel welcomed, cared for, and "at home"...this was truly the most magical trip I've ever taken.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart and can't wait to return!

Fondly Yours,

Dear Bill,

I want to thank you and your staff for taking such good care of the Canvasback team. This was the first time that I personally stayed at the Manta Ray and now I can understand why it has always been the place to stay and why there are groans from everyone when we have had to consider a different hotel in which to stay.

Everyone at the Manta Ray were so hospitable and accommodating. Wolfgang took such good care of us that the entire team is still trying to take off the extra pounds that they gained in Yap.

Freddie was a wonderful dive master. I'm going to bring my son and husband over to get certified.

Thank you so much for your willingness to help us when we are in Yap. You and your staff are as much a part of our team as we work in the hospital. The Manta Ray makes it great for our teams.

Hope you have a great holiday (do you celebrate Thanksgiving?) - we're looking forward to coming back!

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you at Manta Bay hotel and Yap divers for making my vacation a VERY special one!!!

You promised mantas and certainly gave me way more then i had expected. Only 5 mins into my 1st dive i was blessed with my 1st encounter! Nine mantas at one time, UP CLOSE and personal!!!

Dive after dive seemed to only get better.

I have come home with over 200 shots - none of which were poor enough to delete!

Memories were had that will last a lifetime!!!

Thanks again!!!

I just had the best week of my life at Manta Ray Bay Hotel celebrating my 60th birthday. I did it all...with the gusto of a hound dog.

I did manta and critter dives with Larry "Liveaboard" Smith and Dr. Dre.

I went on an unforgettable offshore fishing trip with Bill, the Yap Anglers Fishing Team and 500lbs of fish that literally jumped into the boat.

I took a leisurely kayak ride with Patricia in the mangroves to see the canopy springing back to life after Typhoon Sudal.

Best of all, I got to share it with way too many interesting people, both guests and staff, who are now all like family to me.

That's what makes AckerWorld so great. It's not just a resort, it's your home in Yap everytime you get there. Needless to say, the friendly staff had to drag me, kicking and screaming, to the airport when it was time to go. I cannot thank you folks enough.

I love you guys,

Yona, Guam, July 2004

It wasn't until we were talking to the cabin crew as we sat on the plane on the Palau runway that we learned that the island of Yap had been hit by a typhoon three weeks previously. As we walked from the plane through the Yap airport, we saw the first signs of how hard the storm had hit Yap. Blue tarpaulins covered the roof and became a feature on many of the buildings and homes that had been wrecked by the wind.

We were unsure what to expect as we drove to the hotel as much of the vegetation has been hit really hard, roofs of houses lay where they had been tossed and debris littered the sides of the roads.

What a surprise! The hotel was already fully functional although still battered and bruised in many places, the temporary restaurant served fabulous choices of food three times a day and the bedrooms were dry, clean, comfortable and the air-conditioning was working. So no worries there.

Our next concern was how hard had the dive sites been hit? Would there be any of the manta rays around that we had traveled 11,000 miles to see? How much of the corals and underwater life would be left?

Second Surprise! We had 11 fantastic dives. Saw enough mantas to last a lifetime, stored up memories of huge corals in a myriad of colors and saw sharks and turtles on many of the dives. As for the rest of the fish, they obviously hadn't heard of the typoon as they were in abundance in a wide variety of shapes, forms and colors.

We had two great guys on the boat, Mattias who had all our kit ready for us on every dive and was there to help us on with our equipment. He also gave the requisite haul onto the boat at the end of a tiring dive and took care of the equipment once again and Chomed who guided us on the wonderful dives never tiring of pointing out the more unusual and sometimes obscure creatures that we missed.

Yap is not a island to be missed and we both hope that we will be able to return sometime. Whatever you've heard about recent events on the island, it is probably not true. Yap IS alive and flourishing.

Sincerely,

Pat and Paul Kilroy
Towcester, Northmants, England, April 2004

Bill,

Reflecting back on our recent stay in Yap, we had a fantastic time at your hotel, and the diving was unbelievable. Dive Master Chomed escorted my family to some of the most amazing dive sites on the island. The abundance and variety of sea life is remarkable. While moving to our next dive site, we spotted several mantas feeding in shallow waters. Chomed instructed us to ease into the waters. Immediately, we were swimming with mantas.

The dive at Mil Channel was (again) incredible. The 6 mantas performing their choreographed performance for the entire dive were awesome. The cuttle fish that joined us at our safety stop was over the top. But the most memorable moment, was Chomed offering our daughter a sea cucumber to hold. NOT IN THIS LIFE TIME!

Being one of the first divers to Manta Ray Bay Hotel after Typhoon Sudal, I was moved to see the sprit and character of the people on the island. The people of the island showed me they are moving forward, and that they will make things better. We greatly appreciate the quality of service and the genuine effort of all the people of Yap in making our stay comfortable. We look forward to returning soon.

Sincerely,

Walter Hackerott

I was at the hotel in February, and had a wonderful time. The people of Yap were very friendly and always greeted me with a smile. I was amazed at the ease at which they went through their day and awe struck by their spirit. It does not surprise me to read that they are sticking together and putting things back together. I realize that they hurt due to loss and they and all your staff will be in my prayers. I will be back to see them as soon as I get the chance. The people there left their footprints deep in my soul.

Take Care,

Dear Bill,

My husband, Mark, and I wish to thank you and your fine staff for all the kindness and consideration given to us during, and after, Typhoon Sudal. Mark and I were with the Zegrahm tour group that boarded at your hotel during the storm. We were sickened by the destruction wrought by Sudal. Mark and I feel deep sorrow over the losses suffered by your staff and all other islanders. We pray for all of you.

I wish to commend all the wonderful people at your hotel who took such excellent care of each of us despite the raging of the storm. Dina, Anna, Peter, Christoff, and so many others whose faces I remember but whose names I cannot recall...each of you remain in our grateful thoughts! I will always remember how your staff tried to keep things clean and dry, cook rudimentary meals under primitive conditions, and keep us comfortable during the storm. Despite their houses and possessions being destroyed, each one of your staff found time for a kind word for us. They never lost their composure. We were most impressed with their fortitude.

Logging onto your website's text and photos, I am relieved to see your hotel being restored to a state of normalcy. The photo of diners in the former third floor guestrooms brought a wry smile to my face. After the typhoon passed, I recall toasting the hotel with a pre-dinner glass of wine in the broken third-floor corner room. It is so good to see progress is being made!

We hope to return to Yap someday and reunite with all the fine people who cared for us as they would family during the typhoon. Good luck to all of you!

Best regards,

What a wonderful time. Pure magic. Thanks for the e-mail and all the love while at Manta. I'll be back it was a great, no fantastic time.

I did enjoy my stay at Manta Ray Bay Resort very much, thank you. The Mantas were great, our guides, John and Henry were also great. I liked the dives we did for the little stuff as much as the Mantas, I think it was called "Macro", it was full of Nudibranchs, Pipe fish, Lion fish. The Cajun Wahoo burger at the restaurant was the best, I had one everyday for lunch. I wish I had one now!

I live on the North Coast of Kenya, Malindi. I live on the beach in the marine reserve. I dive quite often; we do get Mantas, Whale Sharks, and a variety of great stuff but nothing like Micronesia. I do love to travel and dive new sites. Yap was tops!

Thanks again,

Mogethin,

I just want to quickly let you know how much our group (American Divers Internatonal) enjoyed our stay with you and the diving on Yap. I simply cannot say enough about the hotel and the diving and the dive guides.

I also want to compliment you on the airport greeting and transfers to the hotel. Of the three islands we visited, yours was the only one that was organized and "had its act together" as far as airport arrivals and transfers to the hotel and next days diving activities briefing.....then transfers back to the airport. What a pleasure!!

We want to come again!!!

Thanks again for a job WELL DONE!

Bill,

just a note to say thank you for running such a great place. My wife and I were with you for 4 days a few weeks ago and we had a wonderful time. Alex, Jan and Melody took good care of us and eating on the Sea Hawk was wonderful.
We thought Yap was just a pit stop but it is so much more.

thanks again, we will be back

Hello,

We just returned home from a recent dive trip to Palau and Yap in which we had the pleasure of diving with Yap Divers and staying at the Manta Ray Bay Hotel. We had a fantastic time in our too brief visit to Yap, and wanted to thank you for the wonderful attention provided by the hotel and dive shop staff. From the minute we stepped off the plane and were greeted by the staff, we were pampered with every question and need answered. They do a marvelous job. That midnight Saturday flight has to be brutal on the staff. The manta diving was as exciting as expected and we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful wall reef diving. Special thanks to Theo, who gave us an excellent tour of the island and a brief glimpse into the lives of the wonderful Yap people.

We are already looking forward to our next trip Yap!

Charles Banister and Heather Weldon.
Alaska, March 2003

Our group of 14 spent 7 days on a liveaboard at Palau, and 4 days on Yap; the time on Yap was definitely the best! The dinners we had on the Pirate ship were wonderful, especially the celebratory dinner after Gary and Toni got married on the beach on Dec. 2nd! And thanks to advice from one of your divemasters, we had what everyone said was the greatest dive of our lives our last day, when up to 75 mantas came by the cleaning station late in the afternoon (I'm sure many were the same ones, but still!!). Yap is definitely one of the places I want to go back to (and spend more time on the island itself).

Dear Bill and all at Manta Ray Bay,

Sorry it's taken us so long but we just wanted to drop you a line to say a big Thanks to everyone at Manta Ray Bay for making a holiday of a lifetime exactly that! Never have we been made to feel so at home by absolutely everybody involved and it shows in the great atmosphere amongst guests and staff alike. Much as I hate to single anyone out, as everyone went above and beyond the call of duty, I would like to say a special thank you to Alex. He dived with just the two of us most afternoons and was not only great fun but a fantastic guide. Also big thanks to Steve who made our evenings special on Mnuw - a wave from the hot tub on our balcony would ensure two of his very special coconut cocktails greeted us as we boarded for our evening chewing the cud with Peter, John and Bill. For Bill M. Thanks, we are both still suffering serious fish sandwich deprivation symptoms and talk in awe about the mangrove crab ravioli & Yapese bouillabaisse.

Fortunately I have a few fantastic pictures to remind me of all the superb diving. Say Hi to the Mantas for us and we will see you again soon.

Once again, thanks to you all,

Kelly and Nick.

Dear all,

Just a note to thank you for the most superb week diving in Yap. Every one worked so hard to make it a good week so particular thanks to John and Nikko, Freddie, Mark, Jackie, Peter and Bill. I saw so much fantastic wildlife and had so much fun. I never dreamed the week would include sighting a pair of sperm whales. You live in a most beautiful place. Once again many thanks,

Kind regards,

Dear Bill,

Charlie and I had a fantastic stay at your resort. All of your staff members were extremely pleasant. I can see why your resort is on the top ten list. Being business owners ourselves, we were amazed at how well things were operating in your absence. From the maids, cooks, waitstaff, chef, dive masters, boat captains, everybody was fabulous. We were very blessed to see several manta rays multiple times, the mandarin fish, and we very much enjoyed the village cultural tour. Being able to meet the local people and learn about their customs was very special. We look forward to visiting you again someday.

Many thanks

Dear Bill,

I wanted to drop you a note on behalf of myself and our dive club members who stayed at your hotel and dove with your dive operation. We were very pleased with the accommodations, hospitality, and service provided by your staff. The divemasters were wonderful and the diving superb. The meals at your restaurant were too good and my waistline shows it! Alberto and Olga constantly were asking if there was anything else they could do to make our stay the best and should be commended for their hard work and desire to make our trip the best it could be. I look forward to returning to your hotel and diving with Yap Divers in the future.

Good Diving,

Bill,

After our brief venture home (it only took 24.75 hours), the depression has sunk in and if I had half of a brain I'd be washing dishes for you right now to secure my place on Yap for the rest of my life.

I just wanted to thank you for you hospitality and looking after us during our recent stay with you. We had an outstanding time, and were most impressed with your dive operation. In particular, I can't say enough about Alex who is easily one of the best dive guides I've ever been out with.

I don't know if it's a natural condition on Yap, but the friendliness of your staff was second to none. Always a hello, a smile and what can we do for you.

Take care.

Many thanks,

Thank you for a great trip at Manta Ray Bay Hotel. You and your staff performed beyond the call of duty and all 26 of us (baby Ben included) had a great trip. I though I'd send you some quotes we received from some of our travelers after we asked them how they liked the trip for our newsletter:

Bill D: The word would be "excellent"!
Jack B: Not long enough - two weeks next time! Out trip was eight days!
Arnold B: Let's go back tomorrow!

It's hard to say what the most popular feature of the week was.
The top three:
1.) The many Manta's on every Manta dive
2.) The dancing Spotted Eagle Rays
3.) The shark feed.

On another level: your practice of commissioning the stores for additional dives was a nice touch and greatly appreciated. Your flexibility with the diving schedule allowed us to enjoy our dives without missing a great meal and made the day much more relaxing...it's hard to believe that resorts still haven't figured out that these folks we travel with are on vacation and the resorts schedule just isn't that important!

For the life of me I don't know why everyone feels the need to visit Yap only as a junket from their Palau vacation.

Sincerely,

Mary and Ed Salamone

Having just returned from what is arguably one of the most enjoyable times of my life, I wanted to pass along to you a couple of observations. You have assembled a most professional staff that has mastered the attributes of personal contact, concern, and competence that render each guest a member of the Manta Bay Ray Hotel and Yap Divers family. The only word that can fully fathom the feeling I felt upon arrival is "acceptance." Staying with you was like visiting family -- the side of the family that you always enjoy no matter the time or circumstance. I commend you on your strict adherence to maintaining the personal side of professionalism throughout the entire operation.

In particular I would like to single out the contributions of Geof and Trudy Loe. What a tandem! In all my 25 years of diving, I have met no equal to the genuine concern, safety awareness, and knowledge of the environment as exhibited by this team of teams. Collin Adams provided the icing on the cake, again demonstrating a level of professionalism combined with the ability to relate directly to each individual diver in a manner which noticeably calmed anxious nerves while boosting individual confidence.

On the Hotel staff side, please extend my personal gratitude to Fausta, Randy, Cathy, "King Willie," and your lovely wife, Patricia for the holiday of my life. I look forward to the day I can return to Yap. In the meantime, I assure that any influence I may wield to someone coming your way will surely encompass, "Manta Ray Bay is the only way to enjoy Yap!"

Semper Fidelis,

Rob Creamer
LtCol, USMC

I have just returned from Yap and the MRBH. I came with a group from Okinawa, Japan and John Chandler. I honestly can not say enough about the trip. We have all been to great places in the world. However; what made this trip different was your staff. I really have to mention Bill the chef, Fausta at the Bar, and everyone encountered there. But my most interaction and time was spent with Geof Loe, Colin, Willie and Trudy of the dive staff. I have never met a more professional and knowledgeable staff in my life. They made the trip, I know you must get complaints on occasion but I cant imagine why. Keep up the good work and thank very much for sharing your hotel and experience with us all, I will never forget it.

Respectfully,

My wife Tori and I just want to say thank you for such a wonderful time. We were at your resort with the wild and crazy Bob's Dive shop group. Since we've returned we have done nothing but talk very highly of your Island, resort and the treatment we received. Thank you so much. I think I've convinced other diver friends to come and check you out.

Thank you,

Having just returned from spending a week at your hotel I just wanted to write a short note to thank you for the wonderful holiday we had.
Very often you get what you want in spite of the people whose job it should be to provide any particular product or service but I must say that this was certainly not the case at your hotel and dive shop. What a refreshing change! So much so, in fact, that I wanted to send this note of thanks as your staff could not have been more helpful and you should be very proud of the service they provide.
Could you please pass on our sincere thanks to your entire staff and in particular, to Geof, Trudy, Alex, Chomed, Martha, Josie and Fausta. They helped make our holiday truly memorable!
Finally, if you have any enquiries from any other Brits about holidays at your Hotel, I would be happy for you to pass on our e-mail address for them to contact me and I will relay on our experiences.
We hope to see you again sometime. Once again, many thanks for a wonderful holiday.
