The Beach at Mantaray Island Resort

"The barefoot pilot pulled the bags out of the back of the plane and waded through the water to leave the bags at baggage claim (the beach)"

"Speaking of snorkeling, the protected "house reef" right off the resort's beach has some of the best diving around"

"Lodgings are spread across a small hill and two pretty beaches: the 32-bed dorm and treehouse bures are tucked away up a forested path, while self-contained jungle bures and posh new beachfront villas skirt the sand, far enough from the lively bar to be peaceful"
