I
highly
recommend
staying
at
the
Mangrove
Bay
Hotel
on
your
trip
in
Pohnpei
for
many
reasons.
They
have
free
shuttle
service
to
and
from
the
airport
which
is
a
plus.
Upon
checking
in
the
front
desk
(located
upstairs)
staff
members
were
very
helpful
with
all
of
my
questions
and
needs
(RiRi
was
awesome!!).
The
front
office
is
open
from
6:00
am
to
10:00
pm
every
day.
In
the
front
office
they
have
beer,
soda,
chips,
candies,
oatmeal,
ramen,
and
little
travel
necessities
you
may
need.
They
have
free
coffee
or
tea
with
hot
water
and
a
microwave.
(No
microwaves
are
in
rooms
only
the
front
office).
They
also
have
souvenirs
you
can
purchase
as
well.
Also
something
that
I
wish
I
would
have
known
ahead
of
time
which
I
love
and
is
Eco
friendly
instead
of
buying
a
bunch
of
water
bottles
the
night
before
just
inform
them
you
would
like
to
purchase
for
$5.00
a
water
jug
and
its
a
massive
water
jug
that
is
sure
to
last
you
a
few
days.
I
highly
recommend
asking
for
it
upon
arrival.
The
front
desk
will
also
call
you
a
taxi
which
is
$1.00
per
person
for
in
town
rides.
There
is
24
hour
security.
OHH!
They
have
bananas
hanging
at
the
door
of
the
office
and
they
are
free!
I
didn't
know
till
the
last
day.
The
location
is
right
outside
of
the
town
and
I
timed
myself
walking
at
a
normal
pace
it
took
me
about
30
minutes
to
get
to
the
Tourism
Center
which
is
in
the
middle
to
beginning
of
town.
There
is
plenty
of
grocery
stores,
markets,
and
places
to
eat
that
take
about
a
10-15
minute
walk.
I
know
this
was
a
big
debate
somewhere
in
a
review
or
question.
The
room
was
amazing!
Each
room
has
2
beds,
a
TV,
a
fridge,
and
silverware,
plates,
cups,
mugs,
bowls,
and
the
most
amazing
view!
We
did
not
have
our
room
cleaned
the
time
we
were
there
but
im
sure
the
service
was
good.
Beds
are
comfy!!
Wifi
is
spotty
but
its
still
nice
to
be
able
to
connect.
There
is
a
sushi
restaurant
directly
located
next
to
the
hotel
which
is
open
for
lunch
and
dinner.
You
can
also
order
Arnold's
which
is
$1.00
delivery
fee.
Since
the
sushi
place
does
not
serve
breakfast
you
can
call
Arnold's
the
day
before
and
have
them
deliver
breakfast
to
your
room
at
whatever
time
you
choose.
Also
you
can
eat
Arnold's
in
the
sushi
place
if
you
arent
a
fan
of
sushi
but
your
group
is.
The
Pohnpei
surf
club
is
located
downstairs
in
the
hotel.
Amazing
service
there
as
well.
They
have
a
bunch
of
activities
for
you
to
do
such
as
diving,
surfing,
land
tours,
or
hikes.
As
well
as
recommendations
to
places
to
shop,
eat,
and
hike.
As
stated
in
another
review
check
out
is
at
11:00
am
but
I
mean
come
on......if
that's
the
check
out
time
that's
the
check
out
time......
You
can
store
your
luggage
in
the
office
even
if
you
have
a
late
flight
the
security
is
able
to
open
the
door
and
get
it
for
you.
They
also
provide
2
kayaks
for
free
use
for
hotel
guests
or
$10
for
non
hotel
guests
where
you
can
kayak
to
the
nearby
wrecks
and
mangroves.
I
highly
recommend
this
as
it
is
really
worth
the
time.
Between
the
beautiful
up-kept
hotel,
the
amazing
location
and
view,
and
the
friendly
staff
members
my
time
in
Pohnpei
was
well
spent.
Thank
you
again!
