I have traveled to many tropical destinations in Central and South America, as well as the Hawaii and several locations in the South Pacific for the last ten years, but my travel to Yap has been the most rewarding by far. I had the good furtune to book a stay at the Yap Pacific Dive Resort. Getting to and from... More

This was my third time to Micronesia and my first time to Yap. I checked Tripadvisor to see where to stay and the reports of Yap Pacific Dive Resort looked very promising but they were a bit old so I was slightly hesitant about choosing it over the more common destination of Manta Ray Bay Hotel. I shouldn’t have worried.... More

This hotel is great. It has large comfortable rooms and the beds are good. The staff here from the housekeepers, front desk, restaurant, dive shop, drivers and security are amazing. So nice and they will go out of their way to make you happy. The view is gorgeous you can see the water and the new living history museum. also... More

Yap Pacific Dive Resort (www.yap-pacific.com) aka Traders Ridge is a great place. The exterior and interior both look like something you would find in the 1800's. Staff is excellent at the hotel and make sure whatever you need is taken care of. The hotel sits on a hill and surrounded by tropical trees and flowers. Rooms are good size and... More

Conclusion was that the restaurant had the best food and both YPDR and Manta Ray Bay were the best hotels by far. If you are... More

I stayed at this hotel when it was Trader Ridge several times, and the reason why it was so good was the local staff that ran it. The property was in escrow for 2 years and sold in April 2011. The new owners have plenty of plans to upgrade, but first they have to concentrate on customer service. They hired... More

We recently stayed in Traders Ridge Resort for three nights and I wish we could have stayed longer cause it was beyond our expectations. The hotel is in the best location in my opinion ( in a hill, with amazing views ) , the large rooms are beautifully decorated, all very well maintained and towels were changed more than once... More

Recently spent several days in this most enjoyable hotel and beautiful island. Nothing but great things to say about the entire staff, management, housekeeping, restaurant, bar, maintenance, and all the behind the scenes employee. What a friendly, customer service oriented group of professionals. From the first impression upon landing at the airport; and being met by hotel personnel to the... More
