The Ravenala Attitude

Location: The hotel is highly praised for its excellent location, providing easy access to the beach and lush gardens.

Very nice

We stayed at the beautiful Ravenala for 3 nights at the end of August. There are so many reasons that we would return, but here are a few.... - The staff are clearly very well looked after. They refer to each other as 'family', not colleagues. Their service makes up for anything that isn't perfect here. We left the Ravenala feeling sad because we'd been treated like family! The time that they take to ask you about your day makes such a big difference to your holiday. I honestly don't think that I've been around such a wonderful bunch of people in any hotel. A special mention to Raju (pool bar). He is the wisest guy in the world. So many great stories, and he gave us so much of his time. Roma - the sweetest lady with such a big smile! Ismail and David - thank you for showing us around and taking the time to answer lots of questions. You're all a credit to the resort, but all of your staff are! We can not thank you all enough. - The resort itself is beautiful and very well kept. There are lots of areas for couples to relax, or for families to play together. The pools are very pretty. - The rooms are beautiful. Some people mention the rooms being a little tired, but they're very clean, and the hotel are currently in the middle of renovating them. The beds were super comfortable - we slept like babies! - Plenty of activities on offer, such as kayaking, paddle boarding, beach volleyball, etc. The entertainment staff are brilliant! Your little ones or teens won't be bored here. - The beach is beautiful. Be careful if swimming in the sea as sea urchins live on the rocks, and you won't want the spikes in your skin! Ask the water sports staff about safe places to swim. - Food.... there is plenty to choose from. The breakfast buffet did sometimes take a little while to get replenished when things had run out, but you only had to ask someone working in the restaurant and they had no problem in putting fresh food out for you. We recommend trying the Asian restaurant! The food was delicious and the staff were fabulous! We also highly recommend walking along the path in between the Ravenala and the Maritim hotel to see the Citron waterfall from above. It is beautiful! Oh, and the sunsets from the beach are stunning! Don't forget your best cameras... but most of all, don't forget to just take it all in and make memories! Well done for getting it so right, team Ravenala!
