A resort for a family vacation
Nice all inclusive resort. Perfect for families. They offer also several activities for free (ie kayak, pedalo, windsurf, bottomglass boat) not enough advertised though. The best thing is the kids club from 9am til 10pm with tons of activities for the kids and super lovely staff.

Excellent! Just left the ravenala following 5 night stay. We had no compliants at all. We stayed in the adult zone where you get your own bean bag loungers on the beach. The room was very clean, housekeeping are incredible. Each day the room was spotless and care taken with items in the room. Huge thanks to the staff at the boat house - well equipped, highly knowledgeable and happy to go out and teach. Their english is very good too. The added options of glassbottom tour was excellent. Food was good and plenty of options. Yes there are a few - maybe 3 stray dogs on the beach but they do not bother you and the staff look after them and feed them. Well worth a stay and would go back again! Fabulous sunsets as well.

Great property for a Family Stay. Spacious room and excellent pools. The only letdown was some of the service in the restaurants which was often very slow.

Overall hood stay.
Overall hood stay, room was upgraded which was fantastic with a private beach. Hotel rooms and bathroom is in need of a refurbishment. Buffet Food overall was not that good, the best service and food we had was at the kot nou. The staff at the bistro require customer service training and be trained to greet and smile.

All in all a nice stay. Cleanliness is given in the ressort, yet room showed already some signs of usage - although much space. Food mostly good, but restaurant system is a bit tricky - make sure to reserve tables for several days immediately after arriving.

Very nice hotel, a lot of helpfull staff, from cleaning to restaurants. Value for the money. Could maybe upgrade the soap/shower gel to get a little more luxury feeling. Also maybe wait with the Big tour around the hotel just after landing. We had been traveling for almost 20 hours, and would appriciate a short nap and shower before being showed around, but the tour itself were good.

The staff really make this place, the bar, boathouse and activities staff in particular. It has a relaxed and charming atmosphere, rather than a sanitised 5star. Our kids (11,9 & 5yrs) didn’t go in kids club but the staff played table tennis, drafts and chess with them around the beach allowing us to relax. The Sunset on the beach at night is breath taking.

This is a lovely hotel. The reception area is really impressive when entering the hotel. We stopped in an Executive Beachfront room which was huge. All the restaurants were good, none of the evening ones covered by the all inclusive were exceptional, but they were all good. We did use Lime, the Sushi restaurant, at lunchtime which was superb. Overall, I would highly recommend the hotel.

Amazing staycation
The whole team at Ravenala are simply Amazing, especially Preetisha! We upgraded to all inclusive which was the best thing we’ve could have Done. We could choose to eat from 7 restaurants out of 9 as well as order drinks wherever and whenever at the hotel bars or go to their shop to get water bottles or other beverages and snacks.

Very nice service!
The helpfulness of the employees is remarkable. They will do whatever they can to solve any problems! We were also highly impressed by the water sports activities freely available at the hotel. Do remember to book tables at the restaurants as soon as you arrive, they quickly become full, and they are all worth visiting!

Some of the employees were really special. Sweety at the Bistro was wonderful, helpful, and seemed to know exactly what we needed and was spot on. Front desk employees were courteous and helpful. Food options and restaurants were very nice. Maintenance workers were noisy in the mornings. We could have done without the initial resort tour prior to check in. The check in process is too long.

We had an amazing stay at Ravenala Attitude hotel. The food was delicious great choice for everyone especially the sushi at Lime, ground floor executive beachfront suite massive & great position, the gardens & pools were spectacular too. Everyone of the staff was so genuinely friendly & helpful, they were all really proud to work for the company who in turn look after & appreciate their colleagues. We got married whilst there, beautiful & perfect in every way. Sneha went out of her way to ensure everything was just how we wanted it. Thank you for all the wonderful memories we will have forever.Totally recommend this hotel 5*

Nice stay
Just returned from 10 days at the Ravenala Attitude, wonderful young and friendly staff, easily got sunbeds and reservations for the many restaurants. Basic evening entertainment, small group, dj or sega dancers. Spotlessly clean all round and the restaurant meals were mostly good, drinks were not premium unfortunately so took a while to find the decent ones. I got the impression the hotel was not full but I may be wrong about that. All in all had a good time and would consider staying at the Ravenala again.

This is a lovely property and the staff is very friendly and really try to do their best to accommodate requests. The food is okay. There is a lot of variety, catering to many different tastes, and you should absolutely make every effort to book into as many of the restaurants covered by the all inclusive deal as possible. That said, they are a mixed bag. We really enjoyed Madame Ming and Kot Nou and wished we had managed to get into the Beach BBQ for dinner but were unable. We ate there at lunchtime however, which is pretty nice. We didn't have as great experiences at 'O', a Tavola or Bistrot - the last two relating to the food, but the first, to the service, which just left us a little underwhelmed at the end of the evening. The pools are super, the beach is pretty, and they are right alongside one another so it's easy to go back and forth between them. The room was comfortable though with there kids, we were a little cramped - that's probably our fault, not the hotel's. We may not stay there again, having done it for ten days, but we certainly would recommend others put this hotel on their list of ones to consider. The pictures do it justice and if you really want to just unwind and do nothing, the Ravanela Attitude will do the trick.
