Everything was amazing I would like to recognize and appreciate PAWAN from India bar department.....he really took good care of us.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE SERVICE
The food and beverage service was absolutely wow! A huge thank you to Kirun and his team for doing such a wonderful job and making sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay.
A special mention to Pawan at the main restaurant, who was fantastic, and to Yudish at the beach bar, whose warm and friendly service we really enjoyed.
Also, a big thank you to Hennah at the front desk. She was always there to listen to our requests and went above and beyond to make our stay a truly wonderful one.
Thank you all for making our experience so memorable! ❤️
Memorable stay & service
We had a wonderful stay, and a special mention to Pawan for the exceptional service and warm hospitality. Always friendly, attentive, and happy to help. Truly made our stay even more memorable!
Top-notch service overall
Overall it was Wow experience, both as a guest and a local.The room was spacious and clean, and the staff genuinely made us feel welcomed throughout the stay.
The food was outstanding, easily 11/10.
A special shoutout to the standout staff who made this stay world-class:
Kimberly from Reservations, for her help with the booking process. Ryan at the main desk, for his courtesy and warmth. Ashley from the 0 beach, a true gentleman who helped us choose the perfect food. Missier Moustach kishan our favorite at the beach bar for his excellent care and smile to remeber and Bhundun, the talented young man at the pool bar for his excellent local cocktails 🍸.
The only hiccup was at the reservations desk for dining experience on arrival day,the staff member seemed uninterested in helping us book the dining reservation and asked us to come back later. When we returned, we were fortunate to get a different, much more attentive staff member who took the time to walk us through the restaurant options and made great recommendations. It would be great if that same level of care was consistent across the desk earlier.
Would highly recommend Ravenala for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-serviced stay Kr Ghani

Wonderful staff and location
We’ve had a wonderful couple of weeks at The Ravenala Attitude this August as a family of four in two Suites.
The resort is absolutely stunning, really well played out and has such a great vibe to it. What really makes the hotel though is the amazing staff - everyone is so incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful.
The suites are quite old but very comfortable, well planned and the best beds and bedding. Water pressure and temperature can be a bit hit and miss but not an issue.
We had a few relatively minor issues but staff worked incredibly hard to resolve them. Our autistic son has a limited diet due to ARFID but once we raised it with Guest Experience and the Executive Chef a special meal was prepared for him every lunch and dinner.
Food was generally very good - breakfast is particularly good and consistent. Lunch is a diverse buffet or there’s O beach restaurant and the food truck. Dinner we had at the buffet most nights and a few nights elsewhere. Bistrot was exceptional although it unfortunately closed half way through our stay.
The online portal/website has the menus and schedules on but they aren’t always correct (allergens and activities). Restaurant booking was also overly complex - having to line up at 8am on Saturday to be able to book restaurants for the coming week rather than being able to book online.
Overall we had a wonderful holiday. It’s such a great hotel with the loveliest staff and a stunning locations We would absolutely recommend and return to Attitude hotels.
