Just spent 10 lovely days on Rawa Island. 4 nights in an Ocean Wing villa (the smallest one) and 6 nights in Frangipanni Villa (thanks to the management who upgraded us for better comfort, peace and quiet). The staff did all they could to make us feel welcome. The resort is pretty laid back and not too posh and polished,... More

Following a business trip to Singapore, a few of my colleagues and I decided to cross the border into Malaysia and spend three nights at the Rawa Island Safaris Resort. As we're not familiar with the area, we weren't sure what to expect, but as the boat approached the tiny tropical island, we knew we'd found our weekend paradise. The... More

I am a bit surprised to read some people's negative comments. People say it is expensive and I am curious what it is being compared to. This is an ISLAND where all resources have to be brought in by boat. The price includes three meals a day and drinking water (which has to be brought in by boat). The alcohol... More

visiting with my husband we were disappointed with the quality of the rooms and value for money. more disturbing was witnessing what looked some Caucasians being set upon by locals. The Caucasians were badly beaten and we were left very disturbed. the island itself is set in a lovely setting but i would not return again based on our experience.

We opted for Rawa Island Resort as we wanted a few more creature comforts due to travelling with an infant. The resort is a little tired in places but the staff were welcoming and helpful. The rooms aren't anything to write home about but are clean and comfortable. The food was acceptable and the barbeque buffet on Saturday was delicious.... More

This is the second time I have visited Rawa with friends within a year. This time we checked into Safaris as the other (more basic) side was full (thier booking system is a little hectic). The over all experience was fantastic and we will definatly be back. From the simple online booking for 10 of us to them organising a... More

I am writing this as i am still on the island. I was baffled by the details one put on their review of the hotels and rooms facilities in tripadvisor... For the past 3 days on the island ,bustling city life has stopped and the only sound and view you see are the emrald coloured sea and the rustling of... More

When booking a trip to Rawa island , first thing you need to be careful with is to book directly with the island resort and not through a travel agent who happens to "copy and paste the website" of the main resort and which does indicate it is a travel agent. This company is called "my outdoor" (rawa.com.my). We retrospectively... More

After viewing the pictures and paying a hefty amount to stay at Rawa, we were expecting a great experience. Unfortunately nearly every aspect of our stay was very disappointing. The rooms were very very basic ( although the website states that they had recently been refurbished - 10 years ago is NOT recent) . The white towels had turned grey... More
