We arrived in the evening at KK airport after a long trip from Toronto. Arranged for the hotel shuttle to pick us up and the service was excellent. They were waiting for us with cool towels and chilled drinks. Took us about 45 minutes to get to the hotel, so by the time we got there it was quite dark.... More

I can say the hotel is great, with nice beach, but during our stay there are lots of constructions, the hotel have excellent facilities, several restaurants , nicest staffing and great services , the only things is that you have to take a taxi to the nearest shopping mall , about 15 minute drive with a cost of 60 ringet...

Stunning hotel, stunning location, stunning rooms, stunning food. Best of all, the nicest staff we have ever come across in a hotel. If the Rasa Ria is typical of this hotel chain, then we will look for a Shangi-Las first time, every time. Salinah, the Ocean Wing manager, Lilya on reception, Anderia who looked after our room, and our 2... More

We stayed for 3 nights (split over 2 stays ) - Yes the hotel is under going renovations, but they all have to at some point don't they? We booked a rainforest room but on arrival were upgraded to a brilliant deluxe seaview room instead, a lovely surprise as it was a great size and really well decorated and equipped.... More

The resort is a solid destination stay with a few caveats ... (1) The website says all Ocean Wing Premium rooms have sweeping views of the South China Sea. This is not true. A number of such rooms have no ocean view. (2) The ongoing renovations make the resort look slightly unappealing and a number of the facilities are closed.... More

The hotel is nice but compared to other parts of Asia it is very expensive. There are much cheaper places in Asia with the same level of luxury. Luckily we didn't book a Garden view room as a large proportion of the rooms are one big construction site. The staff were all very friendly. Wouldn't stay longer than 3 days... More

My partner and I had a nice stay at Rasa Ria. The highlight for me was definately the proximity to the orangutans, however other highlights included the amazing Japanese restaurant and my partner surprising me with a private dinner on the sand - amazing and totally worth it should you get the opportunity! I wasn't such a fan of the... More

This was the most expensive hotel I have ever stayed in. I searched the internet night after night to find the best deal, and was somewhat hesitant about spending so much money. Our room was a standard room in the garden wing with ocean view on the top level, level 4. Travelling with our thirteen year old, the large built... More

First off, we should've written this review 8 months ago but were too busy to do so. However, our experience was so good that we thought, it is better late than never. We held our wedding at the resort back in June 2011 and were very fortunate to have S.F. Chan as our wedding planner. The resort and the location... More
