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.

Hotel was great, however the birds do spoil it a littlebit as they are always about when it is meal times, and the stray dogs.

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.

Beautiful resort with an amazing staff! We stayed in room 1200 for 8 days and I can say we had one of the best experience This resort offers you everything you need-high style dining in restaurants, beautiful beach with so many water activities, very good entertainment staff, beautiful landscape, friendly people everywhere ( front desk and beach bar especially) Thank you for making our staying there memorable and we will definitely return to this place!

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.

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.

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.

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.

After the initial disappointment of checking in the staff did make amends and ensured we had a better experience and offered a complementary couples massage as a gesture of goodwill which was appreciated

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!

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.

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.

I was not upgraded nor i was offer an upgrade. The room I was giving was close to the end of the property far from the swimming pool and the beach. The staff was nice. But the check in process was not impressive

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.

We spent a week on our honeymoon at The Ravenala Attitude Hotel. The whole resort was a wonderful paradise. The rooms were big and clean. The staff everywhere was extremely friendly. We always got help and advice for everything we needed. The hotel had many different restaurants serving food from different cultures. The quality of the restaurants varied, but everywhere the food was really good. A floating restaurant by the river called Riviera is a must try. Beautiful and romantic place. Chef Ally makes the best food while Brandon (waiter) takes care of you. The hotel beach is also beautiful and there is many different activities you can do besides sipping drinks and laying in the sun. Cruises, watersports etc. The hotel also had a wonderful spa. First we went to steam and sauna. After that we went for a couples massage. It was relaxing and the masseurs were lovely. The service was excellent and the atmosphere in the spa was peaceful. We spent a lot of time at the hotel pool. We would like to especially thank the two gentlemen called Yes and Mo. They took special care of us whenever we spent time at the pool. They always made sure we had everything we needed. They were extremely helpful, polite and funny. We had a great time with them. Thanks to them, we had a memorable vacation and could have stayed much longer. We can warmly recommend this hotel for a vacation and especially for a honeymoon. A

Having just returned from a lovely family holiday I don’t normally write reviews but thought I would share my positives and negatives. Positives: staff! They are wonderful, so friendly, always happy to help and share all of their top tips and fixed anything that we had an issue with which really made any of our issues no problem at all!! They moved our room as we were at the far end of the hotel to be closer to the pool which was great Great water sports facilities - snorkelling trips, glass bottom boat, kayaks, sups etc. Good choice of restaurants although food could be a bit hit and miss! Riveria was definetley worth the extra cost. Madame Ming was lovely. Kids club was great and so much on offer. Dolphin watching, swimming with turtles 1.5hr boat trip was great (4,500MR) Negatives - facilities are quite tired and cleaning in rooms/communal toilets could be better. Our air con was very noisy and leaked as well as the baths. Tick ridden stray dogs which are not looked after by the hotel. A comment we had previously read which didn’t affect our perception as already aware but to note the water can be less ‘Indian ocean’ due to the river meeting the sea, the sand is a little building sand but perfect shallow calm waters for kids to swim in. Quite a few restaurant choices although mainly all located next to each other and food was quite hit and miss. The pool was green and cloudy most of the stay which seemed to be due to an over chemical use. Overall a great stay

This hotel is marketed as a 4 star hotel with some amazing photos. These were likely taken when it was built and new. I’ve attached photos of our room, it was actually very dirty on close inspection. I had to keep calling Guest Service all week to fix issues. Cockroach in the room, again not the end of the world but not great. We were attacked by stray dogs outside of our room and another guest was bitten. I reported it but it was never followed up. Food is honestly average. On the first day we were told every other restaurant was fully booked at 6.30pm (kids) to their credit, the guest team eventually found us reservations. Strangely these restaurants were always quiet too? A 20 min round trip taxi to the supermarket cost £26. Surprising! As we checked out, I gave the feedback directly and they didn’t really want to talk about it. I also spoke to Hotels.com who were quite unhelpful and just referred me to the hotel. The kids club only had a handful of children in it. The reality is that your kids will just want to play by the pool, so I wouldn’t book this hotel on that basis. You will most likely eat at the buffet for all meals most of the trip. Just bear this in mind as it can get quite repetitive. If you get a good deal, it is probably worth it but I would not be happy paying full price for this hotel expected 4 star quality.
