Rambutan Resort

Rambutan Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The room was lovely, beautiful, smells amazing. Easy access to the pool which I loved. The staff was amazing! Helpful, polite, prompt in resolving things - bedside lamp was not working, came to replace. You also need to ask the staff how to connect the TV to your hotspot if you want to watch Youtube / netflix. It is not a given even though it is a smart TV. I think these information could be mentioned upfront to guests, and not wait for them to ask. The initiative would be great. Only small issue when I checked in, there was a used towel behind the shower door, i reckon house keeping did not do a thorough check. Otherwise, the reception took on the feedback really well and promptly. I checked in late arvo, the cafe did not have much snack options to dine, the top restaurant /bar is only opened 5pm? So i have to wait. Pizza was amazing! Oh parking was abit of a meh when I was trying to find the hotel. They only gave directions to the parking after I circled around twice and parked across the streets, to go in and enquire. I would appreciate parking directions to be made known / informed prior to arriving - perhaps information can be send to email first etc. Once I got the info, the parking was easy. It's just hidden."

"All good, short drive from the airport. Short walk to the Strand. Plenty options for food inside the hotel and around the strand. Parking is not so convenient because it is across the hotel."
