Extremely friendly crews. My Younger one made good friends with them and did not want to leave. My older one enjoyed the conservation kids club a lot and kept talking about it in the following days. Well maintained facilities and nicely grown plants. Very relaxing holiday. Weekend buffet is good.

Fantastic stay at Rimba Resort. Very convenient and easy to access as the staff comes to pick you up at the jetty (only 15-20 minutes boat ride). The resort is beautiful, very well maintained with comfortable traditional-style chalets with view on a beautiful reef beach. The restaurant is excellent, with a wide variety of well-cooked dishes. And most importantly, the staff is very friendly, and definitely contributed to making our stay memorable. We took our PADI Open Water training with the resort's dive center. The instructor was great, very professional and made us enjoy the experience more than we could expect! Thanks guys for the great time!
