Our stay at Ratua was truly unforgettable! The setting is stunning, with lush greenery and vibrant waters surrounding the resort. The activities offered kept our family entertained, and we loved disconnecting from technology while bonding with nature. However, we did experience some delays with the a la carte lunch service, which could use improvement. Overall, it's a unique and special getaway.

My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The location is absolutely stunning, featuring beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. The dining experiences were top-notch with great flavors, and the staff made me feel exceptionally welcomed. However, the room lighting was an issue, making it tough to see clearly, and some amenities were not well communicated, leading to missed opportunities for activities. Overall, while there were delightful aspects, the room setup and communication could use some improvement.

My week at Ratua was simply enchanting. It’s a hidden paradise where the beauty of the island meets an authentic experience that feels untouched by commercial tourism. The rooms exude character and charm, while the marine life around the island is breathtaking. Although the prices for meals and activities are on the higher side, the overall experience is worth every penny. However, if you prefer a more conventional resort atmosphere with lots of amenities, this might not be your ideal spot.

This resort is truly a slice of paradise with stunning accommodations and plenty of activities to keep you entertained. The staff is incredibly attentive, and the dining experience is fantastic with delicious options. However, the arrival process was a bit confusing, and I faced some challenges with room amenities and lighting.
