We had a good family bonding time at Shangri La Rasa Ria. There were lots of activities catering to various types of travelers. The beach was long with fine sand, and the sunset view was excellent. There were also game rooms when the sun gets too hot or when it rains.

Service used to be much better when we visited last year, i think maybe hotel management has changed, not as attentive as before. Rasa ria used to be a place where we felt special to visit. Now its just a nice hotel.
Room service and request took a long time, trays and ice bucket did not even clear overnight. I could not even request for an ice latte during breakfast, was told to make it myself. Never had this issue with any 5 star luxury hotel all over the world.

Great resort area, well thought out activities and facilities . However, management should include more board games like scrabble etc. Lots of guests during our stay and sometimes we could not get to play games we wanted. I mean it’s easy and simple stuff to have more board games.
Otherwise the food was great. The activities were good but pricier. Not a whole lot of participation. A pity. Oh, I should not miss out- the sunsets were picture perfect..
