We went on a 4 day trip and had such a relaxing time! It is very quiet, just the waves and birds to be heard. We are a young family with 3 small children and had the family room XO. It has two seperate rooms and two bathrooms with warm water. It was very clean. Towels were provided. The beds... More

Me and my partner stayed at Rimba Resort for a weekend getaway from Singapore. The hotel arranged the transport which worked well, even though we couldn't leave on our desired time as you need to coordinate with the other people you share the bus with. The resort is very much a relaxed, basic beach hut style accommodation, not something for... More

We just spent 5 nights at the Rimba Resort over Easter. It is a magical place. Our 18 month year old loved being able to walk out of the hut and on to the beach. The sea was lovely and warm and inviting and lots of fishes to see. it was so easy to entertain her. The staff were incredibly... More

Getting married is a once in lifetime experience and those who have planned or are planning a wedding would understand how difficult it can be. We chose to have our wedding at Rimba after several emails with Carly and a 4 day visit. The decision wasn't taken lightly but reflects the trust we had in the staff and the resort... More

We visited Rimba again in March 2012 after a bit of a gap and we wonder why we have stayed away. The beach is as much fun as ever, the snorkeling on the house reef was great even though its early in the season, and the changes Mal and the team have made to the resort are really paying off.... More

The Rimba resort is very well located on a small hideaway beach with palms and a nice reef in front of it. We were picked up and brought back to our singapore hotel, what worked good although most of their driver don´t speak english and it always tooks 4 hours each way (and not 2,5 as they say). The huts... More

Our trip was a last minute arrangement (calls at 9pm for pick-up at 10am next day), and Joe/ Malcolm went all the way to make it happen =) A taxi picked us up from our place (paid driver S$50) and dropped us off at the taxi interchange in Johor Bahru, where we swapped to a Malaysian taxi which brought us...
