"Rumba was a real jam of a place! I was a bit concerned about the travel there from Singapore but it was perfectly organized by the staff and went completely problem free. The resort is on a beautiful beach, with each cabin having an easy access to it. Possibility for swimming, snorkling, diving, and in my case, complete relaxation in the most gorgeous setting. Food served at Rimba was really good. Overall, a super pleasant experience!"
