Runik Beach Club & Resort - Adults Only

We booked the Villa and it felt like we well taken care of. There is only one villa in the resort but it truly was instagram worthy. There is air conditioning, the vibe of the place was so good and it was massive with its own roof area and semi-private pool! Location of the place was good but it can be easy to miss because there's not a lot of signages that it's already Runik. The place is still getting built properly but hopefully soon, it's more updated. Check in was easy and they collect payment upon arrival. All of what you spend after though can be paid at checkout. We were also advised that if we had any guests that wish to visit us (again, we booked the villa), they do not need to pay the entrance fee but just require to spend on the consumables (drinks and/or food) which we were happy to cover. We had two guests that came and we only needed to mention their name at the front desk. Btw, guests aren't allowed to go into the accommodation but they can be at the resort. The accommodation is situated in the middle of the property. With a few glamping tents and the villa. It's secluded by two big doors and you can't go into the villa or tents without a key. It is in the middle of the resort though so please expect noise from traffic and music until 10 or 11 pm. The villa was fantastic, it had a rustic feel but because of that, it did have a few tiny bugs like ants, flies, etc. The bed was situated in the middle of the villa, there was air conditioning, table, chairs, makeup vanity, window seats, sheer curtains and normal curtains on windows and had an outside area for shower, semi private pool and roof area. It was an okay stay. We felt special but the place could be improved more. If it's renovated, we would love to stay again!

The bathroom looked good but could be improved. One of the things we noticed was the toilet area, wasn't fully private. I was unsure if we can be seen as it only had the sheer curtain so if you were showering late at night and the lights are open, chances are, someone might see you depending on the angle. Likewise if you are using the toilet. There is a plant covering the bathroom area from the outside but you can never be too sure. The shower also didn't work properly and the handheld one was too low and it felt like you needed to hold it over you the whole time. The amenities weren't checked as well because one of the provided toothbrushes was used already but they kept it there thinking it wasn't used. The pool is semi-private. I say semi because no one else can use it as it's for you only but it is a bit in the open where you can still see the full resort and the other people swimming at the public pool area. The mini tiles of the pool were everywhere so it's a bit run down already. The rooftop view on the other hand was amazing.

the staff and bar

the comfort

Once we walked in the resort it looked beautiful, the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We had booked the tent and found it comfortable, even with a third bed squeezed in for us. The AC and fan supplied both worked well and we didn’t feel too hot. The shared bathroom area was clean, although some of light fixtures hadn’t been properly fitted yet. The food at the resort was nice but if you want more options there are many places not too far by motorcycle/tuktuk. We rented a car and there was free parking on the premises which was easy.

Sadly there was a lot of construction at the front of the building going on during our stay. Something to bear in mind that there is no beach access, it looked like there might have been at some point but the stairs were damaged maybe from a typhoon. Also it does say on their website, but there is music until 11pm, thankfully our first night it ended early, but something to consider if you need to sleep early etc.

Didn't realise it was a glamping hotel. i.e. staying in tents so we didn't stay there at all. Reception staff were excellentl. They tried to find us alternative accommodation
