The Racha looks every bit as good in the flesh as the pictures on their website. We were delighted with our grand deluxe villa and the view overlooking the bay. The air con was very effective, bed comfortable and the mini-bar reasonably priced. The resort facilities are great; well equiped gym, lovely pools and free bike and snorkelling hire( the... more

Finally after 2 very disappointing stays in Phuket and Koh Phi Phi, we finally found what we were looking for: paradise! Beautiful bay on a small island, wonderful sand (I could not find the stones from former reviews!?), clear blue water... just perfect! Wonderful hotel, very friendly staff!! The perfect hide-away! more

The Racha is just amazing. We just did not want to go when we had to leave the place to go home. The only thing that was less relaxed was the very bumpy boat ride to the island, but of course, that is about the one thing the hotel cannot help. The hotel was fully booked but it still felt... more

We stayed at the Racha from the 21st -24th of December last year. We stayed at one of the Kata Beach resorts for 2 nights prior to our visit and arrived at the Chalong Racha office by taxi. We were met with refreshments and told to wait for the boat. The boat came and the journey wasn't too long. However,... more

The Racha is amazing. We loved every minute of our stay. The other reviews are not exaggerating. The photos on the web site and here are accurate, it is beautiful. What you can see through the pictures is the quality of the staff and the attention to detail. Wow. The staff are genuinely happy and happy to help. They anticipate... more

This was one of the best hotels where I have stayed! We have chosen one of the cheapest rooms, but when we got there we were really suprised with the size of it. The whole hotel is really focused to comfort and rest. The hotel has a big choice of restaurants, with diferent kind of foods & prices. The pool... more

My husband and I stayed at the Racha for 5 nights at the end of July. If you want privacy, seclusion and total R&R - this is the place for you. If you are looking for crowds and a booming nightlife you will not find it here. Fortunately my husband and I just wanted to get away from it all... more

This hotel was amazing! We opted for their cheapest room, but it was fantastic in every way. We were really impressed with the restaurants at the hotel, quite varied choices, and really reasonable. I think we spent about £20 on an average meal for two. The staff were really attentive, I had the best massage of my life in the... more

We got married in the Racha and everything was perfect except maybe the previous day briefing which was a bit tense... Whatever, a lot of little attentions have been made in order to make this evenement the best ever. In addition to, the spot is wonderful, the architecture of the hotel (all white) can be a little cold but it... more

We stayed here for our honeymoon. We had book 5 nights and ended up staying for another 5 as it was so incredible. The website shows some pretty amazing photos and it looks even better than this in reality. It is so peaceful due to it being off season. There are no tour boats in the off peak time. There... more
