From the moment we were met at Krabi airport by the Rayavadee representative, to the moment we sadly had to leave again, everything was just incredible. I don't think we've ever stayed anywhere before where so much attention is paid to every single detail of the grounds, the rooms, the staff, the food, services, the possible needs of guests, everything was just exquisite. True, there is noise from the longtail boats during daytime at Railay Beach so also when you're at the swimming pool, but once you start walking towards Phranang Beach the noise soon disappears. There are plenty of places to avoid the noise and the crowds, and it certainly didn't bother us one bit. The grounds are incredibly beautiful, and wildlife is abundant, but to our surprise most fellow guests ignored or just briefly acknowledged it, whilst to us it was a highlight of our stay. The fabulous pavilion is beautiful and roomy, and the beds are very comfy. I could go on for hours, but I'll leave it here with saying that we can't wait to book again for next year. …

The resort is located on a prime location on Railay Beach and is the only resort to grant direct access to all three major beaches of the peninsula. There’s no denying that the location is beautiful and the cottages scattered around the property blend with the natural surroundings perfectly. The cottages themselves are quite spacious and comfortable but they allow a lot of light in which can be an issue for light sleepers. The food is decent but the grotto is definitely the worst of the three restaurants and has the slowest service, we had lunch there so maybe the dinner service is different. The service is courteous but falls short of the personal and attentive service you can expect from an hotel of that standard. We reported several problems including one persistant problem with the internet and a very unpleasant sewage smell coming from one of the bathrooms. They only apologized for the inconvenience and tried to justify the internet issue with a wireless problem with Apple products. Also you can notice security guards all around the property denying access to non residents but they are sometimes inattentive and people can walk in including around some unattended luggage simply left out in the open at the reception pavillon hours before our planned departure. This is a serious security concern. It was not possible to directly talk to the manager who was present on the first day but was nowhere to be seen afterward. This resort has a lot to offer including several excursions semi private or private that can be quite pricey but are very well organized. Complimentary afternoon tea on the Saturday was also very nice. The main issue really comes down to service that needs to be better and food quality that can use some improvement.…

Stayed for 4 nights as part of a 3 month trip around SE Asia and have to say this was the most disappointing and overrated hotel of the trip. The rooms are in need of a complete overhaul and although the towels and linen are good quality the rest of the room is shabby and old. Breakfast was quite mediocre and the staff at breakfast were rushed off their feet, it certainly seemed like they were understaffed, you chose from an a la carte menu but very often by the time breakfast arrived it was no longer hot. Reviewers mention the beaches frequently but Railey west beach is certainly nothing special, it is full of longtail boats and day trippers, in fact Railey itself is probably one of the most overrated places we’ve ever visited. Phranang beach is pretty but if you wish to lie on that side of the resort all the resorts sunbeds are packed in together. Pool area was nice, sunbeds comfortable and they bring water and small fruit snack mid morning. All in all this was a very disappointing hotel, there was certainly nothing luxury about it and I feel it is very much living now on past reputation. …

Stayed here with my husband for 5 nights as part of our two week trip to south east Asia. We had very high expectations for this hotel considering it cost as much as the Four Seasons in Koh Samui. The hotel is surrounded by 3 beaches, which are probably the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen in my life. You are definitely paying for the location but i’m not sure that the service and food warrants the high cost. First off, the hotel helped arrange transportation from the airport along with a boat transfer to get to the hotel. Once at the boat dock we waited 30 minutes for the boat to come get us. One day we did a 3 hour excursion and then waited over an hour for the boat ride back to the hotel. We found this to be very poor service. It is only a 15 minute boat ride to the hotel. Service at all the restaurants was pretty mediocre and slow. Food was average. We actually thought the western food was better than the Thai food. I was constantly having to flag someone down whether it was to order a drink or get the check. Service did not reflect the high prices/ Christmas dinner was very good though! Public bathrooms throughout the resort were usually pretty dirty and out of towels. No one from management ever spoke with us or asked how our stay was until we were departing the hotel. Service at the spa was nice and we enjoyed our massages. The rooms are okay but as other reviewer managed, are in need of an update. The room was freezing and it did not seem like the thermostat worked. So it was either freezing or hot. If you are used to staying at the Four Seasons, St. Regis, Belmond, Rosewood etc., you may be a bit disappointed, but maybe come for two nights to enjoy the beaches.…

We spent 1 night at the Rayavadee and regretted that we didn’t have more nights to stay there. Railay Beach is charming, beautiful and visually spectacular. Their transfer and check in process was swift and complete. The beach and main pool are better than any photo can capture. The hotel security is strict and keeps other tourists out, as Railay Beach is crowded, but Rayavadee is an oasis. When we return to Thailand, Rayavadee will be book for several nights.

From the second, you arrive in this paradise, tropical setting greeted by the Clearwaters, the White Sands, occasional monkey it’s just amazing to see With three beaches on each side of the resort, the east, the south and the west you are spoilt for choice . The pool is 44 m across, so you can really stretch yourself in the swimming pool if you want to . On an evening at 6:45, you can see the fruit bat migration out of the Princess lagoon overhead, heading off towards the Crabby fruit fields . Trip to the nearby islands, whether it’s pouring island, chicken island or bamboo Ireland or PP Island all of them are unique and amazing. Can you have to keep pinching yourself to remind yourself you are actually awake and it is not a dream .

Pick up in Krabi at private pier, takes about 20mins by speedboat to arrive. When we arrived we were absolutely blown away by the reception we received. We were staying in a garden pavillion Room 301. The surrounding gardens are the most beautiful I have ever been in. Very impressed with the accomodation, attention to detail is second to none. We spent the first day on Railay Beach by the pool, it is very busy here lots of boats, bringing day trippers and mostly supplied to all the bars and restaurants up Railay Street. The second day went to Phranang Beach and never went anywhere else after that, it is the most beautiful place. We used the water sports centre a lot, paddleboarding and kayaking, the boys there are great. You get a lot of footfall up the beach, day trippers taking photos, videos etc of the beautiful rocks and beach, make for very good people watching ! The service is great on the sunbeds, they keep bringing you fresh cold water, and fruit snacks and ice lollies throughout the day. The beach and swimming is beautiful and no rocks at all. There is a few reefs over by the rocks, however I was disappointed with the wildlife, only went snorkelling once, didn't bother again. The breakfast is amazing, everything you could possibly want. My partner had the thai buffet everyday. The wildlife in the gardens is lovely to see, there are monitor lizards just wandering about, and there are groups of Spectacled Monkeys and Macaques to entertain you on your walks. Finding your way round can be a bit challenging, you use either the M1 or M2 or the service roads. If you get lost, just enjoy the gardens and you will find your way eventually. A lot of the staff, see you looking lost and point you in the right direction. If you turn right along Railay Beach for about 200 mtrs you will turn right at the little blue bar, this takes you up Railay Street, where you will find lots of bars and restaurants at a fraction of the price. Massages are 400bht (£10) for an hour which are awesome. To sum up this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in, I cannot praise the staff, gardeners and everyone for such a beautiful well managed hotel. I would not hesitate to return. …

We are leaving Rayavadee today after 7 days. This was our second stay at Rayavadee and once again we have had an amazing week. This is our favorite resort of all! We are a family of 5 with three kids at the age of 9, 6 and 4. And to summarise why we a remain huge fans: - the scenarie is spectacular (100s of pictures will confirm) - and living with monkeys and tucans is a big experience for both kids and adults - the pool area has stunning views and is great for kids. And compared to other great hotels and resorts, kids are truly welcome and can play - breakfast is amazing - you can chose from a large a la carte menu as well as from a well assorted buffet. The quality of the food is incredible. We would come back just for the breakfast… - for dinner we ate at both the Thai restaurant and at the beach front terrace. We really like the atmosphere at the terrace - and not the least the service and staff we received. But food is great at both restaurants - finally, the staff is incredible kind and provides a fantastic service across the whole resort - at the pool, at the restaurants, cleaning - and even the kids Thai boxing was held with big enthusiasm.…

Sawadee kah! My wife and I stayed at Rayavadee mid February 2023 and had an absolutely amazing time! This resort is massive and is mainly made up of small 2 level bungalows (some with private pools) that have a living/relax room on the ground floor and bedroom on the 2nd floor (with the largest bed I've ever slept in...though the mattress is fairly FIRM). The rooms are definitely one of the highlights of staying here, a very unique "hotel room" where you literally feel like you are in a tree house on Gilligan's island. The grounds of this hotel are massive and immaculate, with 3 beaches, 3 restaurants, a large pool, and a breakfast area that is 2nd to none. You are literally sitting basically in the middle of a jungle, being served a wonderful breakfast that has anything you could want. The jungle vibes are real here, we saw monkeys/colorful birds every morning above us during breakfast, or simply walking down to the pool/restaurant in the evening. (Surprisingly friendly monkeys that kept to themselves!) Definitely book a evening at "The grotto" for their twilight dinner, you get to sit next to the beach in a private "cave" and watch the sun go down as you feast on delicious food (tomahawk steak was perfect!). We also really enjoyed our dinner at the Raitalay Terrace restaurant as again, we were seated right by the beach and watched the sun go down with very delicious Asian inspired dishes. The service here is absolutely perfect. From the check-in process ( shout out to our host Luna!) to the pool-side waiters, the people here are super friendly and attentive. We always had a full drink/ small snack/ beach towel/ you name it/ etc. We always try and order room service on our resort stays, just to see how it goes and here at Rayavadee they nailed it. We ordered something off the normal "in-room menu" without any issues whatsoever, and the food/drinks arrived within 20 minutes or so super hot and delicious! Like a well oiled machine, they have an excellent system/process setup and it really shows in the execution. One thing to keep in mind, this resort is definitely on the higher end when it comes to price point (5+ stars), and there are several other hotels on the island that are not... so if you leave the resort you will experience a whole mixed bag of other travelers enjoying Thailand. Just walking from the resort to the Railay west, you will encounter many back-packers, smoke shops, and bars catering to a more raw demographic. We had no issues with any of this during our stay, just something to realize since Railay is a fairly small beach/island and there are other resorts besides Rayavadee here. We didn't use any of the resort activities as we had booked other excursions (Phi Phi / Hong island / etc.) through other providers since the resort offering were absolutely on the high end in terms of price, however given how this resort is run I am 100% sure you get what you pay for as everything we experienced at the resort was incredible and on point. I would absolutely recommend this resort to anyone visiting or staying overnight on Railay, and would definitely love to return!…
