Outstanding property on Krabi island with private villas, infinity swimmings pools, incredible views of the limestone rock formations in a lush jungle setting. Breakfast every morning was a "feast" of Thai food with fresh juices and made to ordered specialities. Restaurants on property were very delicious and well prices. We saw several monkeys and birds. Luna was our personal contact for all activities and helped us coordinate our transportation to and from the island and made dinner reservations or excursion. I can't say enough about the property and the staff here. The only down side was the famous beaches surrounding Rayavadee - which is open to tourists and did get somewhat crowded during the day. Overall we highly recommend Rayavadee.

This is truly one of (if not THE) best hotel I have ever stayed at anywhere on earth. The setting, the service, the luxury is all out of this world. We stayed 4 nights here at the end of our Thailand trip (my wife, 6 year old daughter and myself) and what a way to finish! The boat arrived at the resort and the wow factor already starts. The place is beautiful. Framed by tall rocks and a lush green landscape with 3 lovely white sandy beaches. Arrival was very personal and Chai was our host. He told us everything we needed to know, escorted us to our room, shared his WhatsApp details so we could message him for anything we needed (we did and he was always quick and efficient in sorting everything out for us. Boat trips, restaurant reservations e.t.c.) Chai was fantastic! The room was superb and beyond expectations. A lovely living room downstairs and a luxurious bathroom and bed upstairs. The bed was perhaps the comfiest I have ever slept in! There was a turn down service every night and Chai even arranged our favourite fruits to be in the room each morning. One morning we woke up to a bit of rattling on the roof. Looked out of the window and there were about 6 monkeys playing in the trees including a baby one. What an experience to wake up to! The pool is superb with a warmer kids section and a fresher main section (all the perfect temperature though). We would usually end our days by the pool as the sun sets at this side of the resort but spend a lot of the day at the beach near the Grotto. Here we used the complimentary Kayaks to explore the rock opposite and walked up and down the beach which is stunning. We ate in every restaurant (one was closed for refurbishment) and the food was absolutely superb everywhere we went. The setting of the Railay Terrace and The Grotto is what holiday dining is made for. Great food, spectacular views and wonderful service. We did 2 boat trips to Chicken/Poda Island and to Hong Island (both run by the Rayavadee). These were amazing and I would definitely recommend it. You will probably get cheaper boat trips but in keeping with the hotel it is a luxury speedboat, a wonderful crew, nice fruit snacks provided and all the best snorkling equipment. Its well worth it. Our boat was running a little late back from one trip and we were going to miss the afternoon tea in the restaurant but they phoned ahead and kept it ready for us! Both of the islands we visited could only be described as Paradise. Lots of kids activities provided if you have little ones but very thoughtful and different. For example, tennis lessons, thai boxing, Thai language lessons. Not your usual stuff. There is so much to do if you want to, or if you just want to relax there are 3 beaches and an amazing pool too. Despite all this, the hotel feels very exclusive and not crowded at all. We are big fans of the Maldives and the luxury and wow factor felt very Maldives to us but also like it was true Thailand! It is part of the Leading Hotels of The World collection and never has a hotel been so deserving of it. Rayavadee gave us so many happy memories and we are already looking at coming back!…

A great choice to finish a vacation as it can hardly become better! Standalone pavillions in the middle of the forest, monkeys sometimes visible, three beaches to walk along (to swim only 2). Pavilions are super spacious, huge beds and a big bathroom, 2 toiletts (upstairs and downstairs), every day fresh fruits, plenty of choice for breakfast.

This has by far been my best vacation ever. The entire stay was luxurious, right from the speedboat pick up until the point we checked out. The check in was private, each guest was taken to an individual seating area and checked in personally by a member of staff. I planned this trip to celebrate an anniversary and my girlfriends birthday, for which the staff kindly placed some sparkling wine and cake in the room. The room was also so far above our expectations, it was in fact an entire 2 floor villa in the middle of a gorgeous green area amidst three beaches. The infinity pool was gorgeous, the beaches were beautiful and the views of the large rock formations were the just the tip of the iceberg. There were some bars and restaurants on a strip a short walk away from the hotel where you could find some great nightlife and make some friends. The breakfast food was amazing, we also booked “the grotto” restaurant which is quite literally the most picturesque place I’ve ever visited. The restaurant was in a cave overlooking railay beach. One thing I didn’t even know before coming was that they give you a free kayak trip for everyone staying, and we really enjoyed this and took it as a chance to swim up to some rocks in the distance and snorkel there. This was the highlight of our Thailand trip and I can’t wait to go back and visit with my family. The staff were also some of the nicest people we’ve ever met. One surprising thing was despite being in such a wooded area with so much greenery, we never saw any insects in our room! I’d highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Krabi…

Staff was rude and condescending, especially one of the male staff at the beach Saw him telling off people in a very rude way, certainly not how a five star resort staff should be behaving, very unprofessional.

The staff members were very friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Not only was the service top-notch, but the pavilion was also impeccably clean and well-appointed. It was evident that the hotel is vigilant in maintaining a hight standard in cleanliness throughout the property. We would like to express our gratitude to First, who was kind and helpful throughout our stay. However, our departure was rather stressful due to the sea conditions. Fortunately, Nok was there to provide tremendous assistance and support.

Though we only stayed here for 3 nights, it was an unbelievable stay that was very special. The staff truly go above and beyond. Each group that had arrived then had their own individual of staff walk through through the resort. This included highlighting things to see and do whilst staying there. We found this to be very helpful and time saving! We were then guided to our room and shown around the grounds. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The gardens are well kept and everything is clearly sign posted. We saw two different types of monkey which was so special! Then we arrived to our villa and wow, once again this had surpassed expectations - stunning! We walked in with our personal guide taking us through all the amenities the villa had to offer. We had let them know beforehand that we were celebrating our 10 year anniversary. In the bathroom there was a personalised note from the hotel manager along with flowers. After 10 minutes or so we get a knock on the door and have a complementary bottle of Prosecco, this got our stay off to an amazing start. The beaches surrounding the resort are truly beautiful, we kayaked and snorkelled one day, complimentary to the hotel. We ate at all the open restaurants and the food and drink were delicious. All in all, a faultless stay and we are looking forward to coming back at some point soon!…

Rayavadee in Krabi, Thailand, is truly a slice of paradise. My recent stay at this property was an exceptional experience from start to finish. One aspect that stood out to me was the incredible variety of food available. Whether it was local Thai delicacies or international cuisine, the dining options were outstanding. Each meal was a delightful journey for my taste buds, and the quality and presentation were impeccable. The property itself is nestled amidst lush greenery and surrounded by breathtaking views. The serene atmosphere and stunning natural beauty created a perfect setting for relaxation. I found myself spending hours by the pool, taking in the awe-inspiring vistas of limestone cliffs and crystal-clear waters. It was a true feast for the eyes and a tranquil retreat for the soul. The amenities at Rayavadee were top-notch. The spa offered a range of rejuvenating treatments, leaving me feeling completely refreshed and renewed. The staff were warm, friendly, and always ready to assist, making me feel welcomed and valued throughout my stay. Their genuine hospitality added an extra touch of comfort and made me feel like a VIP. The Grotto sunset dinner is a must do! Make sure to book in advance to get a wholesome experience and try some of the best seafood with a touch of luxury. In conclusion, Rayavadee is a hidden gem that offers an unforgettable experience. From the delectable dining options to the relaxing amenities and breathtaking views, every aspect of this property exudes luxury and tranquility. I highly recommend Rayavadee to anyone seeking a rejuvenating escape with a touch of paradise.…
