Rayavadee

Overall, our stay was pleasant, but there were a few issues that negatively affected our experience. The airport transfer to the resort was a major disappointment. The car was in very poor condition, with a moldy smell, trash left inside the vehicle, and none of the seatbelts were functioning. We also had to wait a long time for the driver to arrive. It felt unprofessional and more like a random ride service rather than a hotel-arranged transfer, which did not feel safe or appropriate for a hotel of this standard. We were also very disappointed with the restaurant Grotto, which felt like a scam. It was recommended by the hotel that we change our plans and visit on a specific evening when a buffet was being offered, which raised our expectations but unfortunately made the experience even more disappointing. The service was essentially nonexistent. We had to clear our own table, fetch our own water when moving tables, and even though we repeatedly tried to get the staff’s attention to order more drinks, we received no service at all, despite a service charge always being included. We shared this feedback at the reception, and the following day the manager followed up with us, apologized, and acknowledged the situation.

This was hands down the best hotel experience in all of Thailand. You will not be disappointed. True 5 star experience.

Incredible stay, everything was perfect.

Amazing hotel with BIG rooms and great location. Great stuff service and amazing food. The hotel located between Railay Beach and another Beach so you can enjoy both of them

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, Rayavadee was simply fabulous. The staff deserve a special mention, they were attentive, genuinely warm and went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our visit was perfect. The food was superb quality and every meal was a culinary delight. The hotels surroundings are absolutely beautiful, with stunning views. This created a serene and breathtaking backdrop for a relaxing getaway. We highly recommend Rayavadee and cannot wait to return.

Resort is beatiful and staff is very nice, polite, exceptional breakfast staff! The a la carte and buffet breakfast is plentiful/comfortable. The resident langur monkeys are an incredible delight, very different from the capuchins. The mixology department here at the bar needs a ton of work, especially when they are charging miami prices for all of their beverages and producing drinks similar to the bars on walking street. The pool area is beautiful and the beach at phang nga is why I would stay here again for the 500 nightly price tag. I would not pay a K and I'll tell you why. We understand that this is not an adults only establishment, but people at the hotel need to control their kids. Naked kids running around, both peeing in the pool and on the sand is not cute, especially for couples that pay to get away from that. Secondly, during teatime 3 times weekly, I personally witnessed a 10yr old just lick the community condiment spoons that everyone uses. Also, people come here often to experience the cave/cliff restaurant the Grotto. Durring the three nights we stayed here it was closed for two of them for privat events/weddings...when we were leaving we heard the concierge telling the couple checking in, it will be closed again during their stay for certain days. Like I said prior, place is beatiuful. We are in Thailand yearly and this one tops the charts. We will be back, strictly for the phang nga beach access, nice breakfast, and exceptional staff.

We spent a weekend at the Rayavadee with friends. Staying here is probably one of the most unique experiences you will have. Right from the unique boat transfer (yes it’s on an island, which for some reason wasn’t too clear whilst booking the rooms). Won’t divulge details of the boat transfer! The welcome was exceptional and the property is super quiet and beautiful. The rooms are duplex chalets (again a pleasant surprise as it didn’t seem to be clear enough in the posting). Super luxurious rooms surrounded by the most lush forest like cover with enough windows. It will come as a huge surprise that this property is 39 yrs old as everything in here is super modern and up to date. The bed needs a special mention. Again one of the largest we have ever slept on. An entire family of two adults and two young children could sleep on one bed. It’s way bigger than a King size. The Grotto is a unique dining experience although you not only have to confirm well In advance but also tell them what you will eat at least one day prior. If not, they will turn you away as they only prepare what you said you will eat. And be ready to pay for the most expensive dinner you have had in a long time. But worth every penny as unlikely you will get another setting quite like this one. Overall food isn’t top class at any of the restaurants but that I will leave for you to judge. We are not foodies so we don’t mind.. This is a place we would definitely want to return. Memorable!

We’ve been here multiple times and always have a wonderful time! This place is truly paradise :)
