Absolutely loved the property and the pavilion that we stayed in was gorgeous

I read that Railay Beach was busy - but it was insanely busy! The boats that lined up daily did spoil the view and atmosphere… also it made the area extremely noisy due to the engines - it sounded like a motorbike meet up!

Greenery

Other one spa discount for honeymoon they don't really make you feel as special where as big brands from IHG or marriort gives you 20-30% off on everything plus points to stay during honeymoon. They don't really go above and beyond for the customer even though you spent like 4k to 5 $.

the resort in the middle of the jungle, the sunbeds on the ocean shore, the beach and the scenery on the beach

the food at the Thai restaurant on Sunday evening together with the service that evening - probably the chef and half of the staff were missing, the massage offered free of charge by a person without experience and without proper hygiene, the lack of local fruit at breakfast - they didn't have papaya , mango, jack fruit

Unforgettable Luxury: My Experience at Rayavadee Rayavadee is undeniably one of the best hotels I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with exceptional service that surpassed all my expectations.

Their dedication to ensuring a high-class experience for every guest is truly commendable. The attention to detail and the luxurious amenities provided by Rayavadee contributed to an unforgettable stay. From the elegantly appointed accommodations to the exquisite dining options and the stunning natural beauty surrounding the resort, every aspect of my experience was truly exceptional. Without a doubt, Rayavadee offers a high-class experience that is unparalleled. My stay at this luxurious hotel will forever be etched in my memory, and I look forward to returning to indulge in its splendor once again.

staff were fantastic, room beautiful and clean, complimentary activities each day - we got complimentary tea before check out. had twilight dinner in the grotto which was beautiful.

the hotel made it out like it had its own private area of the beach and the grotto was entirely private but when you sit on a lounger people lie on the beach looking at you from a few metres away and the grotto as we were out for twilight dinner there were people sunbathing on towels in front of us. this did not disturb our stay and we still had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend but I was just surprised about this at the time.

The outlay- just villas, no big complex, spread out in nature. We saw many different kind of monkeys, waran and enjoyd time at the pool. Close to busy touristy restaurants, massage places, shops- really nice if you want to buy inexpensive souvenirs,…

The noise of the many boats arriving near the breakfast area and sometimes the smell of the motor. Many tourists who don’t belong to the hotel climb along the sunbeam of the resort as the beach is public. No warning of the jellyfish but luckily you were prepared with vinegar so it is probably something that happens often?!?

Incredible location of the hotel, magical views and access to 3 beaches from the hotel. 100% recommend to visit this place to experience the beauty of Krabi. The staff is very friendly and professional, the pick up from the airport was excellent, we have 3 small kids and I was amazed how caring and attentive the staff was during the pick up. The hotel doesn't have kids club, however they have a schedule of very nice activities for kids and adults - cooking classes, crafting and cave climbing. Also staff is very kids oriented, my kids loved cooking class and bookmark making. Food for breakfast has a good selection, Grotto is a bit overrated, but still a nice experience. The restaurant next to the pool and Thai restaurant are also good. Infinity Pool is a very chilled and relaxing place, overall hotel doesn't feel busy even if it's fully booked, and the privacy is great.

Grotto restaurant is much smaller than it looks on the website and a little bit pricey, however the food was good and we had a good time. Rooms decor feels outdated, but well maintained. The gym can be improved in the hotel.

We really loved everything about Rayavadee. I dont think we've ever met nicer people than the people in Thailand, especially at the hotel. The fact that the hotel is located in the jungle makes it such a unique experience. The smell of the jungle forest and seeing wild monkeys play in the trees was just too good. We also saw monkeys from our bedroom! In the morning you have all the beaches to yourself before the tourists come in per boat. Also, the food was really good. They have different restaurants and we tried them all. Please try the chocolate dessert.. we ordered it from our room, im not sure what its called anymore but it was the best dessert ever.

We stayed too short!

fabulous location, super friendly staff, awesome room

great location, but unfortunately mass tourism and the noisy long boats mean that this is not an exclusive resort. So whilst it is expensive resort, do not expect t an exclusive experience, as you are essentially sharing your experience with all the day trippers and backpackers,

Fantastic, sprawling resort surrounded by beaches in a stunning location. The resort itself is lush and full of wildlife (monkeys, monitor lizards etc.) which makes it feel much more authentic and peaceful than the rest of Railay Bay, which is busy and over-developed. Phranang Beach in particular is beautiful, quiet in the morning and evening (when day-trippers have left) and bereft of the long-tail boats that blight Railay and Namtao beaches. Two of the resort restaurants face onto Phranang so offer stunning views while you eat.

Considering this is an expensive resort and Railay Bay is accessible only via sea, it is inexcusable that they could not offer an inclusive transfer either for arrival or departure. While they did offer transfer options, these were very overpriced compared to local alternatives. Resort restaurants were decent but also disproportionately overpriced to their quality. Likewise, the spa was good but did not offer value for money compared to cheaper local options. Railay Bay is a popular day-trip destination so be prepared for hordes of tourists during the day. The resort is sprawling and easy to get lost in, although they do offer a complimentary buggy service.
