The room view and atmosphere is unique and beautiful. You can see monkeys out of your room in the morning, truly magical ! The swimming pool is also amazing.

The noise coming from the long tail boats is really annoying, from 6am all day until 11pm, I thought it would be okay when taking the reservation but I was surprised by how loud it is the first night there. Also, the locations is a + and a - at the same time. You are truly immersed in nature , but the walk back to railay center gets annoying really quickly ( 15min from the hotel to the main road )

The views are incredible, breakfast is pretty decent, really good in fact, the facilities are always very clean.

There’s rats that go into the rooms. First night I found mouse poop but didn’t think much of it, the hotel is in the jungle after all. But second day two mice woke me up. I got up and was able to see where they were coming in from, and once again, there was poop all over the desk. It is the jungle, but maybe do a better inspection and maintenance of the rooms to fill up any holes.

The property was beautiful and well maintained, the rooms were very unique and we had an amazing view out over the bay. The pool was gorgeous overlooking the bay as well. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It is family friendly which is nice to see with a luxury resort! When you see pictures and videos of Thailand resorts, this is usually the type of resort you're seeing! There are monkey families all around, lizards and birds. The restaurant is overlooking the ocean. Its really beautiful!

It is not easily accessible and it should be noted somewhere that large luggage (wheeled suitcase) is not recommended. Also that it is about 1km walk from the drop off pier to the resort. It is secluded which is nice, but the long walk with our luggage was not expected. The property also has steep concrete paths which were a bit of a hazard, but not unbearable. The treehouses also has many holes to the outside so we had a bunch of critters (salamanders, giant cockroach, mosquitoes) come in the room every night. The bed has mosquito netting around it though.

really nice place, in the «middle of nowhere » not right in the middle of railey beach, so not in the middle of all the tourists, really like it. staff were friendly, room was huge!!

i liked everything, the only thing to be aware of is that you need to take the boat to go there ( of course there’s no cars on this side of the island, which i like ) but after that you need to walk like 1.5/2km to go to the resort, with a lot of luggage it’s a bit complicated !

We really enjoyed our stay here. Great location. Room was lovely, slept very well. Loads of wildlife around the resort. The pool was amazing and when we were swimming in the evening there were bats flying over our heads. We also had a couple of mouse/chinchilla/rat type animals which had a little routine in our room at a certain time of night, we named one Cotton Eyed Joe, because we don't know where he come from, and we don't know where he go. The airport transfer was really well organised and useful.

Breakfast didn't seem like good value for the money, would go for the room-only option next time. Internet was intermittent for most of our stay and off for a couple of days.

We were hesitant to book this hotel because we saw so many different opinions about it. In the end, we LOVED it and wished we could have stayed longer. This hotel is for you if: - You come to Railay to enjoy the scenery and be close to nature. The hotel is located in a patch of jungle so expect animals and insects — which we thought was lovely. The views of the sea and the limestone cliffs are wonderful, both from the rooms, the restaurant and the pool. - You don’t mind a little walking. The hotel is about 20mn away from the junction between Railay East/West. The walk is SUPER nice. The first bars and restaurants are 5mn away. Also, the walk to the cottages is short but steep.

This hotel is not for you if: - You want to be close to the busier part of Railay with shops, restaurants, bars and activities at hand. - Want something modern and highly comfortable. The hotel is a bit rundown because it was closed for so long during COVID and you can tell. The room we had had been partly renovated so we didn’t mind at all. - You have limited mobility. - You’re not comfortable with wildlife.

Great views, very nice rooms, lovely pool, lots of wildlife. Very helpful staff. Rooms very private. As the information states the resort is on a very steep hill and you might have a bit of a walk to your room, that’s why the views are so good and the rooms so private. Good lighting and torches provided.

Everything and everyone (including all the workers in Railay) comes by long tail boat which go right past the hotel so it is pretty hectic and noisy especially “rush hour” am and pm.

I know getting to the property can take some time but actually our 4 yo loved the way to it from the town - through the jungle :) if you arrive with a small children just take a boat instead and the staff is there to help you. We loved the location. The staff is amazing and the pool is great. For us a perfect place to hit all the adventures of the Railey bay!

Overall issue of the of the bay is amount of trash. That includes the beach where this resort is located. I dont think they can do much about it but just dont expect to enjoy the beach life around. It is definitely more of a jungle kinda experience with great beach 15 min away - and we loved it!

I didn’t want to leave! It’s amazing! The hotel is well maintained, the staff is helpful. I’ll try to summarize. I think it’s more beautiful than what you see on the pictures. -location: 15min walk from Railey East Pier and the shops. It’s not that far and it’s a nice walk. It’s good that it’s away from the crowds and the view is beautiful. (Many hotels located in the center do not have the same beautiful view and landscape that we had, actually in the center you see the mangrove and the pier). -The hotel is quiet, all you hear is the sound of nature. I’ve read that some people complained about the noise from the long tail boats… we didn’t hear them. -room: wonderful. New. Well decorated. The view of the trees and the sea. Hot water in the shower always (every cottage has its own heating system I think). WiFi worked very well. Comfortable bed. -Pool: big, has a nice view, and you can order food during lunch. (Dome, the staff in charge of the food service by the pool, was so nice!). -Breakfast: good variety and delicious. Buffett with the view of the beach. (The coffee was expresso!) -Restaurant: there’s a wide variety, Thai and western, good quality and reasonable prices (same as eating at a restaurant) -Beach: hotel has a small beach, but it’s not so beautiful during the low tide. But you can walk 25min to Railey west o Phra Nang. -monkeys: we saw a family of gibbons (amazing) but they don’t approach people. -there weren’t mosquitoes -massage: you can book a massage in advance. It costs double as outside, anyway I do recommend it since the service is much better than outside and in a more private space (there’s a place near the pool)

Please take note that if you can’t walk up a slope or need special assistance, it can be a bit difficult to reach the room. The hotel is 15min walk from the center (it was ok for us, it’s a nice walk, but some people don’t like it); and you have to be careful because there’re some holes on the walkway. They don’t sell cocktails, but there’s a nice bar 5min away.

The resort is in a very unique location having a wonderful mix of beach and jungle. We particularly liked the style of the house with a lot of natural wood decor. There is a section of room you can lay down with a glass view of the jungle. The facilities were great having a reasonably priced menu and a great room-service. The room itself was surprisingly spacious and the bathroom was so so modern, supporting a bath and shower.

No complaints about the property itself just that we did book the accommodation in September so the weather was pretty repetitive; Rain throughout the night and early morning with potential of it stopping in the afternoon or evening. Be Prepared to get your feet wet! No matter where you book, the pathways will be flooded in the morning (still walkable), so don't expect a smooth early walk to the beach. It was still a fun experience!
