Rayavadee Resort

Wonderful and amazing place. Everyone there was very nice and friendly. The best services ever. Love to be back there soon.

Best point: location of the hotel is unique nestled among a thai national park and beautiful beaches . This hotel is a must try if you come to Thailand . There is no other place like this in Thailand. Villas: it’s a 2 storey villa with the bedroom on the 2nd floor and living room on the ground floor. I didn’t find this layout practical as we had to keep walking up and down the stairs. But I guess it helps maximize space and the hotel can have more villas on its property by building upwards . Note however that The villa is a bit outdated. Sleep: sleep quality was good. Bed is on the hard side which I like. We had two queen bed in a deluxe villa that can accommodate 2 adults and 1 teenager. Air conditioning worked perfectly. We saw some mosquitoes in the room but kept the aircon cold so the mosquitoes won’t bite . Food: the Thai food at pra nang restaurant was so good it should deserve a Michelin star. Grotto restaurant has dinner set menu of seafood and steak and on the high price side . Service: service was professional except that: before check out at around 11.45am , a staff came to check our mini bar to see if we consumed anything. I think this is not appropriate for 5 star resort and it feels intrusive and it’s like sending a message to the guests to hurry up and check out by noon. No other 5 star resort would do this . I would come back if I can get good discount on room rate.

We really loved the way we were treated during check-in. The warm welcome at the entrance — with everyone greeting us with smiles and a garland — was truly impressive! The check-in process was quick and seamless, and we even received a free room upgrade, which was such a pleasant surprise. The breakfast spread was great, and the taste was equally good. The location is absolutely stunning, especially the Phranang Beach area — truly picture-perfect. Our stay at Rayavadee was overall amazing! From arrival to departure, everything was smooth and beautifully managed. The property, staff, and hospitality were all top-notch. The only letdowns were the spa and Grotto experiences. At the spa, I had booked a back, head, and neck massage, but only my back was actually massaged — the neck was completely skipped, and the head massage lasted barely 2–3 minutes and was done dry, without any oil. The session also ended earlier than the mentioned time, which made it feel rushed and not worth the price. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend the spa service here. At the Grotto, the staff didn’t seem very welcoming and looked like they were waiting for us to leave rather than enjoying serving the guests present. They seemed more focused on preparing for the evening setup. We also had an odd experience where a grilled dish we ordered was later told to be unavailable, which felt strange and unconvincing. Apart from these two experiences, everything else during our stay was perfect and truly memorable. The resort is stunning, and we’d still highly recommend Rayavadee for its beauty, location, and exceptional hospitality!

Everything was perfect!!! Our host Luna made our vacantion wonderful .We will definitely be back. We liked so much, next time we will come with the entire family.

The marketing and reviews of a dream resort are true. The accommodations are so well designed, beautiful and comfortable . The staff from top to bottom are an incredible team. Never experienced such a great resort and it was worth every cent spent. The property is over the top in its location and accessibility to spectacular beaches. Walking the property is literally a walk through a paradise and so well maintained. A dream come true. There is no need to leave the property or Railay.
