Hotels in Railay Beach, Krabi

While my recent stay at the hotel had its downsides, there were some positives worth mentioning. The location was truly beautiful, with stunning surroundings that made for a picturesque setting. Additionally, the concierge staff were very helpful and friendly, going out of their way to assist us throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the hotel itself felt run down, with noticeable signs of neglect. We were also significantly overcharged compared to other guests, and to top it off, were charged an extra 900 THB for a bed that was uncomfortable and barely usable. This left us feeling frustrated and unfairly treated. Despite the lovely location and excellent concierge service, the overall experience left much to be desired.

Great Experience Overall Our stay at the hotel exceeded our expectations. The facilities were excellent, the staff very kind, and everything was very clean. During our stay, we stayed in two different rooms. The first room was a bit older, with the only issue being a strong odor coming from the bathroom drains. Aside from that, the room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The second room we stayed in was much newer, with an excellent bathroom and very good, comfortable facilities overall. The only drawback in this room was the pillows, which were not very comfortable. The hotel's location is very good. Although it faces the less pleasant side of the beach (Railay East), overlooking a mangrove, it is directly in front of the floating pier, the main arrival point for the beach. It also has a back exit that leads almost directly to the small town center and is just a few minutes' walk to Railay West, the more beautiful side of the beach. Overall, the cost-benefit is definitely worth it.

Excellent hotel magnificent rooms just the AC to close to the bed you cannot sleep with the AC on same you cannot sleep without, I think hotel need a small fitness center instead two swimming pools we stayed 5 nights we really need to make some exercise after so many days , considering the amazing hotel level restaurant needs to offer some seafood bbq options you can find outside anyway

We stayed at this resort in March 2023 having reviewed all local hotels in detail in advance on trip advisor/ google. We are delighted we did this as we were very happy with this hotel. To summarise: - Location: Railay is beautiful and by being on the quieter part you get the benefit of being quieter and less touristy, whilst still being within 5 mins walk to main part. Much better to stay here that Ao Bang Beach. Railay is fantastic! You can reach there by boat, but can be expensive to get back after 6pm (we paid 2k baht as could not find anyone coming back at 10pm) - Pool and lounge area: Stunning view, good size pool and pool bar! Be careful with food as we got robbed by a monkey, rather amusing! - Staff: incredibly polite! - Food: we did not have dinner but the breakfasts were superb (as a meat eater). However, my wife is vegan and struggled. I would recommend the hotel provide at least a few options for vegans. Veganism is growing world wide and there is an opportunity to get ahead here! - Hotel room: our deluxe grand room was a great size and stunning. Only issue was it was slightly dark but nothing can be done about this as we were on ground floor. I would also recommend more water be given for guests in the warmer season. - Hotel grounds: breath taking. I recall our second night coming home at night for the first time from a different angle saying this place looks stunning only to be pleasantly told by my wife that this was in fact our hotel! :) - Top tips. 1) MUST Walk to the main beach and ask at the boat hut counter (on the beach, a little stand) for a private early sunrise 4 island tour. You will need to get there by 6am. We did this and had the islands to ourselves. It was incredible. I would have paid 5 times the amount we paid. 2) you can do Railay/nearby area in 3 days. 3) if you come outside of dec-feb it can be a little quiet. We were slightly disappointed how quiet it was. All in all, great hotel and hope the above helps future tourists!

This resort is backpacker / budget quality at 4* rates due to it's location. Whilst the location is perfect and the view from the pool is stunning with the dramatic limestone cliff backdrop, the accommodation severely lets this place down. The rooms are clean but seriously need upgrading and maintenance:- broken beds, mould on the wall, sewage smell in bathroom, old fashioned huge TV with no aerial connection (no tv), locks on doors were not secure and no safe in the room (valuables carried on person at all times), plugs tap3d up ir inaccessible, sheets and towels with holes in. Breakfast: If you only want fruit, yoghurt and museli, it's fine. The hot food was not nice, awful instant coffee, no fruit juice - only watered down orange squash. Ants all over clean plates. Check in: The rooms were not ready after check in time. Pool: The pool area is lovely however, the pool water was milky and you couldn't see the bottom. The pool lougers were very hard. There was a huge pile of rubbish being burned daily in the garden area. There is no spa.

This is just a lovely place. From the rooms, the beaches, the service, the food, the landscaping: just about everything is perfect. The two of us stayed in Deluxe Pavilion 309; this had a nice view of the greenery around us from the 2nd floor large window. We preferred not to sit in the patio area on the 1st floor because of a lack of privacy. The two main beaches (Phranang and Railay) are both lovely, we preferred swimming in Phranang and walked on both of them, Phranang was about a 10 minute walk for us and Railay about a 5 minute walk. The walks through the property are just lovely, they have done a fantastic job of landscaping with all kind of tropical plants, but we also took advantage of the golf cart rides when it was raining. The breakfast (which is included) is served till 11 am and has a lot of nice a la carte and buffet style options. We didn't go the Grotto (did not look so special to us and seemed overpriced), but ate at the other two hotel restaurants: Krua Phranang and Raitalay Terrace; both were excellent (and had lovely views of the beach) and we also enjoyed the cocktails at the 4-6 pm happy hour at Raitalay Terrace. The swimming pool is lovely and also has a great veiw of Railay beach. The service at Rayavadee was just exceptional; we want to give a shout out to Joy, who was our server during breakfast, she was just fantastic. We were here during the off-season, the prices are a little lower, and while it did rain a fair amount when were here, we still got to the beach a couple of times a day. All in all, a fantastic stay, we will be back.

The location of this hotel is very good, just near the West Beach Pier. You can take a boat from Ao Nang Beach and it's only a two-minute walk after getting off the boat. It's about a five-minute walk to East Beach Pier. Check in went smoothly. When you arrive before check-in time, you can store your luggage first. The hotel's garden is beautiful, the room is spacious, and the swimming pool is beautiful. The restaurant is facing the beach, there are only three or four staff members, which seems a bit busy.

Absolutely loved our 4 days here and am surprised by the negative reviews. Yes it's a bit of a walk from town but that means you get away from any noise and puts you in the middle of trees surrounded by monkeys, birds, squirrels and monitor lizards etc - just fantastic. Didn't have single bug in our rooms and the staff were helpful and friendly. The inclusive breakfast was also pretty good and welcome to save another 20 min walk in to town each day. The state of the steep paths up to the bungalows also means that it won't suit everyone and may not be the best choice with lots of luggage or if not steady on your feet but we loved it (with light rucksacks..).

The Hotel is very good to relax, we had a garden view with lots of green and it was perfect to shutting off all thoughts from Home/Work/Family and so on. It has a pleasant walking distance to the west and east beach ! Also they have an every 2 hour Tuk Tuk to pick you up from the beaches or to the beaches ! By Request, they also drive you there out of schedule which was really nice, but as I said the two Beaches are not that far to walk by. The Pool is clean and has a small cute snack & cocktailbar with a big veranda as well. the Prices are very affordable for a Hotel and the Breakfast are good as well, changing 2-3 Menus everyday but the standad Ham, Toast, Pancake, scrambled Eggs are fixed ofc ! really delicious

This resort offers a breathtaking view and somehow made me feel like I am co-existing with nature. I loved how scenic our mornings were with the view of the ocean and the majestic islands across the resort. There were really cute resident monkeys as well and were pretty chill. They even had free breakfast, it was simple but decent enough to get the day started.
