Railay Great View Resort

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

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!!

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.

The area is really pretty, lots of nature. The breakfast has many options, both asian and continental breakfast, and the views are amazing. We booked the transport from airport to the resort and everything went smoothly. The pool was beautiful! We were also able to see monkeys and big squirrels from the hotel.

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)
