Hotels in Ko Racha Yai

Good location. Big room. Excellent service in the restaurant. Personal thanks to reception employee A. Best Regards to all staff of this hotel :) The prices for food in restaurant is high if compare with average prices for food in Thai. We used another restaurant in the island. Big advice for turists - take with you more cash, because there is no any ITM on the island and some chip and good restaurant doest'n accept visa card.

it's a fantastic location, right on a pristine beach. nice size rooms, we had the swimming pool view room so it was great. not too many people either. excellent resort for an escape... staff is ok, kind enough to apologize for their mistakes (see my following comments) by upgrading us and allowing us to check out late for free. well I am not sure if you can rank this hotel as a 5 stars... it's very good but not excellent enough... agree with the previous comments, when you enter the resort it seems uncomplete. I would say it's rather an eco-resort with excellent room standard but don't expect much from reception/restaurant and any other facilities. staff forgot to come to pick us up at the pier on the island (had to walk around 700m with luggages...). and breakfast is very limited in terms of choice...

The beach is perfect, probably the best on island and this island is one of the prettiest in Thailand for sure. The other beach, where the Racha resort is located (Patok beach) is very beautiful but full of tourists. The Siam bay beach is much more relaxing, tranquil, the color of water is amazing. The breakfast is right on the beach in small restaurant. Not many people in the morning and evening, you can often be the only one having dinner on the beach. Definitely a paradise for someone who needs a real vacation away from busy Patong beach. The accommodation is very nice, we stayed at the lagoon view room. On your arrival you will be probably surprised with the surrounding of the hotel. It is located behind the beach in palm tries. My only remark is that the hotel should make the surrounding more nice. Everything is a bit untidy and many things are just left like half finished, like some works are still going on, though the surrounding of the very rooms is nice. All this is not so important because you have a perfect beach, but it would definitely improve the impression. The wifi internet should also be available and the breakfast should have more variety. But, again, when you are on this beach and this island all this is not so important as the nature is really spectacular.

The friendliness of the staff - exceptional: e.g. free extra bed in our room for our daughter, room made up exactly when we wanted it (during our breakfast), free fresh fruit from time to time. Most staff speak good English. But most importantly: the beauty of the island, the wonderful long, empty beach, the many local restaurants: good and cheap. Our daughter loved the horse riding: one hour stretched for a whole morning, with gallops through jungles and along beaches. We adults loved the tranquility and, most of all, the sea view from our large and beautiful room! The breakfast was ample (the fresh fruit very good) but overall monotonous. The large and sprawling grounds were unnecessarily untidy - a mix between a 2* and a 4*. And all in all, the price of our sea-view room - 7.000 THB p/n - was way too high, particularly as we stayed 7 nights (no reduction!), Otherwise, we loved every minute!

The staff was ecxellent, very well trained and friendly. The breakfast was the best I ever had. The villas are dreamy, the group singing by the pool in the afternoons lovely. Though upon check out they told me that the laundry bag was missing from my room and made me take it ot of my siutcase take all my laundry out and give it back (come on people it was just a laundry bag!!!) they didn't notice that I had forgotten my bathing suits in the room..and I loved those bathing suits...other than that it was an amazing experience!
