this is an incredibly well managed property, the service is fantastic without being obsequious, the location is a slice of heaven. It is a self contained world of tranquility, but unlike many resorts of the same caliber it is not isolating. A few minutes walk down the beach brings you to one of the coolest little beach towns in Thailand.

Amazing Place!

We had an excellent time at the Rayavadee. It has a great location with access to multiple amazing beaches, an awesome pool, four delicious restaurants, great excursion offerings, beautiful gardens, and spacious accommodations. Despite all this, the best thing about Rayavadee is its people. The resort has a large staff and everyone is always smiling and willing to go out of their way to make your stay unforgettable. There are things to do in the nearby town, but we rarely left the resort (except for excursions to the Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay) because we loved it there so much. Highly recommend!

We stayed at Rayavadee last week for three nights. The grounds and scenery were absolutely beautiful. However, this is not a 5 star hotel. The rooms are outdated but still comfortable which is just fine. However, the food was extremely disappointing. The worst meals we had our entire trip was at this hotel which is really unacceptable for how expensive it is. I wanted to love this hotel - but I would never stay here again.
