Railay Village Resort

First and foremost, I’ll start by saying that I love Railay Beach and this resort is in the perfect location on Railay West Beach from where you can access the walking street, the beach bars at the end of the walking street and stunning sunsets. The hotel’s two swimming pools are an oasis and the resort is very well landscaped and maintained. I loved my villa (with jacuzzi) and actually also loved the presence of the monkeys which are everywhere on Railay. The room was well equipped, had all amenities including a reasonably priced mini bar, beach bag, beach towels etc. I loved the front porch with the water lily pond and the frogs added to the feeling of being in a nature resort. All in all, I’d rate this resort pretty high. I did have a few issues however - on the first day, housekeeping didn’t come to service the room until after 3pm which was really not acceptable and I had to really kick up a fuss with reception to get it sorted (I was unwell on this day and wanted to sleep undisturbed). On the second day housekeeping forgot to replace the toilet rolls but by day 3 things were fine. Another gripe is the breakfast - it really wasn’t great. The coffee from the machine was actually quite disgusting and the food options from the buffet were poor both in choice and quality. Thankfully the egg station kept me happy but I would strongly suggest that the hotel up their game with their breakfast offering. Neither the Thai nor western options were particularly enjoyable. My biggest issue though was the fact that the side of the resort in which I was located backed into the walking street meaning that until around midnight, you could hear the music and noise from the bars on the walking street. I heard other guests complain to reception about this but sadly nothing could/was to be done - be warned therefor that if staying in rooms on the left side of the resort (when walking away from the beach) you will likely struggle to sleep before midnight.

My stay at Railay Village Resort was quite enjoyable. The resort itself is really nice, offering comfortable accommodations and good facilities. During our visit, there was some construction going on, but it was clear that this was just a temporary situation and didn't significantly detract from the overall experience. While Railay itself is often hyped for its stunning views and unique location, in our opinion, it didn't quite live up to the lofty expectations set by some reviews. It's undoubtedly beautiful, but the reality didn't match the hype for us. Additionally, the area can get super busy at times, which might affect the experience for those seeking a more serene getaway. Overall, Railay Village Resort is a nice place to stay if you're visiting the area. The resort provides a comfortable base to explore Railay, even if the destination itself might not be as extraordinary as some suggest.

The location onto West Railay beach and backing onto walking street is absolutely prime. The landscaping and main pool are both really good. But that's where the good stuff ends. The property is tired and needs maintenance. In the villas, there are cracks in the walls, sagging plasterwork, loose and worn tiles. The villas are dark and worn down. The breakfast area has recently been rebuilt although as a repeat customer, it basically looks the same and more importantly the breakfast is as terrible as it ever was. The egg station cook has no idea what they are doing and the fake bacon speaks for itself. The service is apathetic and the place has seen better days. It’s strange that they put so much emphasis on maintaining the landscaping and rebuilding the breakfast area when the villas are so bad and really need work.

Rooms are little villages, room is huge, has a separate space for the jacuzzi and comes with lots of amenities, breakfasts was good, needs a bit more of variety but let's be realistic, bringing food to this part of the island that is only accessible trough boat it's no easy task. The hotel it's right in front of the beak with huge cliff on the left side, views are awesome. It gets really calm after 6pm when people that don't stay here on Railay returns to their islands, so you basically have the whole place for yourselves. Everything is close, no more than 10 min walk, you have right next to the hotel a street with lots of restaurants bars and commerce.

At first sight, the room and bathroom looked amazing. Large space, big bed, jacuzzi, and walk-in shower. Bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, I assume there was a mould in the air-conditioning, I had an awful allergy. Smell in the shower was very unpleasant, it was hard to adjust water temperature, the pressure- disappointing. The roof in the bathroom was leaking in a few spots. I need to admit the room was not super bad, but for the price, I would expect much, much more. Overall, the staff was helpful in the hotel, but in the restaurant, it took ages to be served. Breakfast, poor and repetitive. The swimming pool was nice and the garden was beautiful. The location was good, Railay is a very busy spot (at least in Christmas time). I am sorry to write such a review, I will not recommend this place.

Wonderful relaxing resort we loved it here, the garden, pool and early Breakfast watching the Beach come alive was a highlight to every day , the Sunsets are spectacular too. The bed's are typical for Thailand and Very Hard, but getting up early was the best time for Breakfast and to take in the Morning Beach. Monkey's also frequently walk through the gardens and pool area which was very entertaining. Just don't give them a chance to steal your food. Staff we're extremely friendly and very helpful too. We didn't want to leave.

This is a beautiful resort located on the western side of Railay Beach, conveniently located next to the western beach for beautiful sunset views and near the bars and restaurants of the town. The resort itself is kept up to date, clean, comfortable beds, large room and bathroom, charming atmosphere, where you can see the monkeys in the trees. I was very happy with my three night stay here in early November.
