The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Beautiful Bungalows

I really loved the design of the bungalows at Railay Great View Resort. Surrounded by lush jungle, they felt like a true escape. The wooden decor added a lovely touch, and I even enjoyed watching a family of monkeys play in the trees right outside my balcony. The room was spacious and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay.

Stunning Pool Ambiance

The infinity pool at Railay Great View Resort was definitely one of the highlights of my stay. The views were amazing! I loved relaxing poolside with a delicious mango smoothie, and while there were some insects, it only added to the jungle experience. The peaceful environment was perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploration.

Tasty Breakfast Selection

I found the breakfast at the resort to be quite satisfactory. It offered a good variety of options, ranging from international dishes to local favorites. I particularly enjoyed the fresh eggs made to order and the delicious tropical fruits. It was a great way to start the day before heading out to explore.

I had a wonderful experience at this resort, immersed in stunning nature and a tranquil atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and had a beautiful view, perfect for relaxation. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but service at the reception could use improvement. The location is great for exploring local beaches, but there are steep walks involved. Overall, it's an excellent spot if you're looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature.

We had a lovely time at Railay Great View Resort, with stunning views and spacious, beautiful cottages. The service, however, was inconsistent; while some staff were friendly, others left much to be desired. The dining experience was a bit disappointing as the vegetarian options were quite limited. Overall, a decent stay but it's important to know the cottages may not be suitable for larger families.

Staying at this resort was quite an adventure! Nestled on a hillside, it provides stunning views and a serene atmosphere, but be prepared for some steep walks to your room. The value for money is decent, especially with the included breakfast, although the noise from the nearby longtail boats can be a bit disruptive at night. Overall, it's a delightful place if you enjoy nature and don't mind a bit of hiking.

Rooms

7.0

Our room was spacious and surrounded by nature, but the air conditioning could be quite hot upon arrival because it only activates with the room key. There was also a broken glass terrace door, which left a small gap.

The location is exceptional for its views and seclusion, but the steep paths to the rooms can be quite challenging, especially after a long day out. You'll also hear the longtail boats throughout the day and night.

The resort offers beautiful and well-equipped rooms with stunning views, making it perfect for a romantic getaway. However, reaching the location can be a bit challenging, and the dining experience leaves much to be desired. While the surroundings are picturesque, the restaurant's quality doesn't match the rest of the amenities. Overall, it's a relaxing stay, but I'd consider staying closer to the beach next time.

The service was generally okay, but the restaurant staff seemed overwhelmed at times, affecting the dining experience. The housekeeping did a fine job in keeping everything tidy.

Location

The resort is located on a hill, which provides a great view but makes access a bit tricky. It's secluded, surrounded by jungle, and requires a boat transfer, which some might find inconvenient.

Dining

The dining experience was disappointing with poor food quality, which forced us to venture out to find better options. Breakfast was acceptable but far from impressive.

Facilities

The pool area was nice, providing a relaxing environment, but there weren't enough umbrellas for shade, so it could get quite hot.

I had an enjoyable stay at the resort, which had its ups and downs. The bungalows were comfortable and clean, providing a lovely environment, but the noise from the long tail boats was quite disruptive at times. The location felt remote yet rich with nature, although the distance to the main attractions could be a challenge for some. Dining options were okay, but could use improvement. Overall, it's a decent option for the price, especially if you're planning on being out and about most of the day.

Rooms

8.0

The bungalows were simple yet charming, clean and spacious with lovely views visible through the trees. However, the hike to reach some of them can be quite intense.

Service

7.0

While communication was sometimes challenging due to limited English skills, the staff were polite and tried to assist whenever they could.

Location

6.0

The resort is nestled in the hills, surrounded by lush greenery which adds to its charm but also means you're quite far from Railay beach. The noise from the boats can make it difficult to enjoy the peace you'd expect in such a setting.

Dining

5.0

Dining was hit or miss; breakfast was basic and the vegetarian options fell flat. However, some dishes at lunch and dinner were good.

Facilities

The infinity pool was a highlight, offering a nice relaxation spot after a day of exploring, but it could get crowded. The overall amenities were fine, although lacking in some areas.
