It was good in overall but cant say value for money.food was unreasonably expensive
5.0
Rayavadee exceeded my expectations. It is a stunning resort. The grounds are like a nature reserve. Monkeys and grey squirrels in abundance. The pavilion accommodation was impeccable with a living area on ground floor and the bedroom on the 2nd floor. Service was amazing and we were made to feel so special. I’ve always longed to stay in this resort and it didn’t disappoint
5.0
Most amazing stay, with everything beyond expectations. Great and attentive staff but the natural and breathtaking setting is unmatched. Also the wildlife added to the jungle vibe. I was mixed before booking based on some reviews, but can honestly say I’m so happy we disregarded and got to experience this for ourselves. Stayed in several 5 star hotels during our stay, this one will stay long in our memories. Loved the pavilion as well, such a lovely and solid and well finished room, with all the comforts you’d want.
Some speak of the prices / restaurant costs. Everything we ate was great and yes it’s higher than typical Thai prices, but the quality and taste was great and the setting of each restaurant was lovely. Still reasonable versus other 5 star hotels in the world.
Dual side access to both sides of the island with an amazing beach one side and pool the other gave a great spread of relaxation and water sport options. And we visited the spa twice was great and up and there with what would be expected for a hotel of this quality (price I thought was also reasonable)

We really enjoyed the stay with very kind and thoughtful staffs. Only thing is that the water was kind of yellow in the bath tub, i believe this is the same in krabi. We would like to stay in Rayavadee again! Thank you.

Rayavadee was the highlight of our trip to Thailand. With the unreal views, the entire property as a whole there was nothing less than perfect. Our Villa was truly remarkable & the way the staff waited on us hand and foot was incredible! The biggest priority for me is cleanliness and everything on the property was extremely clean and taken care of.
The included breakfast was great but the only change I would make is the lunch food at the pool and the food they give you for room service. I never really had anything I thought was worth the money. Because it is a lot more expensive to eat in the hotel than it is outside.
All in all 10/10 hotel and will recommend to everyone I know!
10.0
The Rayavadee is truly a special place, especially the setting in between 3 beaches and all the limestone cliffs and islands nearby. Twilight dining at the Grotto is a must-do. We did that twice. The staff are extremely polite and kind. We hope to be back.

Rayavadee is one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve been to. The location is gorgeous, with 3 beaches and some of the most impressive views in Krabi. The villas are stunning with every detail thought out for the design. The staff is very friendly and helpful, making sure your stay is excellent.
2.0
Their staff needs a class on culture sensitivity, they are not used to having black guest. Although many staff members were nice just as many weren’t. We paid our hard earned money and had planned this trip for three years. We deserved to be treated fairly and equally to every other paying guest. Thank goodness the other two hotels we stayed in on this trip did not make us feel as if we didn’t deserve to be there. We would not return to Rayavadee nor would we recommend it to anyone.

It was a lovely property, with great views, and adorable accommodations.
5.0
Wow, what a treat.
We only stayed one night, however the second we got there we asked if there was availability for a second night.
Firstly we got the shared bus shared boat airport pick up option which was great and efficient.
The check in process was then very smooth and we were shown to our room. The grounds are stunning and the rooms also. The bed is the comfiest bed I have ever slept in.
Once we settled in we went to all the beaches and the pool and all are amazing.
We couldn’t get in the grotto in the evening as there was a wedding but we went for lunch and it was beautiful. The breakfast was lovely also. I can honestly say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would 100% return!

Loved the staff, location, and room layout. Only issue is the restaurant pricing. Way too expensive relative to other options ( roughly 10x other choices).

We were welcomed with a refreshing drink & cold towel to cool off. We had an amazing 2 story villa. All of the rooms have a beautiful jungle-like scenery that is really well maintained. We saw monkeys for picture taking. The staff were all very kind, the food was incredible. The pool was absolutely breathtaking. When we went a short distance to Rilay beach we were allowed to use the Kayaks & paddle boards. We fell in love with Krabi & will be returning to Rayavadee again, hopefully soon.

Everything about Rayavadee was magical. A beautiful resort with fabulous service. We loved every minute of our time here. We will be thinking about our stay here, and the people we met, for a very long time. Hope to return again soon!

Our kid was really ill the duration of our 3 day stay so was abit of a nightmare we couldnt get the full experience out it , however this hotel location is stunning, luna was a great help in arranging anything wee needed including taxi back to phuket airport ect.. I will go back here again in future. The hotel is extremely chill not really music or that on during the day mostly people reading ect.. beach is more livelyish there daily taxiboats bringing people in. I would say this is more like a honeymoon resort than for kids that said though there was a few kids about. there is the spa, gym, rock climbing ' kayaking' snorkling, cave and bat trecking ect. when we first arrived we where abit freaked out with the jungle setting as we did not know what was flying about lol but the next day we where fine didnt see anything we where scared off lol. We went to the grotto restraunt which we had to leave early but it is set in a stunning location on the beach the food was decent aswell nothing to rave home about but it was nice and cant really beat the views. room service laundry' golfcarts to take you about are there in a heartbeat also.

Absolutely wonderful stay. The place is lovely and you are guaranteed to see monkeys, lizards and squirrels within the hotel area, which was a unique experience for us. The service of the staff is exceptional. The private pavillion is great and the bed the biggest I have ever slept in. The beaches are nice and busy with day-tourists, and there is a lively area nearby for a dinner or drink in the evening. We would come back anytime.

This is an amazing place with outstanding food and service. You will not want to leave the pool or the property. I will definitely return. 10/10.
5.0
fantastic hotel/resort. awesome pool at railway beach. my only complaint is the amount of trash floating in the oceans and washing up. this is a Thailand problem and not just the resort to be clear. Imagine you're swimming in the most gorgeous beach on the planet and a plastic bag or rope tangles around your body. Have Chang sponsor an event, free beer in exchange for trash clean up. It will be gone in 2 days. The trash isn't from beach goers littering, seems to be from all the commerce and stuff falling overboard from the long boats. Please clean this up, it would make the experience flawless.

This is just a lovely place. From the rooms, the beaches, the service, the food, the landscaping: just about everything is perfect. The two of us stayed in Deluxe Pavilion 309; this had a nice view of the greenery around us from the 2nd floor large window.
We preferred not to sit in the patio area on the 1st floor because of a lack of privacy. The two main beaches (Phranang and Railay) are both lovely, we preferred swimming in Phranang and walked on both of them, Phranang was about a 10 minute walk for us and Railay about a 5 minute walk.
The walks through the property are just lovely, they have done a fantastic job of landscaping with all kind of tropical plants, but we also took advantage of the golf cart rides when it was raining.
The breakfast (which is included) is served till 11 am and has a lot of nice a la carte and buffet style options. We didn't go the Grotto (did not look so special to us and seemed overpriced), but ate at the other two hotel restaurants: Krua Phranang and Raitalay Terrace; both were excellent (and had lovely views of the beach) and we also enjoyed the cocktails at the 4-6 pm happy hour at Raitalay Terrace.
The swimming pool is lovely and also has a great veiw of Railay beach.
The service at Rayavadee was just exceptional; we want to give a shout out to Joy, who was our server during breakfast, she was just fantastic.
We were here during the off-season, the prices are a little lower, and it was still wonderful despite some rain.

This resort was excellent! Very unique property with individual bungalows in the forest/jungle. Much better than traditional style hotel. Many places to eat in the resort & at other resorts next to Rayavadee. All within walking distance. Everything was very clean & the staff was awesome. Extremely friendly & helpful!

Restaurant food is delicious
10.0
This resort is absolutely beautiful. It is a resort in a jungle so you have access to the monkey life all around you. The staff is accommodating and friendly. They were helpful and answered all of our questions. The pool over looks the beach so the sunset/sunrise there is phenomenal. I want to say thank you to rayavadee for making our honeymoon amazing.
Only thing I would suggest is to update your facilities, I felt like the rooms/bathrooms could be a little updated.
10.0
A luxurious villa in paradise. The “pavilions” are spacious, thoughtfully designed, well decorated and beautifully maintained. The staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. And be sure to read the guide to the gardens - a delight for any armchair botanist.
