Where to start?
Perfect location, great bay, dream views.
But that’s about it.
The facilities need renovation, poor maintenance of gardens and surroundings.
Unprofessional management.
Abandoned equipment and furniture laying in corners, garbage bags. Plastic on the beach.
The resort goes for a desperate ‘everything extra’ policy.. want to paddle.. 500 half an hour, need a life vest.. 50 extra.. toilet 20.. (but sign only.. they did not actually charge for toilet use).
Big issue is that hotel guests and groups of day-trip visitors just does not go well together.
8 sunbeds w. topper in first row.. well.. blocked by visitors. Visitors called to gather by whistle.. very romantic . garbage bags left behind..garbage still around after 2 days.

We stayed 4 nights and loved it. The Chino room was both beautiful and restful. Loved the surroundings and the beach …. But, it was chaotic in knowing how to get to the island resort (hotel instructions are not clear) and then finding that the restaurant by the stunning beach only operated certain hours was a shock. But we made the most of it and would be back in a second if we could.

We were welcomed on to the boat by Peach who was just the best host and made sure we had everything needed for our stay. The island is breath taking and food and service were both great. We will definitely be visiting again

We had a chino room next to the pool. It was a clean and spacious room (+ no spiders detected!). The pool area is very nice, peaceful and relaxing. Overall, we liked the hotel a lot.

Okay stay. Wi-Fi wasn't available due to the heavy rain. Seafood buffet (899THB per person) was not good. I wouldn't call this seafood buffet. Waste of money. Frontdesk staff speak English but others don't. The beach in front is too shallow to swim and no fish around. Breakfast was no many choises.
The room was ok. I would not come back for this hotel.

Hotel is dated a couple of things was not working in the room, air con sensor broken and maintain fixed it in about 30 mins,bath leaks (I just let it be) Average breakfast, Restaurant has a bad chief, food is not nice but you can go out of the hotel.in about 5-7 mins you will get other restaurants. Very dirty pool, the filter only turn on during the day, the pool is GREEN and you cant see the bottom... I cant believe I let me kids swim there. Attentive staff special thanks to house keeping manager Nu, super helpful and kind. The beach is nice with podwer sands and aqua blue water but cant see that many fish at all. Overall ok but a bit pricey for the status given its in a remote island... No mosquito bites guess we wete lucky killed a few tho. We stayed 3 nights I would recommend two nights max. Nothing to do.

If you are looking for a quite rest, Racha is wright place. For families it's great. Hotel is not crowded and usually Chinese people stays. Every day between 11-15 boat tours coming to the beach with many tourist to have lunch and swimming. At night only entertainment is to wall around the island whish 4km at all. You can rest ATV to ride around. Also there is tide at the sea.

Right side of the Racha Island to stay on if you like less tourists.

We have been at Racha island before on the other side of the island (stayed at the Racha). That side is now too busy and too many tourists with less Thai friendlyness as a result. This Hotel and the Beach (Siam bay) IS the right place to go. Much less people and a bit of a hide-away. Coral on the lovely Beach makes it a bit difficult (painful :-)) to go swiming. But just swim although it is shallow! And go snorkling!!! Just order from activity center in Hotel. Great on a Long tail boat and not expensive. We were very Happy! So stay at the Racha if you want 100% luxury but stay here if you think surroundings and less people bests the last perfectionated finish.

We were with a family with 3 teenagers and my old parents.
We enjoyed the beautiful, clean beach and the nice weather .
Rooms are big and confortable.
Nice and clean swimming pool .
Not ideal for disabled guests (lots of stairs and walk from restaurant to room, room to the pool, pool to the beach).
The restaurant on the beach is a bless with a nice view and a little wind.
Thai food and a few international options.
The team is very very friendly and always willing to help. We appreciated it a lot.

Near Beautiful beach and nice room.
Good to rent a bike and snorkeling set.
Better to bring marine shoes if you don't rent snorkeling set since there are some coral rocks in the sea.

I want to start off by saying that my fiancé and I are really simple to please people. We found the staff to be polite and helpful. The rooms (we stayed in two different ones) were really clean and comfortable. Yea, some of the stuff was used but nothing was bad. Some of the reviews I read before coming sound so picky - yes, the lagoon around the pool is kind of green - but you're not swimming in that, the pool itself is super nice and relaxing. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The area is so mellow and cruise. What more could you want?! We had an amazing time. It was relaxing, beach front, comfortable, and we are very happy with our stay.

The rooms were gross and super far from the beach. The pool was disgusting and not maintained at all. Nothing was ever staffed or open for business. Terrible hotel experience.
While the beach is gorgeous, you'll never get to enjoy it. Dozens of speed bots loaded with Chinese tourists drop off day trippers ALL DAY LONG. They monopolize the already sparse and dilapidated beach chairs and suck on their cancer sticks while shouting at each other up and down the beach like no one else is trying to enjoy themselves.
This place has serious potential, but don't go until it is torn to them round and rebuilt (structures and approach to hospitality). We unloaded and had already decided we wouldn't staying by the time we got to our room. Problem is, no boats were available until the following day. We tried to make the best of it but we only stayed the one night of our 3 night reservation because it was so bad.

Access to 3 - 4 beaches.Hotel staff mainly from Myanmar therefor some communication problems. Not as friendly as Thai staff and training required.Room had a few small problems like faulty hairdryer, broken handles and knobs on furniture.Some instances of run down facilities looking shoddy such as fencing, swimming pool equipment etc.

Pros- Relaxing peaceful island- The majority of the staff were pleasant- Spacious rooms- Nice balcony overlooking the grounds- Very close to the beachCons- We were given the incorrect room, with 2 single beds instead of the king size. After being told several times they could not change I requested to speak with the manager and then all of a sudden a correct room 2 doors down became available.- The ceiling leaked a lot when raining.

Worst hotel experience ever. Bathroom was broken and hotel management didnt solved, when we returned to the room and expected the problem is addressed, no one available at reception anymore. Room smelt terrible the hole night.Only reception staff speaks Enlish, all other staff limited Enlish knowledge (and neither fluent in Thai as not local staff).Management didnt cared about our complaint, we had to insist over 3 hours to speak to management! Described as new resort, but bit in the days and not good maintained.Island is of course nice, but make a day trip or go to another hotel. This hotel is first of all expensive, but even if it would be cheap it wouldnt worth it to stay there.For the transfer, confirm that you have space before booking - we had to pay a private transfer (and arrange it ourselves) for 2400 THB.Very disappointed. Wouldnt recommend to anyone.
