Railay Great View Resort

Ambiance, very nice pool, excellent room, nice buffet breakfast and sense of seclusion.

Nothing I can think of.

We originally had planned to stay in Railay on for 5 days, but there was a flight error and we needed to stay one more night. We decided to stay in the same hotel, yet due to demand we had to change our room. The room where we were originally was quite big, it had a bathtub, the view was nice and the two rooms we booked were connected through a door. When we changed to different rooms they gave us separate small cottage style rooms, yet higher up on the mountain, which could be quite the challenge to reach the room after a day of touring at sea. The view was better from our second room, yet it did not have a bathtub and it took the A/C much more to cool the room. The bathroom had its own A/C which was a plus, in the first room I had to shower with the bathroom door open because it would get really hot. Overall our stay was amazing and I would recommend people to stay at this hotel.

Great View Resort, ended up being a great choice of hotel for the area. Staff was always helpful, smiling and kind. They give you quite clear instructions on how to get from Krabi airport to the hotel, including prices. If you choose to arrive at Railay pier it’s a bit of a walk all the way to the hotel, but on the way you can take a look at the restaurants, shops and tours the place has to offer. The hotel room was beautiful, equipped with all the amenities, my room had a full bed and an individual bed. The bathroom was very spacious with a separate shower and bathtub. The bathtub was next to a big window where you could overlook the jungle below and through the trees you could see the sea. The room was comfortable with beautiful wooden and bamboo details, a strong air conditioning unit, a flatscreen TV (yet I did not use it), a balcony looking towards the sea (I even had the opportunity to see some monkeys sitting on the balcony). The room we booked had breakfast included, which was an international buffet, with eclectic choices and I enjoyed thoroughly. The hotel as a nice swimming pool facing the sea and they offer extra services like massages, room service, etc. The Thai massage we booked was amazing and on a kind. Finally I must say this hotel went the extra mile with customer service. I had already checked out and was in my way to the airport when I remembered I had left my wallet, phone and home keys in the room security safe. With just a call they retrieved my items and took them to me to the airport (there was a small charge, yet that was nothing compared to the valuables I had left behind). I would recommend the hotel, one small down-point would be reaching the hotel from the pier (it’s just a small walk between 5 to 10 minutes), but if you don’t like walking much this might be a hassle. Also the rooms themselves are like bungalows on a mountain side, so going up to your room can end up being a bit of an exercise session.

Everything was perfect! Peace and quiet:) Staff was friendly, helpful.

The pool is great, and so is the room (although we have to climb a lot to get there). Breakfast has plenty of variety. It was a good experience.

On the second day we lost the wifi in the room, we warned the reception but it was not solved.
