I loved everything except for the constant drone of all the boats going by. Imagine your neighbors waking up early to mow the lawn but they don’t stop until late at night.

It had a really great view!

a fair distance from swimming beaches and restaurants

Serene hillside location with lovely, spacious cabins. Stunning views from the pool area. Surrounded by jungle and monkeys.

To reach the resort can be more accommodating if its great view own Transportation, we have taken a normal boat ride where its very difficult with luggage, it can be better if GV can communicate to the customers upfront or can arrange to collect the luggage from railay

Overall it was good stay , staff, food and clean

I think the park is pretty much behind on maintenance, especially when it comes to the 'nature' between the houses which gave it this run-down look. The houses itself were alright but could use some paint. The food restaurant felt not that fresh or well taken care off.

the place has so much potential, the jungle location is really great. The staff had been very friendly and helpful with tips and directions

Downsides - Railay beach is only accessible by boat which is one of its attractions. This means that everything and everyone has to come and go by boat - mostly noisy longtails which ferry people and supplies from Krabi or Ao Nang all day and late into the night. On our first night at Great View we found the constant buzzing of engines back and forth across the bay very annoying. Despite the resort providing earplugs, the first night's sleep wasn't great. However after a day or two the buzzing of the boats became part of the background noise and I found sleep wasn't a problem for the next 5 nights. Complaining about the noisy boats is pointless as they're the lifeblood of Railay so you might as well be complaining about your own presence there: no boats, no tourism. However the resort should try to improve noise reduction in the rooms by ensuring the sliding doors to the verandahs have proper seals with no gaps.

Beautiful location overlooking Railay east beach. A short walk from lots of buzzy bars and restaurants, the beautiful Railay Beach, and the stunning Phra Nang Cave Beach. The resort is quite 'rustic' - it could possibly do with freshening up but that wasn't a problem for me. The chalets are all situated up a steep wooded hillside. Getting to your room involves quite a climb up steep steps but this, in my opinion, is compensated for by feeling like you're in the treetops, something which is emphasised by the partial view out across the bay and by the families of shy Spectacled Langur monkeys which jump from tree to tree outside your verandah. The room was clean and comfortable although gaps in the doors let in noise and occasional insects The staff are courteous and helpful. The breakfast and lunch in the restaurant are adequate if a bit uninspiring.

Breakfast was very basic. The property is very steep, so not suitable for people with mobility issues. Good for the step count though! Our room (#12) was considerably smaller than our other 2 friends rooms who had also booked Grand Deluxe.

Located in quieter end of Railay. Pool was nice, with lots of available beds. Great views from the pool deck and restaurant. Gorgeous families of Spectacled Langur Monkeys living in the surrounding trees and would pass by each day. Tew Lay Bar is very close by and does amazing food. It’s perfect for sunset drinks or lunch with a view. Transfer to and from hotel using the hotel pier was very convenient.

The walls of the room are really that you could hear everything from outside.

The staff were incredibly nice, friendly, and very helpful. The room is amazingly located to see some part of the ocean and it’s very cozy, I love the open concept bathroom as well. The location is amazing for people who want to stay away from the crowds.

all in all I would say it was a bit over priced

lovely deluxe cottages, very helpful staff, lovely pool. out of the main Railay area but we didn’t mind the walk and meant it was quiet and a bit more in the wilderness

Sound of long tail boats. Ear plugs is not resolve that. A bit long distance to beach.

Nice place, good breakfast, confortible beds.

Noise from longtail boats very loud at nights - I guess this is a problem for most hotels in Railay though

Good location and very helpful friendly staff

sooooo far away without knowing

beautiful

It was SO far off the main Railay area with sooooo many steps that it made it difficult to come in and out of. Love the jungle vibes but not what I expected.

Loved this property, staff, and rooms!

Location was inconvenient and difficult to get to, leaky roof, walls were paper thin could hear everything outside, floors would rattle when walking…

Good free breakfast, nice pool, friendly and helpful staff

Extreme noise from boat traffic all day :-( Small private beach unfortunately littered

Exceptionally nice personnel (special thanks to Poom) Great sea view Great Pool Dream location in the jungle Very well kept

Stayed in January 2023

Breakfast was bland. Communication about travel (long boat) provided by the resort lacking, leading to a nightmare walk with luggage from the main pier.

Fantastic views! Had a great time. Accommodation was exactly what we pictured. Staff friendly and helpful.

Getting to the resort was very difficult, you have to go into a different pier. The walk to and from restaurants, bars, the beach is also very far.

The view was amazing and the staff were helpful.

We found the breakfast to be a bit lacking- the egg station looked good but everything else seemed a bit lacklustre. The pool was great but very cold as it was unheated. Also I think that the facilities could use a bit of an upgrade as the pathways were cracked and uneven, and when I tried to fill the bath, the hot water was brown.

We loved the location of the hotel despite it being slightly further out of Railay town. The views were so beautiful and our cabin had a stunning sea view. The staff were so helpful and friendly too.

Stayed in December 2022

very hard to access, it is the furthest hotel from the town and pier, need to walk up big hills and it’s at least 1.5/2km to walk to the hotel, there is no alternative mode of transport apart walking

amazing views, very clean, and the room is comfortable

Stayed in December 2022

Information about getting to the property - free shuttle times and the fact that there is one! Honesty about being a 15 min walk to the other side of Railay Beach where most of the restaurants and activities are.

Breakfast was good - egg station/pancakes very good. Didn't eat any other meals at the restaurant.

Some steep uphil climbs.

Beautiful location away from the crowds. The Duskey Leaf monkeys visit this area and it was great to view them in the trees on our patio.

it’s a bit a hike to get to the bungalows.

location is great, bungalows are a real adventure.

Stayed in December 2022

Everything and everyone (including all the workers in Railay) comes by long tail boat which go right past the hotel so it is pretty hectic and noisy especially “rush hour” am and pm.

Great views, very nice rooms, lovely pool, lots of wildlife. Very helpful staff. Rooms very private. As the information states the resort is on a very steep hill and you might have a bit of a walk to your room, that’s why the views are so good and the rooms so private. Good lighting and torches provided.

Stayed in December 2022

The whole day and night it could be a bit noisy cause of the longboats that are passing through. The bungalows are located on a cliff so it’s a bit of a hike to get there and the path is slippery. We took the longboat from the Ao Nam pier and the staff could be more helpful with unloading luggage and bring this to the reception/bungalow. in other places we had a more relaxing experience.

The bungalows are great, located in the bush so you are in the middle of the jungle, that’s a nice experience. There is a path near the sea where you can walk (10 min) to Railay, there a several bars, restaurants and mini-markets. if you pass the ‘boulevard’ and at the end go left there is a nice beach.

Stayed in December 2022

Our room was quite far from reception & was all uphill so quite a sweaty walk back so would perhaps recommend asking for a room not so far away!

Great sized room, beautiful surroundings & bonus that the TV had Netflix!

The beach (Railay beach east) in front of the hotel is not a good place for swimming in the ocean, mangroves and not so clear water on that side of Railay beach.

Really calm and relaxing place. Well maintained and beautiful pool area. Imbedded in great vegetation (jungle). View on the sea from almost everywhere. Breakfast is also more than sufficient.
