    A fun soaked September stay

    No complaints about the property itself just that we did book the accommodation in September so the weather was pretty repetitive; Rain throughout the night and early morning with potential of it stopping in the afternoon or evening. Be Prepared to get your feet wet! No matter where you book, the pathways will be flooded in the morning (still walkable), so don't expect a smooth early walk to the beach. It was still a fun experience!

    The resort is in a very unique location having a wonderful mix of beach and jungle. We particularly liked the style of the house with a lot of natural wood decor. There is a section of room you can lay down with a glass view of the jungle. The facilities were great having a reasonably priced menu and a great room-service. The room itself was surprisingly spacious and the bathroom was so so modern, supporting a bath and shower.

    Standard & size of rooms is variable, resulting in us needing to change a room on arrival and us then not being close to our children. Detached bungalows are great, but the resort is very hilly so prepare for some short hikes up and down to your room!

    Great views from lovely pool. Nice to walk to all the restaurants & bars - but don't fprget the try the resort restaurant for lunch / dinner as food is very good too.

    We arrived at night, and the walk from the Pier with the luggage was a bit difficult to get to the hotel location.

    The view was great although we got a lot of rain. The cabine was so cute and the staff were lovely!

    - It’s as far as it gets from the beach (20 min walking on slippery and hilly sidewalk) - The view to the ocean was actually entirely blocked (at least from our cabin) - Your calves are going to hurt

    - Very caring staff - Comfy and rooms with a good vibe - Amazing breakfast - Great restaurant

    It was very noisy because of the noise made by longtails boats (even at night). They start making noise at around 6:30 in the morning and do not stop until very late at night. It was difficult to sleep at times. They provide you with ear plugs…

    The staff was very friendly and the bungalow is very cozy and with a terrace with excellent views. The breakfast was quite good and the restaurant had amazing views. The swimming pool area was very good too. The tropical garden is beautiful.

    Your pool is going to hurt somebody!

    There are always small niggles with any place but one major fault is the pool. You guys need to hire someone who understands how to maintain a pool before someone gets hurt. The cloudy water that has completely eaten away the grout between the tiles in the pool is a clear indication of a severe chemical imbalance. The PH level and chlorine levels are way off. The only maintenance I saw during our week stay was sweeping around the pool and manually removing leaves from the surface of the water. There is however no skimmer and no setup for vacuming the bottom. The grout that has been eaten away is lying in powder form on the bottom beside the edges. Been that way for months? Years? Continuing to add chlorine will not help...only eat bathing suits and hurt people's eyes. The "infinity" function of the pool could work as a skimmer but the wall leaks and the top stones are loose so you are unable to skim off the top of the water. The water is not being filtered. You only have the illusion of filtering because of the pump shooting oxigenated jets of water into the pool. There are dirty slicks floating on the surface and a huge load of suspended debris in the water. Even though it's an economic hit, you guys need to shut down the pool immediately and give it the attention it needs. Why not now in the low season? Your water should be chrystal clear (even during the rainy season). You have the opportunity to answer this comment once you have fixed your pool to reassure future guests of your wonderful resort that your pool is once again safe to use. Again, hiring a professional and planning properly should have you up again in 3-5 days.

    It seems that bad reviews are from people who haven't bothered to research this resort. Yes it's the last resort on Railay east and it takes a bit of walking to get there. For us it was perfect to retreat away from the action and we don't need the staff to constantly hover around us to make us feel welcome.

    The noise coming from the long tail boats is really annoying, from 6am all day until 11pm, I thought it would be okay when taking the reservation but I was surprised by how loud it is the first night there. Also, the locations is a + and a - at the same time. You are truly immersed in nature , but the walk back to railay center gets annoying really quickly ( 15min from the hotel to the main road )

    The room view and atmosphere is unique and beautiful. You can see monkeys out of your room in the morning, truly magical ! The swimming pool is also amazing.

    While the approach was serene and you feel very close to nature, it can be a little intimidating. The walk up to the hotel is quite a bit of a climb, but you do get used to it. I would recommend backpacking it instead of travelling with your suitcases. The rooms were great and very close to the images on booking.com. However, the rooms could be maintained a bit better. There are gaps in the doors and parts of the ceiling that look a tad bit run down. And could be a gateway for insects (though we had none in the room) While walking to the hotel, and in it, you will come across monitor lizards which can be HUGE, but that is common to the island and we were told that they are completely harmless. So if an adventurous walk is something at intrigues you, and you’re not affected by creepy crawlies, this is a perfect reward after that steep climb.

    The view!! I don’t think any other resort in Railay can be compared to the view you get from your room. Additionally, the bathroom was beautiful and made me so happy. The swimming pool was perfect and overlooked the sea.

    The resort is in the jungle so the mosquitos during our stay were pervasive and it’s very humid/sticky feeling in June. Our hut was a small hike uphill so that was challenging to do especially becasue I have some ankle issues. The beach is littered with plastic and trash. It’s not a good swimming area on that side, nicer beach in other side and about 15 minutes walk. The location is close to Phi Phi islands so the 45 min. boat trip there and snorkeling were the best part.

    The view of the ocean and cliffs are amazing. Seeing some monkeys, dolphins and monitor lizards while in the property. The location of the restaurant and the breakfast was delicious.

    My bungalow was very high up on the hill, quite steep if travelling with heavy luggage. But the view was worth the stairs!

    Location is so beautiful, the bungalows are surrounded by the trees, looked like being in the jungle. Amazing sunrise to enjoy

    The property wasn’t well maintained, which I guess is a Covid affect. The paths were cracked, and roof material missing. It could have looked nicer.

    Nice location. Nicely nestled in amongst the trees, and shaded. The pool was a nice shaded pool, and it was nice not being in the centre of Railay. The rooms were very nice. The service and food was good.

    The downside to the privacy is that there is a short walk to town and the popular beaches and walking is the only option.

    The isolation and privacy with every room being a standalone building with spectacular views.
