Rayavadee

We spent a weekend at the Rayavadee with friends.

Staying here is probably one of the most unique experiences you will have. Right from the unique boat transfer (yes it’s on an island, which for some reason wasn’t too clear whilst booking the rooms). Won’t divulge details of the boat transfer! The welcome was exceptional and the property is super quiet and beautiful. The rooms are duplex chalets (again a pleasant surprise as it didn’t seem to be clear enough in the posting). Super luxurious rooms surrounded by the most lush forest like cover with enough windows. It will come as a huge surprise that this property is 39 yrs old as everything in here is super modern and up to date.


The bed needs a special mention. Again one of the largest we have ever slept on. An entire family of two adults and two young children could sleep on one bed. It’s way bigger than a King size.

The Grotto is a unique dining experience although you not only have to confirm well In advance but also tell them what you will eat at least one day prior. If not, they will turn you away as they only prepare what you said you will eat. And be ready to pay for the most expensive dinner you have had in a long time. But worth every penny as unlikely you will get another setting quite like this one.

Overall food isn’t top class at any of the restaurants but that I will leave for you to judge. We are not foodies so we don’t mind..

This is a place we would definitely want to return. Memorable!

We’ve been here multiple times and always have a wonderful time! This place is truly paradise :)

Cool place

Very Quiet, Courteous service

아주 즐겁게 즐기다갑니다. 쥬라기월드 촬영지 뷰맛집입니다. 모니터도마뱀, 원숭이도 가끔보이고 순합니다. 조식도 맛있습니다. 스노쿨링하기에는 물살이 좀 쎘습니다. 스노쿨링 보단 외부풍경을 즐기로오시는 분께 추천합니다.

One of the best resort experiences of my life. Please ignore the negative reviews!
The staff was great, the property is gorgeous, and the food was excellent...especially the Thai restaurant.
I travel often and highly recommend this place!!!!

We stayed at Rayavadee last week for three nights. The grounds and scenery were absolutely beautiful. However, this is not a 5 star hotel. The rooms are outdated but still comfortable which is just fine. However, the food was extremely disappointing. The worst meals we had our entire trip was at this hotel which is really unacceptable for how expensive it is. I wanted to love this hotel - but I would never stay here again.

Can’t say enough about this resort & the staff 10/10 overall. Be ready for a unique experience as the only way in & out is by the water…

Free breakfast got charged for it and bath water dirty still dirty after fixed it run the bath for a hour

We had an excellent time at the Rayavadee. It has a great location with access to multiple amazing beaches, an awesome pool, four delicious restaurants, great excursion offerings, beautiful gardens, and spacious accommodations. Despite all this, the best thing about Rayavadee is its people. The resort has a large staff and everyone is always smiling and willing to go out of their way to make your stay unforgettable. There are things to do in the nearby town, but we rarely left the resort (except for excursions to the Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay) because we loved it there so much. Highly recommend!

This is an Amazing Oasis in the Jungle. Stunning property. Highly recommend!!! Staff is amazing!! Can’t say enough. Thank you for an amazing vacation.

this is an incredibly well managed property, the service is fantastic without being obsequious, the location is a slice of heaven. It is a self contained world of tranquility, but unlike many resorts of the same caliber it is not isolating. A few minutes walk down the beach brings you to one of the coolest little beach towns in Thailand.

A True Slice of Paradise!
I just returned from the most magical stay at Rayavadee in Krabi, and I’m still floating from the experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like royalty. Every single person we encountered went above and beyond, creating such a warm, welcoming, and luxurious atmosphere.

A very special thank you to Luna, who truly made our stay unforgettable. Her kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care made us feel so taken care of every step of the way.

The Songkran ceremony was such a beautiful and meaningful experience, and the spa treatments were nothing short of heavenly. Even the servers at the restaurants made every meal feel like a celebration.

And the property itself—WOW. Nestled between towering limestone cliffs and surrounded by lush jungle and pristine beaches, it honestly felt like we had stepped into a fairytale. Every corner of Rayavadee is designed with elegance and natural beauty in mind. It’s peaceful, private, and absolutely breathtaking.

I can’t recommend Rayavadee enough. It’s more than a resort—it’s a full sensory experience that I’ll treasure forever.

Most beautiful scenery and excellent relaxing experience. Staff and food were incredibly good. Perfect for couples and families

Every thing was good but service can be better
Staff do not give enough info about activities
Prices in shopping are highly exaggerated

Great property but it’s takes forever to get a buggy service and service by the pool. Facility either needs more buggy’s to service the entire property of more staff to round on guests.

We stayed at 5 different properties while in the area including The Surin Phuket. The Rayavadee was certainly the highlight. The jungle meets the beach in the most incredible way. Our bungalow was beautiful, with a comfortable bed and the most luxurious shower. The food was delicious and the spa was amazing. It was definitely a layer back five star experience that didn’t feel stuffy.

Excellent experience. The staff we out of their way to be helpful and kind.

Our visit at Rayavadee was absolutely delightful! The service was amazing from everyone and we loved our 2 hiking guides. Communication was terrific with transfer help both to and from the resort. The location is so stunning and beyond belief. We wish we could have stayed longer. Fantastic!

Simply amazing
