Ruhige Oase absolut zu empfehlen
Pros:

Wir hatten eine unvergessliche Zeit im Better View. Direkt nach der Buchung wurden wir mit nötigen Infos und einem Transfer Angebot vom Pier kontaktiert. Der Service Vorort war immer sehr freundlich & hilfsbereit. Motorroller Miete war auch ganz unkompliziert direkt an der Rezeption machbar. Die Unterkunft war top ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht. Die Bungalows sind sehr geräumig, neuwertig und sauber. Das Bett ist bequeme, die Aussicht toll und das angrenzende Restaurant bietet leckere Gerichte. Der Pool im täglich gepflegtem Garten, eignet sich hervorragend zum abkühlen.

Cons:

Und hat alles gefallen, selbst der Flughund der jeden Abend an unserer Terrasse hing und sein Obst verspeiste. Die Insel ist sehr Naturbelassen und natürlich sind dort auch Tiere heimisch. Wir hatten aber nie ungebetenen Besuch im Bungalow.

superbe emplacement et magnifiques bungalows, équipe très sympa.
Pros:

très bon emplacement et bungalow magnifiques, la piscine est très bien avec une partie jacuzzi.
bonne position sur l'ile et très tranquille, loin des plages touristiques.

Cons:

Rien, le seul point est qu'il faut absolument un scooter pour visiter l'ile, mais ce n'est pas propre a l'hôtel.

Peaceful with a perfect view
Pros:

EVERYTHING! From start to finish our honeymoon stay at Better View was exceptional.
Jerome was the perfect host, pleasent and helpful.
Our room was clean, comfy and cosy with lots of thoughtful touches including razor and mosquito plugs.
The staff were friendly and very helpful. Everyone did there best to make our stay wonderful. They arranged trips and taxis for us and suggested places to visit.
The grounds are pretty and well kept with beautiful night time lights.
The pool is clean and relaxing and the sea was perfect for a swim at high tide.
We were so sad to leave. We at Railay now and do not like it here - all we really want to do is go back to Better View.
Thank you for making our honeymoon so special from Samantha & Christopher

Vi ankom fredag eftermiddag, og skulle tjekke ud tirsdag. Men stedet var så fantastisk, at vi bookede en ekstra nat, og
Pros:

Værelset var virkelig vidunderligt, med den flotteste udsigt. Man kan leje scooter på stedet, som er nødvendigt for at komme omkring. Men det er klart den bedste måde at opleve øen på, og personalet er meget hjælpsomme med tips til oplevelser. Det ligger desuden meget tæt på havnen og Laem Haad Beach, som er den smukkeste strand. Jeg kan varmt anbefale dette sted!

Cons:

Morgenmaden bestod af en engelsk og fransk menu, der var sammensat på forhånd. Vi manglede lidt variation, eller mulighed for at justere menuen en smule. Men maden var rigtig god.
