Julian SarmientoUpegui | We stayed in this beautiful resort for 5 days. And it was one of the best holidays we ever had. After reading millions of comments about other resorts in Krabi, we decided to stick with Railay Village.
As soon as we arrived to Railay beach, we we greeted by this amazing view. It s like a piece of paradise! Check in was quick and lady was very polite. Bell boy helped with our suitcases and than explained everything about our room. We stayed at the rooms situated next to second pool and we stayed on first floor. And I think it s better than ground floor, because otherwise everyone can see your room. We even had a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. We spent there almost every evening, having a drink before we went for dinner.
The only minus was next door neighbours! I understood, that all rooms have connected doors. And it s just a one tinny door separates you from your neighbours. So you can hear every single conversation they are having and I assumed they experienced the same. We didn t complain, since we didn t spend much time in our room.
Don t expect a lot from breakfast. I ve red the comment, that you have to go for breakfast early, because the good stuff finishes quick and they don t replenishe that option anymore. Se first morning we went very early and all they had was steamed rice, soup, steamed vegetables, hot dogs an French toast. You can request and omlet, but I wasn t happy with it either. Juices are all synthetic, it felt like its a fruity powder mixed with water. The only thing I liked was fresh fruits and coffee. So after this experience we decided not to bother to wake up early and went there just before they closed and they had exactly the same. We ha food ones in restaurant and it was ok. Most of the time we went to East side of island (only 10 min walk) and they have plenty of restaurants. Our favourite was Last Bar restaurant! They have amazing fish choice and plenty of delitous cocktails!
We used spa ones and that was on our last night. And I wish we could come there from the first day! Massage was sensational! Lady was very good and it s wasn t expensive either.
It was sad to leave this beautiful resort with amazing tropical garden! We definitely coming back!
P.s. one day we took a trip to James Bond island and monkey temple and cayaking. Don t bother. You will see the same views as you have on Railay beach and all day it s tiring and plus they are laying about 40 min transfer. It s actually 2 h in uncomfortable bus. Seriously, don t bother. Maybe Hong Islands, but I m sure it will look the same. | 9/10 |

Andreas | We had a room on the 2nd floor. Huge room, lots of space and calm environment. Pool area and garden are neat and well taken care of. Phranang Beach is 10 minutes away by foot. Hotel Restaurant on Railay Beach West serves delicious meals. Breakfast (choice and food itself) is average. Other than that we ll always come back. | 9.6/10 |

Elise Atzen | This was basically a 3 star hotel, with the potential of being a good 4 star hotel. The rooms were big and nice, but run-down and general maintenance was lacking. The breakfast buffet was slightly below average and with a restaurant staff that was lacking propper trainig, however, sweet and smiling. The decor of the breakfast buffest was lacking and table cloths were dirty.
The hotel personelle were in general okay, but only if the hotel was a 3 star one. The reception was lacking english skills and were generally not very helpful.
On the upside, the one pool was surrounded by beautiful flowers and had a great atmosphere and the hotel is located on the beach. | 4.6/10 |

Traveller | Great location (right off the beach) but far enough back that the sound of the boats is not heard. Cute rooms, nice balconies, amazing pools (although the bigger one was often cloudy - perhaps too many chemicals?) and good food. Be prepared for no alcohol served as it s a Muslim establishment - but you can buy it just next door and bring it in to the restaurant. | 8.6/10 |

Andreas Hartung | Excellent stay. Very nice, clean and spacious room in the 2-storey buildings around the pool. Friendly and helpfull staff (changed the ground floor room initially given to us to a 2nd floor room upon our request with no hassle). Good beachfront restaurant. Great location right on the beach of Railey West. Disagree with the numerous negative comments about Railey Beach and this resort that are on various travel sites. We were perfectly happy with everything. | 8.6/10 |

Olivier COLSON | Nice location on the beach of West Railay. The restaurant, where you also take the breakfast, is close to the beach. The rooms with balcony on the swimming pool are very nice. The swimming pool is very nice with lots of flowers around. The spa provides very good quality massages. The restaurant is not expensive and very good (the best of West Railay accoring to us).
The hotel does not have extra bed for third person. It only provides mattress on the floor. | 10/10 |

Stephen | Fantastic stay! We stayed in the spa villa which was at the front of the resort and was very luxurious. The staff were very helpful and courteous. Room service food was exceptional! The spa services were a bit expensive though compared to the massages prices in Railay. | 10/10 |

Rivka Shenberg | Hi
We enjoyed the place very much, however on our first day we wanted to use the Jacuzzi, there was a problem with the Jacuzzi and we called the housekeeping to fix it. Since then we did not use or try to use the Jacuzzi.
When we checked out we were asked to pay 3000 bath for fixing the Jacuzzi which we never used. (they claimed that the Jacuzzi handle was broken....we did not touch it as I SAID WE NEVER USED THE Jacuzzi)
The manager was not in place and did not answer the phone. The lady that charged us was very unpleasant , she did not release us unless we pay the 3000 bath, we had no choice (we had a flight to catch) so I paid it (I felt like an hostage) I still plan to contact the manager and to get my money back, but this ruin our memory of the great time we had in this place.
Thanks Rivka | 6.8/10 |

Anna | Railay Village for us certainly looked like the best hotel on East Railay if you want to stay at a quality hotel with good rates. Location is great. We stayed in a Pool Villa and was very happy with that choice. The pool outside was big and beautiful and never crowded. Breakfast was very good - they make pancakes and omelettes on your order and there is plenty of fresh fruit, sandwiches, hot food, cereals etc. All hotel staff was very friendly. Only minus was that there were never any hot water at all in the room -but it was so hot during our stay that we didnt mind a cooling shower in the evening. Room was spacious, bathroom as well with both shower and a bathtub. Cleaning very good. East Railay is a very nice beach - west is cheaper in terms of food and drinks but it stinks quite a lot from the swamp - we named it stinky beach instead ;-) I would definitely stay at Railay Village next time. | 9.6/10 |

h.g. de haan | Railay beach was not what we expected to be. Also Railay village we thought was so so.
Room was okay, but the resort lies right across the boat taxis, so beach so so, and cannot go in the sea there. Go to Phangang beach, that was great, if you are there early. Later lots of tourists.
Railay west is much better than east, which is mangrove, and mud.
No alcohol served in the hotel..food also so so. Much better other places on Railay
We recommend go to Ao Nang and book a tour to Railay if you like it. | 5.2/10 |

Bengt Linder | Railay Village Resort on the west side is beautifully located close to the beach and the garden is marvellous. We had a spa villa with yacuzzi and a nice small, private garden. It is good value for money and the staff is also the best, at least compared to nearby resorts. There are no alcohol served within the facility but restaurants close by serve beer and spirits. We would not recommend Railay East, the beach is poor and it is more of a back-packer location. | 9.6/10 |
