Susanna Karlsson | Most of the staff were very friendly but at a place like this you defenitely expect the staff to speak better english!!! and concidering how much money we spent staying here at a delux room,i expected the rooms to be higher standard.
Another downside was how loud it was between you and your neighbour. | 6.4/10 |

Petra Hansson | fantastic surrounding with great nature... room and terass was ecxellent BUT do have in mind thet superior only has A/C between 18:00-08.00 and that both superior and deluxe are exclusive minibar and coffe facilities,bear in mind that the bar is lousy and unfriendly,so prepare for some thirsty nights on a fantastic veranda! | 5.8/10 |

OLEG GLADYSHEV | От отеля на Райе присутствует трансфер, т.е. в стоимость проживания входит спитбот туда и обратно, плюс экзотика передвижения на тракторе, также туда и обратно. Катер отходит с причала Chalong Pier. В самом конце причала – два здания, похожих на наши провинциальные автостанции. Одно из них (самое последнее) – наше, там даже вывеска есть: «Трансфер и экскурсии на о.Райа. Отель Ban Raya Resort & Spa» (естественно все это на англ.). Уверен, что не заблудитесь. Катер идет до острова минут 20-25, т.е. укачать вас просто нет времени…Приплыли – что дальше? Гид, который будет на катере, покажет вам куда идти. Это здесь же на пристани острова. Грузимся на трактор и вперед к отелю! Такое такси здесь только от «Ban Raya Resort». Поездка даст вам общее впечатление об острове. Отель: на мой взгляд, лучший на острове. Сюда практически не приплывают лодки с экскурсиями, он находится на «необитаемой» стороне острова, соответственно экскурсии сюда не только не доплывают, но еще и не доходят. Пляж маленький, каменистый. Детей практически нет, зато снорклинг сумасшедший. Мы с женой минут по 40 из воды с масками не вылезали. В общем, настоятельно рекомендую. Бунгало – приличные. Есть достаточно дорогие, есть эконом вариант. Можно подобрать. Что удивило…я не могу обходиться без «кондера», здесь же за все время отдыха ни разу его не включал. Ночной бриз – великая штука. Поесть можно без проблем – либо здесь же в отеле, либо на другом необитаемом пляже. Там достаточно приличная тайская кафешка. Я обожаю такие. Идти от отеля минут 15. Везде висят карты – не заблудитесь. Если хочется немного пафоса – можно сходить на песочные пляжи других двух отелей. | 9.2/10 |

Thomas Mårtensson | Room standard is ok, but the location of this hotel makes it totally worth the trip. We had a really nice time (stayed for 5 nights) and the pool is kickass with a very nice view over the sea and beach. If you want more beach than the one this hotel have it s easy to just take a walk or rent a motorbike to travel to the other beaches. | 7/10 |

Li Xiaoyu | A wonderful place to spend relax time with your family. Perfect place for snorkelling, better than any other hotels on Raya Island. Rooms are just OK, with good bath room. Nice foods at the restaurant. | 8.6/10 |

ZhiBin Zhang | 酒店绿化不错，特喜欢那片绿绿的洼地和酒店前面海里好多好大的鱼。下次再来RAYA ISLAND 我还会住这儿，下次来我一定要抓条大鱼来尝尝。不足的是：11点钟就要退房，浮潜面具和救生衣等租用还不免费。 | 8.4/10 |

Anulina Svensson | Absolut 100% nöjd med vår vistelse på denna underbara plats- vi hade bokat 3 dagar men stannade i 10 dagar.
Jätte mysigt pool område, och mycket fin liten vik med superb snorkling. Vår yngsta dotter tog ridturer runt den fina ön.
Mycket fin natur med rikt djurliv, varaner, fladdermöss, fjärilar och fåglar.
God mat i restaurangen.
Absolut inget nattliv eller störande trafik( finns ingen trafik).
Proffsigt Spa med klass! | 8.8/10 |

TEO SOCK KOON | Ban Raya is a nice resort, with lotsa of trees, so it is more shady than the rest of resorts that is in the harsh sun. If you been to this part of the world, you will know what I mean by the harsh sun. Also, it has one of the best snorkelling sites on the island. Everyday, you will see daytrippers coming to this beach. The good thing is, they hardly get on the beach, just in the sea, so it is not as crowded as the Patok Bay.
Now about the resort itself. The room is well kept everyday, and with 2 bottles of complimentary water every day. We booked a superior room, and the bed is huge and comfy. The receptionist is very polite and willing to help.
Now for the bad things. The service in the restaurant sucks. They cannot be bothered to serve. We were sitting in the restaurant for 15 minutes with no one trying to serve us. In the end we gave up. There is on night we asked for take away. We ordered a dish, I think it was fried glass noodles. The waiter insisted that we could not take away because the dish needs a special plate. We were thinking, OMG. We got so angry and told them, just pack in a box and give it to us, who cared about the special plate.
Next we asked for ice. Be prepared. They charged for bucket of ice. Imagine a room without fridge and they charged for ice. We ordered a bucket of ice and were charged 30 BAHT for it.
All in all, do not let the services in restaurant deter you from staying here. This is just a downside, otherwise it would be a fantastic stay. Opt for other places like Raya Father for food or Paad Thai. They serve fabulous food. | 7.2/10 |

Alfredo Benasso | Posto spettacolare, la spiaggia dell albergo è situata nel punto più bello dell isola per fare snorkelling. Lo staff è molto gentile e disponibile, il buffet della colazione è ben fornito, c è la possibilità di avere snack e bibite nei vari bar del resort, sia in piscina sia sulla spiaggia. I bungalow sono tutti a pochi minuti dalla spiaggia e comunque l isola si gira tranquillamente a piedi o in bicicletta. E un posto molto romantico e lo consiglio a chi ama il mare. | 8/10 |

Ahlin Linda Marie | A place to relax and find peace. Stayed in a Deluxe room, nr 9, with A/C and with a view at the garden/resort. We also saw a glimps of the ocean.(Other nice Delux room are nr 8, 12, 13, 16, 17 20, 21). I think the price of the room is a little bit to expencive compared to other rooms we have stayed in, in Thailand. However we had a good time at Ban Raya. The beach at the resort is not a beach where you stay for sun and swim. It´s more for snorkelling and it´s ok. The pool at the resort is nice. The best beach/sand is Patok. It takes about 10-15 min to walk from Ban Raya. Siam beach is also good and more quiet. Unfortunaly Patok is busy with a lot of speedboats. | 6/10 |

Kirsten Holst-Eklund | A true masterpiece - a resort incorporated inthe rainforest. Ao Sane beach restaurant (250m) is better and a lot cheeper than the hotel restaurant. Doubtful beach. | 8.6/10 |

Petter Andersson | Here comes my warm recommendations and one warning to anyone going here for diving. First to all positives: This destination is a little paradise for anyone who wants some time away from a hectic life, or wants snorkeling and diving. The hotel provides you with a great service to an affordable price. Room quality is good value as long as you don t mind a very basic bathroom. The pool is beautiful and clean. Food is very good although there are many options for eating on the island. 4 beaches are reached within a walking distance offering a variety of options from privacy and beautiful snorkeling to white sand and sunbeds. The only big disappointment was the diving company associated to Ban Raya. It s run by sloppy finnish and british staff, not enough focused on normal diving praxis such as safety and providing good service and gear that works. I wasn t provided a depth meter. My intructor/buddy was aware of this and he didn t pay attention just jumped in and decended quickly without calibrating my experience. It resulted in me not being able to decend/ascend in a good way and I got my eardrum destroyed for many days. The great news is that there is a diving company that is run by Thai people and connected to the other hotel (The Racha). I used them as well. They have experienced divemasters, much better service (friendly and professional), gear and safety to the same price!! | 8.8/10 |
