Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Rayavadee from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Rayavadee is often described as an exceptional resort with a dramatic setting, nestled amongst three beaches including the favored Phranang Beach, known for its emerald waters. Guests frequently enjoy the spacious, two-story Terrace Pavilions, often having breakfast on their outdoor terrace. Dining at The Grotto, a cave restaurant, is a unique experience, although some guests have found the food to be inconsistent. The lush tropical surroundings, accessible only by boat, also allow for scenic walks, though some paths have loose stones.

Acceptable Stay with Minor Issues

emerald water beach chairs spacious suite advance payment minibar check intrusive gesture
The hotel has three beaches with emerald waters. I found Phranang Beach especially nice. The hotel provides beach chairs and offers iced water. The Terrace Pavillion included a spacious double story suite where I had breakfast each day.
I found a letter in my room asking me to pay the bill in advance. This request occurred the night before my departure. A staff member knocked on my door to check the minibar 45 minutes before checkout. The staff member then inspected the entire room. I found it intrusive.

diesel fumes expensive boats
The noise near the breakfast area was annoying because of tourist boats. the diesel fumes and loud engines made it hard to talk or enjoy breakfast, seriously! the resort tractor also added to the chaos and stink, which. really?! the location was also a problem. The nearby village was unappealing, and boat trips were the only way to get anywhere. the boats were expensive and charged for a full boat even if i was alone.

diesel fumes constant noise
I was told this was paradise , but I found it irritating. The noise from tourist boats was constant , starting around 9 AM , especially near breakfast. Diesel fumes were strong , hindering conversation and breakfast enjoyment. The resort's tractor hauling guests added to the cacophony , it stunk up the whole place badly.
