Superb
Rayavadee exceeded my expectations. It is a stunning resort. The grounds are like a nature reserve. Monkeys and grey squirrels in abundance. The pavilion accommodation was impeccable with a living area on ground floor and the bedroom on the 2nd floor. Service was amazing and we were made to feel so special. I’ve always longed to stay in this resort and it didn’t disappoint

Amazing last stop for our honeymoon.
Most amazing stay, with everything beyond expectations. Great and attentive staff but the natural and breathtaking setting is unmatched. Also the wildlife added to the jungle vibe. I was mixed before booking based on some reviews, but can honestly say I’m so happy we disregarded and got to experience this for ourselves. Stayed in several 5 star hotels during our stay, this one will stay long in our memories. Loved the pavilion as well, such a lovely and solid and well finished room, with all the comforts you’d want.
Some speak of the prices / restaurant costs. Everything we ate was great and yes it’s higher than typical Thai prices, but the quality and taste was great and the setting of each restaurant was lovely. Still reasonable versus other 5 star hotels in the world.
Dual side access to both sides of the island with an amazing beach one side and pool the other gave a great spread of relaxation and water sport options. And we visited the spa twice was great and up and there with what would be expected for a hotel of this quality (price I thought was also reasonable)

Sin duda uno de los lugares más increibles en los que me he hospedado jamás, la naturaleza que hay al rededor de las villas y de todas las instalaciones es un sueño!
El servicio es extraordinario, la comida de muy alta calidad, la alberca y áreas de playa son únicas, variedad de restaurantes con comida deliciosas y unas villas preciosas.
Fue una experiencia inolvidable. Ya quiero volver!

Rayavadee was the highlight of our trip to Thailand. With the unreal views, the entire property as a whole there was nothing less than perfect. Our Villa was truly remarkable & the way the staff waited on us hand and foot was incredible! The biggest priority for me is cleanliness and everything on the property was extremely clean and taken care of.
The included breakfast was great but the only change I would make is the lunch food at the pool and the food they give you for room service. I never really had anything I thought was worth the money. Because it is a lot more expensive to eat in the hotel than it is outside.
All in all 10/10 hotel and will recommend to everyone I know!

The Rayavadee is truly a special place, especially the setting in between 3 beaches and all the limestone cliffs and islands nearby. Twilight dining at the Grotto is a must-do. We did that twice. The staff are extremely polite and kind. We hope to be back.

Rayavadee is one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve been to. The location is gorgeous, with 3 beaches and some of the most impressive views in Krabi. The villas are stunning with every detail thought out for the design. The staff is very friendly and helpful, making sure your stay is excellent.

Their staff needs a class on culture sensitivity, they are not used to having black guest. Although many staff members were nice just as many weren’t. We paid our hard earned money and had planned this trip for three years. We deserved to be treated fairly and equally to every other paying guest. Thank goodness the other two hotels we stayed in on this trip did not make us feel as if we didn’t deserve to be there. We would not return to Rayavadee nor would we recommend it to anyone.
