Days in Paradise”

Very beautiful romantic Hotel with lovely facilities. Everywhere it is very clean. The stuff is very friendly and attentive. Everywhere you look, you can find romantic details. Food we had was very good. The villas are big and very quiet. The lovely clear, blue water cried at us to come in, we found so many diffrent fishes snorkeling , truly fantastic. The only thing we dident like very much were many boats arriving and leaving from 11 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon to bring tousends of daytourists. If you don't care about this it is realy a paradise place, we liked it so much. Daniel and Yvonne from Switzerland

Amazing!!”

Beautiful island- so picturesque! The water is just paradise. The hotel is beyond comparison: the room was stunning- we upgraded to the Junior Spa Suite and it was like a palace. The service was exceptional, the staff warm and welcoming and the breakfast had an incredible range of options. We will definitely be back as it was a dream location. The only unfortunate aspect of the location is that the island is the drop off spot for hundreds of day trip tour companies and so from the hours of 10-4pm, the beach is packed with all nationalities, mostly Chinese and Russian day-trippers from Phuket. I fully understand the desire to visit as it is a paradise location, and the hotel does have a strict policy of not allowing the visitors to use the facilities, although a few snuck in whilst we were there, as the jumped up over the wall, near the sunbeds. All in all, I would highly recommend the hotel, it truly is a beautiful location and although the food is somewhat overpriced, we loved it!

Best beach in Phuket”

Facilities, staff, cleanliness... all the best. Food was so so though. The beach was the best and I come from the Philippines... totally wowed me. However, be wary of jellyfish season. We went and found 2 jellyfishes that were so big. We had to swim in the back beach. It was still clean though. Still better than the beaches in the main Phuket island. Props to Jaja the manager also. Thank you so much for the upgrade! So sad we missed her when we checked out as it was her day off.

Tropical paradise ”

This is literally the most stunning beach resort I have been to. White sands, crystal clear blue water, lush leafy grounds, luxurious rooms and lovely staff. It is literally a tropical paradise. Superb buffet breakfast, free snorkelling, kayaking, paddle boarding all day, service buzzers under your umbrella for coconuts, cocktails or lunch delivered to your lounge, 2-4-1 cocktails overlooking the stunning sunset and candlelight dinner on the lawns for dinner. Bamboo hammocks hang from the coconuts & leafy trees along the beach and hundreds of butterflies float about them just to top of the dreamy atmosphere. If you want to treat yourself to a special vacation this is definitely the spot to go. It’s absolute heaven.

Return to another excellent stay at the Racha”

Overall: 4.6/5 Value: 4/5, weighted 30% Location: 5/5, weighted 30% Service: 5/5, weighted 30% Design: 4/5 weighted 10% It was a delightful return to the Racha with my family. My last visit was in 2018 where we were upgraded to the Grand Pool Suite, 102 (request for this unit if traveling as a couple, 101 and 103 are good too). We stayed in the Lighthouse (unit 105) this time which can accommodate 6-7 guests. For those traveling with the elderly, this accommodation may be less ideal as it requires quite some steps for the rooms on the 2nd floor and above. Spend sometime on the top of the Lighthouse, it has a great view of the resort and usually quite a breeze. The Racha's location is simply amazing, this is one of the rare situation where the pictures do not do reality justice with white powder sand just steps away from the hotel. The suites are well integrated into the surroundings with special care not to bulldoze natural into submission. Service is impeccable with staff anticipating and remembering preference. That said I would note that staffing levels are not back to pre pandemic levels with the previous buggy service suspended. Getting to the Racha takes some planning and time. It takes an hour to get from the airport to the pier and another 30-40 mins via speedboat to the resort. The speedboat ride can be bumpy. Having done it twice, it is worth the journey. PS: Not all the services at the resort are back due to the recovery from the pandemic but even the pared down service offers a vacation that is very relaxing and enjoyable. Show less

This place is sits on the most beautiful beech that I've ever seen. The rooms and other buildings are beautiful and always kept nice and clean. They have their own spa, sauna and exercise facility. There are several restaurants but some of them are closed due to COVID-19. They provide (no additional cost) snorkel's, fins, large body boards and kayaks so you can hop in the water and enjoy.

Amazing villa with beach access and friendly staff ”

The beach, especially in the evenings, were stunning. You can paddle out to watch the sunset from the bay. It's also great for a swim and, if you want to go snorkeling, you can grab a free snorkel set and a bicycle from the boys in the water sports centre and cycle over to the other beaches on the island. I absolutely loved the spa and the saunas/steam room. It's affordable and they have a fantastic service. The room design, and the private pool were absolutely fantastic. The only let down was the buffet breakfast which was uninspired and the computer room which I had to use because my laptop broke down. The computers and internet access were really slow.

Honeymoon Paradise”

The hotel is beautiful and its located on a beautiful bay on Racha Island. It is definitely a place to come as newly weds, unfortunately for us we came in the beginning of May so the beach had some waves which made swimming challenging and it rained every day. I believe that time of the year its the luck of the draw. The breakfast was amazing, the best we had in Thailand. There was a live band at dinner every night and they were very good and friendly. My wife and I loved our chats with them, after their set. The rooms are clean, large and comfortable. The staff were great and really made our stay most enjoyable.

Romantic, luxury island resort”

Very elegant island resort, far out at sea (half hour speedboat from main Phuket island). Hotel faces beautiful bay, with blue-green waters and white sand beach. A bit "spoilt" by many day-trip tourists. However, hotel felt "exclusive" - villas very modern and comfortable, with full luxury facilities and private pool. Lovely elevated main pool, and good dining options, with nice sea views. Wish to spend more time here in future !
