    - Bathroom was constantly full of bugs and animals going overhead would drop debris and more bugs from the plastic ceiling. - Room was very noisy to move around in. - Speedboats sound all day and all night. - Towels (both for shower and pools) were not well cleaned. - Stains on the toilet.

    - Amazing location, right in the jungle. - Pool was great!! - Brakfast was a big plus. - Closeby to the town and Railay west which we really enjoyed.

    What I don’t like is that you need boats to get to the hotel, and have to walk some pretty inconvenient places with heavy bags and suitcases, but it’s worth it!

    Great view - as its called;) Jungle like feeling, because of its remote location. Which is both good and bad. There is different ways to get to the mainland it’s just a bit inconvenient that you have to schedule your day after the boats. Breakfast buffet was ok. Highly recommend if you want a more “Thailand” feeling hotel, with bamboo houses and nature with a great view!

    Would be good if provided a service by the pool instead of walking to go and get drinks . Old towels left around the pool, Maybe provide a towel bin for people to drop in when used instead of leaving on beds

    Great location and friendly staff. Nice breakfast and close to bars and restaurants (short 10 minute walk). Surrounded by nature and wildlife. Room 1 was great with a lovely view

    we had read about the long tail boats running late and early, so this wasn’t a surprise and didn’t really worry us - sounded a lot like small aircraft flying over. What was not good was the Alamo at constant sound of either insects or small creatures rustling and gnawing in the space above our heads through the night every night. they could not get in, but if you wake in the night the noise is quite loud. the hotel provides earplugs and if you use them this improves the situation. The restaurant service in the evening is almost non-existent. we chose to stay there the 1st night. no tables set, no welcoming environment. when we did order the food was clearly pre-cooked and reheated. I think most people walk to the village to the many restaurants there. food ant breakfast and during the day was good

    the room was lovely - the mosquito net a real bonus. once we got our bearings the location proved to be ideal. far enough away from the very busy area but an easy walk to get there. the pool area is amazing and daytime service for food and drinks to the pool. breakfast is adequate/good but not amazing

    The noise from the boats ferrying people to and from Railay was pretty constant. We got used to it, and it didn't bother us too much, but it would be good to take that into account. Also, it's about a 10 minute walk to most of the restaurants and the beach. It's a very pretty walk, and we love to walk, so this was a bonus for us. The whole area is just beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    The breakfast was very nice, and the view from the restaurant was stunning. We had a lovely view from our room, and it was very private, even on the balcony.

    Would have preferred ceiling fans and fly screens to needing to have the air-con going all night. It was quite a long walk to get basic necessities like mosquito repellent or an ice cream after dinner!

    Gorgeous setting, lovely cabins and beautiful pool. Perfect location for a quiet, relaxing get-away.

    The noise never stops. Whether it is the passing motorboats (each passing lasts up to 3 minutes and there are hardly any breaks) or the never ending mayhem caused by workers all over the hotel, there isn't a moment's peace. I believe this should be stated on the booking site "it is never quiet here". To their credit, they offer ear plugs (which don't help much).The walk from the centre is 10-15 minutes and on occasion steep. It's up to you how you feel about it. All services carry twice the price or more, compared to the town.

    Let's start with the basics: this isolated part of the Railay Peninsula is a slice of heaven on earth; as untouched as it gets, featuring wildlife, great views and ambience. The staff are very polite and willing, though they will get stuck in minor requests if they don't fit their script. Breakfast is good.

    For a place that has a pool open till 9, I really feel like food should be available till later. We arrived post 10 pm on our first night there, and no food was available, as room service shuts at 8.30 and the restaurant at 9 pm. Also, the longtail boats passing by every few minutes can get a little annoying and disturb the peace and quiet. While the resort has provided ear plugs, I feel a better solution such as double glazed windows wold be a welcome addition. Also, the door to the balcony didn't quite lock properly.

    Great location, with really lovely and sweet staff. Breakfast was also nice, as was the pool.

    Snails. Massive car sized snails. It’s a 20 minute walk to get to shops, restaurants and beaches. You can pay 200 baht to get a taxi boat which is quite a lot considering the distance they take you. However, they do have free transfers a few times a day that you can use.

    Rooms were a good size and it felt secluded. Pool area was also nice

    It's about a 15 minute walk from the main beachfront along a small path. This is ok for the most part, but something to be aware of when arriving or departing with luggage. The onsite food is ok but quite expensive in comparison to Railay in general and there are not many options if diet is restricted.

    The resort and staff are excellent. The pool is lovely and the shuttle to the mainland is a definite bonus. Having breakfast included was great as well.

    I wasn’t aware of how many steps there were to just to get to the hotel room. We were put the furtherest one away, but I understand this how the island and hotel is built. My main concern is the food. It was unacceptable and unsafe. When we first arrived we ordered lunch and my friend ordered a pizza to then later had to run immediately to the bathroom. I then tried out the chicken satay to nearly be poisoned to Salmonella. The chicken was PINK I had to cough this back up and I was scared of how ill I would be. I was so scared all night of being ill. All staff could do is apologise but I honestly believe they did not understand how dangerous this was to serve uncooked chicken. Please check the meat at all times if eating there.

    Views and pool were fantastic. Staff helped to accommodate taking luggage to the room.

    It did get a little noisy from the constant long boats (the engines are very loud). The food from the restaurant could have been a bit better.

    The hotel was in the most beautifully secluded location about a 10 minute walk from the restaurants and activities of Railay beach. The room was decorated so nice and very clean. The view from the balcony was amazing

    It was a very hilly resort making it slightly difficult with bags however the staff were very helpful.

    Lovely pool area and nice rooms. Shower was nice. Location was good if you're happy to do a short walk and be slightly out of the lively area. The transfer arranged through the hotel was good.

    So. Many. Steps. If you have kids or mobility issues make sure you are not up the hill. I was in Villa 18. I’m pretty fit but the stairs and climb was a killer

    Pool was nice and bungalows a good size. I liked that h the location was a away from things, but you could easily reach the “town” and beaches by foot
