I was really confused by the reviews before we came here for my honeymoon (6 nights of a 15 night trip) so hopefully if you are too this will helpful. Overall I WILL go back to Railay (LOVED IT) and I might stay here (best of a bad bunch in terms of accomodation).
Good bits-
I dream about the beach that this hotel proudly sits on- it was GORGEOUS. The sunset, the cocktails at the flaming tree, Kayaking over to Tonsai and Phra Nang bliss. The room was also fine, and there is a lovely walkway through the resort to railay east (other hotels dont have this- it's a bit of a muddy trek!)
Bad bits-
Its 3-4 star and therefore very overpriced (aircon leaked, outside of privicy cottage a little unloved, Jacuzzi too freezing and dirty to use). You will never get a lounger, but doesn't matter because the beach is great. The restaurant is a joke, we walked out, the staff are rude and quite lazy.
Like I say I would stay again though as the other options were pretty poor and it is definitely a place that I want to go back to (WONDERFUL location). But I just wish they would tart it up bit more. A lick of paint and some staff training and this place would be much better.
I hope that helps :)
