A long walk to the water

What we say:

This very large resort has a wide range of rooms and bungalows, a pool, mini-mart and internet centre. Rooms are clean and well-kept, with upholstered furnishings and stone-work bathrooms, though the cheapest ones, while spacious, and a bitbland. The ones right at the back are a very long walk from the water's edge.

Dissapointing

There seemed to be a dearth of budget accommodation in Railay so, given the choice between an extremely basic room at Rapala for 500B and a slightly nicer room at Viewpoint for 700B (this was their cheapest room) we opted for the latter. I obviously had rose-tinted glasses on when I first viewed the room though - it was actually really tatty and certainly not the 'treat' the guy had promised me when he showed me round! The pool was OK but didn't have many loungers around it - not a problem as it poured with rain most of the time! Given the lack of choice I'd probably stay there again but would be loathe to!

NOT again!!!

The place is like never reaching destination, after you think it's there, it's still not. I paid 2,000 for only 1 night stay during high season and it's a real cheat! I didn't even get breakfast for this rate. The room was so horrified just like in ghost movie and the pool is so small. They said I got the best room with pool view but you just got pool in front of your room.. and you dont wanna to see everyone swimming before your eyes all the times, right? I had to move out even I paid already, just can't stay really.

Reasonable Accommodation

We paid 1000 baht for a bungalow with a/c, we thought it was a bit expensive for what it was. Beds were quite uncomfortable, decor is dated. On a positive, the pool and the grounds are quite nice. You'll have to ask for your room to be made up though, otherwise they don't bother coming around. It isn't cheap to stay in The Railay Beach area, we found this is one of the cheapest places. East Railay has plenty of bars and restaurants, it's just a shame there is so much rubbish dumped there. Even though it's just a mangrove beach, it could still look nice, if the hotels and restaurants took more care over the area. The other beaches and landscape are stunning, this was one of my fave spots in Thailand.
