Description
This massive spot is worth checking out if everywhere else is full simply due to their vast number of rooms. It's a veritable bungalow-burb out behind reception, with row after row of bland concrete cubes. Not pretty to look at, but inside they're clean and reasonably well maintained -- some are colourfully decorated and pretty nice. The deals here on the rooms that sleep four are excellent for families and groups. The new pool is a welcome addition for those who couldn't be bothered with the trek to the water.

Not worth the money -

Decent room, decent pool, long walk from any of the good beaches. I also didn't like that they forced be to leave a passport at the front desk during my entire stay. As someone else stayed, it's not exactly a resort, and definitely not worth 1600 baht for an A/C bungalow.
good value for money -

This was a great hotel for the price. Very large room, very clean. Only problem was that we had a very long walk to get to it (may have got off boat in wrong place though), and it's slightly uphill when you get there. Also, one of the nights when we arrived back, there were no outside lights on, so almost impossible to find our way back to our room. Also, huge rock adjacent is beautiful, but blocks out sun around pool fairly early on. But all round, fairly luxurious for the price.

1 Moo 2 Railay Beach
This long-running spot has unusual multi-storey wooden rooms which are quite good value. The rooms vary a bit in size and view, so if possible, ask to see a few to take your pick from. Staff are friendly and the resort isn't too noisy in the evening. The stairs here though are lethal, particularly... more
Railay Cabana
Inland, on the road from the beach near Diamond Cave Resort
Along the beach on Railay East you'll see a sign pointing to Railay Cabana just before you reach the Diamond Cave Resort -- it's a good ten-minute walk to get there. The setting is quite beautiful -- situated just below the looming limestone cliffs -- with a very remote feeling to it. It is remote,... more
Rapala Resort
Moo 2 (halfway between the centre and the northern end of the beach), Railay
This is an excellent backpacker spot. Located at the top of a long flight of stairs, it's quite a climb up, but far from the noise of the long-tails below. There's a long line of bungalows reaching up into the hills -- basic and rustic, to be sure -- mattress on the floor, hammock on the porch --... more

Follow the signs to Railay Cabana to get here, and you'll find it along the way, a good ten minutes walk from the water. The bungalows here are minimalist, but larger and somewhat nicer than the ones at the Cabana. The setting isn't quite as striking, but it's less of a walk to the beach and closer... more
