Racha Island Resort

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, we had a Chino room overlooking the pool and the gardens, this was absolutely beautiful. The room was lovely if not a little old school but were kept exceptionally clean. We was on a bed and breakfast board and the breakfast was good. There was a few things that let the hotel down. Dinner and evening meals were bland and maybe a little below standard and the staff could smile a little more! We hired the ATVS for an hour but after 10 minutes I had a flat tyre and it wouldn't start. My husband went to get help from the staff and I walked back (which was quite pleasant) however it was a battle to get a refund, I finally managed to get a full refund and 50% back for my husbands, something you don't really want to be dealing with on a short trip. The setting for this hotel is outstanding right on the most beautiful beach and despite the few small niggles I would recommend it.

Wonderful stay! Strongly recommend if you want to relax. Staff were amazing, so helpful and kind.

Wow. This hidden gem of a resort should be on your list of idilic Thailand island location to see. The pool side rooms are recommended with the pool often empty and not used after 8pm. They are large double bed rooms with well fitted bathrooms a 1 minute walk to the beach.

This hotel is a hidden gem! Mrs Apple is a fantastic host - thanks for making us so welcome Keep up the good work The taxi service from the jetty is super efficient The restaurant setting on the beach is superb The food was outstanding Thanks for making our stay so pleasant Mike Sally Peter Michelle

Sengene var lige til den hårde side og hovedpuderne var meget hårde. Stort ser alle værelser havde en hengemt lugt…. Men dejligt stille og roligt. Swimmingpoolen, sand og hav var forrygende☀️

Where to start? Perfect location, great bay, dream views. But that’s about it. The facilities need renovation, poor maintenance of gardens and surroundings. Unprofessional management. Abandoned equipment and furniture laying in corners, garbage bags. Plastic on the beach. The resort goes for a desperate ‘everything extra’ policy.. want to paddle.. 500 half an hour, need a life vest.. 50 extra.. toilet 20.. (but sign only.. they did not actually charge for toilet use). Big issue is that hotel guests and groups of day-trip visitors just does not go well together. 8 sunbeds w. topper in first row.. well.. blocked by visitors. Visitors called to gather by whistle.. very romantic . garbage bags left behind..garbage still around after 2 days.

We stayed 4 nights and loved it. The Chino room was both beautiful and restful. Loved the surroundings and the beach …. But, it was chaotic in knowing how to get to the island resort (hotel instructions are not clear) and then finding that the restaurant by the stunning beach only operated certain hours was a shock. But we made the most of it and would be back in a second if we could.

Racha Island Resort is the perfect get away if you want peace and tranquility, as opposed to The Racha Hotel, which is on the beach where all the tourist boats come in. There were some day trippers who used the restaurant for lunch, but they were sat in a designated area so the Hotel guests had full use of the main restaurant beautiful sea front tables as well as the sun beds. We had a ground floor Chino Room next to the pool. It was very spacious with a large fridge. The bathroom was again very spacious with oval bath, lovely walk in shower and a separate area for hanging clothes Staff were fantastic - English was good. the Manager of the Restaurant was such a gentleman and extremely attentive and helpful. All the housekeepers were again very cheerful and did a fantastic job of cleaning the room on a daily basis. Internet connection was ok if you were near to reception to use the free wifi - if you have roaming on your phone then there is not a problem

Very large grounds, 400 meters of white, clean, quiet beach. Children enjoy it very much. spacious rooms with bathtubs. Nice swimming pool. Typical Thai food, plenty of it. Nice hiking trails next to the hotel.

Just spent 4 days here it is a Beautiful island, however disappointing the amount of daily boat trips that arrive. Flooding the beaches and the guides walk round blowing whistles to round there groups up! When your a hotel guest and trying to relax pretty impossible. Lack of sun beds only 12 sun beds with cushions, the rest are plastic and when I tried to lie on one in the sun was told it’s 100 baht! Not what u expect when are staying on the island. It’s also 20 baht every time you need the toilet, not acceptable for hotel guests either. The food in the restaurant is good food, not enough waiting staff tho, u have to constantly get up and ask for everything very slow service for drinks and orders to be taken. Plastic in the corners of the beach, no one seems to care or even attempt to clear it away, it’s just hidden round the corner out of sight out of mind. When leaving the island we booked the 3pm direct boat bk to the pier, conveniently this boat was broken. So u have to join the snorkelling trip and go via coral island. This island could be so much better than it is!!! The room we had was clean and big! The decor is really odd! Feels like an old English mannor house, not very Thai! Really needs updating. Doesn’t warrant a 4 star rating! I’d give it a 3! Evenings the restaurant last orders are 7,30 and it closes at 8, no other option for a bar either. There is a shop where u can buy the usual. The pool was grotty, with stagnant pond water round the outside, so many mosquitoes recommend u take a can of bug spray for your room.
