Beachfront hotels Railay Beach

Beautiful property with a terrific pool and private villas. For whatever reason, they don’t showcase the best photos so make sure to click through all of the pictures. We paid around 10,000thb per night in March for a private villa with a pool, which felt like a good deal. We still went to the resort pool each day to socialize and have a few drinks at the swim up bar (happy hour bogo cocktails for around 300 thb). Breakfast was comparable with all of the other resorts we’ve stayed at in Thailand. The food at the restaurant was resort prices (300thb for pad Thai) but surprisingly good. Small Chang beers for 120thb though so instead walk to a nearby convenience store and stock up for your room for closer to 70thb/large beer. Note, this is not facing a usable beach. Instead it faces small patches of mangroves, but it’s only a few minute walk to the regular Railay beaches. The hotel arranged our private transportation via email the day before our arrival. It was 1200thb and included airport pickup to the Ao Nam Bao pier then a private long tail boat to East Railay Pier. We had to carry our own luggage to the resort along a fully paved sidewalk. The return trip was 1600thb and the bellhops carried our bags to the boat. We’ll definitely be back and we’ll bring pool floats for the villa pool next time :)

We loved Railay Bay Resort and wish we stayed longer. I had 2 massages with Kate which were excellent. The only downside is the restaurant on location is quite average. The restaurant is very understaffed, but otherwise the rest of the resort seemed well taken care of with plenty of help.

This resort is huge! The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Our room was clean and comfortable. Main pool and beach area was awesome. There are limited pool chairs for how many guests there are and this hotel does not serve alcohol. There is a market walking street next door that has great shopping, massage salons, food options and bars.
