Reviews of Rapala Rock Wood Resort

It says in the description it has tv and kitchen but no TV or kitchen beside they ask for 200 the to help with luggage to the pier which is about 4 minutes walk and they have trolly ! Other than that all was ok

The bungalows are a bit flimsy. In mine, I had to slam the door shut with all my might, and there were gaps in the bathroom leading outside. However, the air conditioning works powerfully and, combined with the fan, banishes the heat from the bungalow instantly. The hotel entrance is via a steep, long staircase, but there's a lift trolley for luggage – you put your suitcases in it, and they go up. The trolley isn't very noticeable, and the sign for this service isn't immediately obvious, but it is there. Everything at the reception is good and polite. There's a fridge with beer and a mini-cafe where you can sit at a table or on the veranda with cushions, enjoying the sea and cliff views.

I really disliked the room; I just counted down the minutes until my stay at this hotel was over and I could finally leave. If there had been any other hotels available when I checked in, I wouldn't have even bothered to stay here. The room felt like a tiny shack, with all the windows located below waist level, near the floor. Because the windows were so low and the building itself was situated slightly lower than others on the property, the view from my room's windows was absolutely awful! There were three windows, and from two of them, all I could see was a staircase next to overflowing trash cans. The third window offered a view of another building's foundation. On top of that, all the buildings are extremely close together, so when you're just sitting on your bed, you can see the legs and slippers of people walking by through the windows. To say it was disgusting is an understatement. I had to ask the administrator twice to remove the trash cans from outside my windows because they were taken away once, only to be put back the next day. Aside from the administrators, the hotel staff on the property were unfriendly. The room was infested with colonies of red ants. All the shower water would collect in a large puddle near the toilet and just sit there all day, and there were thick layers of dust in the shower area. The staff were constantly noisy, sweeping the hotel grounds around my room, yet they never once swept or cleared leaves from the porch right outside my door. The hotel's pictures completely failed to show how poorly positioned the windows were. The room was small with nowhere to put my belongings, not even hangers. The pool was more like a kiddie pool. The price is unjustifiably high for such a room and doesn't match the room's quality. Overall, I did not enjoy my stay at this hotel and will never return.

This was, by far, my favorite stay in my time in South Thailand. The rooftop was amazing, gorgeous views and nice breeze to escape the heat. Lots of space-i was doing yoga up there in the mornings. The room was also nice. We had a king bed, which was just two smaller beds pushed together. Wasn't horrible, but there's definitely a crease between the two mattresses, so be aware if that's something that would bother you. The restaurant was good and pretty fast. We loved having breakfast on the restaurant balcony and watching the monkeys while we ate. The trolley to carry luggage up and down was a lifesaver! I had previously stayed at Blanco hostel next door and the stairs were killer, but Rapala had maybe half the amount of stairs, all under shade (take the stone steps to the left for a less steep climb and better views). We didn't end up using the pool, but it looked like a great spot to cool off and the water was always a nice temp when we checked walking by. Highly recommend!

A place that is meant to impress. Premium looking room that is in your own hut-like building. I loved the rooftop that is fully yours on the top of your room.

This hotel offers great value for money! The room has a lovely balcony with a hammock. The only downside is a steep climb to get to the room, but they do have an elevator just for luggage, which is a big help!

Great Place! The bungalow was new with its own terrace and rooftop. Very clean, super friendly staff, great and cheap food. Will definitely stay here again. And for “Island” the price is great too. 10/10 recommend 🙏☺️

Enjoyed to stay in this simple bungalow, have no objections and would recommend to stay here if you are on a budget

Very chill small resort and the east end of Railay. Room was nice and you could observe birds, flying foxes and monkeys in the distance.

Comfortable quiet hotel. Located on the hill (luckily they have a lift to carry your bags but not you) that has a great view of the sea below whilst having a meal from the hotel. You don't hear much noise from the bars below or nearby or the hustle of people moving between hotels and the beach. The room is similar to a log cabin and you can hear people walking by from time to time. The room service is sufficient but you must inform reception in advance and they'll top up your water at the same time. You can find a variety of restaurants within an 800m walk, I'd suggest turn left (when exiting) and walk about 600m to a restaurant adjacent to the water with various seating options (tables or bean bags). Food is good and reasonably priced. If you not up for the stairs after dinner, eating at the hotel is possible and can recommend it.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, and I enjoyed staying here.

It's located 10 minutes from the pier, the rooms are very clean, and they offer free water, coffee, soap, and shampoo. There's air conditioning, a water heater, and a refrigerator. The staff is super friendly, and the breakfast and meals are very good quality and reasonably priced. The hotel is in a beautiful and very peaceful setting. There are many stairs to climb to reach the bungalows; it's a steep climb not suitable for people with reduced mobility. They have good food options. TomTom gave us some good recommendations.

The hotel resembles a tourist center. It has separate cottages with a veranda and a hammock. The staff is very friendly, and everything you need is there. We checked in early. The surrounding area is lush and beautiful. The owner has two very kind and sociable French bulldogs.

Excellent bungalows. The downsides were the lack of hangers and inconsistent cleaning. We ate at the hotel often and enjoyed almost all the dishes.
