Railay Garden View Resort

This resort was so cute and they had an elevator to carry your luggage to the top! This is on the east side of the island so to get the Longtail Boats on the West side of the island, pack a backpack, not a suitcase!

I liked the rustic element of this hotel. It was lovely to fall asleep to the sound of animals. The amenities were stripped to the basic. There was no hair dryer, or kettle. To make a tea, you would have to go the the canteen, which was great and had good views to the pier. There was unlimited toast which you could make, with was plenty for a free breakfast. The biggest criticism is that when we visited, there was no hot water in the shower for our entire stay. One aspect that did get tiring over time is also the climb up the stairs every time to get to the hotel and rooms, however they have a handy suitcase elevator. We got to see monkeys and even say a dragon and lots of cats The rooms were cleaned well. When sleeping you had to be under a mosquito covering as there were lots of gaps in the floors. So mosquitos could get in.

A very nice place. There is a stair and a lift for big bags. That is convenient. Everybody was friendly. We stayed there for 3 nights. At first we had noisy neibourgs. They were loud till 4 in the morning. That was unpleasant, but it's not hotel's fault. The rest of time it was nice. View from the balcony was not directly to sea, but it was beautiful. Sounds from boats don't appear at night. At daytime it's easy to get used to them.

The place was absolutely stunning. You can wake up and absorb the sea view from your terrace. Very close to nature and animals are so friendly. No air conditioner though, so it quite hot during the day. Lots of cats

Very good service, clean and helpful staff. Rooms with everything you need and great views!
