Rayavadee

Rayavadee was one of our most favorite experiences during our two weeks all over Thailand. The views are breathtaking and the service is exceptional. The service was amazing at every level. Our only critique would perhaps be the decor as it feels a bit dated yet we liked the classic Thai style and the large two story rooms and resort are well maintained. Excellent value for an incredible resort. Read less

My husband and I stayed at the Rayavadee for our honeymoon in July 2024 and it was by far the nicest, most accommodating and lovely hotel/resort we have ever stayed at. The staff was very quick to respond and attentive. There was some miscommunication regarding the arrival time pickup from the airport and the staff was immediately so responsive and proactive with helping to ensure our transport to the hotel. We had a private car take us to the pier and had a personal speedboat take us to the hotel where we were met with flowers and a welcome drink on the beach! (cue the White Lotus theme song! how magical!) Every detail was so thoughtful and well executed. We felt as if we were in our own private sanctuary from the moment we arrived. The room was incredible and the small touches the staff did to make our honeymoon extra special was thoroughly appreciated (including the complimentary champagne, rose petal bath and delicious cookies!) Our suite had two floors with a living area downstairs and then following a curved stairwell up to the second floor was our main bedroom and bathroom. Also I cannot praise the food enough!!! it was some of the most delicious food we have ever had! our first night we ate at the Grotto (highly recommend making a reservation) and we were blown away! The venue was gorgeous and the food was absolutely stunning. The photos from the restaurant page do not come close to doing the food justice! We had the scallops and the lamb shoulder for dinner which were fantastic. Just walking around the resort itself felt like an excursion. The plant life was so beautiful we felt like we were just plucked into this little jungle oasis. Also the monkeys that live on the resort were so adorable (from a distance) and it was a dream to be able to walk along with them on the way to breakfast. The pool is fabulous and beautiful if that is your preference rather than the beach although the beach area still feels secluded and private although it is a public beach. We also got breakfast every morning at the Raya Dining and we were blown away. The braised duck leg soup is forever imprinted into our memories. They had an amazing assortment of baked goods and traditional inspired asian cuisine and fresh fruits and squeezed juices along with an al a carte menu available. We were just so impressed with our stay that our only regret was that we didn't get to spend more nights at the Rayavadee and we are already planning our next trip back! Read less

We had a first-class experience, from pick up at the airport to getting checked into our room. The staff is exceptional. It is a stunning location with a nicely manicured jungle landscape. The beaches are what you hope for. Seeing the monkeys was entertaining. It is a great place to relax on an expansive resort. I'd highly recommend it for a family. The rooms are tastefully decorated and roomy, with large bathrooms. Everything you'd hope for and more. Read less

We have been returning to Rayavadee for nearly 30 years. Beautiful everything! Beaches, food, people, scenery, sunsets, accommodations, etc. The perfect holiday spot. Four restaurants to choose from. 50% off happy hour at Raitalay Terrace restaurant while watching glorious sunsets. One of the largest infinity pools in Thailand, over looking the Andaman Sea.
