HOTEL THE RACHA Luxe

We were a family from August 08 to August 10, 2017. Lovely room, wonderful sea, quiet rest. In the evening, a trio of musicians plays on the beach. The staff is friendly and responsive. Very nice and beautiful place.

We had an amazing time!!! Everything was superb, the only negative thing was that all beaches in Thailand are public so between 10am and 1pm you'll have a lots of tourist in the beach area if you want to avoid crowd you'll have to go to the beach between 8 and 10 am

Family of four, stayed here from 24 to 29 July in a two bedroom deluxe with pool unit. This place is amazingly beautiful and welcoming, the crown jewel is the white powdery sand beach with azure water (wow). views are stunning!. We arrived at the resort from Phuket via the resort's speed boat, 30 minutes trip. due to the season we landed at an alternative bay and were transported to the resort by trams (5 minutes ride). check in was very quick the accommodation; villa 1204 had an excellent view of the sea, a large infinity edge pool on the second floor with sun decks, tables and a canopied sofa. two air conditioned bed rooms and a sitting area. very bright and lively. the bathrooms were very spacious and amply stocked with toiletries. each bedroom and the sitting area had flatscreen TVs. An outdoor shower next to the pool. The staff were excellent, the best we have had anywhere. congratulations to the management. especially, Monika, Bandid , and Laura at the front desk, Boy at the leisure centre. We didn't miss breakfast once, very enjoyable time. with a wide range to select from and the enjoyable morning breeze. We enjoyed a couple of dinners in the resort Thai restaurant. very delicious food and excellent ambience, right on the beach. we also had a few meals in the village, which we very much enjoyed. we hired quad bikes from the hotel twice, quite enjoyable to explore the area around the island. we were told there were trekking routes, unfortunately did not try! the resort suggested to us to have a seafood barbeque in the villa, they provided all the seafood and the settings. it was extremely enjoyable and delicious. on the last day, we had requested the resort for a paid extension until 4 pm but our request could not be accommodated due to type of room being full. But to our surprize and delight, we were provided with alternative accommodation for free! Thank you Racha team. We wish we could have stayed longer!, would we go back', certainly. Highly recommended resort, very complete!

The rooms were large and spacious. The outdoor shower was nice in the tropical weather. The staff throughout the resort were extremely friendly and helpful. The diving instructors at the dive centre were very nice and knowledgable. The diving itself wasn't as great as other parts of Thailand but still enjoyable. As per the other reviews, the main beach does get busy during the day with the day trippers. We avoided the day trippers by heading to one of the pools. The staff do an amazing job of making sure it is only hotel guests within the hotel grounds. The amenities (snorkelling equipment, canoes, bikes etc.) were provided as part of your stay. Will be hoping to get back to the Racha in the future.

Went with the family for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. Despite the forecast of rain we had sunny skies and great weather. Seas were rough but the shallow beach allowed us to boogie board safely. Great service from the staff. Would definitely go back again.
