Railay Village Resort, Ao Nang, Railay Bay We arrived later than expected and the room was not ready. We were asked to wait to allow the cleaners to finish with it. The room (Spa villa) is spacious, but there is not a single place to put away the clothes (apart from where the safe is, which does not accomodate more than a few pairs of pants) therefore the suitcases ended up occupying most of the space available on the floor. Also unless one plans to have a jacuzzi bath every day, I don t think it is worth the extra money. Days were perfect given the location and the facilities, but nights were a total nightmere. Hoards of voracious mosquitoes in the room, no mosquito net on the bed, an AC system that could have frozen us to death for 5 minutes, while the next 5 would have left us sweltering (not too good for one s sinuses), not to speak of the noise, more suited to a jet engine. The bed only had a thick duvet on it (which seems rather inappropriate when the temperature outside is 30+...I can only guess that the AC, if kept on all night at 21 degrees (or below) would have taken care of the mosquitoes by making them unable to move; of the duvet by making it an essential item for not dying of pneumonia; and of the lack of storage space by the sheer necessity of wearing everything at night. We didn t sleep a wink each and every night! An experience not to be repeated. Pity for the swimming pool, great for children to chill out after a day by the sea, but next time it will have to be another resort. |
very efficient and ready to give alternatives when chosen option was not available. Unfortunately not all resorts in Krabi are served by Sawadee, so for a complete picture of what is available one needs to do further research. |

Railay Village Resort, Ao Nang, Railay Bay Our second visit here and LOVED IT once again! The rooms were spacious, well appointed and impeccably clean. The bathrooms were large with seperate tub and shower. We had 2 rooms and they were adjoined, excellent for families. The 2 pools were definate highlights, especially with the kids. And the buffet breakfast was a hit with everyone.. good selection. Especially the made to order omelets. Fantastic resort! |
Easy and painless! |

Railay Village Resort, Ao Nang, Railay Bay Fabulous hotel at a very reasonable price in a great location - you really can t ask for more. We were surprised by how very good the restaurant food was as well so ate there quite a few nights. I recommend strongly and will go back again. |
Sawadee booking service was very efficient and easy. I ll definitely use it again when going to Thailand. |

Railay Village Resort, Ao Nang, Railay Bay Railay Village is a really nice place! Simple! If you worried about the resort and pool not looking like it does in the pictures, don’t because everything is as nice as it looks on the website. We stayed in the pool access room and it was really nice, modern, clean and quite large. The pool really is amazing as we were there in early June, it was extremely quiet and very relaxing. Food in the restaurant is not great, but plenty of other places to eat. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend paying the extra and staying here! |
Excellent |

Railay Village Resort, Ao Nang, Railay Bay Overall we loved the Resort! The pool villa was clean and comfortable...we enjoyed being just next to the pool -- a nice break from the beach heat! I had read several comments/reviews that mentioned the staff being unhelpful and even rude. I find this a bit shocking, as the staff were very nice and helpful and even very friendly---but we were friendly to the staff. I think it is a matter of being nice and people are nice back (hmmm simple really)! As foreigners we need to remember that english is NOT their first language and have respect for the fact that they are speaking engligh to support us!! I did overhear a few conversations where the foreign guest did not treat the staff so nicely (rude actually) and of course the staff memeber was not friendly and definitely less helpful! people you are on vacation...take it easy and smile a little --that smile can go a long way!! |
I had no issues, very easy to use and received payment confirmation quickly. |

Railay Village Resort, Ao Nang, Railay Bay Pleasantly surprised by the pool villas. So good I am not sure it s really worth it paying extra for a spa villa. Very baby friendly with a nice, big pool literally outside the door. The rooms were quite large and beautiful. Railay in general is quite expensive - I have been here many times and Railay Village definately count as the best value option. Railay Bay is more expensive, older, uglier and more squeezed together. Sand Sea is a lot older and only slightly cheaper. Railay Beach Club is nice too, but no pool or air-con. |
No problem, but an email exchange of about 15 emails necessary to get the transfer right. That could have been smoother. |

Railay Village Resort, Ao Nang, Railay Bay Hotel is very nice on beutiful beach. We book Poolside room and we got on the first floor with in front of pool. Just open the door , my kid can swim all day. The pool is so nice and not too deep , that safe for children. The room is good and comfortable. Brakefast is good and lot of choice but too much of fly insect in that area. We also had dinner at here (no fly insect in evening) , the food was good and not too high price. Overall, this hotel is very nice , we plan to back again in low season time with lower price so that we can do longer stay. |
Very nice , very comfortable, low price , so easy. I have used this web for booking the hotel more than 10 times.. |

Railay Village Resort, Ao Nang, Railay Bay Railay Village Hotel is a beautiful and charming resort nestled on one of the most picturesque beaches in Krabi. We stayed in a SPA VILLA for our 5 day 4 night trip. The Villa was spacious and gorgeous. Amenities include a jacuzzi tub set in a separate area, a huge walk in shower with rainfall head, mini-fridge, kettle, robe, daybed, house slippers, umbrellas, flip-flops and safe. The villa/house is set in a tropical landscape with a small veranda (with deck loungers) and small pound complete with tadpoles, frogs and lilies. There are two pools; one nearest the beach is small, and a larger one is located farthest from the beach near the Pool Villas. The grounds are pristine and serene. Great for honeymooners and families. NEGATIVES: No shampoo in bathroom on check-in which was minor but noticed. The coffee and tea service was not refilled everyday nor were the cups cleaned. General service at the restaurant and hotel was very poor. Not sure if it was a Southern Thai thing but I didn t get the sense that the staff cared or were ever in a particular hurry. The men s toilets near the restaurant were disgusting a clogged with feces. Railay Village is also a Muslim run and owned resort so there is NO ALCOHOL sold on the premises. Not a big deal, since you can go next door to the bar, restaurant of mini-mart to order alcoholic beverages. It would have been nice to have know that from the site but I don t think it would have affected our decision to stay. If you are planning on visiting Krabi, I would definitely recommend staying on Railay West since the beaches are so much nicer and cleaner than those on Railay East. Railay East has mangrove trees and the beaches and rocky and muddy, thereby making accommodations cheaper. I thought long and hard whether I would stay at the Railay Village again if I went back to Krabi and I probably would but would want to check out a few other properties in the area first. |
Good service and very easy as always. I would say I get the best deal from www.sawadee.com about 95% of the time. |

Railay Village Resort, Ao Nang, Railay Bay The staff are very helpful but service at the restaurant can be a bit slow. The pool villa where we stayed is lovely. Very spacious, we like the lay out, the pond at the front with loungers add to the charm of the villa. We were not happy about is the sewer, it smells during heavy downpour and also the safe doesn t work at times. |
The booking is very easy but I think that they should just charge us for the deposit and that you should only pay for the remaining amount upon arrival. |
