  "True 5 star hotel and the most beautiful location"
  "This now my third visit to The Racha, and I cant wait until my fourth! After only managing a 3 night stay on my last visit, this time my girlfriend and I stayed for 8 nights, and it has been one of the most enjoyable and relaxing holidays ever. After a very stressful winter of work, I was really l..."ooking forward to unwinding at The Racha, and was not disappointed, the villas and pool area are just as fresh as they were two years ago, If anything the place looked even newer. The villas are absolutely amazing, with a great modern and minimalist design, the bathrooms very spacious with a separate shower to the bath, and another shower outdoors. they come with all the mods, including a bose ipod dock, and my favourite the movie box with 100's of movies that are free to watch, unlike other hotels which charge a fortune to watch a movie.

  "Beautiful hotel but limited food options and awful service"
  "I visited the Racha with my family in December 2012 and was amazed at how beautiful it was at first glance. The resort itself is beautiful but can get a bit boring as there is not much entertainment at night. The restaurants are a bit disappointing - again no atmosphere and average food quality. ..."One thing that astounded me was how inexperienced the staff were. Most could not speak English and it was quite clear that the Manager had put little to no effort into the hiring/choosing of staff. Every request was difficult and drawn out as there was a huge communication gap/language barrier between us and them. For such a stunning, 5 star hotel it was a real let down that the service wasnt up to usual standards, especially compared to an equivalent hotel on the mainland. " More >

  "A Dreamy Getaway!"
  "We stayed at Racha in June 2011, so received a low season discount. Otherwise this hotel would've been too expensive for us. It's a really special getaway as you arrive on the island from Phuket via a private boat ride. The hotel is on the other side of the island from the arrivals pier and the wate..."r there is crystal clear. The white sandy beach is pristine and beach activity / gear is complementary. Only downside is that the beach is open to public day trippers. The room was wonderfully spacious and well designed, the breakfast buffet was amazing (great variety and fresh honey straight from the hive!) and dinner was great. The chef even came by to teach us how to make crepe suzette. Overall it was a great experience and we still dream of the turquoise blue waters of this island... " More >
