We stayed in a deluxe bungalow for two nights. The space was a good size and given the size of the property, we were 100m from the main pool and the east beach. The shower was in need of some type of pressure but I'm sure not easy given the area. Breakfast was good. Be aware that this property doesn't sell alcohol. Also, there is a massive garbage barge grounded right in front of the property. Maybe not their fault but it's a serious draw back for the surreal surroundings! The staff go out of their way to help and for that we are thankful 🙏

Great location, right on Railay Beach. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Room was adequate except the smell in the bathroom during certain part of the day. Food is good and it was near stores and restaurants. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel is low level, not more than two stories, so it is like a series of small buildings either single occupancy or rooms. Our room was excellent, large with good facilities. A few things you should know are that getting there and leaving require a minbus, a motorcycle to get your stuff on the pier and a wooden longboat to get to the beach since there are no roads. So, be prepared for that. Also, beware of the monkeys who can be pretty tricky. Otherwise, the scenery is unworldly, maybe the most spectacular beach you will ever see. Side tours are also available, and there is a street with outside restaurants for alternativ dining. Staff were super friendly and helpful when we mislaid a jacket. Definitely would recommend this hotel

Amazing views and nice clean room

Stunning location. It is an Islamic hotel, so no alcohol is served on site, however there are several pubs very close by, so it really want an issue. It did also mean that there was no pork served at breakfast which was a bit of a bummer. Otherwise it is a lovely resort.

Lovely jungle + beach. Staff as is typical in Thailand - caring and attentive. This is definitely not a four star hotel as the issues are as follows: 1 a rusting garbage filled beach ship is directly in front of a pristine view of the beach coastline and surrounding limestone cliffs. Rusting and full of garbage. Disgusting 2. Lighting in the rooms are inadequate you have to use your camera iPhone 3. No water pressure in the restroom sink. 4. The drain is clogged and the sink fills up with water. 5. Breakfast might’ve been 3 1/2 star at best but need demoted to 3 star as we and other guests complaining that the coffee from a machine was essentially powder with hot water. Awful 6. Because his hotel evidently is Muslim owned their religious dictates in terms of what can be served and what cannot be served is unacceptable to a vacationing guest. Most would prefer to have an evening cocktail while watching the sunset. Muslims are not allowed to drink alcohol and their rules at this hotel apply to everyone! Discriminatory and unfair especially when it’s not included in the information when you book this hotel. If not misrepresentation it’s misleading. Bottom line - don’t come here for any of these reasons

Incredible. Pictures are unable to capture th beauty and relaxing nature of this one in a million gem. If you have the opportunity to visit, or even if you think you do not have time for a visit... Make it happen. You will love it. It was the highlight of our whole month around Thailand. Everything about the venue and the surrounding teeny tiny town is beyond belief. It was perfect. Everything about our short four nights here created memories that will last a lifetime. If you love nature, love relaxation, love the beach, love undiscovered treasure, then come to this incredible place.
