great staff ! just very outdated room and very dark

We stayed two nights at Railay Village Beach Resort in a Deluxe Poolside Room and it was absolutely dreamy. The property may be a few years old, but it’s beautifully maintained and definitely feels like an upper-class stay. The rooms are huge, with an incredibly comfortable bed and plenty of space to unwind. The pool is stunning, surrounded by plumeria and tropical flowers that make it feel like your own private oasis. Lounge chairs can be a little competitive since there aren’t many, so grab one early if you’re keen, but each patio has its own seating area, so it’s never really an issue. The resort is wonderfully quiet. You’re steps from the beach and the main strip, yet you hear none of the noise. It feels tucked away while still being perfectly central. The staff are fantastic, warm and attentive throughout our stay. Breakfast was also excellent, with a generous buffet selection including hot dishes, salad bar, pastries, breads, juices, coffee, and a made-to-order egg station. We loved our stay here. Comfortable, peaceful, beautiful, and perfectly located. What’s not to like? 10/10, would happily relax at Railay again.

We had a lovely stay at Nirvana. Our room was beautiful and spacious, overlooking the beach. The staff were helpful and friendly. The pool is lovely and the swim up bar was great fun. There are paddleboards available for free use throughout the day. We organised a snorkelling trip and airport transfer through the hotel and they were very helpful with organising these. We also rented a scooter from the hotel which was a great way to see the island. Breakfast was tasty and in a beautiful setting overlooking the beach. The location of the hotel is good, you can walk or take a short scooter/taxi ride to a range of restaurants and other beaches. The beach at the hotel is stunning and quiet. Our negatives were - we had dinner at the hotel one evening and although friendly, the service was extremely slow and we ended up leaving before dessert as we'd been waiitng so long. The food itself was lovely. The jacuzzi bath on the balcony of the room took a long time to fill. Bear this in mind if you opt for this room, you'll need to wait a while before each use. The shower was a bit dated with poor water pressure. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely return in the future

The Staff are so kind and show what true customer service is. I also would like to send a special Thank you to Rose the day trip organiser, she is fantastic at her job. The location hotel is perfect a 5 min walk if that from the beach and easy access to nearby bars.The pool is also a nice size and breakfest has a nice selection.

Beautiful room and amenities
