"Beautiful location .exceptional staff and cuisine "

"Western breakfast but the staff will let you order off of the menu even while the buffet is serving. "

"It’s an amazing property. Great Thailand experience. The staff is wonderful. I especially must give an exceptional review for Reena our tour guide from the hotel. We had a great experience. The only problem that we experienced is the trolley situation. The resort is large so I would suggest have the trollies going around more often. Otherwise it was perfect "

"Breakfast was excellent. Pool was lovely with amazing views."

"We had an unforgettable and truly magical two-day stay at Phulay Bay. From the moment we made our booking, every interaction—both before arrival and during our time at the hotel—was exceptional. The staff are genuinely warm, attentive, and effortlessly create a welcoming atmosphere; from the second we arrived, we felt completely at home. A special mention must go to Anna, our personal butler, who was outstanding and deserves the highest praise. She went above and beyond to ensure we made the absolute most of our short stay, anticipating our needs with care and thoughtfulness. One of the highlights was the complimentary trip to Hong Island on the resort’s longtail boat—an experience we’ll always remember. The kids were equally delighted with the stunning infinity pool overlooking the islands. Breakfast was nothing short of extraordinary, offering an impressive variety of unique and delicious options. Standout dishes included the blue crab omelette and the local lobster omelette—both absolutely superb. The Thai restaurant Sri Tang is equally exceptional, with ingredients sourced locally or grown on-site, resulting in vibrant, authentic flavours that truly impressed us. We also had the pleasure of meeting Paul, the Food & Beverage Manager, at the hotel’s cocktail party. His passion and enthusiasm for the cuisine were infectious and the dining experience at Sri Tang certainly lived up to his description. We were genuinely disappointed to be leaving so soon and will return! "

"A great family hotel choice. The location is excellent - there’s a long tail boat station just opposite for easy access to Railay. The night market is a short walk away and there are great restaurants and cafes close by. The swimming pool is great for kids. Our room (family suite) was huge, very clean and the children were very happy with the free drinks and snacks included. It’s not a luxurious hotel, but we were very happy with our choice. "

"If you are looking for R&R, this place is for you, provided you can handle stairs. Our room was spacious and the sea view was beautiful. We had room 111. We truly believe it is the worst room they have. We were forewarned during check in that it was a distance away and involved stairs, but was the room that fit with our booking of king bed and sea view. We had 54 stairs to climb from our rm to the main lobby. 35 stairs to the restaurant. We couldn’t get to anything without stairs. We even had to go up one set of stairs and down another to get to the pool. We also like to sit out on our balcony after returning from the pool. Our balcony was directly above a staff area, so at times, was quite noisy. (Voices, a noisy water pump (?) I don’t know what the phone ext. was for our rm, but twice in 9 nights we received calls from other guests. The first was around midnight asking for water to be sent to their room. The second was at 1:45 am asking for help with their luggage. Both times we were sleeping. Speaking of pools, they are lovely (but in need of some work). Again, 8 steps down to the infinity pool and another 22 to the lower pool. Kudos to the chefs! We didn’t have one single meal that wasn’t delicious! Our second last night, we saw a daytime activity schedule at the top of the stairs near the lobby bar. Who knew!? They offer currency exchange, but not for Canadian $ There is literally nothing to do here. Beautiful place but 10 nights was too long. "

"The stay was quite good. The reception and lounge area do need fans as it was too hot to be there at the lounge."

"Great resort - insanely beautiful view and sunset!"
