We have just spent 7 nights in a sea view villa. The villa was absolutely stunning with every amenity such as flat screen 40" tv enormous DVD library and very up to date. The staff were very courteous and made you feel like millionaires, all under the guidance of the GM Mr. Tan and his deputy Bandid. I saw them... More

We stayed in two beach front pool villas in January of 2011. On arrival we were greeted at the Phuket marina where we were told to wait two hours for the private Racha boat to take us to the island. The transfer was very nice, they gave us drinking water and we were there in about 40mins. The hotel rooms... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Racha in late October 2011. Unfortunately we only booked 3 nights, we wished we could have stayed at least 7 nights. Here is a link to a video I did that gives you a little idea of how beautiful it is: http://vimeo.com/35839545 We had an amazing time. We just happened to be on... More

Currently still staying on the resort with two adults and two kids and 4 more days to go. Traveled at the peak season and premium price. The Racha has one of the best location, facility and beaches around Phuket. It has an office at Chalong Pier where you will be greeted with a drink and cold towel. They will be... More

Spent a week in Cape Panwa before moving to the Racha. Arrived at their office in Chalong Bay and had an hour to kill - simple check in, asked what 'smelly stuff' we wanted in the room whch was a nice touch and mooched around Chalong Bay for an hour. We'd been diving with Sea Bees so knew the area... More

We stayed at The Racha between Christmas and New Year 2011. Given all the raving reviews on Tripadvisor, plus the fact that the hotel is part of SLH, we expected this to be a great holiday. Unfortunately, we found the resort to be rather average and not at all worth the very high daily rate we paid. To begin with,... More

We spent 4 night here during our honeymoon and absolutely loved the place. The setting was just beautiful and we felt very relaxed and away from it all. The beach was very nice and clean and bar from a few hours during the day, it is almost empty. The room was very big and spacious and the private pool was... More

We stayed at The Racha for four nights just now early January 2012 during high season. The resort itself is great and earns probably 4.5 points - the half point less because the restaurant staff sometimes was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of people they had to serve (e.g. it took 30 minutes to get a bottle of white...

My husband and I stayed at the Racha for a week over the new year holiday. From the moment we were picked up at Phuket airport in the hotel limo (complete with cold scented towels and water) we knew that we were in for a treat and we were not disappointed. Visually the Racha is spectacular – perched on the... More
