A little bit run down and to much people during day, occupying the little beach. The restaurant was a bit boring, go to Coco at Lha bay instead. The reef is a bit dead because of the high temperature in the sea. Many speedboats get to close to the beach and drops an anker on the corrals. Nice and quiet... More

We booked 4 days at Ban Raya without having been to the place/island before. Its a great setting but when we got there we discovered that the hotel brings divers and snorklers to the resort every single day from 12:00-03:00 PM. Everyday the resort is swarmed with about 50-70 outside guests coming in from several boats to have lunch an... More

After we made the booking with Agoda, we tried to arrange the transfer from Phuket with the hotel. However, we couldn't find the hotel's email address anywhere whether it's on Agoda's booking confirmation or the hotel's website. The only way to contact the hotel is a phone number shown on Agoda's booking confirmation page. As a result, we decided to... More

Of the three resorts on Raya Island, this one seems to be the least expensive and the furthest from the boat dock at Patok Beach. When arriving at the island, someone from this hotel was waiting to greet me and the other new arrivals and provided transportation to the hotel via a small trailor pulled by a small tractor. However,... More

After a very bumpy journey via speedboat to reach the island, our first impressions of the resort was that we had better like what was there- as there is not many other choices within easy reach. We stayed in one of the cheaper rooms without aircon. The room itself was ok, it had everything we needed and certainly nothing more.... More

We are a family of four divers, who holiday to dive, but still expect a fair level of pampering and comfort, good food, comfy bed and a swimming pool. This was our first visit to Thailand. The resort: Set on the East side of the Island away from the crowds on Patok Beach. Beautiful setting amongst the trees with a... More

I spend 8 nights here at standard room 48. If you have a shorter stay you should consider a higher quality of the room. Standard rooms are ok - basic with a small terrace and even a cable TV. These rooms have no AC. Maybe ( I hope) I was unlucky to have room 48 - the "last" room of... More

Ban Raya is not a 4 or 5 star resort but what it is is unique. Set in a coconut plantation it has a wonderful atmosphere with walking paths throughout the resort. This is a place if you like the quiet. If you need to be entertained then this is not the place, as there isn't a lot to do... More

This is a small island about 45 min ride by speed boat to Racha Island from Chalong Bay. Ban raya resort is nice but bring a lot of books and an iPad. Staff is semi friendly some good some not so good but I guess that's the case any where you go. Room is clean and ac from 6pm to... More
