Ban Raya Resort and Spa

Very nice layout of the resort on the hill. A lot of very cozy places to enjoy or take pictures. You can see the sunrise from the resort. Amazing! Very friendly staff but expect using Translate App if you communicate in English or other languages. From the breakfast area you can see the sea down the hill. Nice snorkling in the hotel beach, maybe the best place on the island. We met lots of fish like triggerfish, butterfly, boxfish, moray eels, parrotfish etc. Even one small stonefish and several times cuttlefish. The beach of the hotel is covered by stone. If you want send, you can walk 500 meters to Ter Bay beach. In our bungalow there were so many electric plugs so we were able to charge all phones and cameras and power banks at once! :) In our bungalow (we had a villa with garden view), we had good space in the room and in the bathroom also. Hot water in abundance at any time of the day.

The hotel is very beautiful! The staff were very friendly. Best of all, the hotel has a beach perfect for snorkeling. If I had the chance, I would book this hotel again.

So glad I found this place! Next time we come to the area, we’ll skip Patong and come straight here. Ko Racha Yai is less-developed and infinitely less crowded than any place on Phuket Island. For us, that was perfect. When you get to Ban Raya, it feels like you have the whole island to yourself. We liked everything about this place. First, it has outstanding customer service. The staff did everything possible to assure a perfect stay—especially a gent named Marboon. We picked a room near the ocean cove and the big infinity pool, which turned out to be ideal. Our bungalow had a large balcony. The main room was also large, as was the bed, as well as the bathroom. Everything was clean and comfortable. Nice towels and bed sheets, and plenty of soft pillows. There’s great AC, a big TV, a sofa, and plenty of storage space. A large breakfast buffet was included and tasty, with good brewed coffee. The open-air restaurant offered excellent food for lunch and dinner. Ban Raya rents scooters and bicycles, and there’s a market and another restaurant short rides away. My girlfriend loved the on-site spa. Stay here. You’ll be glad you did.

The hotel has obvious advantages and disadvantages. The environment is elegant, and the guests are very polite and quiet. The waiters will take the initiative to say hello and are very enthusiastic. They give a lot of bottled water every day, which is super delicious and sweet. Every day I just stay in a daze, play with water, and kill horses. Chicken. Very comfortable. Disadvantages are: The facilities are relatively old, especially the shower. It feels like you are in a cheap chain hotel. Eat: There are relatively few choices, and the overall price is 3-4 times that of Phuket. This time I came to the sea water There is obviously a fishy smell. If you are bringing children, please note that you need to pay extra for the boat fee and breakfast to go to the island.

I stayed with my friend's family for two days and thought we should stay for three nights. The hotel is very beautiful, and the children had a great time snorkeling and digging in the sand. The next day, we found that the air conditioner in the room was not cooling. The front desk initially contacted us to fix it. Later, they directly changed the room for us and upgraded it to a villa room. When I finally left, my husband found that his wallet was missing. He thought it might have been left in the previous room when he changed rooms. He asked the hotel and said he didn't find it. There were bank cards, passports and some cash in it. Unexpectedly, when I boarded the speedboat on the outlying island, I thought the front desk staff came to tell me that I had found it, and even ran back to get it for us. Thank you so much. I will come to Ban Raya again.
