Stayed with gf in April 2012. This hotel is not cheap, but worth every single dollar. Stunning beach/bay area. Fills up with day tourists between 11am-3pm, bay gets full of boats, but that's the time you should avoid direct sunshine (and the beach) anyways. Theres only a few bungalows, another small resort and a horse-riding ranch on the island, not... More

We stayed here a little over a year ago for our honeymoon, in the low season. Our Grand Pool suite was huge and exquisite. The service was also excellent in every regard. We stayed here for eight days and found plenty to do - we borrowed bikes and enjoyed exploring the island and all its little beaches and snorkeling spots.... More

We have travelled a lot and the Racha has something other resorts don't have and that is an amazing manager. Gerrard Tan not only makes it his mission to welcome and speak to every guest but he also went above and beyond to make sure our stay in Thailand was incredible. The Racha is exactly as the web site depicts... More

We've been there for our honeymoon, we started our stay when the limo came to the airport for us. Then the boat took us to the island. All the hotel is very romantic, nice, food at the restaurants is wonderful, the swimming-pool, massages, etc.... More

It was a great vacation at the Racha. I and husband stayed there for 7 nights, the wonderful beach and white sands, nice pool and drinks, the spacious and comfortable room, excellent SPA made our stay so memorable. the downside is the beach a bit too crowded during peak season, at times there were electricity breakdowns.

I enjoyed the Racha experience. We were met by the limo at another hotel and delivered to the check-in area at the port, where we had time to look around. The speedboat trip was comfortable and fun and arrival on the island was seamless. The villa was beautiful, quite minimalist inside, private plunge pool and indoor/outdoor showers. Good entertainment, espresso... More

We stayed for four nights at The Racha, and upon arrival there was a big "WOW!!" as our first impression! HOWEVER - to start.... upon our arrival, it was very disorganised, we were going to have to wait for our room for nearly three hours for it to be ready, but then it did get sorted out unlike other arriving...
