About the hotel: Dont go to this hotel! very poor hotel, the rooms are old and dirty, far from the center, its take 10 min. walk from the room from the recapation.
About the hotel: Very disappointing! We were surprised to find that the Araya Buri hotel is co-operated with Bay View hotel sharing together the same lobby & reception, pool, etc. The service was terrible! The staff never smiled and kept refusing to whatever we asked. Our reservation was for Araya Grand Deluxe Villa with double bed, yet we got a twin-bed room with a connecting door to another adjacent room, though with no privacy at all. The staff at the reception refused to change the room, false claiming that the hotel is fully booked. There is no possibility to get an outside telephone line at the room. When we asked to make a local toll free call at the reception, they lied at our faces saying that the line is dead. On other occasion they even refused to just send a postcard for us. They also refused to check the possibility for a little late check-out we asked for, even though they knew that the only ferry to our next destination arrives in the afternoon. The hotel is located quite far from the island center with no paved way. As a result, one cannot avoid bringing sand and dirt into the room. We will definitely never return to Araya Buri hotel.
Keep away from this hotel, if you don’t want to spoil your vacation!
About the reservation service: Reservation staff should have told us that the Araya Buri hotel is co-operated with Bay View hotel.
About the hotel: The hotel itself was fine however I had a bad experience with the transfer to Railay Beach because the hotel booked us onto a service that went via Krabi rather than direct to where I wanted to go. The journey was a disaster, took over three hours (normally 1.5 hrs), took us to an agenicy who tried to sell us accomodation that we did not need, and I finally had to pay the last part of the journey myself. This experience ruined what would otherwise have been a nice stay at this hotel.
About the reservation service: Booking service was efficient and helpful
About the hotel: A bit expensive for a mid range resort but still had a great time. Comfortable room with nice view of the sea. I think management are trying hard but they are let down by their junior staff. We had dirty plates left outside our door for 2 days. Would prpbably look at other options before returning to Araya Buri.
About the hotel: Very friendly staff, especially at massage place on the beach! very nice bungalow, could be cleaner though... Nice beach, close to Tonsai but without all the noise and people, good restaurant, though full for breakfast, not big enough! Have to walk quite a lot and upwards to reach the bungalow. Nice to walk around, one beach after the other(opposite side of Tonsai, towards longbeach). Monkey Beach and Maya Beach very close. Surely recommendable hotel.
About the hotel: When you ve just arrived it seems a long walk to the hotel (we arrived in the afternoon, low water, so the bags went with the boat) After a day or two, we discovered that the island is actually very small, so everything is very near, just 15 min. walk.
Good hotel, very nice, friendly personel! We gave for every bag 30 bath for bringing them to the chalet, as our room was located at the end of the resort. The hills to the rooms was very steep.
We re glad that our hotel is at the end of the center of PhiPhi, as the music of all bars and restaurants are very loud.
About the reservation service: Booking went smooootly!!
About the hotel: Enjoyed our stay at Arayaburi. Room spacious with good balcony but not much view as we were right by forest at top of resort. Had a long walk each time from restaurant and beach, not for the idle, and quite tired by the time we reached our room, but at least we felt fitter by the time we left. Didn t eat in restaurant at night as it was quite expensive and quiet, so went into village and ate cheaply there. Had good breakfasts though. Couldn t fault it, and was worried after reading reviews on trip adviser, We are ladies in our 50 s but loved Phi Phi and would stay at Arayaburi again but would request a room lower down with less of a hike to our room.
About the reservation service: Efficient no problems would use again.
