About the hotel:
A true masterpiece - a resort incorporated inthe rainforest. Ao Sane beach restaurant (250m) is better and a lot cheeper than the hotel restaurant. Doubtful beach.
About the reservation service:
As always - no problem.

Period of the stay : Dec 28, 2009
About the hotel:
Here comes my warm recommendations and one warning to anyone going here for diving. First to all positives: This destination is a little paradise for anyone who wants some time away from a hectic life, or wants snorkeling and diving. The hotel provides you with a great service to an affordable price. Room quality is good value as long as you don t mind a very basic bathroom. The pool is beautiful and clean. Food is very good although there are many options for eating on the island. 4 beaches are reached within a walking distance offering a variety of options from privacy and beautiful snorkeling to white sand and sunbeds. The only big disappointment was the diving company associated to Ban Raya. It s run by sloppy finnish and british staff, not enough focused on normal diving praxis such as safety and providing good service and gear that works. I wasn t provided a depth meter. My intructor/buddy was aware of this and he didn t pay attention just jumped in and decended quickly without calibrating my experience. It resulted in me not being able to decend/ascend in a good way and I got my eardrum destroyed for many days. The great news is that there is a diving company that is run by Thai people and connected to the other hotel (The Racha). I used them as well. They have experienced divemasters, much better service (friendly and professional), gear and safety to the same price!!
About the reservation service:
Beside a fast and reliable service, the most impressive was the conversion into my local currency to an exchange rate that was much better than the one my credit card provides. Great Job!

About the hotel:
great, we stayed 4 nights here ( 21 to 24 Dec), it is amazing, the two beaches inside/near this hotel are the best for snorkeling ( we tried all beaches in Racha), staff are very nice, food & garden is great, a bit expensive in peak season, 7800B, we stay in Pavillon, but the best value room should be the delx one. Reminder! they charge 3% commisson on any payment from credit cards, so ensure you brought enough cash
About the reservation service:

About the hotel:
The hotel where on the other side of the island. With private beach, that was better to snorkling than to swim and play. To come to a better beach U have to walk for about 15 minutes. Its a wonderful walk. Where U can see lizards and bullocks. The sand is white and the water is cristal clear. Its alot of fish in the water.

Very easy to book on sawadee

About the hotel:
Wonderful location. Koh Raya is still unspoiled. The hotel beach is 10 meters from a beautiful coral reef, we snorkeled at least twice a day, for hours and hours. The whole island is lovely, visit Leh Bay for another great reef, Siam bay for a wonderful white beach. The hotel grounds are serene, the service ok, the rooms are not top notch but that is not why we went there. 100% satisfied!
About the reservation service:
Worked flawlessly.
