Description
Railay Great View Resort is a 3-star property located on a hillside surrounded by lush jungle at Railay Beach, Thailand. It offers a wide variety of room types including bungalows, cottages, and deluxe rooms with options ranging from partial sea views to water views, catering to different preferences. Guests can enjoy amenities such as air conditioning, a swimming pool overlooking the sea, a spa and wellness centre, and a private beach area. The resort features a restaurant and bar, providing buffet breakfast with diverse choices. While the resort is praised for its spacious and comfortable rooms and attentive staff, note that it sits on a steep hill requiring guests to navigate slopes and stairs. The location offers tranquility away from busy town areas, making it suitable for travelers seeking peace and natural surroundings. However, boat engine noise and some issues with insects have been mentioned by guests.
Location
The resort is located in Moo 2 Tambol Ao Nang, 588, on Railay Beach, Thailand, just 40 meters from Hat Railay East beach. It lies approximately 16 km from Krabi Airport (KBV). Nearby dining options include Tew Lay Bar at 198 meters, rated 8/10, and East Railay Beach Restaurant at 242 meters. The resort is positioned at the far end of the bay, which provides a more secluded atmosphere but requires a 15-minute walk from the pier and up to 25 minutes to the main Railay beach. There is a private taxi boat service available from Ao Nam Mao pier for 100 THB per person, which facilitates transport. The terrain around the resort includes steep pathways leading to the rooms, so be prepared for uphill walks.
Tips
- If you are sensitive to noise, bring earplugs as longtail boat engines can be loud day and night.
- Prepare for physical activity since the resort is on a steep hill with many stairs; pack light to ease the uphill walk.
- Use the hotel’s private taxi boat service to avoid carrying luggage over unpaved paths from the pier.

Reviews
Small disclaimer:
If you're looking for a more lively, party vibe, I wouldn't recommend you stay here as you are further from the walking street. But if you're looking for beautiful nature-filled views, this is your place!
The noise level was the main problem. The longboat engines were constant, day and night, clearly audible both inside and outside the room. The air conditioning unit was equally loud. Even with noise-cancelling headphones, the sound was still noticeable, making it difficult to rest properly.
The structure of the room also contributed to discomfort. The construction is such that when a travel companion walked inside the room, vibrations were clearly felt. It reduced the sense of privacy and calm.
Breakfast was disappointing. Although there were options available, the food was poorly prepared. I ended up eating mainly fruit, as the cooked items were not satisfactory.
Another concern was the pool area. Despite being part of the hotel premises, it appeared open and accessible, with people from outside walking in and using it freely. This reduced the feeling of exclusivity and security expected from a hotel facility.
The rooms are large and quiet.
We had a visit by a monkey in the middle of the night trying to get in but otherwise all good 😊 Surrounds are lush exotic plumage.
Great pool area. There is a track just past the pool area that leads to a shack bar, great for a bottle of Chang and sunsets.
Only one restaurant at the resort which I can’t recommend as didn’t enjoy anything there. Breakfast was grim and unappetising.
Getting to and from resort is either by longboat or walking the track to East Railay.
There is a small beach but low tide is an issue, we didn’t venture there at all.
If it’s solitude you’re after, and you have the energy to climb to your room then this is the place for you!
The only minor drawback is the noise from the boats at night, but the earplugs provided by the hotel do help with that.
But be advised, its very far(the farthest possible) from the main beaches, so be prepared for a hike whenever you would like to go out to your resort. The hike is quite scenic so that does make it a tiny bit better. During our stay the weather was good which made this hike enjoyable, but in hot weather it could be miserable.
The breakfast is nice and the view from the resturant is amazing, although in-room dining is alright.
