Overall stay was excellent however there are very limited food options, though the main restaurant is really delicious.. service was really satisfying my little kid suffered from Rota ( most likely not from the hotel as we stayed in phuket before going to The racha) and the nurse was extremely helpful, sweet and provided all medications needed for the condition until we went back to Phuket..

Amazing location and overall vibe of the resort, quiet and relaxing few days. Would recommend to improve the Speed Boat transfer, having no ladder to climb on vs having to use the tyre attached to the dock was surprising along with the food on the menus needs a refreshed approach to make the experience even better.

Very nice. The sunset restaurant on the beach was never open but we soon learnt that it was not part of the hotel. Boat trips were available but as they were expensive they were regularly cancelled on the day of the trip. Internet availability was awful. It was very slow and you had to sign in to each area of the hotel you were in. Each sign in only lasted a day so a bit disappointed really. On site Hotel Spa was very good.

Fantastisk flot bugt og vand med masser af endags

Fantastisk flot bugt og vand, på den modsatte side af øen er der gode snorkling muligheder. Bugten er belastet af en masse dagsturister i tidsrummet fra 10.00-16.00. Maden kunne være bedre, elendigt husorkester. God Spa på hotellet med ok priser for 5 stjernet hotel. Mange kineser der ikke respekterede området med adult pool. Flot udsigt fra hotellet.
