Vast resort spanning both sides of the Railay peninsula. Lush tropical garden dotted with dozens (perhaps hundreds) of villas steeped in seemingly never-ending jungle and surrounded by steep limestone cliffs. Three different beaches at opposing ends of the resort. Huge warm infinity pool near Railay side of resort. Excellent breakfast buffet. Wonderful, accommodating staff with good English command at all levels. Elegant speed boat for transfers from and to the Krabi airport. The resort is not cheap, but arguably worth the price because of its stunning location on scenic, slightly hard-to-reach beach, incredible swimming pool and high level of service. The very walkable beach is breathtaking in its beauty in early morning hours before first long-tail boats start arriving with loads of day trippers from “mainland”.
Design of villas seems rustic, a bit dated and forest lodge-type, rather than modern age and reflective of the price. Our pavilion villa was clean and functional, but a bit small (on two levels), dark and cluttered with heavy wooden and wicker items. Food prices on premises astronomical, but admittedly not mandatory, as there are many reasonable local dining options within five minutes from the resort. Beaches around the resort are not private - expect crowds. Overall a great place but slightly overpriced
