Rawai resorter

Plus: Fantastic setting and pool. Very friendly staff. Great free shuttle to the beaches. Comfy, clean and large rooms.

Minus: Was a slight walk from town, however, they do provide shuttle buses so not an issue.

Plus: Fabulous pool, amazing restaurant. Best food we had in Thailand. Breakfast was superb. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Minus: No lift to 2nd floor, but not really a problem, as staff carried the suitcases up.

Plus: The hotel was just the right size. All staff were so friendly and helpful. It was very clean. The pool was spotless. All in all a fab place to stay. He free shuttle to the beaches restaurants and other sight seeing spots was a bonus. Thanks for a great stay.

Plus: I liked the location of the hotel as it was within walking distance of the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful , and allowed me to leave my luggage while waiting for my pick up which was after check out time. A beautiful pool and surrounding area.

Minus: A little close to a busy road and noisy with traffic at times

Plus: Nice clean room, spacious and well equipped. The bathroom has both a walk in shower and a bathtub. The staff is really helpful and provides you with all the necessary beach equipments, including towels and umbrella.

Minus: Food was average.

Plus: We loved our stay here! The pool area is just amazing. We were torn between fantastic snorkelling at local beaches and the lovely pool! It felt like the team had listened to every bit of feedback and used it to ensure that the experience for the next guest was spot on. The front desk team were friendly and welcoming. The shuttles to one beach was available on demand and another beach, at certain times (although you can pay outside of these times too). The room was comfortable with a nice bed. We met another guest who had checked out and come back because they did not like their next accommodation and you can see why - it is a lovely, relaxing, well thought out hotel at a very reasonable price. One of our favourite stays during our 5 week stay in Thailand.

Minus: The walk into town was not the most delightful, however, the hotel offers a free shuttle so this is a slightly pedantic point really!

Plus: Fint område. Bra poolområde. Trevlig personal. Supertrevlig personal

Minus: Ligger lite utanför vilket gör att det tar ca 10 min att gå till stranden. Inte så mycket affärer i närheten för den som vill shoppa

Plus: Nice, small hotel. Good breakfast!

Plus: Frukosten var super och personalen visade alltid ett leende och poolen var fantastisk Städningen var vi nöjda med både vad det gäller rum och trädgård

Minus: Tycker nog att man kan byta ut cyklarna, var lite trafik farliga och gymmet kunde man oxå rusta upp en aning.

Plus: Navatara Hotel is perfect in every way. Wonderful staff, spacious and very clean rooms ,shady well tended gardens and pool. Free shuttles are provided to local beaches, and Promthep Cape . The food at the restaurant is really tasty, with so many choices! I loved the breakfasts.The location is excellent too. Thank you Rita,Milk ,Wee and Tai for all your help. You are the friendliest, and most professional reception staff I have ever met.

Plus: Boendet är fantastiskt. Personalen är nog det bästa vi har haft någonsin. Man blir bara så positiv till allt. Frukosten är god och variabel varje dag så inget blir tråkigt. Trots avstånd till faciliteter så har dom en shuttel som tar dig till stränderna och vissa sevärdheter gratis.

Minus: Finns inget att ogilla

Plus: Stuff was very friendly and the hotel atmosphere was really nice and cozy. Very good breakfast! Room was big and clean.

Minus: Nothing

Plus: Vi har rest världen i några år och det var en av våra favoritplatser. Personalen var supervänlig och hjälpsam, maten på restruaranten var ganska bra och rummen var mycket trevliga. WiFi fungerade snabbt och det var bara 1000 baht till flygplatsen. Kommer definitivt tillbaka!

Minus: Ingenting. Älskad!

Plus: Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Suverän frukost. Mindre nöjd med utsikten från rummet - en trappuppgång??!! Dåligt med restauranger på gångavstånd.

Minus: Ett femstjärnigt hotell borde kunna erbjuda rum med någon sorts utsikt?! Avsaknaden av strand också et stort problem.

Plus: We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite with seaview and it was wonderful. The room was very spacious (190m2!), clean and the beds were good. Can recommend this hotel to anyone.

Minus: Everything was just amazing.

Plus: We stayed in the H2O suite. Fabulous Recommend this suite to any couple looking for a getaway.

Minus: All was good

Plus: Nothing

Minus: This property is listed as beachfront, or there is no beach, and 1 meter of dirty sand is not a beach but a cat litter. It is located on a very busy road, so if you plan on walking to go to restaurants, bars and so, well don't ! We originally booked for 3 nights but left 30 minutes after we arrived when we saw all the disappointment of this hotel (and we were not the only one that day to leave out of disappointment). The bungalows or should I say the shoe box, is a joke. Tiny and dirty !

Plus: very good breakfast and nice pool area

Plus: Nice sea view

Minus: Nothing

Plus: The view from the 4th room after changing 4 times in 4 days. 1-2 star hotel

Minus: Cockroaches, flies and a swarm of mosquitoes  Room not advertised as container  Extremely small bathroom where my wife of 1.56m could hardly turn around Air conditioning could only be set to freezing or hot  After room change the next morning two roads of ants straight through the room  Extremely cheap and worn furniture  No service at breakfast, had to get coffee/tea everything yourself.  No privacy as the room has no curtains, only sun rollers which you can only draw down completely to have other people not see the complete room AND bed. Out of five rooms which were shown, four clearly smelled of mold, something frequently mentioned in other reviews. The last room we where shown had just been sprayed with a deo spray to hide the, again obvious smell of mold. We were told that this is because of the tropical climate. We have lived in Asia for over 25 years. This is NOTHING to do with the climate but the lack of aircon cleaning, which because of the liquid in the aircon gathering and then starting to mold because of the humidity. Clear sign of lack of cleaning, which is a clear health hazard.

Plus: Priset var rimligt och personalen var vänlig.

Minus: Läget är inte nära nattlivet eller pirerna, stränderna ... man måste ta transfer/taxi till praktiskt taget vad som helst. Hotellet behöver lite uppdatering.

Plus: Breakfast was very good, location is stunning and the staff are excellent without being overly formal. The villa was comfortable, cool and the layout was well considered. The villas all feel very private, nestled into the hillside amongst lots of greenery. The entire place feels very relaxed. The Thai Restaurant was weirdly quiet considering the food was so good, but that meant the service was amazing and it made it feel even more special. It has some aspects of a 5 star resort, but is really more like a high end 4 star. That isn't a criticism, if anything I think really trying to push the high-end elements further would make it lose some of its charm.

Minus: As with many 4/5 star resorts, water ends up being an expensive extra. A couple of small plastics bottles of water were put in the room each day for free, but in 34 degree heat, that isn't enough. They warn you not to drink the tap water, but dont really offer an easy alternative around the pool area other than small plastic bottles, priced at around 5x the going rate, or larger 1.5 litre Evian bottles, which are priced at more like 10x the going rate. Neither option is very good either financially or environmentally. Water is no doubt a big source of income for them, but I think this resort, like many others, need to reconsider how they manage and charge for this.

Plus: Good breakfast Friendly staff Private pool

Minus: The beach is not for swimming A lot of mosquitos The hotel needs for renovation

Plus: Serenity, relaxed and totally chilled vibe. Staff couldn’t do enough

Minus: Mosquito!!!!

Plus: The staff and the spa

Minus: Beach besid the hotel not good you have to use a hotel shuttle to go to other beach

Plus: The design was amazing and The place was quiet it’s really good for relaxation

Minus: The room service takes forever and the Villa wasn’t so clean even the pillowcases smelled funny.

Plus: The pool is wonderful, big, clean, deep enough and pleasantly illuminated after sunset.

Minus: For swimming the beach right at the hotel is not perfect but u can kite surf there. The breakfast is very good, just fresh juice would have been appreciated. Juice being presented in these big containers with the ever moving turning tool inside never looks pleasant and the taste of the juice was artificial, which is odd in a location like that. I travelled alone but I got two free 15 minutes hand massage trial coupons (normally for two people staying) and the lobby personnel offered that I could just use it for 30 minute massage (very nice of them). Unfortunately the Spa personnel refused to actually do that, not a nice feeling to be made looking cheap, lack of communication between the staff at this point.

Plus: the outside bathroom was great,the second bathroom was very spacious and with two sinks and it was very convenient.

Minus: room was small,the floor was very very dirty,with some sticky spots on it.Its was full with mosquito.The room service brought the food without knife and I complained and asked to bring me knife cause i can't eat steak and pizza without knife.They said ,ok,coming to you and they never came.The hotel is very narrow,the beach was far from the villa.There were no sea due to the low tide and you can't swim at all.Horrible place.Glad we stayed only one night.

Plus: Nice for families.

Plus: Everything including the services are awesome. I had the opportunity to give food to the monks it was an amazing experience.

Minus: The swimming pool closing too early 7pm

Plus: Anläggningens design var vacker, personalen var mycket hjälpsam och läget var nära stranden och tyst. När vi var tvungna att lämna flygplatsen kl. 14.00, så är de tillåtna att checka ut då utan extra kostnad. Frukosten var mycket bra. Poolen var fantastisk. Om du letar efter en lugn resa med fantastisk service och fantastiska bekvämligheter är Rawai Palm Beach Resort ett måste. Jag kommer definitivt att komma tillbaka.

Minus: Svårt att säga ... väl vårt rum hade begränsade platser att koppla in våra elektroniska produkter. Jag önskar också att de hade en tvättstuga där du kunde göra din tvätt. Ingen havsutsikt, fast läget var mycket nära en strand.

Plus: Very nice big rooms with the possibility for direct pool access. Very friendly personal - helpful in any way. Very large pool and a seperated children-area with a Beach of sand.

Minus: No bar area during the evening - quite fare away from nightlife. Breakfast need an update and pool bar was poor with not many opportunities.

Plus: Great pools. Clean rooms. Staff were excellent.

Minus: Nothing

Plus: No matter what you will for hotel the answer is always No. Terrible Customer or lack of understanding what customer service is

Minus: reception staff , all of them.

Plus: The bed is huge!!!! The room is cleaned each day! It's quite, nobody disturbed us. The reception staff is very nice and all the time smiling. The pool is nice even though we didn't swim in it.

Minus: The hotel is old, so don't expect to see what you expect :) The gym is very very small and the machines are old. So if you plan to train you will need to go to another gym somewhere around the hotel. The breakfast is not very rich but you will have everything is necessary but the people which are cooking the eggs are always unhappy, no smile and each time you ask for an egg they look at you as you owe them something.

Plus: Pool room was great, breakfast good choices hot and cold. Staff friendly and helpful

Minus: No disability access, some key staff had limited English but did their best

Plus: Children pool is exeptional, big pool, service, pool bar etc.

Minus: Location is not perfect. For families with childrens trolley there are no elevator and ramp.

Plus: Fin pool.

Minus: Började kännas slitet.

Plus: The room is in Bungalow style and so it is quiet and very roomy with a terrace outside. It is very comfortable even when one chooses to stay in the room all day. The bed has a very good mattress , it is hard but comfortable. The whole time I was there, I have had no back pain nor headaches which I often experienced on my own mattress at home. The bathroom has a private jacuzzi which we can use daily after swimming. The morning yoga sessions have been very refreshing especially the session at the beach. The swimming pool provides long stretches of water where one can really swim distances. The resort is for those who seek peace and quiet, away from the crowds.

Minus: Guests were asked not to put the toilet paper in the toilet but in a bucket . I guess there could be slight drainage problem. The resort is situated on the hilltop and so one needs to walk out to the main road for local restaurants or convenience shops.

Plus: Everything

Plus: Mangosteen resort is good for those seeking Ayurveda treatment ,They have good facilities and experience staff they know their job very well. not suitable for children.

Minus: Walking from room to the restaurant and reception is climbing hill and steps could be hard for old people .

Plus: Peaceful , quiet , service , spa , the owners so friendly

Minus: Verity of light food in the pool bar

Plus: The breakfast was lovely. The staff were happy to help and warm. I loved the spa and morning yoga.

Plus: Staffs are very lovely. View was great.

Minus: So many bugs and spiders around. I have bitten by bedbugs first 2 days and i have a huge spider, lizards and lots of mosquitos in my room. I couldn't sleep because of fear of all these animals. Terrible experience.. had to changed my room but wasn't really the solution.

Plus: The view was nice, and the swimming pool was usually quiet which was good.

Minus: The staff here speak very little English. Asked for food and drinks from the menu but the staff could barely understand. Asked for a taxi late at night , the reception said this is not possible. So we had to phone a taxi and book it ourselves with no problem. Staff not so friendly. I don't know why this is considered a 4 star hotel. Also the hills are so steep anyone with mobility issues would struggle here. Mini bar empty. Asked for 2 single beds , got one double bed. Staff shouting at 8 in the morning, constant banging of construction work through the day.

Plus: The views at this hotel are amazing. It's more inland so it's usually quiet. The hotel staff doesnt speak very good English but they seem to really be trying & willing to serve you. The rooms are decorated in a modern style and seem to be in pretty good condition. There's a rain shower with hot water and mini fridge. We stayed in their cheapest room and it was fine not having a bathtub or jacuzzi in there. There's a/c in all the rooms, and a restaurant with good tasting food. They have laundry service and room service. We were there in October and at one point, I swear we were the only guests there. AKA Gym is just down the hill (you can walk) and they have good classes and a nice little cafe. You definitely need a motorbike to get around in Thailand (& you can rent or buy). I most likely would stay at this hotel again. It's a decent price and it was pretty clean. I don't recommend for people that have a hard time walking.

Minus: To get to the lobby is a hike and to get to the room is even more of a hike. Originally we were in 706 and it was 81 steep stairs to get there. Room 306 is only 45 steep stairs but still sucks going through all that multiple times a day. There is no elevator. When we first arrived there was no plumbing for 2 days. Wifi was shoddy in the room most of the time, and that was the reason they moved us to 306 (didn't work at all in the higher room). The beds are really hard. They are also just two beds pushed together on a platform. They give you clean towels every day but never change your sheets. Most linens have some sort of stain on them. There were ants in the bed inspite of no food. It seemed like there was something not working in every room. 706 was the wifi and 306 was the rain shower & the toilet barely flushed. Unless, you absolutely need a bathtub I wouldn't do one of the upgrades. And the restaurant is quite pricey compared to the little thai places off the main road; they get you with vat and service fees. My biggest complaints are: the steep stairs, hard beds, bad wifi, and ants.

Plus: The large room and the view

Minus: The ants, the power going off, the water going off, the people above us kept scraping rhe chairs accross the floor

Plus: The property was beautiful and the view from the room was amazing.

Minus: The hotel location is far from the beach and the markets, and restaurants if you’re walking. The hotel does offer shuttles twice a day to two beaches

Plus: Amazing (unbeatable) views from the room and swimming pool. A unique location 20-30 min drive from Phuket old town. Close to Rawai beach, but still far enough for all the masa of tourists. You feel you are in the jungle, and still close to civilisation. Very quite; you hear only birds, insects and there are lots of beautiful butterflies. Incredible beautiful and clean infinity swimming pool. Property’ s gardens and surroundings well kept: very neat and clean. There are several people working for that every day. The room is well cleaned every single day , you get fresh towels as well. Every 2-3 days new bed sheets. Not all stuff speaks well English, but some do. Nevertheless they all assisted us with all our needs. When something went wrong ( door couldn’t be locked, not good signal for TV channels, they fixed the problems in minutes). Very kind and helpful stuff, mostly Khun Tom. Such a nice person who speaks English well. ( Food and drinks manager). Also the reception man very kind and helpful)

Minus: You need a motorbike or car to reach there. But any taxi will do the trip for you as well. Room a bit outdated: many aunts some even in bed( but you are almost in the jungle- so it’s understandable- could be better isolated though). Internet quite poor. You need to stand close to the balcony window to get fully connected. At the lobby and restaurant good connection. Some cracks in the wall, mostly in the bathroom. Breakfast quite poor and the same every day ( unless the hotel have more than 15 guests- then they serve a very good buffet with quite of choices). For those with mobility problems a bit challenging as you need to go up the mountain to get to your room. But the stuff is very helpful and they always offer to bring you up with their little car from the reception. No airport transfer.

Plus: Very nice view room was great staff were friendly

Minus: Tried to buy a jack Daniels and coke from the bar one day, the woman on the bar spoke no english at all she had to take photos of the bottle and send it to someone then ring them to figure out what i wanted it was very stressful and i was over charged, then when checking out after a 3 night stay i was hit with a bill for 220baht for water what they had put in our fridge this was ridiculous we have not been charged for water in any hotel ever. Apparently theres a spa there we never saw it.

Plus: The staff

Minus: No wifi, bugs and no airport transfers

Plus: i loved the view of the mountaines and the city was nice exprience to see it in the morning

Minus: all sort of small insects are there it feel like they invaded the place and in the night u can find it in the room.. staff don't speak english and it feels like whenever you ask for something it's a hard thing to do.

Plus: The pools were really nice, exceptional view!! And a clean comfortable room

Minus: It was eerily quiet, barely saw another guest in the resort so therefore the vibe was a bit low. Would’ve been great if there was more people staying so that the pool bar could be staffed and massage facilities. But everything was run down or not staffed due to no people staying there. It was just really eerie.

Plus: Good location, well situated on the hill between Chalong Bay and Kata beach. Great ocean view of Chalong bay if you get accommodation on the upper hill section of the resort. Decent facilities with a couple of nice pool areas, which were hardly used whilst I was there during high season.

Minus: The pictures online do NOT accurately reflect the property condition or room interiors so be prepared to find minimal furnishings. This resort has potential and could be great with a little renovation and maintenance in keys areas. Front of house staff were nice but poorly trained, in general this resort appears poorly managed and operating on a budget that undermines its obvious potential.

Plus: Very convenient, well maintained location, with consistently helpful staff, which heightened our Phuket experience. Beds were immensely comfortable, which helped to recover from any of our daily activities. Bathroom was amazing especially as a couple to use, which made getting ready in the morning quick. Beautiful birds including bird of paradise and eagles soared across our balacony. Walking through the property was delightful as the property is filled with amazing flora. The view and value cannot be beaten within the area.

Plus: Great view, clean property, value for money, free shuttles to the nearby beach.

Minus: Staff could be more hospitable.
