Ko Racha Yai Vacations from NT$14,922

It was near the airport and we didn’t hear any planes flying by, very quiet. We also saw the resort while on our plan taking-off. Outside the resort seemed to be a lot of restaurant but we didn’t spend enough time to walk around to enjoy them. While I was there the water park was closed. The front desk said they should be open in October and it actually looked fun, as a 39 year old I would go. Breakfast was delicious, staff was wonderful, resort was clean, they had a shuttle running continuously, I actually enjoyed my stay. Well done Splash Beach resort, well done!

Amazing stay at Arinara. The hotel is great, the layout is perfect in the horse shoe shape with the pools in the middle. A beach bar next to the first pool and bar/restaurant further down leading to the beach. The private pools for your room are great I would recommend getting an outside room as your pool will be completely private great for late night dips. The food at the restaurant is honestly 10/10. You can walk straight out onto the beach from the hotel then walk down left or right to various bars and restaurants. I recommend Nomad for the fire show and also the food is amazing. In terms of convenience you have everything you need on the street at the front of the hotel including more restaurants, massage parlours, desks for buying trips, convenience stores, bars. It offers a quiet village feel with cars and bikes rolling past slowly. Honestly can’t recommend this hotel enough and we’re quite fussy and we’re sure what to expect. For trips further afield the taxis are extremely cheap you almost feel bad for the drivers. Just download “Grab” to easily book taxis to your location it gives you the price upfront. You can get anywhere in Phuket for £5-10. Thank you Arinara🙏

Property staff was amazing. They were very friendly, hospitable, accommodating, helpful and welcoming. Property is on a mountain that has spectacular views of the ocean. Food and drinks at this property was amazing. Food was cooked well, delicious and tasty. Drinks were made well. Great food and drink presentation by staff.

It’s so lovely for couples

Too close to the airport, not close enough to anything else. Hour taxi ride to get to Patong, Elephant sanctuary or anywhere else worth visiting on the island. Accommodation (2 Bdrm pool villa) was ok, breakfast was below average and resort dining options were limited. Would not stay again.
