The beauty of the location is undeniable but considering the price of the Racha we expected more. This was our second hotel on our honeymoon and we stayed in a grand deluxe room.

This is my second visit, the beach has got a little more busier since the last visit in 2007. Lots of day trippers from Phuket. So it doesn't quite have the feel of the secluded paradise island it once had. However that still does not distract from the fact that this resort is perfect in so many ways. the rooms... More

Our initial pleasant greet and check in at the Racha lounge in Phuket was very much soured by an Asian couples child who they ignored and allowed to yell, run around, eat copious lollies and disrupt all other guests in the lounge. It was appalling parenting which was not the fault of the Racha staff but they should have said... More
