What guests think
At Railay Phutawan Resort, travelers highlight the stunning hilltop setting with sweeping views, a relaxing pool area, and consistently friendly staff, while noting the uphill walk back from town and some dated bathrooms or small maintenance niggles.
Many appreciate the hourly tuk-tuk shuttle and short walking access to both beaches. Breakfast and on-site dining receive strong praise, though a few mention reduced variety at times. The pool area is a standout, but guests occasionally want more loungers and better towel quality. Overall, expect a peaceful stay with warm service in a scenic hillside location.

Pool is widely praised and the free hourly tuk-tuk shuttle helps with the hill. Some guests wanted more loungers and thicker pool towels, plus a water refill station.

This is a beautiful resort. Our rooms had lovely jungle mountains view. Gardens are gorgeous. Buffet was excellent. Bed was a bit hard but nice clean fresh linen. The pool is incredible with the position and vista from every angle breathtaking. We didn’t enjoy the steepness of the paths and the long walk through dark alleys to get home at night. However the resort did offer to drive us in their tuktuk whenever we wanted. When we arrived at the pier we phoned them and they picked us and our luggage up within minutes

Gorgeous view of water bellow. Excellent breakfast buffet. Staff very pleasant and accomodating. Short walk to main village but it is uphill coming back to the hotel and a bit of work. There is a complimentary shuttle that runs hourly in both directions.

We stayed 2 nights in the entry level room. The room was traditional in design, a good size, great aircon, very comfortable bed and had all the expected amenities, including free water refills each day. The staff were all friendly. We ate in the restaurant one night - good food at a reasonable price, though they struggled to serve the food promptly, which seemed to upset some other diners. Breakfast options were good. Nice pool with great view of the surrounding forest area and huge rock, and it was interesting to watch brave people attempting to climb this. The pool area needs more sun beds though we did get a bed on the lower terrace. Bathrooms could do with an update. The tuktuk was very useful and we used it to get our luggage up and down the hill. The walk down to the shops and beach was ok, past the cave, though the monkeys were best avoided and were happy to take any food off you without asking!

The resort is located in a beautiful spot. It’s quiet and not on the Main Street which was nice. Had a beautiful view and pool. One complaint we had was that the water isn’t safe to drink and they only provided 2 very small water bottles of drinking water per room and it took an act of god it felt like to get more… we have stayed at plenty of resorts where they provide filling stations or unlimited water bottles of water, also we had to pay for water at the pool, no good. Another complaint is that the towels for the pool were very thin and small.

The property was very nice. We were lucky to have a balcony with a view. Some of the rooms did not have a view or a balcony. Pool was nice. It is located at the top of the hill so a bit of a climb. It is easy to walk to beach and to restaurants.

Beautiful resort away from the hustle and bustle of the walking street. The staff were very friendly and always accommodating. The resort is only an 8 min walk from the walking street and 10 mins to east/west beach and 20 mins to Phra Nang Beach. They also offer scheduled tuktuk services towards the beaches for free. The cottage room was quaint, clean and comfortable. The pool view is spectacular, seeing the beach and a rock climbing wall. We decided to extend another day because of how beautiful Railay is and how great this resort was.

We loved this hotel. Surrounded by the karst mountains & jungle with a view of the ocean, what more could you ask for. The cabins, pool, and free breakfast was great. We got to watch monkeys while eating. The service at the pool bar was really good. The loungers were usually full & the ones on the deck in front of the bar need to be replaced. The shuttle back from the beach was hit & miss but it’s not a long walk. I loved Railay and would definitely stay at this hotel again. Can’t beat the price !

Stunning views from the pool and the tuktuk to and from tow was a great benefit for my mom who struggles with mobility. Wish there was somewhere to refill your water bottle instead of always using plastic bottles. Breakfast buffet was by far the best I had in Thailand!

AMAZING, would recommend everyone to stay here. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. The free breakfast is so good, the staff are all so friendly and helpful, the pool is phenomenal. The rooms, walkways, bathrooms are all extremely clean. Very quiet and relaxing. The walk into town takes about 5-10 mins. There is a slight hill that I walked up barefoot with my backpack but there is a free shuttle the resort provides that goes into town and will pick you up from town.

Ein absolut fantastisches Hotel mit unglaublich nettem und hilfsbereitem Personal! Die Lage ist traumhaft – umgeben von Bergen, Palmen und Bananenpflanzen bietet das Resort eine spektakuläre Kulisse. Wir hatten ein schönes Zimmer im Haupthaus, allerdings war das Bad nicht ganz modern, und ein Fenster hatte einen Spalt, durch den Licht und kleine Tiere hereinkamen. Das Resort bietet einen Shuttle-Service an, der einen zuverlässig zur vollen Stunde ins Zentrum bringt und wieder abholt. Super praktisch! Die Kommunikation per WhatsApp war top – alle wichtigen Infos wurden uns direkt geschickt. Das Frühstück war großartig, mit frischen Eierspeisen, verschiedenen Brotsorten, warmen Speisen und viel Obst. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten könnten verbessert werden: Unser Welcome Drink im Zimmer wurde leider einfach weggeschüttet, und es wurden manchmal kleine Handtücher bei der Zimmerreinigung vergessen. Zudem ist das Hotel recht hellhörig. Trotzdem ein wundervoller Ort, den wir jederzeit wieder besuchen würden! Tipps: • Restaurants: Besonders empfehlenswert ist das Mangrove Restaurant im Zentrum – super leckeres Essen, von Pad Thai bis Mango Sticky Rice. • Strände & Ausflüge: Railay West Beach ist morgens perfekt zum Schwimmen, abends gibt es einen tollen Sonnenuntergang. Die Phra Nang Cave sollte man früh besuchen – traumhafte Kulisse!

Tolle Unterkunft die etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Das Bad hätte etwas sauberer sein können. Tomle Aussicht mit noch tollerem Pool mit Blick auf den Beach. Liegt am Berg daher etwas steiler Anstieg mit Gepäck. Es ein kostenloser Tuktuk Service angeboten. Frühstück war OK. Insgesamt hatten wir einen tollen Aufenthalt von 3 Nächten

Overall disappointing. We sent two emails confirming with the resort that we had a direct pick up booked from Krabi Airport to the resort, organised by them, but when our flight landed we had nobody waiting to pick us up. After calling the resort multiple times from the airport and being stressed and not understanding anything the person on the phone was saying, they finally realised they made a mistake and somebody came to pick us up an hour later. We saw a lady at the airport pay the taxi driver taking us to the pier 300 baht but we were charged 800 baht for this, and also over 700 baht for the long tail boat transfer which is actually normally only 150 baht when you book yourself!! When we finally got to the resort, we asked for a discount considering they forgot to organise a taxi to pick us up and made us wait for an hour, but we still had to pay 1700 baht total!! Such a scam and waste of money. The resort, pool bar and daily breakfast were nice and the staff at the breakfast were lovely. However, our bathroom in our room was pretty disgusting for the price we paid. The shower was yuck and the toilet seat was broken. We also found a cockroach in our room one night. We didn’t get coffee or water refilled like it’s supposed to by room service after the second night. Also, it’s a good 20 minute uphill walk from the beach and restaurant area and the shuttle service isn’t reliable. I would definitely not come here again and would not recommend anyone else to either.

We ate in the restaurant one night - good food at a reasonable price, though they struggled to serve the food promptly, which seemed to upset some other diners. Breakfast options were good. Nice pool with great view of the surrounding forest area and huge rock, and it was interesting to watch brave people attempting to climb this. The pool area needs more sun beds though we did get a bed on the lower terrace. Bathrooms could do with an update. The tuktuk was very useful and we used it to get our luggage up and down the hill. The walk down to the shops and beach was ok, past the cave, though the monkeys were best avoided and were happy to take any food off you without asking!

The property was very nice. We were lucky to have a balcony with a view. Some of the rooms did not have a view or a balcony. Pool was nice. It is located at the top of the hill so a bit of a climb. It is easy to walk to beach and to restaurants.

Beautiful resort away from the hustle and bustle of the walking street. The staff were very friendly and always accommodating. The resort is only an 8 min walk from the walking street and 10 mins to east/west beach and 20 mins to Phra Nang Beach. They also offer scheduled tuktuk services towards the beaches for free. The cottage room was quaint, clean and comfortable. The pool view is spectacular, seeing the beach and a rock climbing wall. We decided to extend another day because of how beautiful Railay is and how great this resort was.

Fint hotell som ligger bra i bergen med fin utsikt. Fri shuttle ner till Railay. God frukostbuffé med många val. Maten var god och inget att anmärka. Hade ett rum med delvis havsutsikt. Rekommenderar. Stora fina rum och balkong.

Beautiful place with amazing views. The transfer from the boat to the hotel is by tractor and trailer and collects you in the sea! Pool area lovely, staff friendly. You’d struggle to swing a cat in the bathroom and breakfast options a bit limited, but would recommend overall.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at the Phutawan hotel in Railay. The location is great, service is always great but we were sad to see they had made some revisions on areas such as breakfast where there were not so many options from the buffet. However we did notice you could order certain things for breakfast off another menu which was nice and overall it is still great. We recommend the French toast and banana pancakes those were delicious. In terms of room the first time we stayed on the main hotel with a balcony and sea view which was amazing pre pandemic, this time we stayed in a deluxe cottage. The cottage was cute, clean comfortable and had its own balcony, the first cottage we were taken to needed a little TLC (such as bathroom window lock broken, front door crack stuffed with tissue I presume this was to stop mosquitos from another guest) so we politely asked to see if we could move to another. The staff were very understanding and took us to look at a few other deluxe cottages which were well maintained and beautiful so we had a wonderful stay with lots of room. Highly rate this hotel as it had everything you need but sad to see they had removed the raised platforms with bean bags which use to be on the viewing platform - we missed those as it added a romantic and bohemian element we hope they bring them back. They also have a free shuttle service down to the walking street too which is great and super useful when you have to bring back packs or suitcases.

Ein absolut fantastisches Hotel mit unglaublich nettem und hilfsbereitem Personal! Die Lage ist traumhaft – umgeben von Bergen, Palmen und Bananenpflanzen bietet das Resort eine spektakuläre Kulisse. Wir hatten ein schönes Zimmer im Haupthaus, allerdings war das Bad nicht ganz modern, und ein Fenster hatte einen Spalt, durch den Licht und kleine Tiere hereinkamen. Das Resort bietet einen Shuttle-Service an, der einen zuverlässig zur vollen Stunde ins Zentrum bringt und wieder abholt. Super praktisch! Die Kommunikation per WhatsApp war top – alle wichtigen Infos wurden uns direkt geschickt. Das Frühstück war großartig, mit frischen Eierspeisen, verschiedenen Brotsorten, warmen Speisen und viel Obst. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten könnten verbessert werden: Unser Welcome Drink im Zimmer wurde leider einfach weggeschüttet, und es wurden manchmal kleine Handtücher bei der Zimmerreinigung vergessen. Zudem ist das Hotel recht hellhörig. Trotzdem ein wundervoller Ort, den wir jederzeit wieder besuchen würden! Tipps: • Restaurants: Besonders empfehlenswert ist das Mangrove Restaurant im Zentrum – super leckeres Essen, von Pad Thai bis Mango Sticky Rice. • Strände & Ausflüge: Railay West Beach ist morgens perfekt zum Schwimmen, abends gibt es einen tollen Sonnenuntergang. Die Phra Nang Cave sollte man früh besuchen – traumhafte Kulisse!

Overall disappointing. We sent two emails confirming with the resort that we had a direct pick up booked from Krabi Airport to the resort, organised by them, but when our flight landed we had nobody waiting to pick us up. After calling the resort multiple times from the airport and being stressed and not understanding anything the person on the phone was saying, they finally realised they made a mistake and somebody came to pick us up an hour later. We saw a lady at the airport pay the taxi driver taking us to the pier 300 baht but we were charged 800 baht for this, and also over 700 baht for the long tail boat transfer which is actually normally only 150 baht when you book yourself!! When we finally got to the resort, we asked for a discount considering they forgot to organise a taxi to pick us up and made us wait for an hour, but we still had to pay 1700 baht total!! Such a scam and waste of money. The resort, pool bar and daily breakfast were nice and the staff at the breakfast were lovely. However, our bathroom in our room was pretty disgusting for the price we paid. The shower was yuck and the toilet seat was broken. We also found a cockroach in our room one night. We didn’t get coffee or water refilled like it’s supposed to by room service after the second night. Also, it’s a good 20 minute uphill walk from the beach and restaurant area and the shuttle service isn’t reliable. I would definitely not come here again and would not recommend anyone else to either.

Location
Scenic hilltop setting away from the walking street, with quiet surroundings and great views. It is a 5–10 minute walk to town and beaches, but the return is uphill and the free hourly tuk-tuk helps.

This is a beautiful resort. Our rooms had lovely jungle mountains view. Gardens are gorgeous. Buffet was excellent. Bed was a bit hard but nice clean fresh linen. The pool is incredible with the position and vista from every angle breathtaking. We didn’t enjoy the steepness of the paths and the long walk through dark alleys to get home at night. However the resort did offer to drive us in their tuktuk whenever we wanted. When we arrived at the pier we phoned them and they picked us and our luggage up within minutes

If you want to stay in the area with the best view of the ocean and a quiet people free area- this is it! The pool alone with its happy hour of drinks 100 bth was incredible! The location is perfectly in-between both beaches with the view of the East beach. It was so easy to walk everywhere in the area.The rock mountain next to the resort is stunning, while providing entertainment as people climb it. The service was wonderfully, we were greeted with a welcome drink and offered complimentary ride to our room. The morning breakfast was always delicious and the staff so kind. I recommend this for any solo, couple, or family. We LOVED our time! My partner and I also went end of October which was perfect weather with not as many tourist crowding the areas. Well done!

AMAZING, would recommend everyone to stay here. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. The free breakfast is so good, the staff are all so friendly and helpful, the pool is phenomenal. The rooms, walkways, bathrooms are all extremely clean. Very quiet and relaxing. The walk into town takes about 5-10 mins. There is a slight hill that I walked up barefoot with my backpack but there is a free shuttle the resort provides that goes into town and will pick you up from town.

We loved this hotel. Surrounded by the karst mountains & jungle with a view of the ocean, what more could you ask for. The cabins, pool, and free breakfast was great. We got to watch monkeys while eating. The service at the pool bar was really good. The loungers were usually full & the ones on the deck in front of the bar need to be replaced. The shuttle back from the beach was hit & miss but it’s not a long walk. I loved Railay and would definitely stay at this hotel again. Can’t beat the price !

Stunning views from the pool and the tuktuk to and from tow was a great benefit for my mom who struggles with mobility. Wish there was somewhere to refill your water bottle instead of always using plastic bottles. Breakfast buffet was by far the best I had in Thailand!

The cottage was cute, clean comfortable and had its own balcony, the first cottage we were taken to needed a little TLC (such as bathroom window lock broken, front door crack stuffed with tissue I presume this was to stop mosquitos from another guest) so we politely asked to see if we could move to another. The staff were very understanding and took us to look at a few other deluxe cottages which were well maintained and beautiful so we had a wonderful stay with lots of room. Highly rate this hotel as it had everything you need but sad to see they had removed the raised platforms with bean bags which use to be on the viewing platform - we missed those as it added a romantic and bohemian element we hope they bring them back. They also have a free shuttle service down to the walking street too which is great and super useful when you have to bring back packs or suitcases.

This place is paradise. There’s no better view in Railay than from poolside at Phutawan. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The drinks are amazing. Best resort on the island, will stay anytime I’m in Railay!

First off, the pool is absolutely amazing! Well worth the stage just because of the beautiful pool overlooking a giant, beautiful cliff and ocean view. Drinking watermelon shakes and fresh coconuts, cooling up by the pool, looking at the view was something I will not forget. It is on a hill, but a good way to get your exercise in every day, and still close to everything. I highly recommend! Oh, and breakfast was vast and delicious as well.

This hotel is magical. It’s small and spectacular, with the nicest staff and everyone was so welcoming. We loved our stay so much and I would highly recommend. The room was gorgeous, pool was amazing. Location is perfect- peaceful and beautiful. We loved the cliffs. We watched bats leave the caves at desk and rock climbers. The food was delicious. Lots of little extra touches in the room. I would 1000% go back.
