The hotel is absolutely stunning with a beautiful beach and spacious rooms. The staff is friendly and the dining experience is good, though there could be more variety in the menu. Some aspects of the property show signs of wear, and there are some challenges with the outdoor areas due to crowds during the day. Overall, it is a lovely spot for a relaxing getaway.

The Racha island is undeniably beautiful with stunning landscapes and comfortable villas. However, our experience was marred by chaotic check-in, long wait times, and overpriced dining options. While the location is like a slice of paradise, there's a clear need for improvement in customer service and food quality.

We had an amazing stay at The Racha Resort! The service from the staff was exceptional, making us feel welcome right from the moment we arrived at the lounge. The location is stunning, with beautiful beaches and vibrant marine life. The rooms were spacious, and having a private pool was a luxury. The dining experience had its ups and downs; while breakfast was fantastic, the service at one of the restaurants fell short. Overall, a beautiful place for a family getaway with some areas for improvement.
