We can back on 27 October 2024 from this hotel and it was incredible. The staff were lovely and so accommodating and the facilities were amazing and the rooms were beyond anything we could imagine. The food - in particular Raitalay Terrace was delicious! The choices they had in particular for vegetarians were so great. Can’t wait to come back again here. Special mention to Oil from guest relations and Salma from the activities centre for answering all our questions and organising excursions.

Tinidee Hideaway Railay honestly felt like the definition of escaping from the world for a few days. The beachfront bungalow was incredible — waking up to that view every morning genuinely never got old. The whole setting is stunning, with jungle behind you and the beach right in front, so it feels peaceful and tucked away from the busier tourist areas. The staff were absolutely lovely throughout our stay; friendly, welcoming and always helpful. The restaurant food was also really good and very...

We stayed as a family of 6 in 3 rooms. 2 teenagers, a couple and 2 grandparents. We had 2 Tropical villa plus rooms and 1 grand deluxe room. The tropical villa plus rooms were detached mini villas with covered outdoor showers making you feel in touch with the tropical surroundings. Of course there are mosquitos so just be sensible and dry off inside. The rooms were charming and not polished but for the price and location it was what we expected and wanted as we felt more in touch with the...

Railay Beach

10/10 Excellent

The location of the hotel was perfect. We could access all beaches easily. The breakfasts were perfect selection and tea/coffee great. Jacuzzi and outdoor shower were perfect for cooling down and relaxing at the end of the day in our private suite. Staff were very helpful and quickly sorted out our hot water and safe problems. It was a shame about the renovations at the beach front-the work and materials could have been screened better and visible arcing from the welding was dangerous....

This hotel was just divine. The grounds to the apartments and rooms are just so beautiful, it really is paradise. The staff were incredible and couldn’t do enough for you. My partner and I are vegan and both restaurants were more than accommodating with ensuring we had choice and variation during our stay. The hotel is well maintained and always spotless. I also had a massage during my stay which was a lovely experience. Would highly recommend this hotel and can’t wait to come back already!
