Rawai Palm Beach Resort

Rawai Palm beach resort is the perfect stay for families. We ended up here after our planned accomodation was unsuitable. The staff welcomed us like we were family and the resort was amazing! Staff go the extra mile to be welcoming, helpful and very kind! The rooms are super comfortable and clean. The buffet breakfast has something for everyone in the family to enjoy and the facilities are so much fun, located less than 5minutes walk from the beach too! I highly recommend staying here!

8 night stay following a hectic 5 nights in Patong 😀. Our room was huge, 1st floor deluxe pool view - no complaints apart from the cleaner kept removing the key card from the air conditioning and we line it kept on 🥶. We found the location really good, 5 mins walk to a huge 7/11, a good mix of massage places, restaurants, bars and cafes a few minutes away. We found a fab spot literally across the road behind the Well cafe where there is a strip of restaurants where you sit at the side of the sea (some also had inside seating) - all places we tried were excellent and a good mix of expats, locals and people on holiday eating there. The beach at Rawai isn’t for sunbathing but the hotel provides a free shuttle to 2 beaches - we visited both and enjoyed those days, the sea is like a bath, each had places to eat and shop but both very busy, we walked back from Na Yui beach as decided to stay longer as the snorkelling was so good (unfortunately the shuttle returns at 2pm with no later option) the walk back took 15 minutes - passed some fab local bars / restaurants on the way. We hired a longboat from Jonnys boats to Coconut Island for the day (took 15 minutes to get there) which was fab (2,000 BHT). Loved the hotel swimming pool, so relaxing and a huge area to swim and cool down. We were B&B and found the breakfast good but a little repetitive and the fruit selection was basic compared to our last hotel but a good mix of everything inc cereals, yoghurts and egg station, we mainly ate from the Thai section. Negatives were people saving sun-beds and nobody checking this / removing towels, we always managed to get one but not always in the sun which disappears from the pool area around 5.30pm - frustrating when sun-beds in the sun are reserved but not used for hours. Also not enough staff to clear glasses during the day. There wasn’t anywhere to sit and enjoy a drink outside in the evening as the pool bar closed early so the only option was the inside bar at the side which was also a restaurant - we didn’t use this though as it didn’t appeal. On checkout at 5am the receptionist (only 1 on duty) insisted on getting our room and mini bar checked so the security deposit could be released - this meant we were held up by 25 minutes with our airport taxi waiting, we had paid the bill the previous evening to avoid this. I would definitely stay here again though if we return to Rawai just to experience the huge room again!

Fantastic hotel arranged by tui for us. Nitta and her staff cannot do enough for the guests. Breakfast is adequate and the rooms are exceptionally clean and tidy with room staff constantly working around the hotel. All excursions can be organised from reception as can taxi trips. Pool bar prices for food and drink are reasonable to cheap and the monday buffet is fantastic. Cant say enough great things about this hotel ( the hatman of ingleby)
