The hotel is set in a beautiful setting but about 1km down a long drive and a 300 Baht taxi ride from town. Service was exceptional - friendly, professional and helpful. The hotel was quite quiet when we stayed which made access to all the facilities easy.

The air conditioning whilst efficient was quite noisy - we turned it off at night - and really needs to be updated.

A Christmas Retreat at Rayong Resort: A Hidden Gem in Thailand Our family of five spent the festive season at the Rayong Resort, staying from Christmas Eve through to New Year’s Eve. The resort, which has been around for some time, is well-maintained by its attentive staff and exudes a charming, colonial-inspired ambiance. Its sprawling layout features a variety of spaces to relax and explore, offering a sense of history and character rarely found in modern establishments. Upon our arrival on Christmas Eve, we were struck by how quiet the resort was—it almost felt as though we had the entire place to ourselves. Nestled beyond a small mountain range, the location feels wonderfully secluded, making the first few days of our stay feel more like a tranquil retreat than a bustling holiday resort. The staff were a highlight throughout, consistently warm and eager to help. They made booking excursions and offering local tips effortless. One of our favorite experiences was a boat trip to the idyllic island of Ko Samet, departing conveniently from the resort’s own pier. Another highlight was the resort’s private-feeling beach, which provided a serene backdrop for relaxation. For nature enthusiasts, we highly recommend a visit to the nearby Khao Laem Samet National Park—a true escape into Thailand’s natural beauty. While the resort had much to offer, we did find the food and beverage prices to be on the higher side. The inconsistency in pricing—such as a pizza costing more at dinner than at lunch—was particularly noticeable. That said, the breakfast buffet was outstanding, with a variety of fresh and delicious options to start the day. For other meals, we often opted to dine at local restaurants, and we’d like to give a special mention to Yummay Pizza, where we enjoyed authentic Italian flavors served by a wonderful team.

Quiet, relaxing hotel resort on a headland at the national park. The hotel is very clean, our premier room was modern, very spacious, bathroom top and an excellent view from the room, with 24h sound of the sea waves and birds. Breakfast was a buffet with fresh fruits, vegetables etc. and all hot dishes could be ordered freshly prepared for you by the kitchen. You can walk (15...20') to the Sunset Point of the National Park, on a beautifully maintained coastal boardwalk and past hordes of wild, peaceful monkey families.

Those who don't want to have dinner at the hotel, can walk over the national park hill (30') to Rayong Beach, where there are simple restaurants and bars. With a little bit patience, you can get a Bolt Taxi back to the resort.

The view from our balcony was amazing. The hotel is a little outdated and you can tell that it’s been around for a long time. Staff were kind and fairly helpful. Location wise, it was a bit far from everything and you need a taxi or car to get around.

The prices of the bar drinks and restaurant were ridiculous. So so expensive for the area and it makes no sense as they would maintain more customers if their restaurant prices weren’t so bad.

What a gem, a tropical dream. Beautiful bathing in the pools and in the ocean. Very picturesque place, and the thai food was super. The staff is so nice and easy to communicate with. Rooms are pretty basic, but the hotel is so much more. Nice walking path along the coast line. Highly recommend this peaceful place. Nothing outside the hotel is at a walking distance. Need a car or GRAB for shops and other restaurants.

I was in paradise. Thank you for sharing your beautiful resort. I had a game of darts. And I won. Not often I win. 🤗 your design is so perfect. I hope all your guests enjoy it as much as I did. I shall return.

The peace. The staff. The quiet grandeur. My balcony. I look forward to my next visit with some friends so I can have a game of snooker 🎱 Has Eddie Charlton played there. I imagined that he had. Thank you again.

The location on it's own beach was fantastic, the views of Koh Samed were beautiful. The restaurants and Bars were welcoming hover very very expensive for the quality and choice of food. We discovered better places to eat and drink only a short drive from the hotel. The rooms were very nice, simple and older in style, but clean and the staff were very helpful.

The Restaurants and bars were very pricey for the area. The property advertised a spa and when we tried to book we were told that it had closed down.

Charming old hotel in scenic location overlooking the ocean and Koh Samet and beside national park. Peaceful and tranquil, felt like we had the place to ourselves. Staff were friendly and helpful bringing our bags to/from our car. Our room was perfectly fine and the meals we had at the restaurant were all good. Look forward to returning another time

Nice big hotel right on the coast line with a beautiful view from our room spacious room with comfortable beds . The staff are very friendly and helpful . Breakfast buffet very good

We didn't like the noisy toilets and the fact the bathroom door didn't go all the way to the floor.the air conditioning unit was dripping water .the beach was really nice but ruined by the amount of litter left everywhere

Staff very very friendly and helpful although we stayed midweek was very quiet might be busier on the weekends.Excellent location with sea views all around little Beach was a bit dirty but the water was clear.Breakfast was ok and the pools were fantastic little one for the kids and the big one with a 3m depth goid for diving.

Hotel getting run down though in parts ,has potential to be a upmarket hotel maybe there still struggling from covid but would definitely stay again if we ever go back that way.
