Araya Buri Resort, Phi Phi Island, Laem Hin
Very disappointing! We were surprised to find that the Araya Buri
hotel is co-operated with Bay View hotel sharing together the same
lobby & reception, pool, etc. The service was terrible! The staff
never smiled and kept refusing to whatever we asked. Our reservation
was for Araya Grand Deluxe Villa with double bed, yet we got a twin-bed
room with a connecting door to another adjacent room, though with
no privacy at all. The staff at the reception refused to change the
room, false claiming that the hotel is fully booked. There is no possibility
to get an outside telephone line at the room. When we asked to make
a local toll free call at the reception, they lied at our faces saying
that the line is dead. On other occasion they even refused to just
send a postcard for us. They also refused to check the possibility
for a little late check-out we asked for, even though they knew that
the only ferry to our next destination arrives in the afternoon. The
hotel is located quite far from the island center with no paved way.
As a result, one cannot avoid bringing sand and dirt into the room.
We will definitely never return to Araya Buri hotel. Keep away from
this hotel, if you don't want to spoil your vacation!

The hotel itself was fine however I had a bad experience with the
transfer to Railay Beach because the hotel booked us onto a service
that went via Krabi rather than direct to where I wanted to go. The
journey was a disaster, took over three hours (normally 1.5 hrs),
took us to an agenicy who tried to sell us accomodation that we did
not need, and I finally had to pay the last part of the journey myself.
This experience ruined what would otherwise have been a nice stay
at this hotel.

Clean hotel, good view, still close enough to Tourist Village (i.e.,
town ) to walk there - Very friendly staff

A bit expensive for a mid range resort but still had a great time.
Comfortable room with nice view of the sea. I think management are
trying hard but they are let down by their junior staff. We had dirty
plates left outside our door for 2 days. Would prpbably look at other
options before returning to Araya Buri.

Very friendly staff, especially at massage place on the beach! very
nice bungalow, could be cleaner though... Nice beach, close to Tonsai
but without all the noise and people, good restaurant, though full
for breakfast, not big enough! Have to walk quite a lot and upwards
to reach the bungalow. Nice to walk around, one beach after the other(opposite
side of Tonsai, towards longbeach). Monkey Beach and Maya Beach very
close. Surely recommendable hotel.

When you ve just arrived it seems a long walk to the hotel (we arrived
in the afternoon, low water, so the bags went with the boat) After
a day or two, we discovered that the island is actually very small,
so everything is very near, just 15 min. walk. Good hotel, very nice,
friendly personel! We gave for every bag 30 bath for bringing them
to the chalet, as our room was located at the end of the resort. The
hills to the rooms was very steep. We re glad that our hotel is at
the end of the center of PhiPhi, as the music of all bars and restaurants
are very loud.

Enjoyed our stay at Arayaburi. Room spacious with good balcony but
not much view as we were right by forest at top of resort. Had a long
walk each time from restaurant and beach, not for the idle, and quite
tired by the time we reached our room, but at least we felt fitter
by the time we left. Didn t eat in restaurant at night as it was quite
expensive and quiet, so went into village and ate cheaply there. Had
good breakfasts though. Couldn t fault it, and was worried after reading
reviews on trip adviser, We are ladies in our 50 s but loved Phi Phi
and would stay at Arayaburi again but would request a room lower down
with less of a hike to our room.
