Princess Resort & Spa, Ao Nang, Railay Bay
My husband, daughter and I stayed in a triple room. Room was well
maintained and very comfortable. The pool was very nice. Able to order
food and beverages from the pool area. Very convenient. Reception
and dining room staff were pleasant. Breakfast buffet was one of the
best that we had in Thailand. There was a quite a good selection.
We ate several meals at the hotel and overall the food was okay. Not
great, but good. Recommend staying away from the barbeque as we found
it over priced. All in all, we felt this hotel was the best value
on Railay Beach and would definately stay there again. The hotel is
situated between beaches. However, it is an easy walk to any of the
beaches. |

Nice Hotel. A generator is located near the hotel but you will get
used to it. It s one of several generators on Railay. Some earlier
comment says This means that a walk to any beach is through a construction
site and the noise can be imposing during the day. There is an altenative
walkway to Railey West located North of the Hotel. Railey East is
a close walk through the Maya Hotel area. Spend some 20min exploring
the nearby area and you will see that everything is close and easy
to access. What is really missing is a detailed map of the place.
When going to Phra Nang Beach. Dont forget to bring a torch when exploring
the cave. The part with all the bats is impossible to reach otherwise.

The hotel itself is quite nice but on one side is a building site,
on another side is a rubbish dump, and on another is a loud generator.
Holiday from hell material! |

We had a brief medical emergency during our stay and the staff arranged
instant transfer, tickets and hotel to Bangkok, with an eye towards
keeping it all economical. We were grateful for their help. They also
arranged a private long boat with lunch and equipment for a day out
to Koh Tup and such, again at a reasonable rate. However, regarding
the hotel itself, some of the comments read earlier are still true.
There are generators and a fair amount of construction and piles of
junk nearPrincess Resort [but not on the resort property itself].
This property is best reached by long boat directly to Railay East
if you have a family or any big suitcases. Otherwise, you ll be on
your own hauling them across beach and paths to the hotel. We learned
this when we took a boat from Ao Nang to Railay West and were left
on our own. The hotel will pick you up at the airport or Ao Nang by
van to the pier and then by boat to a mobile platform, delivering
you one minute from your room for 1,200 B, worth it for a family of
5 with small kids and all sorts of luggage etc. and no wet suitcases
or hauling overland. If you are on your own, no kids or hauling only
a backpack, would be needlessly expensive. The lagoon on the property
seems like a waste of space since the dining area seems very tight.
We were bumping into people the whole time at breakfast. Still the
situation here was far better than other Railay East properties, one
of which had a cement mixer 1 meter from a guest room and a nearby
generator which seemed more like a powerplant belching out diesel
fumes. Overall we were very satisfied and felt like the construction
site comments mentioned by others was now further away at other properties,
though you still had to look at it when walking to Cave Beach. |

Nice hotel, had a rather comfortable stay. Room was clean and spacious.
However, there were times where the housekeeping staff had to be reminded
to wash the used glasses from the room and replace the towels. Bathroom
amenities were also never replaced during our stay. The buffet breakfast
wasn t that great either. The hotel seemed popular with families with
young children. Pool was well used by them. |

The room was nice but the staff were unfriendly and breakfasts were
disappointing when compared to past Thai hotels. Conveniently situated
but much being built around it at present so you have to walk through
a building site to get there. |

This resort is in a spectacular area of Railay where the cliffs at
the north & South are visible from most rooms, the restaurant & the
pool. Rooms are new, clean & well laid out with good views although
a bit expensive compared with other areas. The main negative is the
massive amount of construction going on in other resorts in Railay
at the moment until mid 2007. This means that a walk to any beach
is through a construction site and the noise can be imposing during
the day. Also the Princess resort runs off of a generator which hums
continuosly which can be a bit annoying. These trade offs were OK
with us and we had a great 6 nights in this spectacular area. |

Resort not as high quality as I thought - Quality of breakfast was
rather poor. Accomodation was OK. Staff at the resort were not helpful
at all. |

New 3 story hotel, conveniently located between the beaches. My room
was fantastic, but the service could care a little more about cleanliness
(sheets were dirty, a tray with food-leftovers was standing in the
floor for almost two days before removed!). |

We booked 2 sup. connecting rooms and the hotel upgraded our rooms
to DLX rooms. unfortunately one of the rooms was smoking room. Nice
rooms, small but nice pool, the team worked fine. breakfast is mini
mini buffet (omelet, bread, butter, jam, pancake, fruit). the food
in the restorant is tasty and not expensive. Very important !!!! The
only way to get to Railay Beach is by boat and there is no deck on
the beach. It is highly recommended to book transfer to & from the
hotel, otherwise you will tread in water from the boat to the beach
with your things over your head. |
