Racha Koh Racha Yai, one of Phuket’s outstanding first-class resorts

Posted by admin on December 23rd, 2007 filed in Uncategorized

At the moment we reserved our guestroom in the Racha, we were not aware about this establishment, ranking as one of Phuket’s most luxurious four-star rated hotel resorts. However, after spending our holiday here, I undoubtedly can conclude that this excellent and professionally run hotel offers the most comfortable and best facilitated accommodation, Phuket has on offer.

I was using various holiday resources to find the most lucrative deal and it was purely coincidence when suddenly the Racha Koh Racha Yai resort caught my eye. The provided information about all the services and guest amenities sounded really attractive while the rooms seemed reasonably priced too. So I decided to go for it and did choose this resort as our next holiday accommodation.
    
Once we arrived at Phuket International Airport we were immediately picked-up by a stylish Mercedes Benz car. It really impressed us and for a moment we felt like celebrities. Our comfortable ride finally dropped us off at the hotel’s dedicated boat trip check-in facility. After less than 15 minutes the boat arrived. The refreshing boat trip to the island location of the hotel lasted about 30 minutes. During the sea voyage I started to realise that our choice of accommodation was wonderfully positioned on an exotic island, known as Koh Racha Yai!

Other guests’ experiences made it clear that it is recommendable to be aware of the time you have between the arrival of your flight and the boat’s departure. This will avoid possible hours of waiting time. As we didn’t check the amount of time, it was pure luck that the boat arrived very soon.

As to the Racha hotel resort itself, the reputed establishment is certainly gorgeously presented, situated in a charming area on a superb and sun-soaked sandy beach. It might be a great option hiring a villa on top of the hill, as this location is free from disturbing passing motorised vehicles. Because of this you can fully enjoy the very private surrounding environment. The scenery here is pretty as well. The villa featured a rather modest but essential interior. I really appreciated the outdoors shower. The villa remained extremely neat as during our stay, the always smiling staff frequently cleaned the property. The available infinity swimming pool was really a pleasure, particularly at dusk.

Although I’d heard about a few guests having complained about certain services, I never experienced any problems. The services, which were provided to us, during our entire stay, were even faultless.

The daily served, rich breakfast was another enjoyable experience. However, dining at the Racha isn’t cheap! The local restaurants can be reached within a short stroll from the resort and serve good and inexpensive meals. The sandy beach wasn’t always peaceful as occasionally it became crowded. However, there was always the option to walk to a nearby deserted beach.
