Rawai Palm Beach Resort Hero

There were good and bad points regarding our stay here and I will now list them in no particular order. The negative aspects of our stay were that the hotel itself is not in a very good location. Yes it's only 5 minute walk to the beach but it's not a beach you can sunbathe on as it's not the cleanest and the tide goes out a long way at certain times leaving only mud. It's rather isolated too apart from the strip that's opposite the beach but there's nothing really on it. There's a limited amount of restaurants and bars for you to actually have a night out. When we arrived we first had a problem with the room they gave us as our booking was with a pool view. However, from the room you couldn't actually see the pool as when you're on the ground floor - albeit next to the pool - there's bushes and walls in the way. We were moved to the second floor looking down on the pool so all was good. The ground floor rooms should not be advertised as a pool view! My partner loves to have a bath of which there was a freestanding one. However, she tried it on the first night but not again after that as there was no head rest or gap so it was extremely uncomfortable. Whilst the front of the room overlooked the pool, the back (front door) overlooks a very busy and noisy main road...at all times of the night! Lots of the drawers and doors to cabinets and wardrobes were out of alignment and some could not even be closed properly because of this. There's tea and coffee making facilities but they give you powdered milk - in a 4* hotel?
Now for the positives. The grounds are easy on the eye with a lovely pool area, beautiful surroundings, nice statues a pleasant looking waterfall and rope bridge. The balcony overlooking the pool was spacious enough for 2 people, a clothes horse is out there for your wet washing along with a table and 2 chairs. The AC took a while to kick in cold but when it got going it was fine. The water was always nice and hot at any time of the day and the room contained a free safe. Our board here was bed and breakfast of which the different types of foods available was excellent for all pallets and nationalities.

NICE STAY BUT TOO OUT OF THE WAY

Not a bad hotel as such, just a little below standard. There are steps at the front of the hotel and then to the restaurant, followed by steps to what could be your 4th floor room. We were fortunately on the 1st floor. The room was clean and had coffee and tea making facilities, along with a reasonably priced mini bar. The bathroom was also clean and tidy. The pool area was strewn with empty bottles, glasses and plates and it appeared to only get cleaned up when the pool bar shut at 17.00. The hotel owners need to employ more staff,as the staff worked the breakfast, lunchtime and evening service. This left some of them a little unwilling to serve. The food was average in the buffet restaurant, but the other restaurant menu was better, although if like us you prebooked evening meals, you will be limited to a smaller menu choice. Disappointed. Would I stay here again? No

Disappointed 

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)

Best hotel in rawai beach

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!

Enjoyable 8 night stay - huge rooms and fab pool

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!

Definitely stay here!
