Find Resorts in Rayong, Thailand

We enjoyed it. There was a group of people there one evening and they let them sing karaoke in the only restaurant they have. It was blaring. I asked to have it turned down as the restaurant is really long and open to the outdoors. We were at the opposite end as far as you could get from the stage and it was still blaring. One guy wasn’t all that bad ;), but the rest were not. You had to scream to have a conversation. It was only one evening though. The buffet was delicious. I like the pool and the beach was cleaned up. It was honestly the only small segment of beach not filled with styrofoam and other junk. They really need to manage that in Rayong. They had sand fleas around too. It was a great room. The bungalows were booked, but if we went back - we’d try to get one of them. Nice staff. They were more environmentally friendly in how they were setup than a lot of places in Thailand. Two thumbs up :).

The hotel was beautiful and a decent price considering Rayong is an expensive area. The pool was gorgeous and not too crowded. The hotel is also across from the ocean and the beach is very soft with very little rocks. However, my group had car trouble and were completely stranded at the hotel. There was absolutely nothing to do after dinner other than swim. There wasn't even a 7-11 nearby for us to go and get some snacks or drinks. The restaurant was okay but way too westernized. We wanted some good authentic thai seafood but had no transportation options to go to a restaurant. Basically, it's a great location if you have your own method of transportation to leave if need be.,

I took a long weekend away with my teenage son and had a great time. The room was spacious and had a great view. The Hotel is not advertised as 5 Star Hotel but it fell right in line with it's 3 star rating. We had a great time in the huge swimming pool and had a drive out into Rayong. Food was great when we ordered room service. I would recommend this place if you want some time out away from the madness. The beach is not so good but we did some successful shell collecting :-) Overall I had a good experience here.

The Mae Pim Resort Hotel was a great hotel straight across the road from the beach. Scooter hire just down the road 200 meters with a 7/11 staff were very helpful when they could, but maybe would help if someone could speak a bit more English. Staff even dropped us of at the bus station 18 kilometres away. Great place to eat is The Kitchen about a Kilometre heading back to Rayong.

It's a good experience to be there! It's far away from town, @40 mins drive to town, @10 mins walk to nearby hotel with foods & massage. There's no 24 hrs services, from morning to 10pm only, have to find the security guard if necessary, we haven't been to a hotel like this. It seems silent & dark in the hotel area at night, no more night life but it's not quiet as it's located on the roadside, traffic was noicy at all. Staffs there don't know English much but they are nice & helpful, all they were trying there best to serve our needs. Breakfast can just feed our stomach, fruits are always with flys. Few set meals for lunch & dinner were the same with no hope. Hire a motorbike with net @5 mins back to the way to town, there were many local seafoods kitchens on the beach which were cheap & tasty. Swimming pool facing the sea was amazing, walking on the beach or hire a boat for fishing were enjoyable too. Overall the hotel is comfortable & valuable to stay!

We were very pleased that we chose the island to be our honeymoon destination. It's only a few hours drive from Bangkok. And when we arrived there, we truly did enjoy the breathtaking views of the sea. The white sandy beach was clean and we were able to swim in. The best part for us was the privacy of the location. You can only hear the sound of the sea and of your company with some odd crickets and geckos noises. We loved the bungalow we stayed. It was not very fancy but very comfortable indeed. Though the bathroom and toilet could be cleaned better. We spent most of our days in the little open-air hut in front of our bungalow by the sea doing nothing but relaxing. The staff there was friendly and willing to help. The food was delicious and not too pricey. Definitely recommend this place for those who seek relaxation and escape from busy life.

This is a small boutique hotel miles away from Rayong so ideally a car is necessary, but that applies equally to the larger hotels further along the coast. The hotel has only 18 rooms, consequently the facilities are appropriate to the size. For us it was perfect. The pool and sea are clean, there are no beach sellers and there are no high rise hotels or apartments in sight to spoil the natural environment, only green trees that line the road to Rayong. The dinner menu is not extensive but the quality of the food is excellent and beyond our expectations. The breakfast is not the normal buffet, but that would not be appropriate for the size of hotel. However, the staff provided all that we asked for. Overall this hotel gets top marks and we will certainly come again.

This was one where I was so reluctant to leave on my business trips. The others, some, I can’t wait for morning to come and check out. For their weekday price, for the comfort level and functionality of the room, for the name Centara, it was an extremely worth well bargain. I will not get such matching levels of services, amenities and enjoyment of being pampered by a well maintained environment in other hotels this region. The view from my Superior Ocean Facing room was awesome. In between my frantic typing on my keyboard, should I needed to relax, I had only to walk out the balcony to reset my un-focused mind back into its stable state. The breeze, the sound of ocean waves, there was no sound of traffic nor noisy crowd. For this hotel was a 50km drive from Rayong, but it will be worth the trip and return I will. Seclusion but without the lack of attention like other hotels do. Meal wise, I enjoyed dining at their pool bar just off the beach. There was a glitch when dessert was served, just a small one. Creme Brulee was frozen at the core, I could hear ice crystals crackling when my spoon dug in. This was further confirmed when I thought I was eating sorbet. They kindly re-served me another one when I voiced out my concern and had to convince the staff that Creme Brulee is not an ice cream with a hot crusty top. My second Brulee was, well at least not frozen, I could tell they tried to warm it up. However, the food & beverage department side of my brain was totally confused if I was having dessert or breakfast. Creme Brulee had a texture of scrambled eggs. My confused brain was fortunately reset to the proper state in the morning where I truly enjoyed their excellent breakfast. Fully re-charged, I was back on the road, reluctantly much that was.

I have my own travel website, and I thought I would tour Rayong for the first time. What a nice place! friendly people, limited traffic, nice beaches, good restaurants. There are not too many hotels in Rayong of a good standard, but I was impressed by the Novotel.The room was a little small and had limited tv channels, but the staff, breakfast and swimming pools were great. If you book direct the hotel wants at least double the price Agoda can do it for. Spend some time in Rayong, it is nice.

it's about 5 minutes drive to the beach and 2.50 hours drive from bangkok. the restaurant's atmosphere and food are great, but a little pricey. the rooms are clean and new, surprisingly no mosquito in the room. the room downstairs got balcony with nice natural greenery view. the water park is quite great for kids at all ages, especially for kids above 5 years old since it got 3 big fancy sliders and a big pool area. the breakfast area is also near by the pool and it is included in the room package. breakfast is also great with american and thai styles by the lake and pool views. it is worth the money to pay for this hotel for one night stay if not satisfied with beach front hotels in rayong area.

OK folks, what you need to know about Rayong is that it is a very well spread out general area and the songtel/taxis are quite infrequent and regular taxis don't use a meter like in Bangkok. The Rayong Chalet Resort is away along the beach, about 35 kms from Rayong and 25 from Banphe. Banphe and the island Koh Samet are regarded as part of Rayong. The hotel is pleasant enough but there is only a couple of other places nearby and it is very quiet at night. The TV had no international channels, I managed to retune it and find BBC and ESPN but poor reception. The seaview room we got was quite spacious but the bathroom was ridiculously small, the designer could easily have given the bathroom another 1/2 metre and made all the difference. And yes indeed the groutwork on the bathroom tiles could certainly do with a serious going over with good mould killer. It was very nice swimming in the sea here but even away out in the boonies there was still rubbish on the sand and in the water, a problem Thailand does not deal with at all well. Breakfast and the restaurant were adequate. The staff were fine. In closing I would say that the Rayong Chalet suffers from the popularity of Koh Samed because that's where all the tourists are and it is miles away. We had 3 nights here and it was a pleasant change from Bangkok but I think 2 nights would have sufficed. I doubt if I'll be back. Frank and Yingluck from NZ and Thai

Really pleased to have found this resort in Rayong, its a fantastic place with a really nice feel and atmosphere created by the attentive staff and owner. The resort is about 100m from the beach and lots of good sea food restaurants so despite no sea view its fine. The pools are great especially the one with natural rocks and imitation sand, probably the best pool I have been in. The rooms are very well built with great beds and showers and everything you need is there. Will definitely be going back again and recommending it to our friends, thanks for a lovely stay.

We stayed in a two bedroom garden home with two bathrooms, and a kitchen & seating area. Appliances were all there: big fridge, oven, TV (no washing machine, microwave for rent if needed). Facilities were excellent, e.g. swimming pool, restaurant and gym. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beach (and beach road) about 500 meters from the house. Airconditioning working properly (and needed in the hot season) but a bit noisy, as the compresors are attached to the wall outside. The properties are partly hotel partly privately owned, the staff took good care of all guests equally. The beach is excellent! Wide and with plenty of shady trees, busy but never too full.

This resort doesn´t claim to be a four of five star one, neither does the cottage rate matches those. Read through their webpage and I can confirm they live up to their promise, pretty fair value. Located at the end of a dead.end-road, it is a hideaway in all respects. If you are looking for a night and bar life, lots of restaurants around - it is not a place you should go for. There is not even a food stall or somtam shop close to the resort, what means something in Thailand. If you need to stay close to business or - for whatever reason - can´t live without stable and fast internet access, it might not be your´s as well ... sometimes WiFi works, sometimes it doesn´t. And if it works - only in the restaurant area and at slow speed, but for free. If you plan to leave the resort once in a while, you should have a car at hand. The cottages are simple, thai-style elevated, with open-air bathroom (hot and cold water), TV (primarily Thai channels), aircon and minibar (stocked with two water bottles). Not large, without wardrobe or cabinets, just a desk for TV and put some things on. Covered terrace with chairs and a table. And lots of green around and above the cottages. Or behind, when you decided to go for a sea view cottage. Breakfast buffet is straight forward, not a wide choice, nor special or impressive. But enough to not stay hungry for your start into the day. The range offered is limited and one might get bored with the choice after a few days, but quality is ok. Staff is shy, what isn´t unusual when going country (sea) side, but very friendly and helpful. Great place to relax for a long weekend. For sightseers, I think one can cover the area in three to four days with the need to drive some distance going to places. Discovered accommodation here has moderate prices, but eating out is more expensive compared to e.g. Cha Am.

Booked here for a last minute get away on a long weekend. This place makes a good base to get around Rayong and nearby islands. It's a 5-10 minute walk to numerous ports offering trips to a number of places. We made a day trip to Samet Island (Haad Sai Keaw) which cost us a grand total of each (return). The staff were pleasant, especially the bar tender / cook

Bay View Resort provided the perfect place for a few days get away. Located on the shore of Rayong, the resort is a harbour of peacefulness. The rooms are clean and spacious, and offer a beautiful view on the sea. We spend the night there with a group of three friends, and enjoyed the relaxing environment. Furthermore, the staff was very friendly and helpful, offering insights into the city and different modes of transports. From Rayong, it is very easy to access Samed Island and experience white sand beaches and azure water. I highly recommend the resort to anyone wanting to escape the high prices of Samed, and still live the resort experience. We all enjoyed our stay at Bay View Resort, and would love to return there.

The hotel is clean and right opposite the beach. Beach is clean and the water is clear. Rooms are clean and new and the staff is excellent. However at 5pm on Saturday the thumping sounds from the resort nearby started and the bass started pumping and echoing in the room till after 1am. The receptionist was apologetic but seems couldn't do anything when complained. Then to make it worse at 8 am the music starts again and thus time it's louder and even more annoying. If you want to come for a holiday it's best to avoid Mae Phim as there is no consideration for the traveler who wants to come relax. While driving around the day there were cars fitted with loud speaker parked by the beach blasting the sounds....

We stayed at Panwana Resort for one night without any high expectation but we came back with such a great memory there! The owners were there at all time giving helpful information, great service and just really nice people. I left my bag overnight at the lobby and they returned it back to me first thing in the morning. After a late check-in at 10pm for which they were very nice about it without any complaint, we ended up playing board game with the owners' son and it was so much fun! We felt like we were staying at our auntie's house as they really made us feel like home. Will definitely stay there again. Value for money, great facility, friendly owners, what's more you could ask for!!!

Had a comfortable relaxing stay. Staff were great at telling us about best local attractions. We had a quiet, comfortable, clean room. The resort is modern and well decorated. There are two disadvantages, the resort is about 50km inland from Pattaya (I thought I had booked a resort in Rayong City, not a place close to Pattaya) and not easy to find, plus it has no swimming pool. Otherwise our 4-day stay was flawless!

We had planned this trip for over a half year, and spent quite some time finding our perfect hotel. Not only did this place meet our expectations, it outdid all we ever dreamed of, so we decided to increase our vacation from 3 to 4 weeks. The staff has been 100% dedicated and helpful with everything we need from day 1. Travelling with a baby and a 5 year old girl could be challenging in a country full of babyacs, but they made our oldest kid happy too, with endless attention. We have felt very welcome, and if we ever go back to Thailand, this is where we will go. Some comments on other peoples' negative reviews: No, there is no dirt road leading to this hotel, it's easy to get there with a regular car. No, it doesn't take 50 min from the pier, more like 15. With a moped with a sidewagon. 20 min in taxy to Rayong city. No, this is no place to go if tourist industry games or backpacker partying is your goal. If you wanna see the real Thailand on a local basis, and just relax, this is the perfect spot. Oh, and the breakfast is fine. The other food in the restaurant too. And there is no extra costs in the hotel at all except internet to the room and extra food and drinks.

They receptionist were great. The location of the hotel is perfect (entrace is on the main road and the rooms themselves are a bit far from the street you will not hear the cars driving pass by). Breakfast is avareage however, it's always the best to have breakfast with the nice sea view and feeling the wind. The price is reasonable. Buttom line is I recommend this hotel to others who want to visit Rayong.

my wife and i stayed for 4 nights. fyi: much of my impression is in comparison to phuket. hotel is located about 25 minutes from rayong (our taxi was 350baht). once there, we did not get in or on a motorized vehicle again until our cab picked us to go to bangkok after checkout (2000baht by the way). if you want to super relax without the hassle and noise of traffic, nightlife, and tons of tourists, this is a great place. if you want to do more, such as day tours, the hotel is a licensed vendor of undiscovered thailand tours--some of them looked quite fun, though we did not go on any. a small town is a few minutes away if you want some markets. otherwise, the property is a collection of charming bungalows with patios, winding paths lined with vegetation (many are labeled which was interesting), a nice common-area/restaurant that is pretty much the hit of a few square miles i think, a very nice, clean pool, and a spa. breakfast is good and varied and was included in our price. we ate lunch and most dinners there too. good thai food, and great brick oven pizza. we had mani/pedi's and 3 massages in spa--good prices and nice people. location is directly across a relatively quiet road (compared to anything in phuket for example), very easily and safely crossed. the beach is lined with hundreds of umbrellas, chairs and tables usable for free. beach "restaurants" line the beach with more good, affordable food, especially sea food. the room was large and clean, but a bit dated. for a me, i don't want a bungalow that is too slick or polished. this was the right mix of comfort and charm. bed was king size memory foam. of the tourists, many were european & north american, but a nice factor was that on weekend, many of beach-goers were thai couples and families down for the weekend. it was nice to see thais enjoying their own country, instead of just serving us while we enjoy it!

My wife and I wanted to stay in a homestay in a fruit orchard in rayong. I heard there are many. However, I couldn't find any, or at least not on english booking sites. I found this one, which seems like a fun activity kind of place, but not exactly in a fruit orchard. I saw a couple mentions of fruit trees in user reviews but it seemed to not be the emphasis. However, it turns out there is a big orchard here and tons of different kind of fruit trees. We took a bike tour and a guide rode around with us. Since he didn't speak english I was tempted to send him back, but it turns out he was extremely helpful. The park is giant and the orchards giant. We wouldn't have been able to just follow the little map. Also he knew where to find the best fruit and he climbed the trees for us. We picked mangosteen, durian, rambutan, and long kong. This was exactly what we wanted. I like the houses on the river too.
