My husband and I have been dreaming about going back to The Racha since we were there a few months ago and when we checked out the resort's Free Nite Offer on it's website, we jumped at the chance! It's a totally different experience as a return guest at The Racha. Even our limo driver recognised us immediately at Phuket... more

We researched this hotel in some detail before we booked a 5 day trip, expecting it to be a paradise island with a wonderful hotel which it is. However, we were a group of 3, and I would say it is a honeymoon/couples resort and would not recommend it for anything else. As all the reviews have said, the hotel... more

We have been at the racha for 5 days and are leaving tomorrow. I had read all of the reviews about this resort, and therefore had reasonably high expectations. However, I can easily say that these have all been exceeded. The staff have been enormously helpful, and given that this is technically "low season", the staff/resident ratio has been very... more

We spent 4 days at the Racha recently. First the good part, the beach and the property is beautiful. The rooms are fantastic and being a HIP hotel was clearly a goal to the owners, the hotel looks ready for a photo shoot. Unfortunately, the 5 stars (and the over inflated prices) is in the details. Our first lunch at... more

My girlfriend and I just got back from a fantastic 10 day trip to Thailand. I had been before in 2002, but this time decided to do a lot of research on where to stay. We ended up staying only 2 nights at The Racha, we had planned 3, but had an early flight out of Phuket and would not... more

My stay at the Racha was amazing. From the moment we arrived at the departure lounge, everything was five star. The beach and grounds are stunning. Our room was also beautiful. And the music playing under water in the pool was a nice touch! It was very difficult to leave the Racha. more

We went to Phuket for our honeymoon and our first stop was The Racha... This was the best decision ever!!! Oey was the driver from The Racha who picked us up from Phuket airport - and what a pleasant guy he was. Friendly and very helpful with everything - also in a limo we had cool water and refreshing towels... more

We were supposed to have been in a Superior Villa but were upgraded to the Lighhouse due to overbooking albeit we shared the Lighthouse with another family. They took the ground floor while we took the next 3 floors (YES its that BIG). The view is simply great and the ambience truly truly resort with gentle breezes and the sound... more
