November 30, 2011 by Jack Lee Conley Visit Date:November 26, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The resort was beautiful, and we really enjoyed ourselves. My only complaint would be that we asked far in advance for an ocean view and were placed in the very back row of rooms furthest away from the water. It s also a LOT of walking. So for anyone with physical limitations, I would not recommend staying here. But for an incredibly picturesque visit with breakfast on the beach each morning, this is the place for you. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |

by Artem K. Visit Date:June 2, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Very beautiful location on the hill, greatest view from the window. Very quite place for the vacation located in pedestrian accessibility from Phi Phi village and all shops, restraints and other places. Very helpful staff but they have poor English skills.
Beach of the hotel is not convenient for swimming and lying on the sun because of the garbage coming from sea water of the bay available for the ships." |
by Karl Witzlsperger Visit Date:August 2, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Getting to Phi Phi island was a refreshing change from the hussle of Patong, and Araya Buri offered an extra level of peace and quiet being a 5 minute walk away from the main strip of Phi Phi. The room was nice, aircon was great, the outlook was loveley, and our two days here were just paradise... but i think much of that is thanks to Phi Phi Island itself. Honestly we spent most time out and about, and less time in the hotel - so having a comfy bed and good aircon was more than enough to please us. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |

Service zum Boot bei An / Abreise super. 2 kleine Badestrände, Pool ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.Hotel ist leider nur in der Nebensaison bezahlbar, in der Saison halte ich die Preise für stark übertrieben. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |

Excellent as always., March 25, 2009 by Ewa-Lill Witedal Visit Date:March 22, 2009 "Very good hotel. Nice little beach. We will come back again." |
Reservation staff should have told us that the Araya Buri hotel is co-operated with Bay View hotel., February 10, 2009 by Moshe Batat Visit Date:January 28, 2009 "Very disappointing! We were surprised to find that the Araya Buri hotel is co-operated with Bay View hotel sharing together the same lobby & reception, pool, etc. The service was terrible! The staff never smiled and kept refusing to whatever we asked. Our reservation was for Araya Grand Deluxe Villa with double bed, yet we got a twin-bed room with a connecting door to another adjacent room, though with no privacy at all. The staff at the reception refused to change the room, false claiming that the hotel is fully booked. There is no possibility to get an outside telephone line at the room. When we asked to make a local toll free call at the reception, they lied at our faces saying that the line is dead. On other occasion they even refused to just send a postcard for us. They also refused to check the possibility for a little late check-out we asked for, even though they knew that the only ferry to our next destination arrives in the afternoon. The hotel is located quite far from the island center with no paved way. As a result, one cannot avoid bringing sand and dirt into the room. We will definitely never return to Araya Buri hotel.
Keep away from this hotel, if you don’t want to spoil your vacation! <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |

Booking service was efficient and helpful, January 25, 2009 by EJ Scott Visit Date:January 22, 2009 "The hotel itself was fine however I had a bad experience with the transfer to Railay Beach because the hotel booked us onto a service that went via Krabi rather than direct to where I wanted to go. The journey was a disaster, took over three hours (normally 1.5 hrs), took us to an agenicy who tried to sell us accomodation that we did not need, and I finally had to pay the last part of the journey myself. This experience ruined what would otherwise have been a nice stay at this hotel." |
January 7, 2009 by Alessio Ascari Visit Date:December 30, 2008 "Clean hotel, good view, still close enough to Tourist Village (i.e., town ) to walk there - Very friendly staff" |
by Janet Elva Vasquez Visit Date:December 30, 2008 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We had a geat stay at this hotel. The room was great as wellas the food. I have to say this hotel had the best beach area. My only complaint in the hike to our room. I felt like we needed our hiking shoes." |
November 5, 2008 by M&K Visit Date:October 25, 2008 "A bit expensive for a mid range resort but still had a great time. Comfortable room with nice view of the sea. I think management are trying hard but they are let down by their junior staff. We had dirty plates left outside our door for 2 days. Would prpbably look at other options before returning to Araya Buri. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
perfect, November 5, 2008 by MURIEL HAMONIC Visit Date:October 25, 2008 "Very friendly staff, especially at massage place on the beach! very nice bungalow, could be cleaner though... Nice beach, close to Tonsai but without all the noise and people, good restaurant, though full for breakfast, not big enough! Have to walk quite a lot and upwards to reach the bungalow. Nice to walk around, one beach after the other(opposite side of Tonsai, towards longbeach). Monkey Beach and Maya Beach very close. Surely recommendable hotel. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
Booking went smooootly!!, August 29, 2008 by Han Yong David Tie Visit Date:August 18, 2008 "When you ve just arrived it seems a long walk to the hotel (we arrived in the afternoon, low water, so the bags went with the boat) After a day or two, we discovered that the island is actually very small, so everything is very near, just 15 min. walk.
Good hotel, very nice, friendly personel! We gave for every bag 30 bath for bringing them to the chalet, as our room was located at the end of the resort. The hills to the rooms was very steep.
We re glad that our hotel is at the end of the center of PhiPhi, as the music of all bars and restaurants are very loud. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
