We must have looked at every hotel in Railay before choosing the Great View and we're pretty sure we made the right decision. Arriving by boat into the bay we transferred into the resort's own boat and skimmed round the headland to the private dock. Welcomed with a cold drink we checked in and discovered our beautiful room with a... More

A very secluded hide away, made up of cabins on the hillside, ours was quite high and a trek and a half to get to the room, not ideal for anyone with mobility issues. The walk to Railay west is quite long but is your wanting a little hideaway then this place is perfect. Cabins are a good size with... More

As we are looking for a tranquil resort to relax and enjoy, we found Great View a perfect location. It is in the very remote area of Railay, with 10 minutes walk from the West beach to the East beach, and 15 minutes walking up and down before arriving, or we have to take hotel boat from the east beach...

The most romantic room I've ever seen...too bad I was alone! Little cabins on the hillside hold beautiful rooms with balconies and big bathrooms. The pool is lovely, the view is fabulous, the restaurant is fine. I really wanted a pina colada, but alcohol is either limited or non-existent. This would be a great place for a honeymoon although I... More

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in early April. It starts out with a boat ride to Railay West. From Railay West, we had to walk what felt like around 1.8 miles (20 minutes) with our luggage to get to the resort which was a hassle and I was drenched in sweat by the time I got... More

Location: I guess if you want seclusion, Railay Great View may suffice. But for us, it was too isolated, and painful to get to and from. The long boats landed on the west side of Railay Beach, and you either had to walk for 20 mins or catch a second boat to the 'resort'. Getting wet whilst getting in and... More

We stayed in Railay Great View in February for 6 nights for our honeymoon. The hotel is located in the very end of Railay East around 10-15 minutes past the bars and restaurants of Railay East. We didn't mind walking this distance, because the hotel has indeed a secluded and private location, so it's worth the walking. Unlike what other... More

It's beautiful and we had a great time for the most part, but I had no idea what an adventure it would be to get here and to stay here. I wasn't able to read a lot of reviews before booking because of internet problems so it's my fault that I was uninformed. We took a bus from the airport... More
