Top Rawai Hotel Reviews
Wyndham Grand Nai Harn Beach Phuket
"Perfect location if you want to be close to the beach! Very helpful. Staff clean rooms and lots of pool space to enjoy."
The Nai Harn
"The location was perfect and the staff very helpful and attentive. Also the food was delicious. Nothing bad to say, this is a great place to stay and I hope to have the opportunity to return soon."
Chalong Marina Bay View Phuket
"We had a great stay there. If you like to stay somewhere with local vibe, this is the best choice. This hotel is not surrounded with luxury shops and not very touristy people. Shops around this place are cheaper than the other sides of Phuket. Hotel was amazing and restaurant was great. The only issue we had was with non stick kitchenware which I asked them to replace."
Navatara Phuket Resort
"The room was comfortable and spacious. We did have to switch rooms due to construction noise and dust starting early in the morning. I requested they move us to the opposite side of property and it was much better. The free shuttle to Promtep was a lovely add-on. The staff was friendly and a small parting gift of a coin purse was a wonderful touch."
Meet Holiday Hotel
"Staff and room were awesome. Room was a little too far from the main entrance. Our room was a VIP, if you are looking for privacy and quiet, this could be great for you. For us adventurous people regular rooms were better located."
