The Racha
42/12-13 Moo 5, Amphoe Muang, Phuket, 83130 Ko Racha Yai , Thailand – Excellent location - show map
The location was beautiful. The water was crystal clear and the island had amazing views and landscapes. It felt like being in the maldives. The spa facility was exceptional and their masseuse Aye was splendid. The staff was very helpful and the resort kept up with its luxury status with small gestures and tokens every night. The property was very lavish and the rooms were spacious.
