Travel reviews for Araya Buri Resort
Date of stay: Feb 10, 2012
Accommodation and facilities:
The bungalow was of high standard, however, far away from the reception.
You have to be a good walker without any knee problems to enjoy the place.
DVD-player in the room, however a mini piece of soap!
The view from the hotelcompound (not the bungalow) was out of this world.
Also our breakfast at the sandy beach.

Accommodation and facilities:
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.

Accommodation and facilities:
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.

Accommodation and facilities:
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.

Accommodation and facilities:
Schöne weitläufige Anlage mit tollen De Luxe Bungalows und wunderbaren Ausblick aufs Meer. 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.

Accommodation and facilities:
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.

Why the Arayaburi should be Your Chosen Resort . . .
If you would like to experience the splendors of the Pho Pho Islands, then the Arayabuti resort is exactly what you are looking for.
The Arayaburi resort is secluded and exclusive resort of the highest quality or service and comfort nestled in the hills of Laem Hin.
In short, this resort has everything you would come to expect from a high quality Phi Phi resort.
The Arayaburi Resort consists of 38 high quality villas situated on the hillside alongside Bayview Resort and Laem Hin beach.
Arayaburi is situated among tall trees on the hillside with its own private beach areas.
From the Villas you have the beauty of the tropical gardens and the Seaview Villas enjoy the views across to Phi Phi Lae Island.
The resort's location is the key to its appeal. The seaview villas provide the most enviable views and the resort
is located away from the crowds with two private beach areas as well as access to Laem Hin beach at Bayview Resort.
Araya Buri offers extra privacy and comfort than most expect but is only 10 minutes walk from restaurants,
bars and shops and only 18 minutes walk from the pier. So guests can enjoy the seclusion
with the choice of two quiet beaches or walk a little towards town for a little more action.
