My boyfriend and I arrived at the resort by long tail boat at night, there is a steep hill to walk up to reception which was well lit and looked like something out of a fairy tail book. Staff were very friendly and our room was gorgeous, very spacious, good aircon and plasma t.v. The bungalows are on brick stilts... More

Prior to arriving at Great View we had some crazy nights in Bangkok and Koh Phangan and we were looking for something away from the masses. This place was perfect! Yes, it is not for the unfit!!! The walk to the town is about 10 - 15 min and not an easy walk for unfit people or those carrying bags.... More

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
