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.

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.

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.

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:
Very disappointing! We were surprised to find that the Araya Buri hotel is co-operated with Bay View hotel sharing together the same lobby & reception, pool, etc. The service was terrible! The staff never smiled and kept refusing to whatever we asked. Our reservation was for Araya Grand Deluxe Villa with double bed, yet we got a twin-bed room with a connecting door to another adjacent room, though with no privacy at all. The staff at the reception refused to change the room, false claiming that the hotel is fully booked. There is no possibility to get an outside telephone line at the room. When we asked to make a local toll free call at the reception, they lied at our faces saying that the line is dead. On other occasion they even refused to just send a postcard for us. They also refused to check the possibility for a little late check-out we asked for, even though they knew that the only ferry to our next destination arrives in the afternoon. The hotel is located quite far from the island center with no paved way. As a result, one cannot avoid bringing sand and dirt into the room. We will definitely never return to Araya Buri hotel.
Keep away from this hotel, if you don’t want to spoil your vacation!

Reservation staff should have told us that the Araya Buri hotel is co-operated with Bay View hotel.

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

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

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.
