The best available hotels & places to stay near Rawai

August 13, 2022 Concepcion Newsome

Rawai is an off-the-beaten-path area of Phuket that attracts devotees of Muay Thai martial arts. Training centers here teach all levels, from absolute beginner to world champion. On the opposite end of the vacation spectrum, there’s the Phuket Seashell Museum, an immense collection of delicate specimens from around the world. A visit to the Sea Gypsy Village on the eastern end of Rawai Beach is a transformative experience.

Not 5 star should be more of a 4 star

For the price this place is not worth it, they could do better with the cleaning. Overall a nice hotel. The staff is very friendly and the chef at the omelette station knows what he is doing 10/10. The beach is short walking distance so that was nice. A bit far from everything so I suggest using Grab app for taxis.

Reviewed By DiscoverWorkTravel

genuine hospitality… airport transfer was arranged and on time / checkin was professional, quick and friendly / room service was nice and good / restaurant and bar service was nice and good as well as the gym staff or renting a scooter… overall very friendly and genuine helpful team members at the resort. I can’t say anything bad about the room or the property either except if i really like to make notes on a high level, as I am from the same industry, there are few spots which could be even better. But I did enjoy all 365 degree of the hotel and can only recommend the property for any kind of travelers

A bit rubbish

Reviewed By ScaryB

I stayed at the Serenity in the covid aftermath time. I think the room type does effect the stay - my review relates to the "Serenity room" type which is supposed to be an upgrade from the "palm" room. But it was probaby a downgrade. Hotel things: Mixture of residents and tourists, local resident cronies hanging around the pool etc. It's not really a beach. At lower tide you could get down to a sandy patch. Bit noisy at the pool - not that Serene. No evening food anywhere at the hotel, 6pm close. One of my pet hates, the menu prices excluded tax and service charge. Why can't they just put the actual price! Location, nothing around. You could walk up on the dual carriageway to a nearby coffee shop, or dice with death and cross it, to a nice Thai cafe opposite. Not many Grabs - taxi mafia controlling the gate. Rawai beach is cool but over 3km away. Mafia wanted 200 each way. The hotel took a deposit on check in with a card. Serenity Room specific things: The shower alternated between scalding hot and freezing cold. Would you like something in between? Never mind. The room was dark and dingy. Even with all the lights on and during the day I could hardly see how to make a cup of tea. The room was musty smelling. Generally quite old decor (inc lights, power, toilets etc). The double bed was (conspicuously) two beds pushed together No safe in the room! Good things: The wifi was pretty good. The view from the pool area was nice (but from the room was not). The pool was good. The gym was pretty good. The staff were nice. Would I stay there again? No, even with a better room, the location was not great. I couldn't wait to leave.

Disappointed

Reviewed By zemst

We booked 3 nights a poolvilla after arriving in Thailand. So we could wait in style for our PCR results. The poolvilla was ok but not spotless. The Terras was not 100% clean, chairs outside with bird poop… The room was ok but for 250€ per night we expect to have a top luxury feeling and that was not the case. Breakfast was very limited due to COVID and the fact that there were not many tourists. Not all services were available. We understand the situation but then they should adapt the price. It is a beautiful resort but don’t spend 250€ at a poolvilla it is not worth the money.
