Rayong City Hotels with Bars

The hotel's overall environment is great, perfect for a vacation, and the room privacy is excellent, very comfortable. The drinks at the restaurant are also delicious, and you can see many giant clams and fish on the beach right outside. The only downside is that the chlorine in the swimming pool is too strong! My child's body, inner thighs, and neck all broke out in rashes. My child swims frequently, and we've never encountered this at previous hotels. Even my friend developed scattered red rashes after swimming for just half an hour.

Since we were traveling as a family and wanted to stay together, we ultimately chose this hotel. The service was truly excellent; the staff were very attentive and had a great attitude. We also tried the restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the food was good and reasonably priced. In the evenings, there was a fire dance show. The hotel has a private beach with clear water and soft sand, which our kids absolutely loved. You could even see many fish in the sea. The hotel isn't on the main street, so it's about a 35-minute walk, making it quite quiet. I'd recommend renting a scooter. For going out at night, walking along the beach feels safer. Our family had a very relaxing vacation here!

Compared to the second night at The Tamarind, where the prices were similar, the facilities were vastly different. The Tamarind offered a standalone villa, whereas Sakae had small, connected units. The curtains didn't block out light, and there was no conditioner or disposable toiletries (you had to ask for them). These weren't a big deal, but the worst part of the experience was when we checked in, the front desk mentioned there would be a fire show at 8:30 PM. We rushed over after dinner on the main street, carrying a pizza we hadn't had a chance to eat yet, to catch the show. Upon arrival, we found it was inside a restaurant. A male staff member very aggressively told us we'd have to pay 500 Thai Baht. Honestly, after so many trips to Thailand, even the scammers are usually smiling. This was the only time I encountered such rudeness, and it was at Sakae. I understand that as a restaurant, they can have a policy against bringing in outside food. However, the front desk only told us to go to the left for the show and never mentioned it was a restaurant (we arrived quite late, took a paid boat to the island at 6 PM, settled into the hotel, and then went to the main street for dinner). Secondly, they could have simply reminded us, but there was no need to give us a dirty look. If they had a good attitude, I would have paid the 500, provided they offered good service and made us feel welcome. This experience left a very bad impression. However, its advantage is that it's close to the main street and has a beach, so I'm sharing this information for anyone who might find it useful.

The fact that it's right in front of the beach was great. It was also nice to be able to borrow beach towels for going to the beach. However, since it's a bit set back from the main street, you have to walk through sand, which can be a bit tough if you have a suitcase.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the resort! The food was great and the majority of staff were very friendly and pleasant to talk with. The many dogs were leashed, vaccinated, and quite friendly as well which is always a bonus. We were overcharged one day for lunch without noticing, and one of the workers let us know in the morning and gave us a full refund. Without him telling us we would have never known, so major props to them for that! The only issue we had on service is there was one worker without uniform who always had quite the attitude toward my wife, friends, and I which was pretty disappointing, but everyone else was great! The beach was clean, the room was great for the price we paid, and overall we had a great stay. I highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed at Avatara Resort from July 6th to 12th for our 4th visit. The location remains hard to beat: The beach right outside the resort is absolute perfection and our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. However, as returning guests (4th-timers), we were a bit disappointed by the service. The staff could certainly be a bit more welcoming. It was still a good stay overall and we would stay there again.

We are regulars to this island and hotel and are always happy to return. Hotel is aging a bit but the services, staff and location will help you to easily ignore that. The restaurant is decent, not the best of the island but fairly priced and especially beautiful in the evening once the sun goes down. There are regular fire shows at 9pm. The bar and disco area are active every evening, staff are friendly and warm and prices are fair. If you’re taking a family or just want a quiet time with your other half this hotel is perfect for you.

This is our second time staying at this hotel. Upon arrival, we were initially checked into a bungalow, which we didn't like – it was very dark and cramped. We requested to be moved to the main building. They put us on the first floor, which wasn't ideal, but it was okay. Everything in the room felt old, and during cleaning, the toiletries and tea weren't replenished; we had to ask for them. The breakfasts are good, and sometimes there's live music, which is a nice touch. There's also live music on the beach and a fire show in the evenings. The hotel is just a stone's throw away from 7/11. Overall, it's a decent hotel.

The hotel is in a great, quiet location away from the main crowds. The sea is beautiful with white sandy beaches, the beach is cleaned regularly, and plastic sun loungers are available. The room is simple and unpretentious, giving off a rustic resort vibe. It comes with bedding, towels, an instant water heater in the shower, and a mosquito repeller with one refill tablet. Toothbrushes and toothpaste are not provided. Breakfast is basic: eggs, rice, salad, tomatoes, yogurt, and cereal—enough to get by. For lunch, we ate right on the beach: a lovely woman sells fried chicken and papaya salad, which was delicious and inexpensive. You can have dinner at the beachfront cafés, and there are fire shows on the shore every evening. There isn't any proper housekeeping; in the mornings, they just drop off fresh towels, bottled water, and toilet paper. Fresh bed linen was brought on the third day. We had a broom on our porch and swept up the sand ourselves. No bugs or mosquitoes were spotted in the room. The beach is gorgeous and sandy; to the left, you can swim, check out the fish and coral reef, and enjoy amazing snorkeling. There are paths on both the left and right sides of the beach that lead to neighboring coves. The major downside to this paradise beach was that we got badly bitten over the course of 3 days. I'm not sure what kind of insects they were—they bite without you noticing, similar to sand fleas, causing terrible itching that doesn't go away with any ointment.

The hotel is great, I really like it. It's right by the beach 🏖️, which is fantastic. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit. The food at the restaurant is also good. You can even have drinks by the sea in the evening.
