Most beautiful location, so somehow worth it, but expensive and food needs to be much better.

There is no better view. And the beds are fantastic. Great to have one’s own canoe and patio. Easy to get in and out of the wonderfully clean warm fresh water. Loved the place.

An experience to make

Amazing place situated right on the water, with an astonishing view and very friendly staff. I enjoyed jumping directly in the water after waking up. After that, you go for a 20 min kayak trip and visit wild monkeys in the trees. Very good food and luxurious ambiente - with corresponding prices. I did not regret going there for a minute.

Exceptional stay on the lake!

We had an exceptional stay at these bungalows - sleeping in a bungalow on a lake is truly an experience! The resort is situated in a spectacular location, the bungalows are very nice and clean. Food was good and Staff was very nice too.

We had a wonderful stay at Rai 500. The boat transfer to the hotel was perfectly on time, which immediately gave us a great first impression. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who explained everything clearly and made us feel very comfortable throughout the stay. The hotel itself is extremely impressive, surrounded by stunning nature, and the floating pool is a real highlight that adds so much to the experience. It truly feels like a special and relaxing place, and we enjoyed every moment there.

500 Rai is special! We stayed with our two children and it was the highlight of our holiday. We will be back!

Almost everything, you have a beautiful resort and your staff were all fabulous. A special mention to your staff at the pier office who arranged for our bag to be delivered to our hotel in Krabi after we had left it on departure. We were very impressed, thank you!

The restaurant is not bad as mentioned in other comments. It is not super cheap but reasonable price, considering we are IN the middle of a super huge lake. Nothing to complain. Perfect view, people, kayak...
