Explore 3-Star Hotels in Rayong City

This apartment is located in a residential area, very close to the beach and a wetland park. There are malls, supermarkets, and convenience stores nearby, making daily life very convenient. The exterior environment is a bit average, and it can be noisy if you're on a lower floor. However, the apartment itself is very clean and well-organized, and the staff are attentive. I was lucky enough to stay in a corner room for three weeks and absolutely loved the balcony – it's super spacious and faces the sea on one side. Sitting on the balcony at night, enjoying the sea breeze and stargazing, was incredibly relaxing. There's a kitchen with cooking utensils, so you can prepare your own meals. Do note that toothbrushes, toothpaste, an iron, and slippers are not provided. The price was very reasonable. I would definitely come back again if I have the chance.

We really loved the hotel, especially the villa we stayed in—highly recommended! It's set apart from the other rooms, so the only thing we could hear was the frogs in our own pond. Spotlessness was a solid 5+. The only minor drawbacks were that the trash can was a bit too small for a family 😄, and we really missed having hand soap, so we had to buy our own. Breakfast was decent—nothing fancy, but you certainly won't go hungry. However, we wouldn't recommend the restaurant itself; even with the discount, it ends up being a bit pricey. Stunning beach! We visited during the rainy season, so there were very few people, and it only rained once in the afternoon. A 7-Eleven and all the island's amenities are close by. A tuk-tuk to the pier costs 100 baht (for the whole vehicle), while getting from the pier works like public transport (20 baht per person).

Nice little split level duplex. 2 queen beds on upper level , with glass sliding door and own ac. Big double day bed and massive TV downstairs. Fridge and kettle. Separate shower and toilet. Bit of a communal seating area right outside. Owners very good communication and helpful. Rented scooter for 300.

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.

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.

Overall, the hotel left a fairly good impression, but there are a few things worth mentioning. The reception staff are very polite, listen to requests and feedback, and try to help. The swimming pool is clean, and you can rent a motorbike directly at the hotel, which is convenient for getting around the island. Renovation work is currently taking place, but it is not particularly disruptive. The breakfast is very basic and is not a buffet — you order from a menu. This may be because it is currently low season and there are very few guests at the hotel. We also had to change our room because the first one we were given was far from ideal. After the room change, things were better. Overall, it is a decent option for a short stay on Koh Samet, but the condition of the rooms upon arrival and the breakfast could definitely use more attention.

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.
