Rawai Palm Beach Resort

An excellent hotel with a very good location. The service—both at the reception and in the restaurant—was very good, and the travel agency was excellent. The room was very clean and spacious, and the pool was great. Everything is 100% recommended.

Rooms were beautifully, breakfast was fantastic.

As a single mother of three, travelling to the other side of the world can feel quite scary, especially when you’re travelling to a country you’ve never visited before. But sometimes you just have to be brave, take that leap and go! ❤️✈️🌴

I booked our trip through Loveholidays and the whole process was incredibly smooth. When I booked the hotel, the description clearly stated that some construction work would be taking place. This didn’t bother me at all because our rooms were soundproof and the workers were quiet, respectful and considerate.

In fact, we watched the new breakfast lounge being built during our stay, and by our second week we were actually enjoying breakfast there every morning! 🥰

I also chose to ignore some of the negative reviews because everyone’s experience is different, and I genuinely believe that how you treat people is often how you are treated in return. From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff were warm, welcoming and so lovely.

I especially want to mention the cleaning and housekeeping staff. I intentionally left money out on my dressing table on a few occasions, and not once was it touched. Everything was always exactly as I had left it. That really stood out to me and gave me such peace of mind, particularly as I was travelling with my children. ❤️

We stayed for 21 nights and honestly had the most incredible holiday experience. ❤️

The swimming pool was one of our favourite things. It was surrounded by beautiful jasmine and mango trees, and while swimming you could smell the jasmine in the air. It was honestly one of the most relaxing experiences. 🌺🥭🌴

I loved the little tiki bar in the pool and also made good use of the gym. The drinks and lunch menu were delicious and very reasonably priced. Another bonus was that there were no strict time restrictions on using the pools. Some evenings we would swim at night alongside other guests, which was such a lovely atmosphere. 🌙🏊🏽‍♀️

And Thailand itself… WOW. 🇹🇭❤️ There is SO much to see and explore.

I downloaded the Grab app, which was brilliant, and on a few occasions we even ordered food straight to the hotel. I also became friends with a lovely local taxi driver who gave me her WhatsApp number. She ended up taking me and my children around different parts of Thailand, allowing us to experience the authentic culture, see places we probably wouldn’t have found ourselves and enjoy local prices for food and activities.

That was one of my favourite parts of the whole trip getting away from the tourist spots and experiencing the real Thailand. 🥰

Rawai itself is also such a beautiful location. 🌴❤️ There are plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and places to explore, and everything is so accessible and easy to reach. We loved being able to step outside and have so much around us while still having that peaceful, relaxed feeling that Rawai is known for.

So if you’re sitting there wondering whether you should be brave enough to travel somewhere completely new, especially as a single mum, this is your sign. ❤️

Be bold. Be brave. Try something new.

Thailand felt incredibly safe, the people were beautiful and welcoming, and the whole experience was genuinely magical. 🌴🇹🇭✨

Sometimes the biggest adventures begin with simply being brave enough to book the ticket. ❤️✈️
