Railay is absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Providing you don't stay at the Sand Sea Resort. We stayed one night there in abject misery, and promptly left to stay at the far superior Railay Bay just next door. Dreadful service, unimpressive and very basic rooms, and to cap it all we were ripped off horrendously at... more

We had a wonderful time at Sand Sea! The hotel is almost directly on the awesome Railay beach - no more to ask for!!! Bungalow rooms spotless with good private bathroom and shower. Breakfast not so good, but food is cheap so bying a 2nd breakfast later on was not a problem =) more

We decided to treat ourselves but couldn't afford the air-con rooms which are over 2000 baht so we stayed in a fan room for 1350 baht, paying for 4 nights and stayed for 5, so a good deal. The rooms were a disappointment, in need of a makeover and had a musky smell. The shower was awful - scalding hot... more

Sand Sea is located on the best beach in Krabi and for a low budget holiday it offers so much. It is one of 3 hotels on Railay West beach and has a mixed group of guests from backpackers, families, and couples. I have lived in Bangkok for 3 years and it was my first time to Krabi (have been... more

The location is awesome, and the food is excellent, however, it's worth knowing a few things about the hotel. Your best off booking an air-conditioned bungalow - we upgraded and it was everything we expected. We'd previously been in a super deluxe with a fan, and the room was outdated, and monkeys jumped all over the roof all night... but... more

This place is really basic. It is actually pretty expensive for what you get. The buffet breakfast isn't very appealing. Flies everywhere. The bungalows are sort of dated. The staff is disinterested. The pool is small, but nice. The beach is okay. more

My brother was married on the 12th of July, on the beach in front of the Sand Sea Resort. The Sand and Sea staff were all fantastic, and went beyond the call of duty to make sure that his wedding was memorable. I thought the resort did very well, considering that there is no road access, and no power form... more

I absolutely recommend this resort. I had a great communication before the arrival to Reilay with manager who aranged all necessary and also offered extra. It is a great value place. I found out that AC room was not needed as fan was suffiecient durring the night in July. Everyday room was in an perfect order and fridge full of... more

This place is not an impeccable 5-star resort, but it is a very nice place and an excellent deal. If you stay on West Railay (MUCH nicer beach), and money is an object, this is the place to stay. Rooms aren't perfect, but they're acceptable. Pool is nice, and beach location is great. Decent buffet breakfast, and nice staff. If... more
