Pleasant stay
Overall very positive. Beautiful areas. Very friendly and helpful staff. Best localisation, close to everything. Unfortunately backyards with trash can be seen within the resort, not nice. Shower drainage had a strong bad smell nighttime.

Super sköna sängar. Vackraste frukost vyn.
Vi älskade detta boende. Vi blev så otroligt fint bemötta av en trainee tjej, Nita, och av Samaan som körde oss till rummet i sin lilla golfbil. 1:a intrycket är viktigt! Vi bodde i ett stort rum i den nyare delen, alltså ingen bungalow, sängen var magiskt skön! Städningen sköttes utmärkt. Det fanns en vattenkokare och en liten kyl. 2 vatten om dagen ingick. Frukosten hade stort utbud, frukost vyn var fantastisk! Om man ska säga något kritiskt så skulle frukost personalen kunna vara lite alertare. Ofta tog t.ex. kaffekopparna slut eller så var det kladd kring kaffemaskinen som det tog lång tid innan det torkades av. Men detta egentligen en petitess. Dagtid hängde vi antingen vid en pool (nr.2) eller längst längst bort under träden på Phra Nang beach. Dagtid är det plågsamt mycket folk i Railey särskilt i början av Phra Nang beach ( vid grottorna) men även inne i stan på restauranggatan. Men bra nog får inga båtar lägga till på Phra Nang längre, detta är ju en väldigt speciell och väldigt vacker Bech. Men, tyvärr, desto fler longtail båtar lägger till på stranden inne i Railey. Dagtid massor med folk. Morgon och kvällstid är det lugnt och stilla, därför var det så skönt att bo på hotell i själva Railey och inte komma dagtid som typ gäst från AoNang eller Krabi och bara trängas med folk för att sedan åka hem.

Doesn't miss! Great stay.
Great spot. Super quiet and tropical. Super friendly staff. Went out of way to look after us, easy to store bags, easy to buggy us to room and back when needed. Breakfast was pretty damn good too. Great location, use the hotel long tail boat from Ao Nam Mao Pier, makes life so much more comfy with the tractor they ferry you out to boat in and buggy on the other side. Great service to make travelling with two young kids a breeze.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this resort. The grounds are lush and green with beautiful pools to relax around. Monkeys played in the trees above us. The resort spans the space between the east and the west side of the peninsula and the beach is gorgeous. The breakfast was great, the staff were absolutely delightful, rooms were spacious and clean. Everything is very walkable- restaurants, massages, tours, minimarts, souvenirs are all close by.
Loved it!

Don’t cheap out, stay somewhere else
Terrible experience and the pictures on the internet are from long ago. The bed was like plywood and we both left with aching backs. Service was poor except they will smile and be friendly at the front desk. Our room was beat down with broken plumbing fixtures, hand prints on the windows, staining on top of the mini fridge and pillow in the tub. The air conditioning barely worked and even had to call maintenance to reset the machine, and prior to that they had to clear our toilet which was backing up. The steps in this room are awkard and dangerous, with poor lighting. The hardwood floors were super creaky and slippery with socks. I think the worst of it was having chipped coffee mugs and bowls at breakfast then they left dirty plates in front of our room for two days even when they were there turning down our beds at night…very strange.. I guess we got what we paid for.

Fantastic!
Last minute change of plans and managed to book this hotel for one night (as we loved the area and didn’t want to leave on the last boat back at 6pm) No problems at all and hotel staff went above and beyond to be helpful to us! Breakfast was very limited and serving dinner food only downside, overall we loved it will stay again one day!

Jungle vibe with breathtaking beach views
Resort has jungle vibe. Very nice location, right by the beach. Breakfast area is simply amazing, you will be breathless when you see it. Resort entrance is right next to pier so very easy to use transfer boats or you take a day tour to visit other islands (Phi Phi or others) and on the other side of resort there are many boats that goes to Ao Nang and etc. Very highly recommend this hotel if you’re staying at Riley beach

Enjoyable stay
We enjoyed our 3 nights at Sand Sea Hotel.
It is a very big hotel with entrance on both sides of Railay. I was glad I requested a room near pool on Western side.
The staff are lovely and very efficient.
Our room was very nice but we didn't have hot water on one day. The shower did lack maintenance.
The pool didn't have enough shade so it would be good if they had a staff member watching deck chairs that are "reserved" with towels only for the guests to leave for hours and return when they were ready.
The breakfast buffet was good and I would like to return.

Good location, run down resort.
The location is amazing but the resort is extremely outdated. The entire place is poor maintained. We stayed in one of their expensive villas. The water pressure in the bathroom was non existent. The outdoor shower was so filthy and they never swept the hairs from the floors.
