While my recent stay at the hotel had its downsides, there were some positives worth mentioning. The location was truly beautiful, with stunning surroundings that made for a picturesque setting. Additionally, the concierge staff were very helpful and friendly, going out of their way to assist us throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the hotel itself felt run down, with noticeable signs of neglect. We were also significantly overcharged compared to other guests, and to top it off, were charged an extra 900 THB for a bed that was uncomfortable and barely usable. This left us feeling frustrated and unfairly treated. Despite the lovely location and excellent concierge service, the overall experience left much to be desired.

Saman, Tong and Housekeeping was very helpful and hospitable❤️. The person who’s answering the phone wasn’t considerate at all. First, I requested for Conditioner and Tooth brush as it’s not in the room but the receptionist was sarcastic when they answered me and see the picture for the conditioner I don’t think this is the standard. Also, I asked for late checked out until 1PM only, but the receptionist said cannot be. Now, I have to wait for long for my check in in my next hotel, because the room is ready at 2PM. I HOPE YOU CAN BE MORE CONSIDERATE TO YOUR OTHER GUEST NEXT TIME.

The curtains at the entrance were a bit dirty. The hotel runs east and west, so it was nice to have a sea view. The bathroom was a bit dated.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments about the sea view and will address the issues with the entrance curtains and the bathroom. Your insights help us improve our services.We hope to welcome you back soon.Best regards,Sand Sea Resort, Railay

Hotel location on West railay is convenient and closed to walking street. Service is good but the room and other amenities are very old and obsolete. Need significant renovation for a 3/4 Star resort

My only problem with this place was the loud noise at 6 am. I called reception and they told me it might be a monkey. I am not sure if that's true as I didn't go to investigate it. And then at 8 am it seemed like people were singing outside. So weird.

Doesn't advertise that it is a halal hotel which was disappointing. Wifi didn't work, shower didn't work and the door to the cabana allowed geckos to roam in and out freely. Wouldn't really recommend. Staff was nice however.

Stayed here before and bungalow was lovely, this time I was disappointed. Bungalow was far from deluxe, everything is old and tired looking, beds had rips in them and the 3rd bed provided for my daughter was disgusting and hard. Bungalow was tiny and we could hardly move or get into bed with a third bed in the room.
Bathroom was very basic and far from deluxe, had mould and a vile smell of sewage.
Reception staff were lovely and friendly.
Porters were polite and friendly
Restaurant staff left us unimpressed, we went for a meal and they started closing the place down before we had even finished our mains at 9pm, no offer of dessert and they told us they needed to cash up so could we pay (even though we were still eating).
Pool area was littered with rubbish which I informed receptionist about but they just left it to blow off onto the beach. One of the pools on the east side was filthy.
Location is amazing but I’m not sure I will return to this resort again.
Also people need to be aware when booking that it’s a no alcohol rule, you can buy wine from supermarket to have with you meal but the hotel doesn’t serve alcohol which I totally respect based on their religion.

Good points - Easy access from the boats. Right on the beach.
Bad points - Old, tired, rooms which were not clean. Breakfast was very basic so we only went once. The same restaurant for lunch was carnage, very short staffed and food was pretty poor. People were leaving before getting served. Staff were generally nothing special. No alcohol served at this hotel but you can bring your own to the restaurant.
If you want something cheap and cheerful, this is for you. But it’s definitely only that.

Mieszkalismy w Tropical Willa Plus. To przestronny, komfortowy dom położony wśród tropikalnej roślinności. Górą wśród drzew przemykały stada małp które ochrona przegania ale, ku naszej radości , kilka razy udalo się nam zobaczyć. Śniadania są średniej jakości. Brak naturalnych soków mango czy ananasowego.
Plaża Raylay jest przepiękna ale do około godziny 10. Potem pojawiają się w duzych ilosciach chalaśliwe long boty i tłumy odwiedzajacych to miejsce turystów. Jeszcze piękniejsza, a zapewne najpiękniejsza na świecie, jest sąsiednia plaża Phra Nang. Najlepiej pojawić się na niej rano kiedy duża część jest w cieniu skał i nie ma tlumu turystow.

Grreat location straddling across from Railay East beach to Railay West beach. The biggest swimming pool has Railay west beach just fronting it. Reception staff helpful and courteous, showing service with a smile. Big and clean room, comfortable bed. Only 50m to the main food and shopping street.

It's wonderful to know our reception staff made your stay pleasant with their helpful and courteous service. We hope to welcome you back soon!Warm regards,Management TeamSand Sea Resort, Railay

Service was a little unclear sometimes, but overall pretty good. They charged us for bottles of water that we asked the concierge for which were complimentary in the room. The phone was also broken, but they sent someone to fix it. The shower water smelled a little weird also. Overall fun stay in a nice location with a beautiful view, but service needs a little work and the staff could communicate better with us and each other. 😁
