Sand Sea Resort Railay Krabi

Getting to this hotel is very easy. We flew from Bangkok to Krabi on a Thai domestic flight. It was quite affordable, and best of all, the 50-minute flight flew by in an instant. From the airport, we took a taxi to the pier, and from there an 8-15 minute boat ride brought us to an incredibly beautiful coastline. The hotel boasts a wonderful team of staff and a large area for walking. The room was clean and spacious, and in the mornings you could sometimes hear the patter of spectacled langurs—completely harmless creatures. On the downside, the shops along the coast are pricey, about 2-3 times more expensive than 7-Eleven. On the plus side, Ao Nang is just a 15-minute long-tail boat ride away, costing 100 baht per person. Ao Nang has plenty of great spots, including an elephant sanctuary (prices starting from 300 baht per person), an outlet mall, and a 7-Eleven. Generally speaking, 4-5 days at this peninsula hotel is plenty; after that, you start craving more activities. The breakfast at this hotel is simply amazing 🥺.

Rated 9 out of 10. The hotel borders the stunning Railay Beach, offering breakfasts and a swimming pool with breathtaking views of the mountains and the sea. The hotel grounds are huge, featuring 3 swimming pools, and are completely immersed in natural greenery complete with monkeys and monitor lizards, while remaining very well-maintained. The staff are very welcoming and attentive. The villas are spacious, cozy, and clean, equipped with all necessary amenities. Time spent at the hotel and in this incredible place (Railay) simply flies by, bringing immense joy and pleasure. I would love to return here again. Check-in is strictly at 2:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 PM (Note: 11:00 AM), but you can leave your luggage at the front desk and enjoy the beach and sea until evening, and upon return, take a shower and change clothes. Be sure to visit the neighboring picturesque beach along a scenic trail through rocks and caves populated by monkeys, and in the evening, take a stroll down the main street lined with bars and restaurants.

The cottage was recently renovated and everything was great. The breakfast selection hardly changes, but there's a good variety. There are many boats on the beach, and coral is exposed at low tide. We used to walk over to the southern beach.

Amazing hotel! We loved everything about it. We stayed in Tropical Villa #1010. Some reviews mention that they don't clean, but you just need to hang the 'Make Up Room' sign and everything will be fine 🙌. The housekeeping is wonderful, the room was kept very clean and tidy. The location of our villa was closer to the reception, which we actually liked better than being close to the sea. Our villa was slightly set back; the villas closer to the sea are right along the main pathways where everyone walks by. The reception is on the eastern side where the boats arrive, right at the pier, so you don't have to lug your suitcases anywhere, and the hotel staff grabs your luggage immediately. The resort grounds are huge, connecting the east and west sides of the island. Because of this, the walk to the beach through the hotel property is more than pleasant 🔥, and it only takes about 5 to 10 minutes depending on your pace 😊. There are monkeys, squirrels, monitor lizards, and beautiful birds roaming around the property. Breakfast is right by the seaside 🔥🔥🔥! There's plenty of food at breakfast; in late October, the fruit selection included watermelon, melon, papaya, and dragon fruit. The only thing missing was good-tasting coffee—they do have it from a machine, but it’s bitter and not very good. It's the same story at Cafe Amazon if you order hot coffee, though the iced coffee is not bad. There are three pools in total, but everyone hangs out at the pool by the sea. Sun loungers are available, and pool towels are provided. To get to Phra Nang Beach, it's about a 15-minute walk from the reception turning right. Wonderful Railay, wonderful hotel. Wishing you continued success ♥️♥️♥️

Great location just a stone's throw away, breakfast right on the beach, three swimming pools, and decent rooms.

Great location on Railay Island, and the breakfast has an amazing view 😍. The breakfast itself is just average—the Thai dishes are good, but the pastries and coffee are not great. However, there is an Amazon cafe right at the hotel where you can get good coffee. The room (a villa) is a bit dated and tired, but nothing too critical. We saw monitor lizards and monkeys on the property. To get there, you need to take a boat. The hotel boat and regular longtail boats cost the same at 100 baht per person, and the ride takes about 10 minutes. Overall, I recommend it—the views from the beach are fantastic!

This trip was with a large family, and we booked a total of 5 rooms. We drove our own cars and parked them at the company's office on the mainland, from where their tricycles or four-wheeled vehicles dropped us off at the pier. The staff provided great service. Upon arrival, the hotel was beautiful with a total of 3 swimming pools, making it very convenient as there is a pool to swim in no matter which corner of the hotel you are in. The hotel view is simply the best because I love the atmosphere for taking chill photos. That area gives an Amazon-like vibe with stunning views. In the evening, we had dinner at the hotel. As Muslims, we could dine with complete peace of mind, and the hotel is so thoughtful that they even offered a 20% discount promotion for dining at the hotel. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We will definitely visit again if we have the chance.

It has been a wonderful experience in charming locations. It is close to everything and everything is very well maintained. I loved the bungalows; they are set in a beautiful environment full of wildlife, fauna, and flora, and very close to all the pools. The breakfast is also quite good. To be honest, I can recommend it to everyone and would love to return someday.
