I didn’t want to leave! It’s amazing! The hotel is well maintained, the staff is helpful. I’ll try to summarize. I think it’s more beautiful than what you see on the pictures. -location: 15min walk from Railey East Pier and the shops. It’s not that far and it’s a nice walk. It’s good that it’s away from the crowds and the view is beautiful. (Many hotels located in the center do not have the same beautiful view and landscape that we had, actually in the center you see the mangrove and the pier). -The hotel is quiet, all you hear is the sound of nature. I’ve read that some people complained about the noise from the long tail boats… we didn’t hear them. -room: wonderful. New. Well decorated. The view of the trees and the sea. Hot water in the shower always (every cottage has its own heating system I think). WiFi worked very well. Comfortable bed. -Pool: big, has a nice view, and you can order food during lunch. (Dome, the staff in charge of the food service by the pool, was so nice!). -Breakfast: good variety and delicious. Buffett with the view of the beach. (The coffee was expresso!) -Restaurant: there’s a wide variety, Thai and western, good quality and reasonable prices (same as eating at a restaurant) -Beach: hotel has a small beach, but it’s not so beautiful during the low tide. But you can walk 25min to Railey west o Phra Nang. -monkeys: we saw a family of gibbons (amazing) but they don’t approach people. -there weren’t mosquitoes -massage: you can book a massage in advance. It costs double as outside, anyway I do recommend it since the service is much better than outside and in a more private space (there’s a place near the pool)

Stretching across the white sands of Railay Beach, Railay Resort & Spa offers spacious cottages set in tropical landscapes. It features free WiFi throughout, a beachfront outdoor pool and a restaurant.

The location was the best. Our villa was right next to the bar, restaurant and in front of the pool and beach. All we had to do in the morbing was open the front big glass doors to have a nice sea breeze nd amazing views. We also had a very private small pool in our private yard and waters and snacks in the fridge were complimentary. We stayed a week here but if I could go back I would have stayed the whole 3 weeks we are staying in Thailand. The beach itself was breathtaking and railay beach has enough bars and restaurants for everyone's taste and ages. We loved the fact that there's no car. Besides the birds' chirp and the wind in the palmtrees branches, the silence was absolute. We checked-out very early in the poring rain and they had our breakfast in bags already waiting for us and a ride to the est port. Everything went very smooth regardless. The personnel were wonderful and very welcoming . We are planning already on going back with friends.

We were staying at Railay Bay first but my family decide that wanted to stay longer, and we moved to Sand Sea Resort, and what a surprise!! The staff is very very friendly and always with a smile! The breakfast is much better than in Bay. And the room was always clean and with water and good AC. I totally recommend Sand Sea!! The manager Manop, was amazing, always trying to make us comfortable!! Thanks for everything!!

Everything was great. The staff, the bungalows surrounded by nature, the animals on the resort. Great that there's a pick up service from the beach every 2 hours. Also possible to walk to Ao Nang center. The breakfast was super with every day different options. We wish we could stay longer, but you were fully booked and we understand why :) Thank you and till we meet again!

Located in Ao Nang Beach, 600 metres from Ao Nang Beach, Krabi Heritage Hotel provides accommodation with a fitness centre, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. This 4-star hotel offers a tour desk and luggage storage space. The hotel also offers free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service.

They stored our luggage since we got there before check in time which was great. The elevator was a huge bonus compared to other places we’d been staying that hadn’t had one. The breakfast was also probably the best hotel breakfast I’d ever seen. Just about anything you could want for breakfast, they had it. Air conditioning worked great. Short walk from the beach and other fun parts of Ao Nang.

    The hotel is well designed (some rooms more than others). Overall is a good place to stay. The beach is stunning but very noisy all day with the boats (not the fault of the hotel though)

    The views were stunning from the rooms, big lodge with modern design. our room came with Table and chairs on the balcony , outside seating on the porch and a site seeing platform on the side. Location is pretty good as not too far from the main strip but just far enough so that its quiet at night. Staff were friendly and attentive - our fan broke in our room and they fixed it immediately with no problems.

    If you're looking for a tropical experience this hotel delivers. The rooms are situated in a forest / jungle area and have the most spectacular view. The food was really lovely and the staff were all very kind and helpful. Loved the pool area and the bathrooms were very nicely designed.
