Sand Sea Resort

We stayed in a deluxe air con room and my son and his girlfriend had a standard fan room. Both were excellent and the standard of cleanliness was high. The pool and the beach are lovely. However, the service left alot to be desired. We'd booked direct with the hotel and had paid for airport collection. No one turned up and when we telephoned they denied any knowledge of our booking until we quoted a voucher number. When we eventually arrived in reception there was a very half hearted apology and they hadn't bothered to add our names to... more

Railay is wonderfully idyllic as you might imagine. The beach is lovely and safe for kids. Only 3/4 resorts are based on this particular beach and whilst Sand Sea is nice I don't think we would go there again. We had a deluxe family room with Air Con (a must) for five nights. The room was clean and had all the basics you might require. The pool area is also good and right on the beach. The restaurant however leaves something to be desired. We only bothered with breakfast once - the choice wasn't brilliant and everything was covered in... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 days in March. I'd been to railay before (backpacking) so the Sand Sea was a step up for me!! Hotel is in a great position right on West Railay beach, which is beautiful. There are only 3 or 4 resorts on this beach and they're quite well set back in the palm trees so don't spoil the view. The restaurant for Sand Sea is right by the beach as well - a great spot for breakfast. Breakfast was included and was better than I'd anticipated from previous reviews on here. There's fruit, cereal, toast, rice /... more

Nice set of bungalows on the famous Railay beach with amazing views. Food and the staff are average, but the location is perfect!

I recently stayed at Sand Sea Resort at Railay Beach, near Krabi. It is a gorgeous place to spend a few days. The hotel is very well run. We had no problems at all. The service was excellent, the room was clean and even though we were in the cheaper room it was very acceptable and adequate. The staff are very friendly. The swimming pool is lovely and the resort is right on the beach which is an ideal spot for viewing some great sunsets. I will return sometime.

The setting for this place is very nice; lots of greenery and right on the beach. The room we had has seen better days. The pool area is not very big and was full the two days we were there. The beach is shared with three other hotels and was quite busy and you had to deal with peddlers while trying to relax and sunbathe. To get to this place, you have to take a boat. It makes you feel a bit isolated, although there is another side of the island to explore that you can walk to. The buffet breakfast was average; not much of a variety.... more

Spent time there in November 2004: great place. Simple, but clean - no baths (showers) - villas set off a fabulous beach. Recommend it. Also recommend the places to eat along the beach - great Thai food.

Railey Beach is so beautiful and can't wait to go back there. Sand Sea bungalows were basic but reasonably clean, and would definitely stay there again. They're good value and the swimming pool is a real bonus. The breakfasts were the only real let-down. There was hardly any choice and there were often lots of flies around the food, but the rest of the meals were lovely. Would definitely recommend as a good mid-range choice.

The Sand Sea Resort bungalows are located just a few steps from a beautiful beach. There are some restaurants at that beach with great thai food! I loved staying at the Sand Sea.

Sand Sea Bungalows enjoy a prime location on "Sunset Beach" (Rai-Leh West). There are a wide variety of bungalows on offer to suit various pockets. The staff are very friendly and helpful and there's loads to do in RaiLeh. Highly recommended.
