We felt that the staff and even the guests were unfriendly. The location is great, we loved the pool, we loved Railay, but not sure that we'd choose this hotel again. We has the room overlooking the pool and it was the most expensive accommodation of our trip but in general we just didn't feel welcome here, especially compared to... More

Location: Beachfront to the beautiful Railey West Beach. Great swimming, sunsets and when the tide is low, you can explore the caves not accessible at high tide. Do this activity with care as the tides can change quickly. 20 mins walk to beautiful Phra Nang beach along a concrete track. 10 mins walk to Railey East where there are restaurants,... More

We stayed at the Sand Sea on Railay West in March. We booked into a Superior Bungalow for 5 nights at a total cost of $665. The rooms themselves were not overly extravagant but were functional, comfortable and decently sized. We have however, stayed at much better for much less. The breakfast buffet was decent and the pool area quite... More

The resort is in the most beautiful location sat right on the beach of gorgeous West Railay. On this basis I would recommend the hotel, especially as it is pretty reasonably priced compared to other hotels on this side of Railay. We stayed in a fan room - it was pretty basic - decent sized, dated decor and not too... More

The rooms are very dirty and when we complained, they conventiently forgot how to talk english. They didn't seem to really care about customers that are unhappy. The sheets were stained and we asked them to at least replace them with clean ones. We got cleaner ones but they were still yellow and dirty looking. The top sheet was torn... More

Sand Sea is the lowest priced resort on West Railay and worth looking at over the other hotels. Yes, it's not quite as nice as the others but the price makes it worthwhile. The Good: Pool was really nice and provided some much needed shade in the afternoons. Free WiFi - in lobby / restaurant only though Staff reacted quickly... More

I stayed there at a friend's recommendation when planning 5 nights on West Railay Beach. It was very overpriced considering what we paid elsewhere in Thailand and Laos but I think that's pretty par for the course in touristy Southern Thailand and, in fairness, there aren't a ton of options to choose from in West Railay Beach. From what I... More
