Description
Sand Sea is yet another bungalow village, and provides a good, solid mid-range option for a vacation at the beach. We found the rooms well-designed, clean and bright, and the fan rooms stay quite cool even in the heat of the day. It's probably the best value on this side of Raileh, with a good pool in the shape of a big foot. Service is prompt and professional, though some Travelfish users have found the staff a bit surly and distant. It's particularly popular with families. Rates include all applicable taxes and breakfast.

day visit to Raileh enough -

feel it worth noting that Raileh is a building site at the moment, HUGE work going on east beach. West beach very busy, full of hawkers, ok for swimming, water cloudy.
Scenery is stunning but as Raileh appears to have no community, recommend stay in Krabi (Krabi City Seaview hotel is good) and visit for the day by longtail, 100 B per person each way.

Not a good experience -

I have to agree with each of the prior comments. The staff is quite indifferent, but it's difficult to blame them. The only community are the western tourists. It's obviously tough to avoid anywhere on the Andaman Coast, but quite pronounced at Railay. I felt as though I didn't want to inconvenience the staff, which is a strange way to go through a holiday.
Something like a bad vibe here... -

I admit Raileh Beach and Laem Phra Nang beach are beautiful. staying in raileh feels a bit surreal though. Because it's not accessible by road, it's quiet, but also there is NO thai community there. none at all. Rock climbing, some decent resorts, lots of construction underway, a hairdresser, couple of corner stores, bookstore, and internet service. And a massive super-premium resort that is off-limits and doesn't seem to have guests. The fact that there is no community may have been the reason why the service, meals, and general attitude was the worst we had anywhere in Thailand. Not mean or rude, just generally indifferent. And I don't blame anyone there, just a result of there being no real community and way too many tourists. To give perspective, Sand Sea offered us the 4th nite free halfway through our stay, and we left after the 3rd nite... and make sure you eat at the restaurant next to Sand Sea... Sand Sea food is not freshed and not particular very good.
Clean and comfortable -

Sand Sea has upgraded their pool area, set close to the beach and the bungalows, which nestle discreetly into the garden. The location is great, a little shop is available for last-minute purchases and the thai massage service is great value for money. We found the staff to be quite surly and distant, but our stay was very pleasant otherwise.

Railay Bay is a large complex that is a classic example of a place that has substantially upgraded its accommodation but forgotten to tell its staff they need to upgrade their attitudes. The restaurant staff here, in particular, are appalling and probably wouldn't notice if you passed out in your... more
