Sand Sea Resort, Railay Beach West Отдыхали в этом отеле с 9 мая по 15 мая 2012. Месторасположение отеля-отличное.Сам по себе отель- староват, конечно, но в целом-нормально. В бунгало убирали каждый день, белье и полотенца меняли каждый день. Однако- дают по 2 полотенца: 1 полотенце для тела, а другое- зеленое- пляжное. Не хватало маленького полотенца-для других потребностей. Когда у нас что-то упало под кровать и мы ее отодвинули( отодвигается очень легко- на колесиках) - то под кроватью был жуткий слой грязи и пыли- с полгода точно там не убирали! Возле входа в бунгало стоят кувшины с водой и поварешками- чтобы ноги от песка смывать- так обслуги никогда воду в них не наливала. Нам приходилось самим выискивать способы наливать туда воду (ведра-то в номере нет). Мы обрезали 5-литровую бутылку от питьевой воды , потом с душа туда набирали и носили в этот кувшин.Довольно однообразные завтраки: практически каждый день одно и то же. В завтраках мне, например, очень не хватало хотя бы одного блюда тушеных овощей в соку- чтобы была хоть какая-то подлива к рису. Потому как рис по-тайски суховат.Еще замечание (если администрация отеля обратит внимание, конечно)- чтобы молоко для кофе-чая- стояло на подогреве. Практически все время приходилось пить кофе с молоком в теплом виде, что не очень-то приятно.Очень не понравилось обслуживание в столовой во время заказа обеда или ужина: садились за грязный, плохо протертый столик. Когда официант приносил заказанные блюда, то даже салфетки на столик не клали - там вот вилки-ложки на грязный стол и подавались. Также не на каждом столике стояли вазочки с салфетками. С этим у них большие проблемы. Когда покушали- то счета на оплату не допросишься и официанта не дозовешься. Приходилось ждать минут 15-20.В столовой очень старые столы и стулья. Стулья страшно жесткие, тяжелые... Задница, извините, на этих стульях просто каменела. А вот в рядом стоящем ресторане (звездой побольше) - на таких же стульях лежат подушечки.По столам с едой могут лазить кошки- поэтому не оставляйте свою еду без присмотра. А то, пока ходите за забытым куском хлеба, ваше блюдо попробует какая-нибудь киса или местный скворец.Когда обедали или ужинали- все время с моря дует сильный ветер- прямо в лицо, что очень неприятно. У меня с блюда листики зелени просто слетали. Горячая еда быстро остывала. А вот в ресторане рядом стоящего отеля- на этот случай прикрывали окна прозрачными пластиковыми шторами. Но не в нашем отеле.То есть заботы о комфорте гостей в этом отеле не видно.Но еда в ресторане отеля- очень вкусная. Цены- самые дешевые среди других отелей.Но мы все -равно выбрали бы этот отель, потому как это самый экономичный отель на Западном побережье.
OK

Sand Sea Resort, Railay Beach West Very nice room, the only problem is the mosquitoes. The restaurant is not the best, but the one in the resort next door is excellent. Great location!

Sand Sea Resort, Railay Beach West Unfortunately there are now direct beside the pool area buildings which bring a lot of dirt, noise and dust.
Very good. Thank you!

Sand Sea Resort, Railay Beach West The hotel itself is located directly at the beach, has a nice pool and a great looking garden with enough privacy for each individual bungalow. I wouldn t save money and take the fan room again, the room was moldy and humid and just too hot in March to be value for money. Sheets are changed daily, staff is helpfull but the staff in the restaurant was slow, untrained and clumsy. Don t waste money on western food in sand sea resort, stick to thai. Highly recommended is the bbq fish there and a dinner table with sunset view. Pick up service worked nicely and their mini market is one of the cheapest ones on Railay beach. Slight drawback is that Sand Sea Resort is the pick up point for all the boats and dozens of exhausted travellers will wait infront of the restaurant. Be aware that Railay beach is very flat and at low tide looks like a swamp, we didn t know that and were disappointed in the beach quality.
booking through the website proved easy and convenient, no problems there

Sand Sea Resort, Railay Beach West Sand Sea Resort is situated almost in the middle of West Railay Beach with a path that leads to East Railay. Their restaurant overlooks the beach and the food and service is great.We asked for an air conditioned bungalow with twin beds and there is enough space for two lots of luggage.There is a pool, mini-mart, massage and booking office for tours.They also offer a transfer service that includes getting you to and from the longtail boat with your luggage without getting wet when the tide is out.I love this part of Thailand and plan to come back next year.
This holiday is the second time I have used Sawadee.com to book in Thailand and had no problems on either occasion

Sand Sea Resort, Railay Beach West Nice hotel and we lived in a superior bungalow near the beach. The staff wasn´t so friendly, but okej service. A bit expensive hotel, so next time I go to Krabi i will stay in Ao Nang instead and take a boat to Railey during daytime. The west side was very expensive, so whe walk to the east side att the evening and have dinner. Lovely beach!
Always great

Sand Sea Resort, Railay Beach West Hi, we stayed at Railey for almost 12 nights in total. Some of them here are Sand Sea resort. Here is a review of Sand Sea followed by a generall discription of Railey/Ao Nang.Sand Sea resortWe booked sand sea resort since our other accommodation was full. The bungalows are quiet and clean. The services personal swift and professional. The pool was ok, but a little bit shallow.The worste thing with Sand Sea is the price and the restaurant/breakfast. There are other places that will give you the same standard of living for less money. If you don t need a bungalow Princess resort offers the same quality of living for less money. Also the pool and breakfast is better there.The breakfast... Somehow they never have lids on the fruit and it is crawling with flies. Disgusting with 50-100 flies per fruittray. We also tried to eat at the restaurant. The problem was that it was halft full and that is way more than the staff can handle!!! Both us, and some other groups I may add, had big problems to get any of the waiters attention. They just stood chatting by the kitchen. I think half the restaurant left without getting their food or ordering.That said when you don t eat at Sand Sea it is a nice place. I recommend it if you are prepared to pay a little bit extra, don t want to take any chances regarding your accommodation and you want a bungalow. Or if Princess is full. ;-)Generall restaurantsHere is the deal. The example from above is not unique for Sand Sea. It is a general problem on many of the resorts at Railay. Don t be fooled to think this is the Thai way of service. It is not. Believe me. It is just a bad habit that the Railay resort restaurants have. So if you want service and food within the hour of your arrival take a walk to a restaurant instead of staying in your resort. There are some that are ok but I would recommend the restaurant that lies in the same building as the Last Bar(It is named the Last Bar) at Railey East. Very good Indian food, but don t worry they have great Thai and fresh seafood as well.Railey now and before:I have been to the Ao Nang area three times. Now, 2003 and 2004. And for those of you that have been here before I just want to tell you.... It is way, way, way more exploited(and expensive) now. Mainly resorts and the backpackers have almost(only almost) left.There are also much more people here and the beaches crowded in high season.If I come back it would be for the wonderful climbing. Even though Phra Nang beach (Hope I got the spelling right) is beautiful there are other beaches in the archipelago that are less crowded and almost as nice.BeachesOther than Phra Nang the beaches are pretty dull. They are full with loud longtail boats and the water is “dirty”. Better at the islands. Don t stay at Railay and Ao Nang beliving that those beaches are nice. Thare are way better ones.PricesAo Nang and Railay is very expensive for being Thailand.... If you can do your shopping anyplace else , do it. That includes everything from suits to T-shirts.
Ok

Sand Sea Resort, Railay Beach West 喜欢sand sea 的自然环境，可爱的小松鼠、小猫、小鸟，近在咫尺的沙滩，很美....如果浴室的花洒出水给力些，就很满意了
