    Great place for a short trip!

    Great place for a short trip! We stayed 2 nights and found was the right amount of time. There are 3 beaches but only 1 is fully enjoyable for swimming, exploring with kayak and sunbathing. Railay East is mainly a pier for embarking and disembarking. Doesn't have clear water due to the muddy sea bottom. It gets so shallow that there are no boats reaching the pier after 1pm, they will take you to the 3pm ferry on a combination of a truck and a long boat. West Railay is a breathtaking sunset spot! A lot of bars and resorts, many many many long boats and a lot of pollution! It's definitely worth a visit for the sunset. In general quite an expensive location, for food accommodation and drinks. No shopping bargains in Railay. All shops work on set prices, 2 to 3 times what you would pay in Phuket for the same items. Even more compared to Bangkok. Shop staff are quite unfriendly too.

    Gorgeous location, absolutely stunning natural cliffs, rocky island outcroppings, warm aquamarine water. An old style beach town that is rare to find these days. Great diversity of restaurants, (the Indian food place was one of the best anywhere) cafes (mango sticky rice!), and local shops along 'walking street', fabulous to just lay on the beach, but hiking, rock climbing, scuba diving schools/rental equipment/excursions, are available for the more adventurous. A little difficult to get to (long tail or speedboat only) - which keeps it remote, peaceful and relaxed - no ridiculous night life, family friendly, local, easy going, picturesque peninsula on the Andaman Sea. We booked a group boat tour around PhiPhi islands - boat was delayed, then broke down in the middle of the Sea, luckily a passing boat provided a 'spare' propellor!!! PhiPhi island visit was just a lunch stop, and basically a huge cafeteria line with spaghetti and fried chicken, ugh. Snorkeling, boat diving, cave hiking, discovering empty beach coves along the way though, were all incredible. Visiting "The Beach" lagoon was picturesque, but incredibly overcrowded - no wonder they don't allow swimming in the lagoon. Toilet facilities on PhiPhi and The Beach were best left unvisited, unless absolutely necessary. The tour was 8/10, but the adventure of it all was 11/10. Railay is well worth a 3-4 day stay, some of our neighbors were staying 2weeks and longer over the new year's holiday. It's an absolutely beautiful, relatively undeveloped resort area, with great food, spectacular beach life, stunning views, and friendly and welcoming local people

    Fantastic staff in every area, room is spacious, beautiful and clean with a nice balcony. Food is delicious from room service and very quick. Love the location of resort ( check in is at east railway beach but our room was close to west Railay which they gave us a ride to- very much appreciated)

    This is not for anyone travelling with a disability.

    This is not for anyone travelling with a disability. Depending on the tide , will depend on where you are dropped off. The long tail drivers did not help at all getting off the boat or with luggage.Had we been at the other Quay life would have been easy. There was no one there to greet us and our hotel was on the other side of the island a long way to drag luggage.. This is a young person's resort the smell of weed is all over the island. The THAI people don't have the same attitude as elsewhere as they have a monopoly.

    The longer you stay, the more you discover.

    The longer you stay, the more you discover. Railay has a few hidden gems that are worth exploring. We discovered a few favourite spots for dinner, both in the walking street as well as in Railay East. The sunset on Railey West or the Phra Nang beach are breathtaking. We recommend hiking up to the viewpoint, and if you are brave climb down to the lagoon. We also enjoyed renting a kayak during the day, and do a night tour to see the bio-luminescent plankton. Worth noting: If you book a tour on Railay East, it is often quite a bit cheaper, and priced for backpackers who stay on this side of Railay. The tours themselves are typically of the same quality. The most buzz happens in the walking street between East and West Railay and on the West beach.

    The property was gorgeous and quiet.

    The property was gorgeous and quiet. The room was beautiful and the bathroom was exceptional. The pool was great too. The only downside was the beach itself - rough sand, not as beautiful as the other side of the island. So the hotel itseld was absolutely wonderful but the beach was not.

    The room was huge, very comfortable and clean. The bed was enormous and comfy, I like the configuration of the bathroom (separate shower and toilet), the day bed on the balcony was great. The hotel staff were super helpful and friendly. The location is excellent. On Railay East, which is a little quieter than Railay West. Walking distance to Phra Nang Beach (the nicest of the beaches). Walking Street between Railay East and West is just behind the hotel (3 min walk so you don't get the noise of Walking Street at the hotel).

    Best hotel Best location!! Very close to pier (west Railay) and very near with night market, you just walk about 5 mins to market. There's minimarts , restaurant near the hotel. Very convenience! Staffs are very nice. Breakfast is good, it's variety. Good coffee (coffee machine) , No bottled water in the room but they prepared tumbler for customer in the room and you can get the water from water dispenser in the hotel.

    Breakfast great plus a la card, so you can get almost everything. Three different beaches, great pool area. Amazing resort area with a lot of different plants: all is nice and green. Some bars and restaurants in the neighbourhood and small bazar street. Special thanks to Suzi she assisted us from the beginning, she took care of us and organised a birthday surprise for our baby boy. 200% recommended hotel!!!!

    This is a cheaper place to stay in Railay so you should expect a more basic resort. Location is great - everywhere in Railay is easily walkable and it's very close to the East pier which is the best place to arrive and depart by speedboat. Good size room, decent breakfast and quiet complex. Nice views of the Diamond Cave cliff face.

    The location of the hotel is fantastic and offers a very nice view, gardens are beautiful. The service of « tuctuc » to bring you to the beach is really helpful. I enjoyed the breakfast but regret that the restaurant was not opened for dinner but there are many restaurants around Railay East and Railay West.

    Views are wonderful, it's one of the only hotels in Railay uphill with those views - but still only 10 min. walk to the shops and beach. Bed was super comfortable, no noise from neighbors, big breakfast buffet and lovely staff. Loved our Deluxe Double room with a balcony.

    Gorgeous resort, beautiful room, ginormous bed and hot tub. The swimming pool was fantastic, with some hydro-massaging jets and a swim-up bar. Extensive breakfast buffet and walking distance to the beaches on the South and West. Wish I had stayed an extra night.

    We never stayed at Sunrise as it was closed. We were relocated to Sun Sand Resort which is on the prettier Railey West (rather than East). Their pool and breakfast area is very nicely situated at the beach. Location wise it was perfect

    Great affordable resort. Located at Railay West beach, which is way better than the East side. We had connected poolside rooms which were quite big. Lovely restaurants in the neighbouring street. Several times monkeys in the resort.

    Railay Beach is amazing, I loved it. This resort was a little bit tucked away from others, which I didn't mind in such a small town. Everything was great here. The beds, room, bathroom and pool were all lovely. Highly recommend.
