Surrounded by greenery and cliffs, Tonsai Bay Resort is a 2-minute walk from Tonsai Beach and offers villas with private balconies. It features a diving centre, beachfront restaurant and bar.

Tonsai Bay Resort is reachable via boat only by a 10-minute boat ride from Aow-Nang Pier, which is a 30-minute drive from Krabi International Airport.

Maybe the best location in the Railay Peninsula, definitely the best in Tonsai Bay. The premises are well kept and nicely gardened, the staff are exceeding in friendliness and service. They communicate well and organize transport, the hotel restaurant has the best beachfront setting and the food, while marginally more expensive than the options hidden further back, is well presented and good after a day of climbing. Breakfast buffet is very good value, especially if you are a climber. The room at the main resort is excellent value. Contrary to reports, we had electricity all day almost every day in two separate one week stays in November. Amazing for a cooling afternoon nap when the conditions are too hot to climb anymore. We were warned that electricity would be down between 3-5pm, but I only noticed this 3 times in 14 days, so I think Tonsai Bay is running its own electricity generation. We received drinking water every day, the beds were made and room cleaned daily, and fresh towels were always available. Scented liquid soap and shampoo is provided. The room itself is simple, discrete and clean. The double mattress is firm and seemed quite new, and the sheets were smooth high grade cotton. The bathroom has an electric shower for hot water, a nice looking sink, new toilet and its own ventilation. I’ve stayed all over Railay and for the price, this set up is great value and very comfortable. Lastly, if you are a climber, at the doorstep of the resort is the Rock Shop whose owner writes the Thailand guide for rock climbing. He currently has the most comprehensive gear rental on the peninsular, and definitely the best local knowledge on routes which he is happy to share. There is a shop adjacent where you can buy large 6L bottles of water and do laundry. The popular climber’s bar under the Tonsai Roof is a short walk around the corner and thankfully out of ear shot, so sleeping at Tonsai Bay Resort was always deep and quiet.

We were staying at Railay Bay first but my family decide that wanted to stay longer, and we moved to Sand Sea Resort, and what a surprise!! The staff is very very friendly and always with a smile! The breakfast is much better than in Bay. And the room was always clean and with water and good AC. I totally recommend Sand Sea!! The manager Manop, was amazing, always trying to make us comfortable!! Thanks for everything!!

Stretching across the white sands of Railay Beach, Railay Resort & Spa offers spacious cottages set in tropical landscapes. It features free WiFi throughout, a beachfront outdoor pool and a restaurant.

The location was the best. Our villa was right next to the bar, restaurant and in front of the pool and beach. All we had to do in the morbing was open the front big glass doors to have a nice sea breeze nd amazing views. We also had a very private small pool in our private yard and waters and snacks in the fridge were complimentary. We stayed a week here but if I could go back I would have stayed the whole 3 weeks we are staying in Thailand. The beach itself was breathtaking and railay beach has enough bars and restaurants for everyone's taste and ages. We loved the fact that there's no car. Besides the birds' chirp and the wind in the palmtrees branches, the silence was absolute. We checked-out very early in the poring rain and they had our breakfast in bags already waiting for us and a ride to the est port. Everything went very smooth regardless. The personnel were wonderful and very welcoming . We are planning already on going back with friends.

    Tonsai Bay is a secluded bay surrounded by magnificent rock formations. This also makes it the downside of the resort besides the restaurant there aren’t that many options to go out for dinner. The restaurant however serves a good variety of different dishes. The villas are nice and comfortable with a balcony overlooking the bay. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

    This is the only resort with beach access. It has a chill atmosphere, perfect to rest for some days. Right at a beach is the hotel restaurant with delicious food for everyone. The staff has been really helpful, when we got sick (from a restaurant outside the Resort). Thank you again! Be aware: You can only access by boat.

    Tonsai Bay Resort is just the place to kick back and watch the world go by. It’s a haven for climbers and away, a short walk, from the more hectic Railay Bay. To sit on the beach as dusk approaches is sublime.

    This is a beach resort that is frequented by rockclimbers. excellent facilities. The beach is very nice. This resort is not extremely luxurious, has no swimming pool and a nice basic restaurant. Staff is very friendly. You can walk to another beach but you have to climb a little or walk at low tide along the beach. This neighbouring beach is rather touristic.

    Read the other reviews and this is what you get. The place suffered after COVID-19. What was meant to become a more fancy 'resort style' hotel never got finished. So there are pros and cons. The rooms are huge and you have 24-hr electricty so the fan and internet will work at all times. The rooms are unfinished (ceiling unpainted, some damage in the wooden walls), but for the price of a backpacker place it's good value. Management is friendly and helpful. For meals (incl. breakfast) you need to go somewhere else.

    The swimming pool 💙 The nature around and inside the resort, you could see and hear the birds. The room was quite spacious, nice chairs outside near the door. They give you a ride to the beach after stay. Good wifi and really nice breakfast, they cook you eggs on the spot and there's also plenty of choices.

    the vibe and the location of this place is just unbelievably magical . if you go rock climbing this is your place ‘cause you’ll meet likeminded ppl. it’s really quite, and doesn’t feel like touristic at all. now they are recovering from Covid but they are already getting ready for high season. if I come back to Thailand, I’ll make sure to pay them a visit :) if you expect some luxury resort, I think this is not your place to stay :) the place is just nice as it is, and it’s part of its charm.
