Sunrise Tropical Resort

Sunrise Tropical is perfectly positioned on the East beach, if you are staying here I highly recommend you come from Ao Nammao Pier and NOT Ao Nang - this will mean no drop-offs in water as both ends have piers and Sunrise is positioned next to the East beach floating pier, so no dragging your case around searching for your accommodation. The welcome was super friendly and being a previous guest we were upgraded to a villa with the outside shower which was appreciated. The resort is small in number of rooms with the villas spaced separately around the well kept tropical gardens. It was great to sit outside in privacy and watch monkeys and even a giant monitor lizard. The villa we had was spacious, the outside shower was great even if the water pressure was terribly lacking, but it was super refreshing on some very hot days. The whole place has a slightly rustic vibe which really reflects Railay. Breakfast is ok. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant at night this time but there seemed to be some good specials and a lot of outside guests using it at night. The staff are great and the location is perfect to access everything in Railay. Our only regret was not staying longer, but I have no doubt we will be back for an extended stay. Tips: If you want the best cocktails in Railay go see Bang Bang - at Bangs Bangs bar
