Tonsaibay Resort

Really nice hotel at a fair price. Well located by the beach. Ideal for visitors of Tonsai Beach.

Clean rooms, good air conditioning, absolutely amazing location for nature. BUT almost zero amenities to access. You must take a boat to go anywhere and get anything. Which during certain tides can be a challenge.

Stayed in the superior semi detatched cottage. This was towards the back of the complex where the entry/exit gate was. The rooms were lovely & spacious, decorated clean & moden style. Lovely shower with hot water. We arranged to be met at the airport by staff, driven to Ao Nang pier & boat to the hotel which all went well. The place was beautiful and very peaceful. We had one problem with the accommodation that night the place was full of ants by the doors and windows inside the property, these ants bite. There were gaps in the sliding patio doors and it was the same for the property next door (think it was 116 & 117) We complained to front desk and they moved us immediately. We were moved down closer to reception where the cottages were up about 4 stairs and not completely ground level. They also had much better fitting doors. Also beware that due to this being a very quiet resort if you want to get the boat to any other beaches or Ao nang for any trips its 800 bhat each way, I had a couple of trips booked and had to pay x 4 including the trips unless you can get enough people to share costs. Most other places it 100 - 150 bhat. Also check which water you use from mini bar some are free some are pay for. That said the staff were lovely, great breakfast cooked to order with plenty of choice. The snack bar/restaurants were excellent with great menu choices. I would definitely stay there again but not book any trips from there and stay in newer cottages or sea view.

There were bunch of ants everywhere and the staff were not very welcoming

Amazing experience. Tonsai is a climbers paradise. The hotel is super clean and staff are amazingly helpful.

It’s like going in family home.

The staff, the breakfast, the smiles, the seclusion. I can’t put my finger on the best. So I’ll say this resort is the best. In my experience. Thank you Tonsei staff and resort

Clean and well equipped room. Very friendly staff. Amazing location with fabulous views and atmosphere. However, we didn’t go to breakfast at the resort restaurant after being scared off by the food poisoning reviews (lots of them) on google but no issue ourselves. We went to the Monkey Bar instead, which is next door which was excellent. The illnesses could however be linked to people going in the sea as the monkey bar had no such reviews and is linked to a hotel with a pool so perhaps less people going in the sea! The area needs a sewage system and after heavy rain there was obvious signs that sewage was discharging near the pick up and drop off boats which you have to wade to!!! Yes this can occur in any country but there were several signs of sewage directly entering the beach even before the storms. I do recommend this place as overall its more quiet that Railay but you need to manage the situation to stay well. If you need western standards then visit this place as a day trip as it is a fabulous environment overall and a cool hangout for climbers. You can also avoid the boat sewage by walking the easy short scramble from Railay West but this can be subject to tide unless you’re happy to get a bit wet. Overall a fabulous place!

Pent rom, fin natur. Lite å finne på.

Tout était superbe

Things to watch for. Upon check in there’s a 5% charge on the bill for using a credit card. Unless you are a series rock climber there’s nothing much to do. The longboats try and rip you off. Take cash as I didn’t see any ATMS and a couple of times paying for food/dinner cash only. That said rooms were very clean staff lovely. Would I go back… No

The room was very clean and big. Gray atmosphere

I did not like that the 5% surcharge for using credit card for hotel room fees wqs not disclosed up front when booking via expedia. 5% is alot to charge on room fee espcially when it is not disclosed in advance. Unacceptable and dishonest by hotel and expedia not to make this clear when booking the rooms.

God placering. Mere stille strand men tæt på Rallei beach.

We loved the location. Very secluded from the neighboring Raily and Ao Nang beaches. The room was very comfortable and AC worked great. They also had a decent breakfast buffet and restaurants. The front staff was nice, but the restaurant attendants could be more attentive to customers. Transportation from the resort was also not easy to get. Although they had a dedicated long boat, we rarely saw it near the resort and you had to pay extra if you did not have at least 6 passengers. I feel this should be included with the stay.

Fantastisk resort. Flotte hytter med deilige store senger! Utrolig hyggelig og positive personale. Nydelig rolig sted med fin strand. Vi booket transport fra flyplassen til resortet via dem og det fungerte veldig fint. Booket også transport fra Tonsai til Krabi bussholdeplass Det var også problemefritt. Kan virkelig anbefales!!

昨年より改善された点。タオル交換毎日。湯沸かしポットが部屋に設置された。窓を開けると排水溝から酷い匂いが悪い点。エントランス側と裏では部屋からの景色が違いすぎ。スタッフはフロントの一部を除きフレンドリー。

Hotel incroyable avec une plage sublime Acces par taxi boat uniquement .endroit sauvage et tres calme Nombreux restaurants acces par une randonnée a la plage de ralay Top top top

5 nights at Tonsai and I would definitely go back. Room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Restaurant was good. Ocean front breakfast was so peaceful. Off season so only handful of people around. Climbing access on the beach cant be beat. Definately checkout old Basecamp and local food options in jungle above resorts.
