Dawn of Happiness

Wonderful location and overall has a great little vibe to it. It has a nice rustic and worn in feel to it with simple bungalows that do just the job. Nobody stays on the beach to sit in an air conditioned room right. Definitely not physically comfortable for most with bugs and sand almost everywhere but perfect for those that are happy with simple. Lovely people makes up for any issues.

Not a whole lot to be honest. Perhaps just the restaurant next door playing loud music from 7pm to 9. But it was not a big deal

The location was lovely. You can eat your breakfast on the beach. Walking distance to the pier for Railay beach ferries. Hot shower, WiFi worked in the room. Lots of hangers to dry clothes. Small supermarket short walk away. Others within 30 min walk. Restaurants on the beach also. KoDam kitchen nice.

The owners did not engage, even questioning if we were guests after 3 days. I was kept awake on two nights past 1am by chatting and chopping outside as the hosts had room right next to our bungalow. The room was super hot even with windows left open. 300 baht a day for a bike plus deposit plus keep passport.. We had better deal with 10 minutes walk. We ran out of water and they charge 20 baht for small bottle. Supermarket down the road has 6 large bottles for under 70. I expect to pay a bit more at resorts but this was excessive for water in my opinion. Breakfast was OK but they cook the fried eggs early so they are cold when you eat them. We asked about boat trips as we read another review how helpful they were here.. They basically said look on the Internet and phone some companies. Other small things that added up to us being disappointed about our choice here.

amazing location on a private beach, away from the touristy areas but still close to various activities (e.g. horse riding, pier to railay, kayaking). come here if you want to avoid tourist traps and really feel at home! the staff were super-friendly and there were so many cute dogs, cats and chicken roaming the properties. although breakfast was the same every day, it had a lot of variety: fried rice, fruits, eggs, drinkable water, coffee and bread - and it was free!

we went during hot season so our cottage was a bit hot without AC. there was a fan, which is nice, but the rooms could’ve used a bit of improvements. other than that, the cottages had a down-to-earth vibe that allowed us to connect more with nature. a little side note: on Saturdays, the neighbours play quite loud music until midnight, so bring some earplugs :)

Location is exceptional, just in front of the sea. You can enjoy a morning breakfast looking at the sea or a nice sunset from your cottage. The staff was really nice.

The cottages are not well equipped, they need to be renewed as the bathroom was in poor condition. Cleaning is not good, as the bed linen was dirty and the bathroom too. You can expect some insects or small animals in your room.
