This property served its purpose for us as a base for a couple of nights on Phi Phi. The pool area is nice and the rooms were comfortably sized and in good condition. The only negative of this property were the beds which were rather uncomfortable.

Adjoining room did not lock. Had them add a padlock to no one could enter my room. Safe locked. Staff needed to break into safe and reset it for me. Better hotels in more convenient locations for less money. Pool and dining were adequate at best.

Clean, quiet and friendly
The location of the resort is nice as it’s far enough away from the loud music in town and close enough to walk everywhere (5-10 minutes). We enjoyed lounging in the pool and found the rooms clean and tidy. The towels aren’t incredibly plush, but are fine for the job. The room is spacious, particularly with a wardrobe, we found it easy to keep our two suitcases out of the way. Had a nice washing line outside to dry the clothes which we utilised numerous times. The 1000 Baht bond for the room key was a bit of a surprise, as it wasn’t mentioned in the booking details.

The staff was extremely sweet and kind. However we didn’t have wifi during our entire stay. The facilities and room were okay, it is what you paid for. I appreciate it for what it is, the only thing was not having wifi so it was hard to look up stuff for the area.

Not the best place to stay, wasn’t very clean and there was never any staff at reception. Prepare for a long walk from the harbour as they don’t come to help your with your luggage. Is very basic and not like the picturs. Plus the beds are rock solid! Is good for just a short stay if your not using the room that much.

Ok sleep but needs updating
This was a nice hotel that was a bit out of the way. Very nice and quiet as compared to the beach hotels near the main area. The pool area was great. There was a hole in our duvet cover, but itbwas clean. The door was noisy (squeaky)and stuck a bit. Also, the safe was not fastened to the floor. It is better to carry your valuables with you.

not great
This hotel was wildly disappointing! We’ve been traveling for 4 months and this was our least favorite property! We had ants all over our room. The room is a crash pad and that’s it. The shower has no water pressure and doesn’t ever get hot. The WiFi also rarely works! I would not recommend and would not stay again.

Pleasant stay
To be honest I’ve read a lot of bad reviews one day before check in and I got very anxious. I booked the bungalow in first instance but after reading the reviews I paid to upgrade to the standard room, which I don’t regret at all. We had a pleasant time, not too much to complain apart from the bed and the pillow - they were absolutely terrible! We didn’t pay for the breakfast in advance and I think it was a great thing, because we checked to see if it was worth and it wasn’t at all. To simple, not nice presentation and the place was too hpt (no aircon).

אין מצעים לסמיכה והמים חמים לא עבודה, אכזבה
אני לא חושב הם מחליפים מצעים. הסמיכה ואחת הכריות בלי שום כיסוי. ביקשתי להחליף מצעים ואמרו לי שרק בבוקר, אחרי שהתעקשתי לקחו אותי לחדר של המצעים וכשראיתי שם ג׳וק הולך בין המצעים החלטתי לוותר על התענוג. כמו כן, לא היה מים חמים כי האטמור שהיה אמור לחמם אותם לא עבד. גם אחרי שביקשתי לסדר אותו הוא הפסיק לעבוד לאחר כמה דקות. שימו לב שביקשתי לשדרג אותנו מה והגלות לחדרים הטובים כביכול, וכל התיאור כאן זה בחדרים הטובים... מה שאומר שהבונגלות כנראה סיוט

Stayed here for 2 nights in August 2019 with my daughter, sister and newphew. As Phi Phi doesn’t have vehicles, the hotel is a good 15-20 minute walk from the pier. We had to get a local to call the hotel as the porter with the luggage trolley didn’t turn up, even though we had confirmation they would be there. We stayed in the bungalows, mostly for the cost, but it was very average and smaller than it looks in the pictures. Would be fine if you aren’t fussy and are looking for something cheap. Breakfast was alright, cereal toast and cooked eggs or pancakes.

Overall it is a good hotel
It is a bit far away from the pier than we thought, especially when you were carrying some luggage and walking along an uphill road in 41 Celsius degree. But later on, we found that you can hire a luggage trolly cart for only 40B. We did that on the day we left, so much better! The hotel was quiet at night since it is off the busy center town area. A lot of mosquitos. The hotel staff was very nice, offering us a cold towel and juice at our arrival. The mini fridge in the room was extremely loud.

The property was in need of an update in decor & furnishings. Breakfast very poor choice. For the cost of this hotel, there are far more superior cheaper hotels. The pool bar stock very few drinks, no Coca Cola! Not even beer. No activity amenities in the hotel. No room service. The hotel has such good potential and large open spaces. All staff I encountered were excellent, I hurt my leg and they moved me to a ground floor room so I didn’t have to climb the stairs.

Quiet part of Phi Phi
The hotel is good for the price you pay! Included breakfast, good front desk service, updated rooms. We stayed in the main hotel, so I can't say how the bungalows were. The hotel is a little ways away from Tonsai, which can be nice dive it's much quieter around the hotel. The cleaning service was so-so. Our beds were done, but never changed the 5 nights we were there. The towels were sometimes funky smelling... I think it may have been due to the fact most of the island hang dries their laundry. If you want to be close to the bars and restaurants and the island night life, you're better staying at a hotel closer to Tonsai pier.

BEWARE BED BUGS
I had a terrible time at this hotel and wouldn’t recommend it anyone. Each night I woke up with more and more bites. I had to spend a lot of money on medication and in my sleep I accidentally scratched them and they got infected. The hotel staff weren’t helpful and all and the apparent owner was so rude on the phone when I told him the room had bed bugs. Also, the pools so small that it’s like having a hot bath.

On expensive side = average stay
We stayed here for one night after walking by it while staying at another hotel. We decided to stay one more night so booked with them. Checking took a long time. At one point 5 staff were helping us because they could not find the booking. We were checked in at 1200 pm which was great. Room was clean and comfortable. There was a bad smell coming from the toilet but found that this a quite common in my Asia travels. Tv had only two English channels. One thing I really didn’t like was the bedding. It was flannel sheet and comforter. Because there was no sheet between the bed and comforter I wonder if they wash this every time? I’m guessing no because it was quite thick. Other than that the stay was in the expensive side for what you got.

Lovely stay
Stayed here 2 nights but extended to an extra night due to how much we loved it. Pool was amazing, rooms were exceptionally clean, cleaners did an an amazing job each day! Air conditioning was great, cooled down the room so quickly! Spacious bathroom and room in general! Would stay again! The only two downsides to the hotel is no bar and thin walls, so can hear others late at night! Overall a lovely place to stay!

Good but with a little effort could be amazing
Hotel and pool is lovely but it is Muslim owned/run and subsequently does not have a bar. You can buy cold bottles/cans from a shop 100m away and never got challeged when drinking at the pool. Breakfast not great but adequate and no proper onsite or very close restaurants. Pool in full sun making it actually too warn and has no shade at all, desperately needs better positioned trees or umbrellas. Having said this I have stayed here 3 times as it is a new very nice good valued hotel just a shame they do not do the little things that would make it amazing.

Good location - decent room
This hotel is perched on a hill - about 15 mins on foot from the main port. It is surprisingly quiet which is the main selling point - unlike other hotels/hostels located closer to the main tourist hub of town. The rooms are OK - though not outstanding. There is a pool which is decent.

Average with bad plumbing!
Check in was quick. Make sure you have 1000 baht cash as they want as key deposit and wont accept card. Wasn't an issue for us. Got to the room but it was not ready. They said half hour until it would be ready. I asked for another room. Room was full of mosquitos...we killed about 25 and got sick so told reception. They quickly sprayed the room when we were out and demolished them all. They provided plugs as the surrounding area is rife with them. We got bitten a few times so couldn't open the patio doors which was a shame. The plumbing was terrible. Our toilet would not flush properly so had to use toilet in reception area. Shower was one temperature, cold! Not ideal really which made the stay a bit uncomfortable. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean but bathrooms need a good scrub, lots of mould and mildew in the shower. It is quite a walk to the hotel from the pier, if I was to come to Phi Phi again I would stay closer to the pier. We chose this hotel on price mainly but next time I would spend a bit more. You dont get alot for your money in Phi phi unfortunately. The surrounding area is a bit untidy and smelly but the island itself is beautiful and has some amazing stuff to go and see. Overall an average stay.

Fine, but...
The location wasn’t the best, the recommendations said 10 minutes walk but it was at least 15-20 which is still fine but expected it to be a bit closer. When we got our room the toilett didnt work nor the hot shower (it was raining every day so that was crucial for us), the staff were handling it fine but wouldn’t say they were the nicest... Small room, small bed, crazy loud fridge but fairly clean. All in all a fine place but expect less then on the pictures, recommended for budget travellers who don’t mind the above mentioned.

Stayed here as part of our asia travels and was pleasantly suprised by how nice it was considering the cheap price and the odd harsh review. Found the staff lovely and helpful and the room itself was spotless and aircon was a life saver, not one bug in sight and far enough away from the hussle and bussle for a decent night sleep!
