Family-friendly Hotels in Koh Lipe

Every once and a while you enter a property that transports you to another plane—certainly physically, more than likely emotionally, and possibly even spiritually. Serendipity delivers on all fronts. The ocean-view villa made me pine for loved ones, as I initially felt guilty for experiencing such a property by myself. I imagined my folks opening the shuttered windows and gazing out at the sunrise each morning. I wished my niece and nephew were sitting on the villa-wide balcony, keeping me company. Yet as the days passed, I fell comfortably in love with being alone in such a magnetic space. Steps from the most intimate, private stretch of Sunrise Beach, Serendipity balances up-scale bohemia with laid-back sophistication. The owner, fortunately, is also a chef—noted in each dish served. Welcoming and gregarious, he was approachable without being overbearing. Honeymoon—yes. Intimate anniversary—absolutely. Elderly parents—possibly a challenge due to the inclined stairways. However, anyone healthy should be able to navigate the surroundings easily. Low season was a dream… Thank you, Serendipity. X, Sam

Bundhaya Resort is conveniently located close to the jetty, right in front of the beach, just 5-minute walk to Koh Lipe's Walking Street. I love the overall ambience and really like the room's interior. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcoming drink while checking in. The staff were also helpful, assisting with our luggage during both check-in and check-out. Overall, the service was excellent. The breakfast offered is similar to other hotels, but for Muslim guests, it's important to ensure which is the halal food. Please note that an iron is not provided, and there is no designated ironing area.

The room facilities is kinda old, and the location is on top of the hill. Therefore, in and out need to rely on the van. Before I booked I do read a lot reviews about this hotel, and I do have preparation of the room condition. Other than the old facilities and the old school hair dryer I don’t have much complaint. As this is all well compensate with the splendid sea view from the breakfast spot, the full view from the mountain top really amazed me. Also, the private beach is beautiful and calm. I enjoyed the sea breeze at night by the beach side. I will certainly come back to have a stay here by any chance.

Pros: the location is perfect, not far from the pier, from the entrance to Walken Street from Pattaya Beach. The sand on the beach is very fine, pleasant. There are sun loungers, there is shade from a tree, on the beach, there is where to hide from the sun. Right opposite the hotel there is a massage ”tent”. It was popular. Cons: old rooms. The breakfast is modest, but there are such delicacies as, for example, olives.

What a beautiful resort this is. Wonderful stay here in a sea view jacuzzi suite room. Room is big and beautiful. Thank you to the staff for beautifying the room with our request. The resort has 2 swimming pools. 1 of the inner shared among the pool access rooms while the other is infront of the beach bar. They also provide massage services right by the lobby area. Very relaxing throughout the entire stay. They also have a 1 for 1 cocktail promotion from 4-8pm daily. Breakfast is a wide spread of different food. From chicken rice to salads to self-make panini and even thai roti. Loved it. Walking street is located just next to the resort. Great convenience. Will return to this resort again if visiting Koh Lipe.

Positives: The hotel is well located close to the beach. The swimming pool is clean and has nice amenities for children such as slides. It is next door to ”walking street” The air-conditioning works well and there is a place to dry clothes after swimming on a hidden balcony. Great water pressure in the shower. Negatives: The check-in and checkout process was dreary with it taking well over 1 hour to check in. There's also a 10 minute waiting time on checkout to get your deposit back. So it's best to checkout and go have a coffee and come back for thr money later. You cannot check-in before 13:00, but you have to checkout before 10:00, well earlier than many other resorts on the island. The breakfast was not worth it with little variety and long cues form for a single small coffee machine. It's better to just go to the coffeeshop next door. The beds are harder than most people would enjoy. The island is beautiful and I spent 2 nights in this hotel, it was worth the money and you can work around most of the negatives easily

It was good in general but a bit below expectations from a pricey 4-star hotel. Territory is nice, breakfast is good. The rooms are not isolated well enough which led to insects and wild life making its way inside and us chasing it away. The safe broke down 2 days before our departure, so it was a hassle to wait for someone to open it, and it was not fixed the next day, so we had to carry valuables with us which was inconvenient.

It was a good stay but the WIFI connection got disrupted throughout our stay till will checked out today. Other than that, they should increase more indoor games like carrom, chess etc. The buffet breakfast was overall satisfactory but the can be some sugar control on the Thai Milk Tea. Will consider coming in future. Very courteous and respectful staffs, kudos to them all.

Excellent property located on the coolest beach on the island. Beautiful bungalow all in wood, spacious and furnished with antique wooden furniture. Huge well-kept bathroom. Perfect technological equipment TV, wi-fi, air conditioning and large safe. Recommended!

Looks quite new compared to other hotels, a/c works all the time even when you go out and take a card key which is very nice. And it cools down the room incredibly, a must in April and May. We liked the room but there’s an area for improvement: you can see some impurities here and there: old bedsheets with stains, the tub in the bathroom with some part falling off. They are not big, but better to fix them. The breakfast is amazing, a lot of options, even the noodles station, the roti station, ice cream and bloodie mary station hahaha A lot of good fruits such as rambutan, passion fruits, etc. not just watermelon and dragon fruits like at other hotels across Thailand. Sunrise beach itself is a bit disappointing because of the amount of boats there and almost no place to swim but this hotel has the designated beach where you can enjoy swimming and definitely some good sunsets. Overall it’s a good place to stay for more than a day if you want to stay at the sunrise Beach area, but my personal favorite is the North pole beach (20-25 min walk along the beach). Things to improve: - service staff should be careful with bags, I know they try to be helpful but one of the guys broke a handle of my carry on bag. - Starbacks cafe on the beach — this is a disaster, they advertise other as a Starbucks coffee shop, with the original drinks and recipes but for 180 thb they will give you iced milk instead of iced cappuccino. Better to buy some good medium roast beans from the Borth of Thailand and serve proper coffee. You don’t need that Starbucks brand definitely.
