Mountain Resort Koh Lipe

Awful 2-night stay and we were counting down the hours to departure (also considered changing hotels although stayed due to no refund on offer from this hotel for pre-booked accommodation). Below are the positives (we found a few) and negatives of this stay. Positives: Nice landscape on a hill with some views of the sea and the opposite island. Comfortable bed and clean sheets and towels. Short walk to the beach below the hotel and the beach on the opposite side of the mountain. Pool is big and clean although no cover from the summer sun. The family bungalow rooms are big. Free transport to walking street between 6pm – 10pm (other times paid at THB50 per person). Negatives: We booked a family Bungalow for 4 and had no option but to book 2 rooms due to a family of 4. The two rooms were separated by outside stairs. This doesn’t work for us given we have young children therefore we ended up using only 1 room which was ample for a family of 4 given the rooms are big. The cost of this stay (for 2 rooms) was very expensive in comparison to other accommodation throughout our 8-night say in Koh Lipe. Noting that other accommodation had much higher ratings, modern, exceptionally clean, better facilities and allowed us to book 1 room for a family of 4 with an extra charge for the extra bed. The family bungalow room style is very 80’s style and hasn’t been upgraded. The room was not clean. There was cockroach poo and dust everywhere. Walls and curtains full of stains and marks. We killed no less than 8 cockroaches; there was clearly an infestation in the room. The toilet does not have a sink to clean hands. The layout of the toilet and shower very much needs upgrading. It doesn’t work. The TV had 1 Thai channel and 1 English Speaking BBC news channel. Only half the screen of the TV worked. The air conditioning worked however only pointed one way. Breakfast included a cooked and non-cooked breakfast. It was ok however quality lacking. Outside light not working. Umbrella broken.
