Hotels near Ao Poh Bay, Phi Phi Islands

We selected a waterfront room and it was wonderful. We loved the room and the views. However, we found very uncomfortable that upon arrival there was a topless woman with her boobs out which is really bad for a couple to have that view when looking at the beach - so maybe, since it is a small beach that’s part of the resort, topless or nudity should not be allowed. The service was also impeccable as well as the food. Our tip: place a bucket in front of the front door so we can fill it with water to clean our feet from the beach sand before entering the room. Our room was always full of sand inside. Another long term change that could be considered is the mattress quality - it is quite hard and not so comfortable. Otherwise, everything in this hotel was perfect: food, room, service, super calm, cleanliness, etc. My husband and I would surely come back!

Great location, and the small bungalows and houses look quite nice. However, the front area near the beach, including the pool and restaurant, wasn't very well-maintained and was partly dirty. The pool water was cloudy and not very inviting, so I didn't use it. I had a 'new room,' which sounds good, but it wasn't. It was inadequately furnished – nowhere to put luggage, no chair... and it was very unclean. It seemed nothing had been cleaned after construction, as protective plastic was still stuck everywhere. The wardrobe was just a rail where the kettle and other items were also placed. At least they quickly brought me more hangers when I asked. The only really good thing was the new sun loungers on the balcony. My room wasn't cleaned, and when I inquired, I was told I had to leave my room key at reception for that. Seriously? I've never encountered that before, and it would have been helpful if they had informed me. Breakfast was very basic, and I didn't like the coffee. However, the à la carte dinner was delicious.

A beautiful hotel with a naturalistic style – both the rooms and the grounds. Good breakfasts, and the town center is within walking distance (the path isn't for the lazy, but you can also take a boat for 100 baht). There's a small private beach, a couple of almost deserted tiny beaches, and Long Beach (the descent to it is quite steep, but there are ropes). This is one of the best spots on the island for snorkeling and observing reef sharks. There are downsides, but they're not critical – the tap water is salty and bitter, and boats constantly whiz by, creating a lot of noise, but you get used to it. We didn't see any monkeys at the hotel, but there were plenty of cats, and they're fed here, which is great. Mosquitoes weren't a big bother either.

The hotel is located on top of a hill, so you need to take a shuttle bus to get up and down, which takes a few minutes. However, the shuttle only runs once an hour. Breakfast is quite basic; if you add it on separately, it costs 350 Thai Baht, or you can take the shuttle down to town to eat. For the ferry transfers, there are always staff to pick you up and drop you off at the pier, so there's no need to book in advance. I suggest increasing the frequency of the shuttle buses, ideally so they run on demand. The water park was partially open, and the slides were really fast.

The room was quite old and looked a bit spooky. However, the view was absolutely stunning; four out of five stars for the balcony view, and four stars for the service from the Chinese-speaking gentleman at the restaurant and the staff who arranged the boats (because the front desk lady doesn't deserve full marks). The front desk lady was very unfriendly. I had initially booked a room, but then my parents decided to join the trip. Since the hotel was fully booked, I had to book a room at the hotel next door. Also, the hotel next door didn't charge extra for children, so my child stayed with my parents there. When the front desk lady found out, she very sternly told me that if a third person was found in our room, we would be fined double, to which I replied 'okay'. Later, when my husband arrived, she sternly reiterated the same warning to him and insisted on charging for my father's boat transfer (the boat from the neighboring hotel left earlier, so I took their boat first to check in for both hotels, while my husband and father took this hotel's boat). However, there was a Chinese-speaking gentleman in the restaurant whose attitude was excellent, and I'm very grateful for his help (we went snorkeling and got swept away by the current; this gentleman and the staff who arranged the boats were very friendly, promptly arranged for rescue, and comforted my father. Many thanks to them).

Pros: - excellent location, the beach is the best on the island, - clean rooms, - excellent hot water pressure, - the prices in the restaurant are the same as in Tonsai, good quality, - you can walk to Tonsai in 20-30 minutes, - there is a free boat upon check-in and check-out. Cons: - terribly unfriendly staff, I have never seen anything like this in Thailand, - old, yellow and half-damp bed linen, - brown and dark blue towels that do not absorb well, - not very thorough cleaning of the beach, which is also done around 9 am, that is, if you come at 7-8 o'clock, the beach is creepy. Overall, the vacation was good, but there is no particular nostalgia and desire to return to this hotel.

Deluxe Room: Quite basic, a bit dated, and there was a lot of mold in the bathroom. BUT! Good soundproofing, a new air conditioner, a quiet location, and the pool is large and clean with spacious grounds. There's even a horse you can feed! Excellent value for money. 👍

A large room with a spacious bathroom, cold air conditioning, and a strong hot water shower. A kettle, coffee, and complimentary water were also provided. The hotel has a pool, although I didn’t have time to use it. The location is right in the centre of Tonsai, making it convenient for everything while still being quiet enough in the evenings. The only downside was that the internet wasn’t working during this visit, which was disappointing.

It's fine for a couple of days. But we didn't like Phi Phi itself. We went for relaxation and a beautiful sea, but instead, it was overcrowded, the sea wasn't very clean, and there was constant noise from motorboats. The hotel rooms were tired, and we saw cockroaches. Breakfast from the restaurant had a beautiful view, and the selection was limited, but everything was sufficient and delicious. If you want to arrange a transfer upon arrival, contact the hotel directly via WhatsApp, as the TripCom chat was lengthy and unproductive.

Wonderful place to be, the area is just amazing. Small villa houses, very nice and a clean, nice pool area. Just drums up 👍🏻 only issue check out at 11am, if you like to use the morning for diving it too less time. Every hour more costs 400 baht. Therefore no 5 stars.
