Find 3-Star Hotels in Koh Lipe

My stay at the Mountain Resort in Koh Lipe was truly an unforgettable experience! Our room was an absolute dream, featuring postcard-perfect ocean views of Koh Lipe that I will surely never forget. What really made this stay so special was the incredible staff. They were exceptionally good and attentive, treating us with a unique blend of respect and genuine affection that made us feel so welcome. The resort's amenities are also fantastic and very convenient. There is a shuttle bus service that takes you up and down the hill, running every 15 minutes during the afternoons, which made getting around effortless. Down at the beach, they have incredibly comfortable hammocks that are absolutely perfect for relaxing by the sea. I cannot recommend this resort enough. An absolutely wonderful experience!

In terms of service, cleanliness, and amenities, this is your average Thai resort. The location, in my opinion, is fantastic—right at the very end of Pattaya Beach. There's always shade from a beautiful tree, and it's convenient for swimming and snorkeling. The only drawback is that it can sometimes be tough to climb the stairs since the hotel is located on a hill. The price is definitely inflated, but I gather that's typical for the entire island; everything is more expensive than mainland Thailand. If I go back to Koh Lipe, I'll most likely choose this place again.

The hostel is in a convenient position, right in the walking street. The ground floor is sort of a post office, which makes it kind of chaotic and crowded and sometimes the shoes (that you need to leave outside of the building) are covered by the amount of packages being delivered. One pair of my shoes got taken by someone else (stolen?).  I felt there is really no control of whoever comes up, as the post office is so chaotic that no one checks who comes and goes to the hostel on the upper floors. The common area is not that big and the WiFi is not stable at all. Nevertheless these are things  The showers need some maintainance, some have hangers for clothes, some don’t, some have broken ones. Same for the toilets. The cleaning of the showers and toilet areas was quite under control. I just wish that people with long hair would clean after themselves, because patches of bestie ere to be found on the sink and the showers all the time. The room was relatively small, with 3 bunk beds and 6 small lockers. I recommend earplugs because you never know if the people in your room will snore, and also because the people in the hallway and common area are loud and no one respects the 10pm silence hours.  Good deal for money if you want to explore Ko Lipe on a budget.

We spent one week in a double bungalow with a fan and honestly couldn’t have asked for more. The bungalow was cosy and charming, with a lovely terrace and a hammock that was perfect for relaxing. Of course, there are some mosquitoes, but with repellent, it wasn’t an issue at all. The location is amazing, just steps away from Pattaya Beach, where you can enjoy truly beautiful sunsets. They also offer massages right on site near the beach, and they are absolutely fantastic with professional staff and excellent value for money. All the staff were incredibly friendly and always smiling, which really made our stay special. Guests can enjoy a private deck and bar as well, which is a great extra touch. Highly recommended, especially the massages. After a one hour session, they even treat you to free coconut water. It was a wonderful experience all around.

Staff friendly and very responsive to guest needs Location wise it's very near to sunrise beach and proximity to the popular walking street Cleanliness not top notch, encounter 2 night critters in the room though it's not a large one. Room amenities basic. The water pressure and lighting in the room can be better..

Pros: 1. **Location:** It's not right by the bustling pedestrian street, so it's relatively quiet, yet only a 5-10 minute walk away. 2. It's a detached, single-story villa with a private terrace. 3. The room has a minimalist design, and there's plenty of hot water for showers. 4. The beach is just a few steps from the room. 5. There are exclusive beach chairs available on the beach. 6. The breakfast is substantial, mainly Western-style. 7. They offer shuttle services. Cons: 1. The room is a bit run-down; many facilities are old or loose. 2. The island in general is a bit noisy and too crowded. 3. At over 1000 RMB per night during peak season, it's not great value for money. 4. The immigration and departure points on the island for boarding/disembarking boats are quite chaotic. You have to pay the island fee upfront. Be aware that the ATM next to immigration charges half the withdrawal amount in fees – a definite rip-off. 5. The staff on the Thai transfer boat were rude and crammed everyone onto one vessel.

An average hotel with a tired renovation. The bathroom has an instantaneous water heater, but the water is always cold. The toilet leaked when flushed. The air conditioner blows directly onto the bed. I recommend contacting the hotel in advance so they can meet you at the pier to take your luggage.

The hotel was chosen based on its relatively low price and location. The hotel has seen a lot in its time: a padlock on the front door, cracks in the floor, sockets that are extremely loose, unobtrusive service. However, enough of the negative. Quite good breakfasts, proximity to the sea, good attitude of the staff level out the negative. Try it!
