It's a long read, brace yourselves!
We stayed in Vipa Tropical Resort for 5 nights and the trouble started right when we moved in. They showed us to the room, which was the a bungalo next to the pool. It looked nothing like the pictures of the room we booked. So I went to the reception and said ”that doesn't look like our room”. After some debate (we were told that they are fully booked and, in reality, this was an upgrade) they took us to Superior room #113. At first glance, it was the room that we booked, but then... things started to come to light... All firnuture was old and beaten down. Literary! There were bits and whole pieces missing or broken. So I made a complaint to Trip.com and demanded to either manage the situation or get me a full refund. While they promised to resolve the issue whithin an hour, we went out into town and when we got back reception was already closed (not a 24h service), so we went to our room, decided to ”sleep on it”, pulled the cover from the bed... it was stained and the blanket was dirty, like it wasn't changed from previous stay. Another call to support and there was nothing that could do about it, but to offer to wait until morning. We spent the night cramped on the couch. In the morning I went to the reception, called the lady into thr room and said ”I don't care about the furniture, but at least the sheets have to be white and clean and crisp”. She tried to tell me that those are clean, just the laundry that they use isn't doing a good job.... Again, we went out for the day and by the time we got back the sheets were white, clean and crisp. And Trip.com agent offered us some coins ”for the trouble”. After night 4, there was a knock on the door and we were offered to look at the room #114... And it was PERFECT! Just next door. The bed was clean, the furniture was brand new, the shower had strong and hotter water. Why, oh why?!?! Oh yeah, they were fully booked and just moved people around....
Besides, all the trouble, the nature around is stunning. Very green and quiet. And the cliff massively hanging above is nothing but spectacular, but... that's where the good part ends.
P.S.: There waa a ”do not disturbe” sign on our door. And yet, when we got back from our day trip, there were towels and TP and two bottles of water sitting on the couch. Quite disturbing, concidering there's no safe deposit box in the room
Not going to stay there again.

maska008Excellent little hotel surrounded by palm trees! It's close to the main street, Krasnaya Road, and shopping centers. You can hear some street noise, like engines and music, but it's not too significant. The room has all the amenities, cleaning service, and great internet. There's a pleasant pool, but it's right next to a restaurant, so there's not much privacy. However, if you swim in the morning, it's not uncomfortable.
On the last day, they started renovations near the pool, building a gas concrete wall. It wasn't very comfortable to be by the pool with workers, cement, and tool noises. For a couple of days, it's an excellent and inexpensive option to explore Patong.
The sea is just 100 meters away with sunbeds. The waves were big, and sunbeds cost 100 baht per person. Souvenir vendors are all over the beach! The sea is warm, and splashing around by the shore, especially for children, is a lot of fun. They offer parasailing from a boat for 1500 baht per person for 10 minutes. Money exchange places are all nearby; you get 3,300 baht for a hundred dollars. We paid everywhere with cash without any problems!
There's a family of squirrels living at the hotel! It's a delight to watch them!

alrapenWe booked a family room. Inside, everything was just like the pictures. Now I understand what people mean in reviews by 'a bit tired' room. Be careful with the sofa, you can really feel the crossbars.
The walk to the pool was a bit long, and the pool itself seemed smaller than in the pictures and smelled of chlorine.
The grounds, however, are like a magical forest at the foot of a majestic mountain, full of paths, flowers, and palm trees. It's especially enchanting in the evening with the lanterns. 👍 They clean thoroughly!

were very happy with this accommodation. It is not a large resort, but it is set in a garden with a swimming pool hidden at the back, which provides a lot of privacy. The hotel also has a restaurant with a direct sea view, and the beach is located just across the road, right in front of the resort. They provide beach towels, the rooms were always very well cleaned and spotless, and the staff were kind and helpful. Luggage storage is available both on arrival and departure days. All rooms have a private balcony, so I would highly recommend this place to solo travelers or anyone looking for peace and quiet away from large, busy resorts

Upon arriving in Phi Phi, look for the resort's sign; there's a free longtail boat transfer at 1 PM.
The resort has a pleasant location with a very calm beach and some free sun loungers.
However, we booked a standard room and ended up in rooms 319 and 318, which were very high up. They looked nothing like the rooms in the photos. The walls between rooms are incredibly thin (drywall/plasterboard); you can perfectly hear conversations from the next room, the boat engines, and cicadas as early as 7 AM.
If I hadn't cleaned the showerhead, the shower would have been more like a trickle from a tap.
Nevertheless, the view from the room is incredible, and the AC works well.
Breakfast is good and varied. The hotel provides towels and even offers some free snorkeling gear.
The hotel staff are very attentive and polite.
From Long Beach to Tonsai, it's 100 THB per person, or 150 THB per person after 6 PM, or a 40-minute (3.5km) walk along the beach.
We didn't complain about the room because we were only staying for two nights.
The hotel seems to have immense potential, and it's sad that there's such a lack of maintenance/poor quality building materials.

I stayed in this hotel twice while travelling in and out of Ao nang. The room was clean and spacious, and the staff ( on reception and housekeepers) were kind and helpful. I really appreciated the luggage storage while I was visiting islands.
I didn't choose breakfast as there are many restaurants nearby. The hotel is about a 20 min walk from the beach and the centre. Everything was good but quite noisy, as my room faced the main street and the walls were quite thin.
Overall, a decent stay for the price.

Check in was a breeze with luggage handlers helping carry your luggage from the pier to the hotel. The reception girls are really lovely and helpful with whatever request you might have(like booking boats to your next destination), just remember to say please and thank you(kohp khun ka/krap). The hotel is the last one on the pier side bay, therefore is really quiet, even now in high season. The down low is that you have to walk 20minutes to restaurants and bars on 30+ degree heat + high humity,so expect to arrive sweating both ways. The hotel itself is probably 40/50 years old and seems that never been renovated, the inside of the rooms need freshing up,paint etc...an overall renovation of the whole building. Although the rooms were clean, aircon was good and our room with the pool access(1 of 3) had great views from the bay. Pool was also clean and it was at a good temperature. If you are here for just a couple of days it is fine. Breakfast is basic but they have an egg station, so you can order your eggs however you prefer. And the black coffee was great too(better than other hotels we stayed in Bangkok/Krabi). The hotel staff were very kind to supply my wife with Flying Rabbit(a local thai version of gaviscon/diarrhoea medicine) which helped a mild food poisoning combined with charcoal tablets. Moreover, the hotel has a little private beach with sun lounges at the very end of the bay, perfect for chilling when you don't have any boat trips booked for the morning. Be aware that it becomes shady after around 3pm because its so close to the mountain. Also there were monkeys signs on your doors to keep them lock to prevent curious monkeys of rummaging through your stuff but we haven't seen any during our 3 night stay. Would I stay at this hotel again? Probably not unless completely renovated:, too far from the restaurants and bars and very old/tired. Make sure you use some walking shoes when going out because you definitely gonna hit that 10000 steps mark.

Stayed here for only one night, but it was a lovely, comfortable stay. The room was way better than we expected- clean, had everything we needed. The location is a little far out, but it meant it was quiet at night, so we were glad for that.

sobolevairatltSince 2019, passing by this hotel's grounds, we've dreamed of staying in a first-row bungalow with a sea view. It's a secluded spot, away from the island's center and the hustle and bustle of tourist streets. In 2025, we stayed in room B115 at this hotel. We loved it so much that we rebooked for our 2026 vacation – a Premier Villa Deluxe, first-row, with a sea view and breakfast, for 5 nights from April 23rd to 28th. This time, we were checked into Villa B110.
At this hotel, it's better to pay a bit more and stay on the first or second row. There are rooms on the hillside, and it can be tough walking uphill. Love Beach is nearby, an excellent beach. And if you walk a little further to Long Beach, you'll find a living aquarium. Bring your masks! There's an incredible variety of fish there. There's also a relaxation area with a pool and sun loungers, which is really convenient in case of big waves. The weather was great during our stay, but we still went to the pool. The water in the pool was warm.
Our room had a fridge, safe, kettle, a 19-liter bottle of drinking water, and small bottles were brought daily. There was a large balcony with a beautiful view, featuring two sun loungers, a table, and two chairs. The bed in the room was soft and comfortable. In the evenings, all the pathways were lit up.
Breakfasts were varied, delicious, and buffet-style. Coffee was from coffee machines. You could sit on the covered veranda or on the open veranda with a sea view.
Upon check-out, they took us to the ferry by boat, free of charge.
This is the first hotel we've ever stayed at twice. And of course, if we visit this island again, we'll rebook. We usually try to stay at different hotels, but we really, really loved it here. It’s quiet, surrounded by nature, close to the sea, and has the best beaches on the island.
As for cons, it's a bit far from the island's center. But we still walked to the fire show, which happens every evening near Slinky Bar, and to Phi Phi Viewpoint 1 and 2 for the sunset.
I recommend this hotel, but choose rooms with a sea view.
