Lipa Bay Resort

Nice hotel with a nice swimming pool. The room is actually an all-wood bungalow. Very well equipped with a very large bathroom (bathtub, indoor shower and outdoor shower) Air conditioning in the bedroom only. The only problem is that the bungalow is not soundproofed and you can hear guests talking about the neighboring bungalow. The hotel is not located in a very busy area so it is better to be motorized. A few restaurants around but the road is dark in the evening for walking. Basic breakfast.

A bit far from everything, you should be mobile. The room is very simply furnished. The garden is beautiful. The staff, with the exception of one lady, is bored and doesn't care about the guests at all. They hang in their desk chairs behind the reception and hardly move. The staff at breakfast even tops this off, not only are they not friendly, I found them to be friendly. The breakfast itself must be chosen very sparingly; no more is allowed. I don't recommend it and I certainly won't go there again.

The hotel is located right on the seafront. There are private cottages and larger main houses with spacious rooms. Plus the bathtub in the bathroom. The small but beautiful swimming pool is right by the sea. On the beach or by the pool, you can see a beautiful sunset. The Thai bed is very sturdy, which is a small disadvantage. And the hotel is not up to date anymore.

The hotel is overall very poor. It's not expensive but there are much better options on the island at the same price. They charge a deposit of 500 baht even though there is nothing worth 500 baht in the room (see photos). Everything is in poor condition or dirty. Poor room insulation, shabby bathroom. A water leak from the jet next to the toilet so in the toilet with your feet in the water. Mold everywhere.

Very impeccable, beautiful setting, unfortunately no evening restaurant. The lunch is not very generous... The beach is very beautiful and very natural. Staff not always efficient. Some nuisances as well.

Some nuisances from the cleaning ladies with torn sheets on the remade beds... leaves something to be desired.. Good setting and beautiful lodges with a beautiful beach! We also found the breakfast a little expensive.

One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. Out of several hundred hotels so far. According to the booking platform, this hotel has English-speaking staff. But what they mean is English-speaking technology. Even asking reception to call me a taxi was only successful with the help of Google Translate. According to the receptionist, my bungalow was ready for occupancy when I arrived (two hours after the earliest possible check-in). In fact, the bed was freshly made and the trash cans had been emptied. Otherwise, there were numerous traces of the previous occupant. The ceiling light in my bungalow could not be turned off. Although there were at least two equivalent bungalows available, I was not allowed to move. I was told to wait for the electrician, who would probably come sometime soon. Hurrah for the sleeping mask that I got on the Thai Airways flight. The air conditioning just about manages to keep the temperature in the bedroom about 2 degrees cooler than the outside temperature. At least there is light in the bathroom. Above the shower, but not above the sink. You get a mini bottle of shampoo. That should be enough for a week's stay. There is no shower gel or soap. Free internet access is generally available. The WiFi is extremely slow (less than 1 Mbps on average) and very unstable. Basically useless. Putting a notebook on the tiny "desk" would be possible, but it doesn't make much sense, because there is no chair. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere. That explains the completely inflated prices: massages and other treatments cost significantly more than the usual local prices, sometimes up to three times. The prices in the restaurant in no way reflect the quality offered. For the laundry service you have to pay about five times the usual local prices. The pool is advertised as an infinity pool, but it is not one. There is no ladder to get into the pool. There are steps, but using them is life-threatening: they are slanted and there is no handrail. There are cushions for the sun loungers, but they are not put up. Parasols are available, but they are not set up. The beach is not cleaned, although the surf washes up a lot of rubbish. Access is only possible via very steep steps, which visually appear to be ready for demolition.
