Hotels near Phak Nam Bay, Phi Phi Islands

Room is cosy, very clean and upper floors are way better than ground floor rooms. The property looks new and is located smack in the center of all the madness but quiet and away from it. A good 3 minutes walk from Tonsai Pier, and situated within 3 minutes walk to the Long Dalum Bay beach, a superbly beautiful beach - meant for instagrammers. Pro tip: the day tours contracted by the hotel seems to be cheaper than elsewhere and online, and it's really worth the money and time to just book directly with them. The only problem, largely, is the mosquitoes in the lobby. It's like a buffet for them.

We booked our trip a while ago and the reviews seemed great. The closer our trip got the reviews seemed to worsen. But we were unable to change/cancel due to the rate we booked. On arrival we were welcomed by staff and given a cold bottle of water and cold flannel and handed a big list of do’s and don’ts whilst at the hotel. Including leaving your hotel key with reception when leaving the hotel meaning your AC didn’t work whilst out and about. Coming back to an extremely hot uncomfortable room. The hotel is right next to the mosque on the island and the tannoy goes of several times a day to announce prayer including around 5:30am. Very loud. But this can’t be helped, we should have thought about this whilst booking the hotel. Walls are paper thin. We were fortunate enough to between two friends so it was only our noise we could hear but I imagine if this was a stranger it would become annoying, to the point we could hear each others conversations through the walls. We paid for the swim up bungalow villas which apparently are the best rooms available at this hotel. They were filthy (see attached photos) and need of a deep clean and some serious TLC! Also whilst showering there is a terrible foist smell from the drains. And the water pressure is low, again could be down to location. The beds were like sleeping the floor they were that hard, but apparently these are how beds are in Thailand. But the beds have been excellent on the mainland at other stays. Unable to sleep. Little interaction with hotel staff other than check in but whilst writing this review a staff member walked past our room, and spat on the ground! The pool also is in need of some TLC and a full regrout. Be careful where you’re walking as some bits are sharp and appears to be full of grit/sand on the floor. The island itself is stunning but the hotel is lacking for the cost. This is a mid-range budget hotel for the island so would expect a much higher standard. Wouldn’t return to this hotel.

Stayed for one night, so in short; there are no toothbrushes, the water in the shower is stinky, breakfast is not so varied but quite enough, the pool is ok, the beach is not big, it’s not convenient to swim because it’s very shallow and you can’t go far because of the constantly cruising boats. Shops, restaurants, entertainment, everything is within walking distance.

We were greeted warmly at the reception & got a beautiful pool facing Room with the backdrop of the Sea. The pier is barely 5mins walk and the Hotel had sent a cart with the man holding our placard. The Room was spacious for 3 Pax & was totally comfortable. The location of this Hotel is prime and the food joints & market streets are all walking distance. The breakfast spread is good enough to start your day with… Relax in the pool or just across the pier to take a private tour in the Long Tail Boats. This a must do if you are staying in this Island. You will be surprised to watch the fire shows, music & dance at the beach Parties. This Island has some lovely restaurants with delicious local cuisine and a wide spread platter for Sea Food lovers. Chill with the “Chang Beer” and interesting Cocktails. We stayed for 3 nights and had a memorable time….Our room commanded a picturesque view!! We will definitely be back here. Only improvement required to be done by the Hotel Management is to renovate the bathrooms & fittings as these are dated.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The hotel staff were all amazing and very helpful. They collected us from the pier with our bags and carried them directly to the room, and the same leaving the island. The hotel is all individual tree top cabins. This can be a hike/long walk up a hill to the room depending on which one you stay in. The hotel is located on the beach with a private beach which is lovely. You can walk across the beach for 3 minutes to the main path around Phi Phi. 5 minute walk from the hotel to restaurants/shops. Taking 15 minutes to walk to the pier. Or you can get a tail boat taxi directly from the hotel beach to take you around the island or day trips. The hotel’s breakfast was 5/10. The average buffet style breakfast. The pool bar doesn’t exist when we were there and doesn’t look like it has been open in a long time. The rooms were cleaned everyday. I would not recommend the hotel for young children or people with reduced mobility.

My partner and myself spent a few nights on the island at one of the small cottages. Perfect for couples and those having a short stay on the island. They are located about a 10 minute walk from the main area of bars and restaurants, however, at night walking back, its always a peaceful, enjoyable trip from the views. The cottages provide the exact facilities required and were sweet and cosy. Central enough to all the action and has the most gorgeous views!

Beautiful location

We had a wonderful stay at this well maintained hotel. The pool was amazing and close to the beach. Staff were very friendly and it had a standard hotel breakfast. Booking of activities were possible form the front desk. The location was great for watching the sunrise. One downside was the day tours that drop hundreds of people right next to this hotel’s beach. We just moved to the amazing infinity pool for peace and quiet. Something to consider if you are looking for a quiet beach all day.

Not happy with the experience at all. First, when we arrived on the main island, we were told to wait an hour until the long tail could take us. The guide told us he would watch our luggage, but when we came back, no one was watching it. We were then told that the tide was too low for our complementary long tail, so we needed to pay THB 200 to ride a public one. We got to the resort and checked in. The workers at the front desk were not friendly. We were brought to our bungalow in the far back corner. These bungalows are old and dark. If you book here, book the new bungalows. Luckily there is working hot water in the shower. The beds are like sleeping on a wooden box. Only 2 pillows on the bed, the shades are not blackout, and you cannot turn off the porch light at night. The picture windows are boarded up. The tv is old without Netflix, etc. the hair dryer doesn’t work properly. The breakfast is fairly good. The dinner selection is the usual Thai/American menu. Lots of drinks, smoothies, fruit choices too. The view is great. The private beach area is good. No beach towels or mats are provided. You have to bring your own or buy from them. We asked for 11:30 checkout and were told no. The grounds aren’t kept well. The weeds and grass are overgrown. Just down the way, the Paradise Pearl is beautiful, and we are envious of those. We definitely do not recommend staying here unless you are going for cheap price & cheap quality.

Firstly the location, the hotel is directly on a beautiful ***** of beach with snorkelling opportunities literally metres into the water. The views of the islands etc are stunning and Ton Sai pier is a very short taxi boat (100B per person Vs the hotel 1,200B per trip) and is a vibrant and buzzing little pedestrian town. Unfortunately, the hotel doesn't live up to the environment. It has so much potential but just appears to be run down, neglected and uncared for. Everywhere you look there are endless maintenance jobs that need doing. Worth noting that there is nothing that directly impacts your stay but it just gives the impression of not caring. Broken fences, fascia boards hanging off, every wall or wooden structure needs repainting, what looks like a construction site on one side and a dumping ground on the other. Non-functioning fountains, overgrown gardens, and some villas that look condemned. There seems to be plenty of staff but they just seem to have no one managing them and they were continuously on their phones. I've seen reviews stating the staff were rude and my personal impression is that they are not but they don't speak English very well and this could be misconstrued as rude or not caring. There is a restaurant onsite and even though breakfast is included after day 2 we preferred to pay to eat at one of the neighbouring hotels. Goes without saying that we also ate every other meal at the other hotels. Interestingly even though breakfast is 7am to 10am they have a sign-up inferring that they really want you there between 8 and 9! Would I stay here again? Yes, but not in its current state, the rooms were generous sizes, tidy and everything worked and to its credit, the prices were reflective of the standard of the hotel.
