    The bathroom needed a window and extraction fan. It’s only opening is to the bedroom and odour can only travel one way…

    Great location and view from our room, lovely staff, breakfast is good. The beach in front and close by are some of the best on the island!

    Rooms very basic, need a lot of updating, especially the bathroom!!. Mattress was very hard and the room was like an oven, air conditioning needed constantly as no ceiling fan. Breakfast was OK, freshly cooked eggs and amazing banana pancakes but very limited choice and the same every day

    Location of property was amazing, beautiful beach, like a tropical paradise

    The only thing to improve is the bathroom. It was a little outdated, though everything worked.

    The location of the hotel in absolutely superb! They send a car to wait for you when you arrive and the drive to the hotel itself is an experience. You pass the walking street, a jungle, a mountain and then you see the bluest sea and the neat hotel. There is no pool in the hotel, but most excellent sea to swim, snorkel and kayak (the give you the kayaks for free). The room is nice size and decorated in Thai style. It has a good sized balcony as well.

    Rooms need abit of 'upkeeping'. Generally ok, stayable. The water has a weird taste, so we use purchased mineral water for toothbrushing purpose.

    Great location by the beach. Location : Next to Sunrise beach. Quiet beach with shades. Close to corals / fishes for snorkelling by the beach without the need to travel far. Convenient to few popular eateries. Facilities : Hotel provided snorkeling gears & kids play tools. Sun bed. poof. Food : Their banana pancake is yummy!

    Room needs a renovation, especially bathroom. Odd smell in the bathroom (sewer pipe?) and in the shower. The were several cockroachs in our room even after poisoning. The location is quite isolated but that''s why the resort is also very quiet.

    Extremely friedly owner lady and her staff. House keeping was effective. View from the room was amazing - you can see sunrise every morning directly from your bed. The beach in the front of the resort was quiet compared to other beaches. It was exellent for swimming and snorkeling. Free kayaks are availeble, don't miss a trip to the near island Koh Kra. Every evening non-stop transfer to walking street between 6 pm - 8 pm. The owner lady provided us a transfer to the harbour ftee of charge when we left which was very kind of her. Breakfast was really good and tasty. You can ask different kind of choises (for example yogurt) from the kitchen.

    Most say sunrise beach is the best location, however for us Pattaya beach worked better for swimming for our 4 year old. The hotel is a bit older, people call it overpriced and worn down. But you are on Koh Lipe and beachfront.

    The staff was really friendly. The hotel had several equipment available for use. This was very appreciated. From life jackets, sand toys for kids, kajaks, …

    It was quite a basic room but it was also reasonably priced so you get what you pay for. It was perfectly fine and didn't lack anything, but the room was quite outdated and could benefit a little refresh.

    The location of this resort is a bit remote with a few hills you need to climb to get there, but this is also a benefit as there are no passers-by, only guests of nearby resorts. There is an amazing beach right next to the reception, there are free sunbeds and binbags you can use to sunbathe or just chill. Because of the remote location, the resort offers free transport to town centre in the evening and a drop off service when you leave which is very nice. The room had a really nice view. There was decent amount of space to put your things and a pretty spacious bathroom.

    Perhaps the rooms for that price were too small and outdated. For example, the bathroom was in need of maintenance.

    We loved the staff, they were all just wonderful. The location is very good, by the beach, there are barely any longtail boats. Hotel provides toys for kids, snorkels, kayaks, etc. The breakfast is very good. There is no restaurant in the hotel for other meals, but there are other good options on the Sunrise beach.

    Nothing really. We could of done with clean towels everyday as it's very warm & need to shower allot & towels didn't dry in time. If you don't get the rooms on the bottom level, the hills steep to the next seaview rooms.

    This is a really lovely well maintained place. We extended our stay here as it was that good. The room we booked was large clean with a great view. Big balcony & great breakfast. They have kayaks that you can take out for free & also snorkeling equipment.

    Not quite as pristine as some other resorts in the area but the price is very reasonable for Koh Lipe and the staff were superb

    Very friendly staff, good clean and spacious rooms with great views of Sunrise beach (from a Deluxe room) - the climb up the hill to the room was worth the effort! Breakfasts were good with as much as you can eat - really excellent freshly made banana pancake on request. We appreciated the free kayak and the location near some excellent coral, particularly to the right of the small island opposite the resort. It is also next door to 10 Moons which has the best restaurant on the island. We would definitely stay here again
