Beach 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!

The water quality at Tianyuan (Tianyuan Resort) mostly contains sand and gravel, while at Bishu Shanzhuang it's yellow sediment, making the latter seem dirtier. Tianyuan's food was the best. The activities were also pretty good, but when we arrived, there wasn't much detailed information. We were given a piece of paper, but it didn't have anything written on it, just told us to download an app. We only found out the next day that there were free paddleboards, but the waves were too big that morning, which was a shame. I didn't think the service was good. The front desk staff didn't smile at us like they did at the other three hotels. We also had to wait a long time for someone to show us to our room (we were carrying two very heavy bags). On the way, the staff member even asked me what time the pool opened, and I told her it was on the paper, but she probably didn't understand. At that moment, with our two large backpacks, they didn't offer to help with our luggage, and just wanted us to get to our room quickly. So, I kind of wanted to roll my eyes. However, a good point was that they let us check in a bit early. I think the location is quite good; if you use the paddleboards, you can go to the uninhabited island opposite. The facilities, I think, are just average. The room smelled very nice, and there was no discomfort when getting into the swimming pool. At Bishu Shanzhuang, I felt a burning sensation when I swam, and my mouth even peeled, so I think their disinfectant is harmful to people. Overall, it was okay, with both good and bad points.

Service: The hotel offers pier transfers. Guests can enjoy complimentary use of kayaks, life vests, fins, snorkels, and masks. Ambiance: Located right by the sea, dining offers direct ocean views. To the left is the 5-star diving shop, Diving Couple, and to the right is the hotel's massage parlor. The massage parlor is a two-story wooden cabin; getting a massage with the sea breeze is very comfortable and not hot. The prices are also cheaper than those on Walking Street. Next to that is the Wapi Hotel. Facilities: The rooms aren't very spacious, so a large suitcase might be a bit challenging to place. The facilities are a bit dated. We stayed in a garden view room (GV2), which was a stand-alone bungalow, but there were quite a few ants and mosquitoes. Every night before bed, I had to hunt for mosquitoes, though an electric mosquito swatter and mosquito repellent are provided. During our 9-day stay, we encountered one cockroach and one gecko in the bathroom, which I suspect came from a slightly broken light fixture. I'd suggest the hotel fix it. Cleanliness: Room cleaning is quite casual; they mainly just change towels and replenish bottled water. However, you can request housekeeping to change the bedding, and they will come and do so. Extra Notes: The hotel has two very cute dogs that will actively 'shake hands' and accompany you for walks along the beach in the evening. The hotel is also not far from 7-Eleven, about a 5-minute walk. However, the road in front of the hotel has potholes that collect water when it rains. The bedding is a tiny bit on the firm side. Breakfast is quite average, with little variation daily; it's enough to fill you up, but you can always buy food from 7-Eleven. Putting aside the facilities, insects, and room size, overall, it's still very good value for money.

The hotel is super convenient, just a short walk left from the pier. There were even hotel staff at the pier to help with luggage and take it to reception for check-in – the service was really welcoming. The location is the best; it's very close to the walking street if you go via the beach, making everything easily accessible. The hotel also has a large pool, and the sea right outside is beautiful. It's excellent value for money.

The hotel picked us up from the pier. There's a large swimming pool in the middle of the hotel, facing the sea. The rooms themselves are pretty average. We booked a ground floor room which was very convenient. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, but there was an old man, who looked like he was from Southern China, always sitting in the restaurant area, who had a terrible attitude. On our second day, we wanted an extra duvet because we were fighting over the existing one, and he very impatiently said no! Couldn't a 6-foot bed accommodate it?! We then spoke to the lady at the front desk again, and she was all smiles and promptly provided us with an extra duvet. The breakfast was quite ordinary. Having stayed at several hotels on Koh Lipe, this one was honestly the worst! Not recommended. I'd recommend Akira instead.

Loved it! 🥰🥰🥰 This stay completely exceeded my expectations. Each room is a small, standalone bungalow, and the hotel's beach is absolutely beautiful. The staff provides shuttle service to and from the pier. 🥰🥰 The rooms are very clean, and it's a short walk along the beach to both the pier and the walking street. For places further out, the staff will help you call a tuk-tuk. There are almost no downsides. I honestly didn't have high hopes before arriving, so I was completely surprised that a 500-yuan hotel could be this good! The only issue is that the service attitude isn't great, and the front desk staff seemed to judge people.

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.

It has been out favorite hotel on the island. It is still very good. Great location (quiet), sea line with very beautiful area, some shade during the sunny day. Very good breakfast and ability to put additionally beds in the room. However, when we were there 5 years ago last time, the service was better. Just an example: there are pits with water next to each villa to clean the feet from the send. If you are a customer you get used to that pretty quickly because it is great that you don't bring the sand to your room and bed, then you actually need it. 5 years ago every time we woke up the pot already was full with water. This time it could stay out of water for the whole day and the half of the next day. Some people were pouring in drinking water there to make it possible cleaning the sand off. There are few other small things that degraded sadly. However, it is till one of the best on the island.

Очень понравилось расположение, пешком до пирсов, выходишь из отеля - сразу на берег моря, территория довольно уютная)) Вкусные завтраки, уборка предлагается каждый день. Трансфера из отеля не заметили, но пешком можно дойти от парома минут за 5-10. Старость и ушатанность в номерах, конечно, ощущается,, мы жили 3 дня, все время то бежал унитаз, то переставал работать нагреватель воды. Мы не сильно парились по этому поводу, потому что не надолго там останавливались, но для кого-то может быть решающим фактором, имейте в виду. Вайфай работал отлично

The position of the bungalows are right on sunrise Beach. We had bungalow number three which is on the beach from and perfect every morning. I don’t think I would want to stay in any other bungalows past the first two rows they’re basic but sufficient and we had a great stay here. There are lots of boats, but it really isn’t a problem. Easy to walk to walk straight probably 10 to 15 minutes. The breakfast was basic but sufficient I would stay here again.
