9.2/10
Great
MMarldeboneI have no idea how Idllyic rates as highly as it does. And Iâve stayed at 5 different hotels on Koh Lipe, so Iâve got a good basis for local comparison.
Itâs not *bad* - the problem is that itâs priced as a premium option when the reality is in many ways non-premium. It looks kind of fancy on the outside, but thatâs a veneer.
Basically, itâs bad *value*. If they charged half as much as they do Iâd be giving it 8/10 & be pretty happy. But for what they charge itâs a disappointing 4/10.
The good:
The beach is beautiful. This end of Sunrise Beach is one of the nicer spots.
Lots of sun-lounges placed on/near the actual beach, which can be lacking at some places.
Staff are friendly and helpful. Not as proactive as Iâve experienced elsewhere (which is probably a management issue) - but theyâre still good.
The setting / gardens are quite nice, albeit feel a bit cramped - lots of big buildings in a small space.
The bad:
While in general Iâd rate the cleanliness of the place as high, there were several large & obvious stains on the duvet (very visible through a (clean) top sheet).
The room (a âDeluxe Cabana Garden Viewâ) was quite small for the price. The place I stayed on Koh Lipe immediately prior - which was leagues better in every way - about 25% more money got me a (much nicer) room ~3x the size.
Room was looking pretty tired & quite poorly maintained. Particularly the bathroom.
Multiple rain leaks in the shower ceiling/walls - one above the towel rain, and combined they splash water all over the bathroom floor. Cracked perspex panels & rotted wood trims in the bathroom, poorly applied caulk & overpaint, water stains, etc. Both doors jam in their frames. The sort of rooms that probably looked/were amazing when new, but not any more.
Shower doesnât drain properly & often lets out septic-tank-smells. Not uncommon for accom on a small island like Lipe, and not the end of the world, but I wouldâve expected better for the price. Plus a (fresh water) leak from a hose connected to the toilet.
Food & drink prices are obscene for Thailand, even by the standards of higher-end places on Lipe. And to add insult the food items I tried were average. Itâs also literally the only place Iâve stayed (or eaten) on Lipe which adds VAT & a 10% service charge - that I have zero confidence is actually going to the staff - on top of prices. Which just feels cheap & petty. Charge what youâre going to charge - but just list what the total cost is going to be.
Breakfast buffet is disappointing - variety is poor (for the price point), food isnât great, and any âhotâ food thatâs not cooked specifically for you will be cold.
The annoying:
They practically force you to install their app, nominally to allow messaging with the hotel staff. And it does do that. But they also use it to spam you with constant push notifications trying to get you to buy stuff. Theyâve sent 7 *so far* just today. And thereâs no way to turn them off. The fact they donât have a way to disable promotions says a lot about the place I think.
The rooms are really poorly *designed*, eg:
One accessible powerpoint in the entire room (outside the bathroom) - and it has the switch & plug so close that you canât plug a phone charger into it. There isnât even a power point for the kettle.
The chandelier-lamps in the room act like wind chimes with the AC on. So you can either have a cool room, or have a constant jangling noise.
Very hard & uncomfortable mattresses (a bit subjective, but these are *hard*).
One small towel rail in the whole bathroom/room. Good luck if you want to hang two bath towels - or even a hand towel - or want to dry your swimsuit inside.
Iâll finish reiterating what I said at the start - this place isnât *bad*. Itâs just not particularly good, in a whole myriad of ways, while pitching & pricing itself like itâs great. You can do far better for the same (actually, less) money.
GGuest UserStayed here for 3 nights, Rooms are chalet concept. 5mins walk from the pier.
Pros
- Lots of beach chairs
- Quite beach (away from the noisy boats and safer to swim)
- Provide beach towels
- Massage hut by the beach (run separately by a different operator)
- 5mins walk to walking street
- Provide snorkelling gear for rental
- Breakfast was ok. Restaurant food was good.
- Friendly staff
- Awesome mini fridge (super cold)
Cons
- Restaurant closes at 7pm
- WiFi is not stable at all
- The hotel sewerage system is not so good hence thereâs a smell (bare-able) from the bathroom. Both our rooms were like that. Just mask it with the air refresherner they provided.
IIrinaIt took 1.5 hours to get to Koh Lipe from Koh Muka by speedboat. The pier is a pontoon type, and the hotel staff met us on it and took our things on a cart to the hotel. The walk to the hotel is 300-400 meters in total, you can easily walk there yourself. The location is good. Almost all the houses are positioned so that you can see the sea. There's not much point in taking Sia View. The room is large, we had a second floor with a large balcony. Corresponds to the photo on Trip.com. Breakfast is good. Rice porridge soup, rice, noodles, eggs, sausages, ham, juice, coffee, muesli, toast, vegetables, two types of fruit. The distance to the beach where you see the sunrise is 900 meters, where the sunset is the same. To the north, where the view of neighboring Adang is slightly larger. We walked everywhere. There are many restaurants, but you have to choose. I liked the Chinese two, the duck was just lovely, the grilled fish too. The location of the hotel is convenient - right in front of the hotel due to the presence of corals, there are no boats. There are also restaurants, only the beach and the sea. Swimming at night was great, the water was clear, we didnât see any nocturnal creatures, like in Egypt. I recommend downloading the tide schedule. The hotel is very good in terms of price-quality ratio.
