Kathalee Beach Resort & Spa

Not recommended, room and facility is outdated/need major renovation, water is smelly, lack of common courtesy to non-white travellers and location is too far from walking street. Dont waste your time here, price of the room is expensive and not equivalent to the service/facilty provided.

For the price we paid, certainly the quality did not match the facilities and experience that we get. REALLY REALLY THE WORST STAY I EVER HAD. Location is very bad, tuktuk did not even send you to the reception because it's downhill and VERY VERY STEEP. You have to HIKE if you want to reach your tuktuk especially if your room type if so-called BEACH FRONT ROOM. For the room itself, we did not get proper pillow like normal one. We got like sofa pillow that is one third of normal sized pillow. and also not forget to mention, the bedsheet is torn....for the nightly price of around 12,000THB..i would at least expect DECENT stay. but my stay at a motel of 500thb is veryyyy far much better than this. Honestly, this resort made my trip to Koh Lipe as a nigh**are, I felt very traumatic to come to Koh Lipe just because of this resort. I didnt even enjoy the beach because I was very frustrated with the overpriced stay with very very bad service and quality of room. I really really hope they can improve the housekeeping and maintenance of the room.

Beautiful property, wonderful views and amazing staff. Every one was kind and helpful. Breakfast had lots of choices with the selections changing daily. Our favorites were the fruit and traditional Thai food. Can't wait until my next visit!

This hotel is to avoid !! We paid more than S$200 per night for a rotten room !! When we arrived the bed sheets was dirty, the toilets was dirty too. In the bathroom the miror the sink was also dirty and all the shower head system rusty !! First day, despite the condition we asked nicely to them to change the bed sheets and clean the toilet. They did it. Then we realised that the safety box had a problem. A rude German guy came into the picture ( the lady boss husband apparently) and explained us that the first row of number don't work. He clearly showed that he wasn't happy with our requirements but how we could know ?! Second day my husband take the room chair to the balcony since only 1 long chair was there . He Is very skinny and he is 57 kg only. He was talking on the phone and the chair broke! He almost got badly injured and got a big bruise on his arm. Not even one time the boss or the manager apologize towards us ! Why? Because it was New Year and the whole island was fully booked ! We tried to be honest to run away from this place but we couldn't ! I don't understand this kind of mentality, we could have been really angry but we never ! After that every day the German guy said hello to everyone excepted us ! Was it too much to request a clean room ? I really don't understand the nice comments below, maybe they was lucky because so far most of the customers complained about this hotel during our stay...

Just Facts about Kathalee Kho Lipe from hospitality expert. Most people write about their holiday feel not actual hotel facts which you pay for.. Location good on the beach, windy side of island. Very nice restaurant next door @ ten moons resort. Breakfast same menu everyday but not bad , good variety of fruit, and good pancake (bread is the worst) Bathroom the worst condition, old, dirty and no air vent neither room or bathroom ( warning: don't take a sh*t), water for sink and shower it stinks like sewage same smell outside of your room... can't wash anything as it smelled worse after washing... Beds must be over 20years old with worst condition of mattress I have slept, spring going in to your body, and I am slim, low weight... Mosquito big problem due to sewage... Overall very dirty island Kho Lipe... Sadly, we pay Europe hotel price per night and you get very very poor quality accomodation...180$ per night is not cheap... warning, rooms sold as sea view when they are not....crooked people....sadly these people don't think on renovation and that is not hospitality but greed...( resort quality, that's what we pay for, not fake smiles)
