Koh Samui Lipa Noi 3-star Hotels

Oh dear, oh dear oh dear! The owners did not use the Covid close down as an opportunity to update, improve maintain or even tidy this hotel. Everywhere you looked it appears shabby. Beach Bungalow at a vastly overpriced cost. Dimly lit TV did not work Fixed Safe did not work 'Fixed' then didn't work again Door would not lock 'Fixed' but took a strong hand to lock or open Musky, un-aired smell 'garden' overgrown and tatty Dirty, old and shabby sun loungers. No caretaking of the beach area, other hotels along the beach had teams clearing the debris on their patch each morning. Set breakfast poor with comedy floppy toast. Moody and unhelpful reception. I had emailed the hotel directly a couple weeks before hand to ask about the possibility of a cake for my wife's birthday, never heard back from them which is not unusual for small Thai hotels. However, on the morning we were going to check out early due a cake appeared with several of the staff to sing 'Happy Birthday'. Nice save! My wife persuaded me to stay. Upon check-out got a hefty bill for the cake! Would not recommend at all.

We stayed at Lipa Bay Resort for 8 nights. Our room was on the third floor (which is accessible by stairs only) with a nice view of the ocean. We liked our room - it was big, comfortable, nice bathroom and deck. We found it quiet at night time and the air con worked great. The only thing we didn’t like was that we found the bed a bit too hard. The location was great. It is located right in the middle of Lipa Bay and the beach is beautiful. There is a lovely pool at this hotel, but only 7 lounge chairs. If you didn’t get a lounge chair by breakfast time they’d be pretty much unavailable for the rest of the day. To the south along the beach and road are some good restaurants. We particularly liked Kaew Thai and Mom’s Kitchen. Good food! The hotel has a restaurant where we had breakfast every morning and had lunch there on one occasion. The breakfast menu is somewhat limited - choice of hot drink, choice of cold drink and one entree - eggs, cereal, pancake or Thai dishes, and white toast. The hotel had scooters and bicycles available to rent. We rented scooters and enjoyed exploring the island. Our favourite spot was Taling Ngam Beach and the Island View Restaurant which is right on that beach. Great food! Idyllic beach perfect for swimming! It was about a 20 minute scooter ride from our hotel. Overall, this was a very nice, clean and comfortable hotel with friendly staff who were very helpful. We would stay there again.

This place is lovely. Very quiet, very calm, is literally right on the beach where you can watch the sunset every day. You can walk up the beach to a few bars and restaurants. The pool is clean. The lady that seems to run this place on her own is just lovely and very friendly. HOWEVER..... It's quite run down and very no frills. When we were there, they didn't have their own food or bar. If you wanted food, you needed to order in advance and all they did was get a takeaway from a local place and add a fee on top. If you wanted drinks you had to go to the shop. Breakfast again is at an extra cost, has to be ordered the day before and is just a takeaway from the place 5 minutes down the road. The BBQ they say they have for you to use, is a tiny mini thing that you have to buy everything for. The bicycles they say they have for you to use for free are mainly broken, tyres punctured, side stand stuck down, chain slips etc. They do have kayaks though, that are free, and they were good fun in the calm, warm Thai waters. One 500ml bottle of water was replaced once every 2 days in the room. The TV didn't work. The sockets sparked. There is basically nothing nearby. You HAVE to have a moped or car to go and do anything. But again, it was a lovely quiet, peaceful, picturesque and welcoming stay in a very basic place. There were shy lizards everywhere. There is an unlimited supply of towels for the beach or pool. The staff are so incredibly lovely,

Away from the hustle of central Chaweng, so is a good spot to be based for quiet times and used as a base to explore the island. Beachfront pool villas are nice, large and great views of the ocean. Private pool is a bonus and well worth the upgrade. Hotel was busy when I stayed and everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying themselves. The pool isn’t the largest but plentiful for the amount of rooms. Don’t forget, there are the villas with private pools, so a fair number of guests will be in their own area. Access to the beach is not directly in front of the hotel, but that’s a good thing otherwise I would be hearing everyone in front of my villa each day. Access is the side of the resort just past the restaurant. Along this stretch of beach has a few other hotel bars and restaurants to eat and drink in and if you head to the furtherest headland point, and head inland, you will come across a handful of bars and restaurants. As many people have said, the hotel is next to a road - but like most hotels in Samui, it’s just the design of the island. You can avoid the main road for your walk to the local area by going along the stretch of beach. And when you are on the island, why wouldn’t you want to walk along the beach?! So don’t listen to those comments about nothing nearby. If you want the hustle of the nightlife, Chaweng central is 15 minutes away. Get on the shuttle or order a taxi for 300thb. It’s a 4 star hotel, trying to get back to some kind of normal after covid and over time, I am sure the owners will reinvest their money to make improvements where some other guests have commented about in other posts but I do think it is dependent on the room type you book and/or are assigned as most of them are fine. Give it a go, it is worth it. I’ve been to many hotels over the years - more than the average Joe - and it’s only recently where I’ve checked in and out of two hotels on the same day in all these years.

Overall a very positive experience with super friendly staff and great value for money. Positives- fantastic beachside setting for pool and main restaurant. Large rooms and good value for money. Attention points - breakfast choice is limited which becomes an issue if you are staying more than a few days. There are different types of accommodation available; if you go with a room option it will be away from the beach with only a few villa actually on the beach front.
