Lipe Beach Resort

good location ,amazing view , tasty cocktails and friendly atmosphere

Very good

I booked a garden view with air con. It was our wedding anniversary and they but flowers on the bed and wrote happy anniversary with them. It's not on the beach but furthest away, no real view of beach, but it is feels secluded, quiet, no noise from long-tail boats. It was ideal for me. Bungalow lush wooden bed so comfortable and pillows too, has mosquito net around, I always get bitten and I did. Outside lovely big veranda with cushions but could have done with 2 chairs to sit on instead of bamboo area. Other bungalows did but not our chosen one. Staff really friendly. Breakfast good and good choices. If you want room cleaned you put key in reception before 2pm otherwise they leave you alone. Hotel area quiet really early, no where to get a drink. We walked to walking street about 10 minutes or you can try and get a taxi. They close around 12pm. Beach area fantastic I would definitely come back and have same room. S25.

We stayed at Lipe Beach Resort in a family room. Our room was the middle one so we had an enormous bathroom. The verandah out the front is very big with plenty of room for drying clothes, towels and snorkelling gear. There is a lovely big bench with cushions so you can sit out there and watch the world go by. Very close to the beach and a roped off snorkelling area. The breakfast is great and right on the beach. Beach bar and meals and snacks are also fabulous. About 15 minute walk to walking street.

Good part first. The big trees around the resort were lovely and offered much needed shade. We had a great waitress every morning serving breakfast, Sarina. She is gold. Then the bad part. We paid bhat 2,331 per day/night for a room with a bed and 2 hangers - and breakfast. There was absolutely nowhere to put your things/clothes but on the floor. There was a fan on the top of the end wall, but it was still very hot in the room as there were no mosquito net for the windows and therefore not safe to open due to the many mosquitos. This resulted in lack of or poor sleep. We have no problems with heat when you can leave windows open during the night and get some air in from the outside. We asked to have 2 plastic chairs for our small porch, but that was not possible. They said that they had none to spare! And a general note. There are longtail boats everywhere outside the swimming area in front of the resort. Unfortunately, these boats do not respect that this is a swimming area. We saw boats crossing the area when children were swimming there. Crazy!

A large hotel, 9 beachfront rooms, then a further 4 rows behind, so nearly 50 rooms, 100 people, just 20 sunbeds on the beach. The claiming towels were out by 07.00, all claimed by 07.45. Our beach front room had a great view, straight onto the sand. A decent size room, double bed, good a/c, fridge and a safe. No tv might concern some people. WiFi was poor. The password is given to hotel guests, restaurant users, people having a drink. It becomes impossible to get on. Very poor. Breakfast was a set choice of 10 different types, from chicken sausage, ham, eggs, toast butter jam, juice and tea or coffee, continental or Asian choices. A good start to the day. It's on one of the better stretches of the lovely Sunrise beach, although shaded by the tall trees from 4pm onwards. At the end of the day beach front view on a lovely island is what you are here for.
