Phi Phi Long Beach Resort & Villa

Pros: The hotel is located on one of the best beaches with stunningly clear water (comparable to Koh Samet, Koh Kood); the hotel staff tries very hard, even if their English isn't great; upon check-in, they brought a fruit platter (nowhere to buy them on this beach), nice views of the warehouses and close proximity to Maya Bay; free transfer (boat) upon check-out to return to Ton Sai Pier (8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM). Cons: Upon arrival at the hotel, you are dropped off from the boat in shallow water (also, Ton Sai Pier is very slippery, and you have to cross other boats on the pier, so be careful as everyone is rushed), and you have to carry your suitcase across the sand. There are sea urchins on the seabed, and we saw a poisonous jellyfish on the beach (there are warnings about these creatures in neighboring hotels). The restaurant was closed (except for breakfast – which was à la carte, in late September). The hotel needs renovation – our roof was leaking (2nd floor) in the bathroom, there was a large gap under the front door (on the last night, a large cockroach and a spider crawled in), the air conditioner was very noisy, and the safe could only be locked with a master key (as they explained, there was only one, so we had to carry it very carefully at all times), old furniture, etc. The hotel began renovations for the start of the season. The refrigerator and air conditioner do not work when you leave the room (one card system). We had booked two rooms, and one of them was decorated in very dark tones. Important: Monkeys visit in the afternoon!! During our stay, there were about 15 of them. The staff does not chase them away from the premises. According to staff, these are wild monkeys and pose a danger. It's interesting to watch them, but coexisting with them is a problem. During low tide, there are rocks in the sea, so be careful! The panoramic windows face neighboring buildings, and the curtains are only blackout, meaning there's a constant lack of natural light in the room. If you want to go to another beach, a boat costs 100 baht, or after 6 PM, it's 150 baht per person one way. Alternatively, you can walk along the beach and partially through an unequipped jungle path and a neighboring section of Ton Sai beach (20 min). Summary: We ate at other restaurants on the beach, saw many locations on excursions, explored on our own, and spent very little time at the hotel. The sea is beautiful and suitable for swimming at low tide. You can swim in the pool after sunset until 9 PM (it's very small). The hotel is understaffed and needs renovation. The highly advertised island, service, infrastructure, and especially the level of safety, are not up to par. We will compare it with Koh Lipe; our vacation continues.

The room is quite spacious, and an extra bed can be added if you are traveling with children.

This cottage-style hotel, surrounded by nature, allowed us to relax completely without being disturbed by other guests. Both the front desk staff and the dining room staff were incredibly kind and helpful, assisting us with various inquiries. The food at the restaurant in front of the hotel was absolutely delicious! It was a real treat to enjoy a leisurely meal while gazing at the ocean. Although it's rich in nature, be careful of monkeys! They might try to take your belongings, so we recommend always keeping the balcony door closed.

A wonderful, amazing hotel. Our breakfast was included in the stay. The cafe is right on the shore, just 10 meters from the water. There aren't a huge number of dishes for breakfast, but there's always something for everyone: pasta, various rice dishes, chicken, greens, fruit, coffee… plenty of everything. Breakfast is until 10:00 AM. If our room wasn't cleaned, we just told the reception. They gave us more than 2 bottles of water, and you could always ask for more. The rooms have everything you need. But if you're looking for pristine, glass-encased rooms, then you should check out other hotels. Nearby is the sea with incredibly beautiful and clean water, simply a dream! 👍👍👍 You can walk into town, or take a boat ride for 150 baht per person. I'm very satisfied, everything was perfect. I'll definitely come back here next time.

Upon arriving in Phi Phi, look for the resort's sign; there's a free longtail boat transfer at 1 PM. The resort has a pleasant location with a very calm beach and some free sun loungers. However, we booked a standard room and ended up in rooms 319 and 318, which were very high up. They looked nothing like the rooms in the photos. The walls between rooms are incredibly thin (drywall/plasterboard); you can perfectly hear conversations from the next room, the boat engines, and cicadas as early as 7 AM. If I hadn't cleaned the showerhead, the shower would have been more like a trickle from a tap. Nevertheless, the view from the room is incredible, and the AC works well. Breakfast is good and varied. The hotel provides towels and even offers some free snorkeling gear. The hotel staff are very attentive and polite. From Long Beach to Tonsai, it's 100 THB per person, or 150 THB per person after 6 PM, or a 40-minute (3.5km) walk along the beach. We didn't complain about the room because we were only staying for two nights. The hotel seems to have immense potential, and it's sad that there's such a lack of maintenance/poor quality building materials.

Great location, and the small bungalows and houses look quite nice. However, the front area near the beach, including the pool and restaurant, wasn't very well-maintained and was partly dirty. The pool water was cloudy and not very inviting, so I didn't use it. I had a 'new room,' which sounds good, but it wasn't. It was inadequately furnished – nowhere to put luggage, no chair... and it was very unclean. It seemed nothing had been cleaned after construction, as protective plastic was still stuck everywhere. The wardrobe was just a rail where the kettle and other items were also placed. At least they quickly brought me more hangers when I asked. The only really good thing was the new sun loungers on the balcony. My room wasn't cleaned, and when I inquired, I was told I had to leave my room key at reception for that. Seriously? I've never encountered that before, and it would have been helpful if they had informed me. Breakfast was very basic, and I didn't like the coffee. However, the à la carte dinner was delicious.
