It's a long read, brace yourselves! We stayed in Vipa Tropical Resort for 5 nights and the trouble started right when we moved in. They showed us to the room, which was the a bungalo next to the pool. It looked nothing like the pictures of the room we booked. So I went to the reception and said ”that doesn't look like our room”. After some debate (we were told that they are fully booked and, in reality, this was an upgrade) they took us to Superior room #113. At first glance, it was the room that we booked, but then... things started to come to light... All firnuture was old and beaten down. Literary! There were bits and whole pieces missing or broken. So I made a complaint to Trip.com and demanded to either manage the situation or get me a full refund. While they promised to resolve the issue whithin an hour, we went out into town and when we got back reception was already closed (not a 24h service), so we went to our room, decided to ”sleep on it”, pulled the cover from the bed... it was stained and the blanket was dirty, like it wasn't changed from previous stay. Another call to support and there was nothing that could do about it, but to offer to wait until morning. We spent the night cramped on the couch. In the morning I went to the reception, called the lady into thr room and said ”I don't care about the furniture, but at least the sheets have to be white and clean and crisp”. She tried to tell me that those are clean, just the laundry that they use isn't doing a good job.... Again, we went out for the day and by the time we got back the sheets were white, clean and crisp. And Trip.com agent offered us some coins ”for the trouble”. After night 4, there was a knock on the door and we were offered to look at the room #114... And it was PERFECT! Just next door. The bed was clean, the furniture was brand new, the shower had strong and hotter water. Why, oh why?!?! Oh yeah, they were fully booked and just moved people around.... Besides, all the trouble, the nature around is stunning. Very green and quiet. And the cliff massively hanging above is nothing but spectacular, but... that's where the good part ends. P.S.: There waa a ”do not disturbe” sign on our door. And yet, when we got back from our day trip, there were towels and TP and two bottles of water sitting on the couch. Quite disturbing, concidering there's no safe deposit box in the room Not going to stay there again.

Excellent little hotel surrounded by palm trees! It's close to the main street, Krasnaya Road, and shopping centers. You can hear some street noise, like engines and music, but it's not too significant. The room has all the amenities, cleaning service, and great internet. There's a pleasant pool, but it's right next to a restaurant, so there's not much privacy. However, if you swim in the morning, it's not uncomfortable. On the last day, they started renovations near the pool, building a gas concrete wall. It wasn't very comfortable to be by the pool with workers, cement, and tool noises. For a couple of days, it's an excellent and inexpensive option to explore Patong. The sea is just 100 meters away with sunbeds. The waves were big, and sunbeds cost 100 baht per person. Souvenir vendors are all over the beach! The sea is warm, and splashing around by the shore, especially for children, is a lot of fun. They offer parasailing from a boat for 1500 baht per person for 10 minutes. Money exchange places are all nearby; you get 3,300 baht for a hundred dollars. We paid everywhere with cash without any problems! There's a family of squirrels living at the hotel! It's a delight to watch them!

This was my second stay at Banyan Villa Resort, and although I was a little hesitant about returning because the property is getting older, I ended up enjoying my stay. The resort has a fantastic location, just a few minutes from the pier and close to the shops, restaurants and cafés. The staff were waiting for us when we arrived by boat, which was a nice touch, and when we left they also walked us back and made sure we got onto the correct boat. The resort has an older section as well as a more modern section at the back. We chose to upgrade to the newer section for a small additional charge. The room was clean and comfortable, and the newer section definitely felt more suitable for us. Some of the bathroom fittings, such as the shower fittings and mirror, are showing their age with some corrosion, but this didn’t cause us any problems during our stay. The one issue we did have was with the toilet flush. It only worked properly if we held the button down for the entire flushing cycle. We reported this, but unfortunately it wasn’t fixed during our stay. The swimming pool is small but was exceptionally clean and was one of the highlights for us. It was a great place for a swim and to relax, although I would have liked it to stay open a little later than 8 p.m. The resort also has a pleasant garden and a huge tree at the front, which I assume is where the name Banyan Villa comes from. Breakfast was actually very enjoyable. It was served outside the resort, right next to the beach, with a lovely view of the longtail boats. There was enough food and a choice between a buffet or set menu depending on the number of guests staying. We also had a cat visiting us regularly, which added a nice homely touch to our stay. Overall, I would rate Banyan Villa Resort around 7/10. It is an older property and there are certainly areas that could be improved, but the excellent location, friendly staff, clean swimming pool, comfortable room and pleasant atmosphere made for an enjoyable stay.

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.

The rooms at this hotel are spacious and can accommodate 3 people, which is great. The room and bathroom are very clean and hygienic. The balcony with a tea table and chairs is a nice touch. Customer service is excellent; the room is cleaned daily on time. They also replenish water and coffee every day, which is very thoughtful. It's only a 15-minute walk to Ao Nang Beach.

Good old Andaman. This isn't our first time staying here. Undoubtedly, it's a perfect option in terms of both price and location. It's convenient to walk to the island's main center, yet you still feel quite secluded. The breakfast is modest, but it's there. For this price, it's perfectly fine. The room is a bit dated, but again, what did you expect for this cost? This time, a big plus was getting checked in immediately.

A porter met us at the port and kindly carried our bags to the hotel, which was a nice and welcoming start to our stay. The rooms were as described; however, the hotel itself feels quite dated and is in need of general maintenance and updating. There was a noticeable mold smell in the room initially, though this disappeared once the air conditioning was turned on. Breakfast was enjoyable, with good coffee and made-to-order eggs. The private beach was a highlight—quiet, calm, and never crowded. The pool water itself was clean, but unfortunately the surrounding area was littered with cigarette butts. While we were relaxing at the pool, another family began smoking. We informed the front desk, but no action was taken, which was disappointing, especially as there were visible no-smoking signs. The view from the fourth floor is truly spectacular. We did have one uncomfortable moment when housekeeping entered our room from the deck around 9 a.m. while we were packing. We greeted her immediately; she apologised and left. There was a Koi pond in the main lobby was sad as the fish in the side pond had insufficient water to swim upright.  This hotel could be amazing. Its peaceful location on an otherwise busy island, along with the dramatic cliffside setting and pool deck, gives it enormous potential. Unfortunately, it feels like the property has passed its peak, leaving a sense of missed opportunity rather than what it could still become.

A cozy hotel in a quiet and beautiful location. What I liked about room 216: + The room is a detached cottage with a staircase and a terrace. (There's also a block with regular rooms, not cottages.) + Spacious rooms with panoramic garden and mountain views. + Great location – away from noisy parties, yet convenient for reaching viewpoints and beaches. + Simple, homey atmosphere (quick check-in and check-out, they didn't even take a deposit). + Animals (a pony and numerous cats) lift your spirits and create a peaceful vibe. + Lots of nature, a garden, beautiful views. + I visited during the low season, and there were no other guests besides me. I barely saw the staff – a plus for introverts. The cons are minor (not critical for me) and fully compensated by the price and comfort of the place. - Many things are not well thought out (no power outlets in the bathroom) or on the table. The kettle has to be heated near the bed. - The room is a bit tired, with visible signs of clumsy renovations (broken tiles were just concreted over), but nevertheless, everything in the room works. - You might encounter occasional insects – I saw 1 ant, 1 cockroach (not critical, it's not a swarm of insects, and besides, we are in the tropics – life is everywhere here).

Since 2019, passing by this hotel's grounds, we've dreamed of staying in a first-row bungalow with a sea view. It's a secluded spot, away from the island's center and the hustle and bustle of tourist streets. In 2025, we stayed in room B115 at this hotel. We loved it so much that we rebooked for our 2026 vacation – a Premier Villa Deluxe, first-row, with a sea view and breakfast, for 5 nights from April 23rd to 28th. This time, we were checked into Villa B110. At this hotel, it's better to pay a bit more and stay on the first or second row. There are rooms on the hillside, and it can be tough walking uphill. Love Beach is nearby, an excellent beach. And if you walk a little further to Long Beach, you'll find a living aquarium. Bring your masks! There's an incredible variety of fish there. There's also a relaxation area with a pool and sun loungers, which is really convenient in case of big waves. The weather was great during our stay, but we still went to the pool. The water in the pool was warm. Our room had a fridge, safe, kettle, a 19-liter bottle of drinking water, and small bottles were brought daily. There was a large balcony with a beautiful view, featuring two sun loungers, a table, and two chairs. The bed in the room was soft and comfortable. In the evenings, all the pathways were lit up. Breakfasts were varied, delicious, and buffet-style. Coffee was from coffee machines. You could sit on the covered veranda or on the open veranda with a sea view. Upon check-out, they took us to the ferry by boat, free of charge. This is the first hotel we've ever stayed at twice. And of course, if we visit this island again, we'll rebook. We usually try to stay at different hotels, but we really, really loved it here. It’s quiet, surrounded by nature, close to the sea, and has the best beaches on the island. As for cons, it's a bit far from the island's center. But we still walked to the fire show, which happens every evening near Slinky Bar, and to Phi Phi Viewpoint 1 and 2 for the sunset. I recommend this hotel, but choose rooms with a sea view.

This hotel stay was very nice. The pool view is stunning The hotel owner is very helpful and friendly. She even upgraded our room without extra cost . She even organised someone to pick us up and carry our bags from the pear and from hotel to pear at check-in and check out . She even keeps our bags in a place near to pear for us to pick up in the afternoon for our ferry trip. Staff is very friendly too. We really enjoyed our two days stay and definitely recommend this hotel stay Will come back again with my family See view villa was the one we stayed it was the best
