Hotels Near Pileh Lagoon in Phi Phi Islands

Stayed for one night, so in short; there are no toothbrushes, the water in the shower is stinky, breakfast is not so varied but quite enough, the pool is ok, the beach is not big, it’s not convenient to swim because it’s very shallow and you can’t go far because of the constantly cruising boats. Shops, restaurants, entertainment, everything is within walking distance.

We booked our trip a while ago and the reviews seemed great. The closer our trip got the reviews seemed to worsen. But we were unable to change/cancel due to the rate we booked. On arrival we were welcomed by staff and given a cold bottle of water and cold flannel and handed a big list of do’s and don’ts whilst at the hotel. Including leaving your hotel key with reception when leaving the hotel meaning your AC didn’t work whilst out and about. Coming back to an extremely hot uncomfortable room. The hotel is right next to the mosque on the island and the tannoy goes of several times a day to announce prayer including around 5:30am. Very loud. But this can’t be helped, we should have thought about this whilst booking the hotel. Walls are paper thin. We were fortunate enough to between two friends so it was only our noise we could hear but I imagine if this was a stranger it would become annoying, to the point we could hear each others conversations through the walls. We paid for the swim up bungalow villas which apparently are the best rooms available at this hotel. They were filthy (see attached photos) and need of a deep clean and some serious TLC! Also whilst showering there is a terrible foist smell from the drains. And the water pressure is low, again could be down to location. The beds were like sleeping the floor they were that hard, but apparently these are how beds are in Thailand. But the beds have been excellent on the mainland at other stays. Unable to sleep. Little interaction with hotel staff other than check in but whilst writing this review a staff member walked past our room, and spat on the ground! The pool also is in need of some TLC and a full regrout. Be careful where you’re walking as some bits are sharp and appears to be full of grit/sand on the floor. The island itself is stunning but the hotel is lacking for the cost. This is a mid-range budget hotel for the island so would expect a much higher standard. Wouldn’t return to this hotel.

The staff here were very friendly and welcoming. There is water, tea and coffee included in your stay, as well as a towel, which is really nice! The dorm room itself is clean, fresh bedding, and the air conditioning works great at night! There are lockers provided with a key to use, but they are fairly small - making the dorm rooms cramped with everyone’s luggage. The washrooms were gross, in my opinion, and in need of a good cleaning - the one toilet had no toilet paper for both nights I stayed there, and bathroom garbages were full and not taken out either of the days I was there 🤢. There is a bar/restaurant just across from the hostel as well, so unfortunately their music is heard loud and clear in the hostel until at least 1:00am - I understand this is common for Phi Phi, but I stayed away from a party hostel to avoid this. Overall, it is one of the cheaper options on Koh Phi Phi and the staff are great. If you don’t care about washrooms and going to be out late anyways, then this is a good option with a clean bed and good A/C!

Room is cosy, very clean and upper floors are way better than ground floor rooms. The property looks new and is located smack in the center of all the madness but quiet and away from it. A good 3 minutes walk from Tonsai Pier, and situated within 3 minutes walk to the Long Dalum Bay beach, a superbly beautiful beach - meant for instagrammers. Pro tip: the day tours contracted by the hotel seems to be cheaper than elsewhere and online, and it's really worth the money and time to just book directly with them. The only problem, largely, is the mosquitoes in the lobby. It's like a buffet for them.

Top hotel at walking distance from slinky beach. Good rooms. Beautiful pool and still relatively quiet but so busy. Breakfast was included and great. You can also book at their tours and boot tickets. Price is also good. I've been enjoying myself there for three nights.

The room was clean and REALLY good considering how much I paid. The location was very ideal. The guest house is close to the main areas (beach parties as well as the bars) but far enough away that you don't hear the noise of the parties, if you want an early night. It's also very close to the view point start. The staff were very nice and spoke excellent english. They were very helpful when it came to making travel arrangements and suggesting fun stuff to do! Overall very happy, would stay there again. Cannot recommend enough.

We enjoyed our staying. Yes it is not a new hotel, but it is nice and clean. The beds are just perfect. We got a wall view, but is was better than a noisy construction view. The hotel have a cool common area on the first floor so there is no problem is you do not get a window/balcony. The location is great, it is close to everything (bars, cafes ect) but absolutely quiet to sleep. Reccomend.

My husband and I booked an Ocean Cliff Villa for 4 nights and everything about this place was wonderful, from start to finish! The room had a beautiful traditional Thai feel about it with exceptional views, and we instantly felt relaxed and happy as soon as we arrived! As keen divers and snorkelers, this area is amazing with such a variety of colorful and interesting marine life, we even used one of the (free) kayak's to explore a nearby beach for more snorkeling. The restaurant served some of the tastiest Thai food we have had, and the cocktails....well what can I say?! Superb and such good value for money. Staff always greet you with a warm welcome and waved us off as we left, nothing is too much trouble and we felt like we were treated as friends from the first moment we stepped foot on the resort. The nature trail through the jungle and up to the viewpoint is well worth it, we did this twice and saw wild monkeys on the 2nd day. We recommend using mosquito spray for the jungle trek which is readily available at the small reception shop if you don't have any already. As a couple, we enjoy quiet, relaxing places (away from hustle and bustle and crowds) where we can connect with nature and this place ticked every box! A highlight was watching the crabs on the beach as we enjoyed our dinner (and a few cocktails) after the sun went down. We loved it so much, we have already reserved another 4 nights next January and are so excited to return! Thank you to all the wonderful team at The Cove :-)

Nice bungalows with all comforts, nice white beach to relax on with bar for food and drinks, they can organise boat trips and excursions for you at a decent price. Unfortunately I feel like all the famous beaches around which you are supposed to go see are packed with tourists and full of plastic, I think they should take care of the beaches where they send their clients to, our boat trip was nice but we cut it short at one point cause the beaches were too crowded or dirty. We personally picked up 2 full big plastic bags of rubbish while the boat crew set around smoking. Also the lunch boxes were not great. The Ruan Thai restaurant was very nice, book a day in advance though cause it fills up quickly. The spa also is great, very good massages and nice environment. Cute village nearby to walk to for drinks, dinner, cheaper massages and mini markets. All in all nice resort but not an unforgettable experience.

Departing from Phuket, AW's big boat + speedboat takes nearly 3 hours, passing through several scenic spots on Phi Phi Island. If the weather is good, it is pleasant to enjoy the sea breeze along the way. Email in advance to inform the time to go to the island, and the hotel staff will pick you up after arrival. The service is not bad. The overall environment of the hotel is pristine, and the beach 🏖️ and the sea water are very beautiful. The breakfast is also good, with few varieties but the taste is okay. I also enjoyed the beautiful sunrise 🌅 and the starry sky that cannot be seen in the city 🌃. There is a rocky beach at the entrance of the natural resort next to it, where you can snorkel. If you swim out, you can see a large school of fish, but because there is no coral, the overall underwater scenery is not good, but it is good to walk from the hotel. It is very close and enough for children. Go to the right along the beach after leaving the hotel. There is a food stall with delicious food. There are many boat bosses who take the business of snorkeling at sea. Generally, the long-tail boat charters 1600-1800 baht for 4 hours, which is a good price. Because it was my first time to go snorkeling, I chose the hotel's diving center for the sake of being conservative. The Italian guy who received us was very nice. The price was a bit expensive, but it was safe. The black guy who took us out to sea was also very good. He took the children to snorkel and said that they saw Nemo. The only drawback was that there were too many mosquitoes. Each leg was bitten by at least a dozen bags, which were very itchy, and the skin stress reaction would cause big lumps. I hope the hotel can have a solution here.
