Hotels in Loh Ba Kao Bay, Phi Phi Islands

Already asked my husband when we can visit again! This was my favorite beach resort we have stayed at. Staff is so incredibly helpful and organized. Resort is beautiful. Pools were amazing and location was great! Two things for others booking this resort: - learning how to get here without using the resort’s pricy transfer service was tricky! We ended up booking a ferry to the island’s northern port and found they would drop us off directly at our resort. Round trip first class cost us less than half of the resort’s charter. We also hiked the trail to the main port. Be aware: this is not a trail you can take luggage on. It’s narrow, constantly changes elevation and super uneven.  - the food and drinks in the village right behind the resort is better and much cheaper.

When I booked, I was a little worried because there were no reviews. Fortunately, I have stayed in a hotel of the same brand before. I hope my review can help you. First of all, to get to the hotel, you need to arrive at Tonsai Pier and take a long-tail boat for about 20 minutes. You can write an email to the hotel in advance and they will pick you up, but this also needs to be charged, about 500 baht per person, and the time is fixed. It is better to charter a boat if there are many people. There were 8 of us and it cost 1,800 baht. The boatman we met on the return trip was very good and only cost 1,400 baht. The location of this hotel has a problem of high tide and low tide. When the tide is low, there is no water next to the hotel, and you have to carry your luggage up by yourself. When the tide is high, the long-tail boat will directly approach the shore. To enter and exit Tonsai Pier, you can only take a boat, and the hotel restaurant is more expensive, a hamburger is about 100 yuan. For meals, I recommend everyone to go to the small village behind the Sai Hotel next to it. You also need to wade through the water when the tide is high, and you can walk through the mud when the tide is low, as shown in the picture. The first restaurant on the right at the first intersection in the village has several female chefs. I think it is delicious and I ate there twice. I don’t know the name very well. It’s a long way, but when you reach the lobby, it’s worth it.

Awesome hotel !! it’s hard to walk. The pool closes early, but such rules are on the whole island ((in the bungalow we were on the 2nd floor above the pool, there is no Internet, this is a big problem (But the hotel is clean. The staff at the reception are angry (((I liked it so much nature, silence and birds. An interesting hotel for a change.

The hotel is simply super for the money. Everything is more expensive on Phi Phi, for example, 1.5 liters of water costs 40 BAHT, and on the mainland 14 BATH. Therefore, room prices are more expensive here. 1163 BAHT for two days on PHI PHI for two. Room M27 with air conditioning, good Internet and a private bathroom, TV (we did not need it), water was supplied once. Shampoo and shower gel available. Of course, the room had some drawbacks, such as: 1) the hot water did not work, although there was a heater, we did not check it right away, and then we were too lazy to go to the reception and washed ourselves with cold water. 2) after a shower, not all the water went into the drain (incorrect floor slope). 3) our room was on the corner of the hotel and there was increased noise from motorcycles and conversations of passers-by (but this was also a plus, it was not on a mountain, but in the lowest place possible in this hotel). There was a small climb when approaching the hotel, we coped with it normally, it was training before going to observation decks 2 and 3. We did not have any horrors with lizards and other creatures crawling into the room, and there were no holes in the walls and floor. Somewhere the paint on the walls was uneven and there were no slippers 😁, but I repeat for the price we paid we did not expect 5*. When booking at PHI PHI you need to pay special attention to the height of the hotel, climbing to the observation decks along the way we met hotels located much higher than ours and guests lived in them and went up and down there several times a day. Well, do not forget about the proximity to the bars in terms of noise.

The soundproofing of the hotel is very poor. The DJ in the bar downstairs in the middle of the night stopped at 3:30 in the middle of the night. At 11 noon, the waiter knocked on the door and was very rude and almost broke out. Climbing the stairs is a bit tired, but 🈶 people help carry the suitcase to check in.

Well, the place is quite and nice, if monkeys are not jumping on the roof early morning))if you choose upper apartment you will have a small workout coming upstairs)) but nice view there though

It meets the basic requirements. It is close to the seaside and the observation deck. There are some steps to climb, which is completely acceptable.

Hotel is a it far from the pier and it was hard to find as maps don't give the proper directions. The staff were incredibly nice. My only real complaint is that the water pressure in the shower and wash sink was weird and the shower head was filled with gunk so the water just sprayed out super hard, I just unscrewed the shower head and used it like a hose which was much better.

Very dirty room, the curtains are all stained, the floors are not washed. There is no partition/curtain in the shower, so everything is flooded with water, and there are also no shelves in the bathroom (taking a shower was very inconvenient and disgusting) The bed linen has stains and holes (we hope that the stains just haven’t been washed out..) The mattress is uncomfortable. The location is good (but we didn’t find it right away, Google maps doesn’t build the route correctly) There is a slight climb up the steps. The view from the room is wonderful! Beach towels were issued upon request at the reception, water also had to be asked each time (the room was not replenished) Cleaning upon request (but in fact only bed linen is replaced) There is a kettle, but to boil it you need to use the outlet near the bed. It’s better to walk along the coast to Long Beach, it takes about 30-40 minutes (do not follow the route Google Maps builds - it leads through the mountain)
