Phi Phi Islands Beach Hotels

"I'd stayed in Phi Phi North before, but this time I chose Koh Phi Phi Don. The resort is super easy to get to, just a 3-minute walk to the left from the pier. It's a massive resort, and the two cats at the front desk were so gentle and cute! From the comfort of your bed, you're treated to an unbeatable ocean view! Breakfast was incredibly varied and even included plain congee. The pool offers stunning views of Long Beach. It's easy to book longtail boat tours for island hopping right outside the resort. The main street has self-service laundry facilities and a plethora of dining options, plus the 7-Eleven here surprisingly boasts a wider variety of items than those in Bangkok! You can also go scuba diving, and even seniors in their 70s can hike up to Viewpoint 2 for breathtaking panoramic views!"

"It's a cute place, very simple. Staff was helpful, and we checked in quickly. They let us check in a bit early, as soon as the room was ready which was nice. Not much going on in terms of the room itself. Nice bed, average bathroom, but the outside small patio area for each room is a nice touch. *Picture is not from the hotel"

"We had a truly wonderful stay at Chaokoh Phi Phi Hotel & Resort. From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our visit. The hotel is perfectly located on the island—just a short walk from the pier and surrounded by great restaurants, which made exploring Phi Phi both easy and enjoyable. Our room offered a beautiful garden view, and being near the pool added to the relaxing atmosphere. The rooms themselves were spacious, comfortable, and kept spotlessly clean, which made our stay even more pleasant. Everything felt well maintained and thoughtfully arranged. Overall, this hotel provided the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. We would highly recommend Chaokoh Phi Phi Hotel & Resort to anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet place to stay while enjoying the charm of Phi Phi Island."

"I stayed for 6 nights and experienced three different room types. I stayed twice in a partial sea view villa, which I think might be the most suitable room type at the resort. The layout is quite reasonable, the facilities have been maintained, and there was little to no odor in the restroom. The location is elevated, offering absolutely stunning views. The beach is very clean, and the seawater is crystal clear. It’s a great place to quietly relax and unwind. The overall environment is lovely, situated at the southernmost tip of Long Beach. It's mostly hotel guests, with few outside visitors, making it much quieter compared to Koh Phi Phi. The front desk service was excellent; you can request a car anytime, and they are quite efficient. The restaurant supervisor, Jingdan, speaks Chinese. He is very humble, warm, and helpful. I asked him to help me find a cardboard box for packing, and he patiently assisted until he found a suitable one. When I couldn't find some items, he also enthusiastically helped me search, which was very heartwarming. There's also another beach behind the mountain with very few tourists; it's worth checking out. Drawbacks: Transportation to go out is inconvenient. To leave, you need to take a small boat, which costs 100 baht per person one way during the day and 150 baht at night. Considering this, I ended up eating all my meals at the hotel restaurant. The food tasted good, and I enjoyed it. The rooms are built along the mountain, and the slope is quite steep. Walking up and down can be difficult, so for the elderly or those with mobility issues, this place might not be the best choice. Although the hotel offers shuttle service, it still felt inconvenient."

"Good location that is slightly away from the busiest streets. Doesn't prevent from hearing music from the nearby club at night however, although I suspect it depends on where your bungalow is, ours was closest to the busy part. But the view is nice, it's not loud during the day and the room is great. It looks new, its spacious, AC and water all work well. There is a safe. Some stairs to get to the bungalow like other reviews said, its inconvenient especially with large luggage but not bad walking to and from your bungalow every day. Internet was extremely spotty and on many nights didn't connect at all."

"When you arrive at the pier, look for staff in red uniforms holding the hotel's name; they can help with your luggage. 👍 The room had neatly folded elephant towels. 👍 The air conditioning in the room was quite noisy, and I could hear the music from the bar outside. It's a non-refundable booking, so make sure to consider that carefully 🙉 especially if you book an expensive room, as there might be cheaper ones available later."

"The hotel is in a nice location, a little bit further away from the main town but nice and quiet with its own section of beach. The huts themselves are nice and have easy access to the sea if you want to swim in there. Sadly our stay wasn’t great, everything in the hut felt sticky and not that clean to the point that we didn’t really want to walk around without footwear. The duvet didn’t have a cover on it which wasn’t great. You can hear everything from the huts around you and we had a loud neighbour that would be talking loudly in the middle of the night and just to top it off we had to get multiple cockroaches removed from our room which really wasn’t what we were expecting from somewhere which was quite expensive for Thailand standards. I can’t say I would stay again or I would recommend this accommodation."

"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."

"We had a great stay overall. The staff were outstanding — friendly, helpful, and professional at all times. The food was excellent with plenty of variety, and the beach was absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. One important note: the bungalows vary a lot in quality depending on the location/number. The 1XX bungalows (101, 102, etc.) are modern, clean, and very nicely designed. However, the 4XX bungalows (409, 410, etc.) are noticeably lower quality — older, less comfortable, and not at the same standard as the rest of the resort. Despite that, we really enjoyed the experience and would recommend the hotel, especially if you can book a bungalow in the 1XX range."

"Upon arrival, things got off to a bit of a rough start. Room 210, while advertised with a sea view, had a very limited one, which wasn't a huge deal. The most unpleasant part was the leaky pipe by the toilet. My request to switch rooms with the front desk wasn't successful. After adjusting my mindset and accepting it, it was fine—the water was clean anyway, and I was there to relax, so no need to dwell on it. However, I do recommend the hotel renovates soon, otherwise, it's a waste of such a beautiful location. Summary: 1. The facilities are indeed old. The exterior looks okay, but the interior is too basic. Friends accustomed to five-star hotels might find it hard to adapt. I had to comfort my child and convince myself, but once I accepted it, it was fine. 2. If you want a true, unobstructed sea view room, be sure to communicate with the hotel beforehand. Only rooms starting with '1' will do. The higher the room number, the higher up the hill it is, so be prepared for a cardio workout every time you head back to your room. 3. The service was generally good. I didn't feel any prejudice or mistreatment towards Chinese guests. The porters who helped with luggage were the best. 4. Cat lovers will overlook all the negatives and fall in love with this place, just like my son. He initially complained about everything, but after bribing many cats with cat food to hang out on our balcony, he was very sad to leave."
