Ten Moons Lipe Resort

From the moment we arrived via boat to the most beautiful setting, we were breath taken! The private beach is great for snorkeling and safe for kids. Our room (no. 6) was a good size, nice balcony, some sea views and comfortable. Staff were warm, welcoming and helpful, especially the receptionist who was always smiling and super friendly. Of our 8-day stay in Koh Lipe, we spent 3 nights here. By comparison, the hotel we moved to next was marginally cheaper, also with a high (but not as high) rating. Ten Moons was the better deal!!! Pros: - Stunning location - Large glass water jug in the room (which was refilled daily using a 5 gallon water bottle rather than multiple small plastic bottles). Great to see the hotel reducing the use of plastic! - Great breakfast selection - Food available all day - Clean - Staff helpful and friendly - Life jackets, beach toys, snorkels, etc available for use for free - Quiet location/very peaceful and relaxing - Lovely sand (sand texture tends to vary in Koh Lipe however it was great here!) - Walking distance or ferry ride to walking street and more livelier areas Cons: - One of the few hotels not showing a sign or communicating/educating tourists NOT to step on coral. The by-product is that there isn’t a lot of live coral to see although there is still a lot of fish life. By comparison, we saw a hotel further down actively promoting not to stand on coral with staff educating tourists - No pool (although not needed as the sea area is more than ample to swim in) - No kayaks (available for hire at THB200 per hour nearby, less than a minute walk away) - Not for people who struggle with stairs (although there are a couple of villas on the beach without the use of stairs) We would most certainly stay here again!

Room was decent but standard beach bungalow and had to walk along the beach to get to the walking street. Staff were very friendly.

Ten Moons was amazing and the Staff even better. I am a single father traveling with my two children and this Staff predicted whatever we needed or wanted before we could speak it. Pen and Fa were wonderful in coordinating day trips for us. Somehow are room was cleaned everyday while we had our quick breakfast. Markie, Panida, LeLe and EiEi were so wonderful in the restaurant. My children looked forward to going there for every meal to be able to joke and laugh with all of them. They taught us a lot about island life and Thai language. We miss them already and will definitely be coming back as often as possible. Oh, and Smiley the dog. We will miss him too. This is an wonderful place.

Amazing place, in the very best location (best beach, in the best corner, still not hard to reach the center). The staff was simply the most helpful ever. I strongly recommend the beach front huts, we were in hut number 04 and felt great.
