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.

We stayed at Centara for 5 days. The hotel area is small. We were checked in an hour earlier. Polite helpful staff, transfer from the pier to the hotel is about 20-25 minutes by boat for a fee, 1800 baht for the whole boat (if there are many of you) or 500 baht per person. Pros: large room, comfortable beds, comfortable pillows, incredible view from the balcony, throughout the territory, there is a transfer on the hotel grounds (it is difficult to walk in the heat up a steep mountain), a clean small pool. Nearby is a small village where you can eat and go for a massage. A little further is the Saii hotel. There is practically no beach. Just below the pool there is a concrete wall, you need to go down a slippery staircase, this is the beach). Breakfasts are meager, buffet, small selection. European cuisine is excellent, but Thai is lame.

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.

The hotel has three room categories, and on the website there is only one, the best one, but you can check in to any. On the first day we were checked in to a bungalow without a window, the air conditioner did not work well. On the second day we were moved to the main building, the refrigerator did not work there and you could hear your neighbors at night, which prevented you from sleeping. The rooms inside are nice, the beds are average in comfort, ok for a couple of days. The pool is always in the sun after 12. The guy at the reception is very nice, tries to help.

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)
