Hotels in Rantee Bay, Phi Phi Islands

We had a wonderful stay at The Cove Phi Phi. The cleanliness of the rooms was top-notch and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location is fantastic—peaceful and scenic, yet not too far from the main attractions. Service was truly excellent. However, the amenities were quite basic compared to expectations—no pool or gym, and limited in-room facilities. Still, for a couple looking to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Phi Phi, this is a great choice overall.

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)

I liked the hotel, a large room, a huge terrace, not a bad view from it. The location of the hotel is excellent, close to everything on the island. But there are also disadvantages, the shower is located right from the entrance to the bathroom, it flows right onto the floor, there is no curtain, nothing, the toilet and sink are on a wet floor, you have to be very careful not to fall, the first time I flew face down across the entire floor on the tiles, then I got used to it, and it no longer bothered me.

Rooms were pretty small and basic but is fine if out most of day. Had AC but cold water showers (was fine given the heat). Pretty good location too. The staff were very hard to get hold of to organise the free pick up from the pier (not picking up phone/responding to emails/instagram) so staff from other hotels had to call them for us which worked out in the end. They offer free coffee in the mornings which is a benefit
