| A Hidden Gem in Koh Samui
I recently traveled to Koh Samui, Thailand, and stayed at the Lipa Lovely Resort in Lipa Noi, located at 95/70 Moo 2. It's conveniently close to Nikki Beach, Lipa Noi Pier, and Nathon Town.
The hotel is tucked away in a quiet spot, close to the beach and surrounded by lush greenery. The design and decor have a natural, minimalist, and refreshing style. The rooms are simple yet cozy, perfect for relaxation. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly, making check-in a breeze. The in-room tea/coffee facilities and complimentary minibar were a nice touch.
While the rooms are relatively basic, they are clean and the air conditioning works well. We opted for a sea view villa with a comfortable bed and all the necessary amenities. The bathroom, though a bit dated, had reliable hot water. The hotel's 24-hour pool and beachside lounge area are a relaxing haven.
There are plenty of nearby attractions, including Lipa Noi Beach, Suryamuni Spiritual Healing Center, and Hanako Tokyo Spa. For those who enjoy shopping and adventure, Major Safari Tour is worth checking out. For dining, The Siam Residence Restaurant and Mom's Kitchen are close by and offer delicious seafood and local cuisine.
The only downsides were minor maintenance issues, such as some wear and tear in the garden and pool area, and occasional power outages. There was also some trash on the beach at times, but it didn't detract significantly from the overall experience.
In summary, Lipa Lovely Resort was a fantastic choice for my trip, offering a relaxing and high-quality experience at a great value. I look forward to returning to enjoy the stunning sunsets and tranquil beach life 🌅.
