Ko Lipe Hotels

Mountain Resort: Rude Staff on the mountain

The staff at the hotel especially the chinese lady at the reception was very dismissal and even though we had confirmed bookings she was reluctant to handover the room keys. After a call to the tour operator this was resolved but hardly what you would expect after a long boat ride from the mainland. Food was mediocre at best and the restaurant had many mosquitoes at dinner time. No attempt was made to fumigate the place or burn mosquito coils. Though eventually on our last night we saw them attempting to burn a few coils to cover the whole open restaurant area.

The views are fantastic but only for the 8 Deluxe sea view chalets as the others are blocked by this row or are facing sideways.

The Reef Hotel - Koh Lipe: Relaxed and cozy

Hi
Just wanted to share my stay at this relaxed Hotel at Koh Lipe.
Me and my girlfriend arived in the middle of jan. 2009 and only wanted to stay at Koh Lipe for 3 days, but ended up staying for 11 dayes at The Reef Hotel - Koh Lipe.
The Reef had a relaxed and very friendly atmusfare. The rooms was cleane and the bed was a high standard. 150 meters away is Sunrise Beach witch in my view is the best beach on Koh Lipe.

I will be comming back to that place next year :) www.thereefthailand.com

The Reef Hotel: The Reef Hotel No regrets!

Hello everyone,

I have been to Koh Lipe several times and every time I've lived in different resorts, but I must say that on this island, I never got so much value for my money as I got at The Reef Hotel.
The hotel is located on a hill about 150 meters from Sunset Beach, so not directly on the beach, but but very easy access to all the beaches on Ko Lipe.
It has both aircon and hot water, and there is always clean in the rooms, Which also large and comfortable to live in, there is a super nice staff, Which always ensure that everything is okay.

in addition to the amazing living facilities, is a nice balcony from where you can enjoy a view over the chao ley village, koh adang and also sunrise beach. At the reef there is also a bar and a cozy lounge, for a small party :)

But the best part is that it only cost 1200 Baht pr. night.

I would recommend anyone to stay at this location because it is simply here to get the most value for your money.

Everything got to my friends at The Reef, I will certainly return next year.

A stand out facility at The Reef Hotel is definitely the view from the Balcony, this you will not find on any other location on koh lipe.

A i wrote in the review, the large rooms and the price/quality.

Thai Hut Resort: Rude Owner!!

On first sight, the Thai Hut Resort on Koh Lipe looked more professional than most and being away from the beach, I thought I would get a more peaceful night. However, it didn't live up to my expectation at all. On arrival, my reservation was nowhere to be found making my many overseas phone calls a waste of time and money. I was also charged more than originally agreed. Then I was left with a very uncomfortable feeling on hearing disgruntled staff arguments behind the restaurant late at night. When i tried to change my hut away from the hot daily sun I was completely ignored and the staff simply disappeared. Finally, my hut was left uncleaned for several days and when I did manage to speak to the owner, I got a shocking reply.. "If you don't like then leave!". Of course, I did immediately but then as I tried to check out the owner tried to charge me for a meal twice and refused to listen to my protests.
Not to be undone, I hunted around and stayed at Daya which was very basic but the staff were a delight after the Thai Hut. Koh Lipe is a truely wonderful island so don't let one rude owner put you off!

Absolutely no great redeeming features at all!

Moonlight: Koh Lipe new accomodation 2009

The Moonlight Resort is very new and opened November 2009. Right on Pattaya Beach, the accommodation is above basic and very clean making it great value for 600 bahts a night. The manageress, Noo, is a lovely pleasant person and can help you with all your fishing and diving trips. They have internet at the front desk as well as a small shop and a 'juice booth' from which they can make fresh cool drinks to sit and watch the sunset. Best of all, they have the only spa which is situated on a 2nd floor (above the reception) giving you not only great views of the ocean but making it also the most private in Koh Lipe. Can highly recommend!

The spa is in my opinion the best along Pattaya beach
