Top 10 Rainforest Hotels

We had a wonderful stay at Ananya Lipe Resort. The location is perfect, with crystal-clear water, soft white sand, and breathtaking sea views. The resort is beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. Our room was comfortable and spacious, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring the island. Breakfast had a good variety of choices, and the beachfront restaurant offered delicious food with an amazing sunset view. We especially enjoyed relaxing by the beach and taking beautiful photos around the resort. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and we highly recommend Ananya Lipe Resort to couples, families, and anyone looking for a peaceful tropical vacation. We would definitely love to come back again!

The bungalows are located on the most picturesque beach, and there are free sun loungers. Breakfasts are delicious, buffet style; the selection isn't huge, but you can always find something good. There's a free transfer to and from the Pier, and in the evenings, they offer rides to the walking street. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help in any situation.

The room was a bit dated. I'm not sure if the hotel was fully booked, but we were assigned a pool villa with a sea view that was somewhat obstructed compared to other room types. Our room was in the upper-level area, so the walk to the beach and back was quite long. It was so tiring that we didn't even want to leave the room for a second round! Overall, the experience was a bit disappointing. Fortunately, the room itself was comfortable and clean. My kids had a great time playing in the pool and on the beach. However, the hotel's cliffside restaurant was also a letdown. While the scenery was superb for photos, the food quality was truly mediocre. In particular, the signature lobster was a real miss – it was bland and the shrimp meat was overcooked. The taste was very disappointing, and the price was a bit high, making it not worth recommending. On the positive side, the hotel breakfast was decent, and the in-room dining experience was also very good. How should I put it? These 'influencer-hyped' hotels aren't for long stays; it's fine to experience them once, as long as you manage your expectations for any potential letdowns!

Really convenient direct access to the beach from room facing ocean, and sunrise view is the best! Plenty of power sockets around the room, big comfy bed, however, water pressure in shower is rather low and quite a lot of mosquitoes in the evening. Overall, stay was memorable and staff are helpful and warm.

Absolutely brilliant. The staff were there to pick us up off the boat and take us straight to the hotel, really easy check in and the place was lovely. The Anda Lipe staff really made our stay. When asked if they could help out with decorating the room for my partners birthday, they went above and beyond and really made the day special and decorated the room lovely. The breakfast was great, lots of options. The free coffee all day is a really nice touch. The room was comfy, spacious and well equipped. Overall, the stay was amazing. Would really recommend to anyone coming to Koh Lipe.

Was a bit far from the main area, and the hotel provided only one shuttle per day. We actually booked a room with a different design and got a completely different room. When we asked to see the other rooms, they showed us rooms with the same design as the first, instead of just saying they renovated the room. We didn’t get any compensation for this inconvenience. Some of the buildings needed renovations. The whole floor around our room was super dirty and disgusting. A lot of stairs in the hotel if you want to go down to the beach and restaurant area. Also was pretty expensive and was not worth the price in my opinion. Pros - very nice breakfast. Gorgeous beach area. Nice staff. Clean room.

This hotel is just 200 meters from Pattaya Beach Pier, a bit quieter than The Ananya. Walking Street is also very close if you walk along the beach. The breakfast was decent, and the Thai milk tea was delicious. The service was good too; they helped us with our luggage and took us to the boat, which seems to be standard for island hotels – something Koh Lipe does better than Koh Samet. We went during the low season, so the prices were cheaper, and there were fewer people. The pool was practically empty. You have to pay to use the hotel's kayaks, whereas the one at The Plantation was free for two days, though the kayaks there weren't as good as Akira's. The room was large and quiet, and the 2-meter bed was very comfortable. I recommend this place.

This hotel has an amazing sense of style — everything feels thoughtfully designed and really stands out. The atmosphere is modern, unique, and super inviting. What truly made the stay special, though, was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and always smiling, which made us feel comfortable from the very first moment. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish place with great service.

The position of the bungalows are right on sunrise Beach. We had bungalow number three which is on the beach from and perfect every morning. I don’t think I would want to stay in any other bungalows past the first two rows they’re basic but sufficient and we had a great stay here. There are lots of boats, but it really isn’t a problem. Easy to walk to walk straight probably 10 to 15 minutes. The breakfast was basic but sufficient I would stay here again.
