Phi Phi Andaman Beach Resort

Ton Sai Bay
A very good hotel for this price. Perfect location for a relaxing holiday, great pools. The rooms have minor shoals, but the air conditioners, mattresses, pillows are new. Problems in the shower - the door did not work and the shower did not work very well. Upon arrival, the floor was dirty. But all this is not scary. Very good breakfasts: there are hot dishes, ham, sausages, toast, waffles with honey, fruits and vegetables. Tea and coffee from bags, juice is not natural. Great view from the cafe where breakfast is served. Transfer to the island can be ordered on our Phuket Plus website, we will explain how to have a great time on the Phi Phi Islands

We enjoyed our three-night stay at the hotel due to its commanding view of the area, isolation from the main town and arranging private long-tail boats tours. The hotel itself is located a short complimentary (check-in and checkout only) long-tail boat ride away from Ao Ton Sai Pier, which we had to wait a few minutes for after arriving by ferry. Once at the hotel, the staff greeted us and walked us up the several flights of stairs. Luggage is transported up to the hotel on a rail mounted cart. Our two bungalows (Bungalow West Seaview and Grand Seaview) had nice views of the Andaman Sea with lots of windows. The bungalows themselves were rather basic and would align with mid-range to slightly budget hotels. Our room was comfortable, including the bed, with all the features we needed and we enjoyed the bungalow feel with all its windows. I would have a preferred a nicer bathroom, due to the bungalows having a wet shower. The air conditioning was also a little noisy. Overall, I likely would pick the bungalow over a similarly appointed hotel with full bathroom. During our two full days, we hired a private long tail boat for 1,500-2,600 bhat/day (through the hotel). We enjoyed this option as we got to specify our schedule and got to Maya Bay before the tour groups. We also enjoyed snorkeling during our day tour. After the second day tour, I went snorkeling in front of the hotel by Shark Point. On our last morning, I asked the hotel about hiring a long-tail boat to take us to Shark Point and was quoted a 1,500 bhat, which felt really expensive considering it was a few hundred meters from the dock. I tried swimming out to Shark Point again, but the current/tide was too strong at times without flippers. You also need to be careful to avoid stepping on sea urchins. Overall, we would recommend the tours. The hotel itself is situated a 30 minute or so walk from the town center. However, we always took the long-tail boat, which cost 100 bhat/person before dusk and 150 bhat/person after. The hotel was fairly quick about getting long-tail boats to take us into town. However, hiring the long-tail boat by the pier to take us back to hotel was normally slow, as they seemed to wait for other people before departing. On one trip back (after a long wait) the boat left closer to the end of dusk and we got high-centered for a little while, due to the low tide. Typically, we would go into town in the late afternoon for groceries, arrange ferries, etc. and come back to have dinner at hotel next door. During Omicron, the town center was fairly busy near the water front, but away from main street many businesses were closed. I expect they all are open now. I preferred the quieter area surrounding the hotel and would likely choose to stay away from town center even if it meant dealing with expensive long-tail boat trips to town.

Where to start! If I could give this place minus ratings I would. Damp rooms smelling like sewage, toilet was unable to flush, the room was filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned this millennium. Also heard a mouse in the air vents. We came from a 1 star hostel previously and that had better cleanliness than this place. Whilst the resort boasted a gorgeous sea view this was unable to make up for the horrendous facilities. You’d be better off sleeping on the beach. Breakfast was included… if you can call it breakfast. A few soggy pieces of Ham, some anaemic looking eggs and some questionable noodles made up the buffet. On top of all of this when we politely asked for a partial refund due to the state of the room, we were rudely told that because we had looked at the view and swam in the pool (both included in the hotel) that they were unable to compensate us. What’s worse is that we were spoken to like children and the man was incredibly rude despite us only asking for a partial refund with incredibly valid reasons. If you have any self worth please don’t waste your time with this joke of an establishment. Will not be returning.

Ton Sai Bay
This hotel is located at the southern tip of Ko Phi Phi Don. After the ferry arrives at the pier, you need to take a water bus to reach it. It takes more than 40 minutes by land. The hotel is an independent villa type. The rooms are large and clean. It is right next to the beach. Most rooms on the terrace can see the sea. The surrounding environment is very quiet. The beach is very long, but the beach that can go to the sea is not very long. Very comfortable, it's all integrated with the hotel. The hotel has its own restaurant, there are still many choices of food and drinks, and the price is moderate. It is not very expensive. The hotel is mostly European and American, and there are many Russians. It is a holiday. Good place to relax. The service was good and standard. Is the poor network, there is wifi in the hotel lobby, wifi in some places on the beach, I have almost no wifi in the room, domestic mobile wifi has no signal, I hope the hotel can improve facilities in this area. I still like this hotel very much, I will stay there if I have the chance, and will recommend it to friends!
