We loved the place, the staff and the food. It is far from the port area but it is one of its charms. The road is good to get to and at night it has automatic lights. The room is good, it has hot water and very nice views. The staff is super friendly and the food is the best we have had in Thailand. We ordered dinner on the last day (tom yum and fried noodles) and it was delicious.We would repeat 100%

We didn't stay here. While playing Pokémon Go, we came across this beach at random, the setting is magnificent and the place is calm.

A miraculous and spectacular view. Service was warm and welcoming, albeit after a long, strenuous trek through the jungle. My advice: don’t let the hot, slippery, cluttered, and unpleasant walk be your first impression of this incredibly unique resort!The room gives the impression of being old and dusty. The floors creak and groan when you walk on them (not good for me because my girlfriend is a light sleeper and I love midnight snacks from the fridge). There’s also no AC, just two decrepit, string tied fans on the wall. Don’t expect any relief from the heat outside.Fortunately, the view outside is priceless and incredible to wake up to. The walk becomes less stressful, and by the end of our stay we were able to navigate it with relative ease. Coupled in with a cheap price and a nature/creature-filled environment, I’d recommend this resort again in a heartbeat.

A complete scam, the beds are as hard as Peter's mattress. The cabins are falling apart, there is no hot water and it is a 35-minute walk from civilization. The walk is along a super narrow path without light, full of bugs and in the middle of the jungle.Also, as icing on the cake, you can hear the beach clubs as if you were there, if you are looking to relax this is not your place. The only good thing is the views; and honestly, in thailand you can find much better places with the same views.

The worst experience we have ever had. Since it is low season, they don't have a boat to take you to the hotel, they told us that it was a 20-minute walk from the port and we accepted. It took 40 minutes carrying the suitcases, a narrow path with slopes, dirt, logs...not suitable for everyone. Very far from the center.When we arrived it had absolutely nothing to do with the photos, an abandoned, dirty place... But the worst thing was the treatment by the receptionist, I told her that everything was different from the photos and she sent me away telling me " "You can make your way back." Is that any way to treat a guest? Be interested in knowing what is happening and how you can solve it. In short, paradise did not exist, we left and took a hotel a thousand times better.

One of the worst places I was in Thailand. The service was very friendly and attentive, yes, the girl was very nice, she made breakfast to order every morning. But it's the only positive thing about this place. The cabins are very shabby, old and quite dilapidated with holes everywhere that allows all kinds of bugs to enter. The site is a 30-minute walk from the port, a path that you have to take through the middle of the jungle loaded with all the suitcases because they do not have any transportation service. The heater in our room didn't work so we didn't even have hot water. It doesn't have air conditioning, just some fans that don't cool anything. It does not have any restaurant service or anything, not even to have a soft drink, it only has breakfast. You also had to be careful to leave everything closed because being in the middle of the jungle there were monkeys that could take your things. There are many other hotels on the coast with the same views and much better facilities than this one. I don't recommend it at all.

Truly the worst experience in Thailand. We did not get to make the stay since in its description it said that they had a transfer from the port to the hotel and that is not the case. Since the covid there is no that service. The workers carry your suitcase, but you have to walk along a path through the middle of the mountain (25 minutes), which is not at all comfortable. Very far from everything. They warn you to close everything because the monkeys can enter the cabin. Furthermore, the bathrooms have open windows through which all kinds of bugs enter. We ask for a refund of both nights. It has nothing of a resort.

You need an adventurous soul out of season to get there. It's complicated. …

Precious. Incredible views from the cabin. The cabin has just the right amenities, but what is really important are the privileged views! It's a dream to be able to wake up seeing the surroundings... And the monkeys on your balcony! A 100% authentic experience. To go and return with your suitcases it is necessary for the hotel to take you by boat... To go to the town you have to walk along a path that is not very well indicated (about 20 minutes) my friend hurt her finger on the rocks off the road! Still, it will be one of the most authentic experiences you can find in Phi Phi 😁

Beautiful experience, at the beginning you feel a little disoriented and far from everything, but then this becomes the strong point. Bungalow with wonderful views of the sunset surrounded by nature. Very kind staff and the lady always ready to advise and help.

An extremely atmospheric place. Peace and quiet, unless someone is disturbed by the sounds of the jungle. It's a 15-minute walk to the town, but I don't think there's any point in going there. And watch out for monkeys, there are a lot of them😁

Beautiful place, beautiful natural surroundings :) you are delighted with both the views from the balcony and the house itself. The house consists of a terrace, bedroom, bathroom and outdoor shower, and a lounge set on the balcony :) inside we will find: a set of cosmetics, towels, water, a fridge, fans, glasses, ashtrays, and a mosquito net. It delighted us with its location in the jungle :) no monkeys, we weren't able to meet them :) there is a restaurant on site where you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and drink a cold beer with a beautiful view :) the service was very nice, the price of accommodation included a boat transfer from/to and to the port :) the road to the center of the island leads through the jungle, at low tide you can also walk along the beach (it was not bothersome for us) :) you can hear the music from the beach, but that's the atmosphere of the island :) anyone who likes contact with nature will be happy :)!

Phi Phi Don being famous for beach parties, we chose this resort away from town and from the crowds for its tranquillity (so we thought), because we read that it’s only a 20-30 minutes’ walk through the jungle or a 15-20 minutes’ walk …

Friendly and helpful staff. Walk back to the resort late at night full of potential slip hazards. However amazing experience to be situated right next to the beach whilst surrounded by nature. Basic but everything you need. Also breakfast with that view is incredible.
