I did not stay at the resort. I went to the beach. A dive shop recommended it as a good place to snorkel.For a beach snorkel, it was great. The beach is small. There was no one there when i went.To get to it from Pattaya beach you go over a bridge which is difficult to locate. I included a picture. Find bridge near the water and work your way back to chareena resort to find entrance. Or you can walk around and it takes about 15 minutes with lots of hills.

We visited this beach last December and swam, snorkeled and had drinks at the resort. The beach here is beautiful. So, I took a few friends there today, but I didn’t expect that when we were about to arrive at the resort after walking on the plank road, a man stood on a tree across the road and said to us: No entry! When we asked what the reason was, he just yelled rudely: If you can't enter, you can't enter... But we did not see the sign that the beach here is privately owned...

!!AVOID THIS PLACE!!Premise: All beaches in Thailand are deemed to be public land. In many answers of the reviews the owner also says that “everyone is welcome at Sanom Beach”.Specification: there were no beds or any kind of other structure on the beach + there was not a single client, so we wouldn’t have used their space.We arrived at the beach, willing to relax on a PUBLIC SPACE and buy a drink or some food from the resort for lunch.We didn’t even touch the sand that a rude lady from the terrace started shouting at us that the BEACH WAS PRIVATE and we had to go away. She mentioned a “private property” sign at the entrance, so we went away thinking that we maybe didn’t see it and that she could actually own that beach.On our way back we checked on every corner for the sign, but we never found it.We didn’t go back because we didn’t want to argue with that lady, and it wouldn’t have been a pleasant stay anyway.I hope nobody chooses to go to her place so she can be happy ;)Please take some time to read the other 1 star reviews.

Disgusted, the woman at the restaurant treated us badly,we just arrive there and she yelled at us to leave her private property (there is no sign that says that).We would have bought some beers and food, but with this attitude the only thing she earns is a bad review.There's a lot of rubbish in the small street to arrive there too.I hope people stay away from this resort, now I understand why there's a lot of bad reviews.

UPDATED: The owner of this European resort does not allow you to use “her” beach.——————I ATTACH PHOTOS AS EVIDENCE: Since it doesn't allow me to answer, I update so that you don't take anything out of context and everything is very clear:We were on the SAND of the beach under the SHADE OF A TREE when this LADY tried to throw us out in a bad manner saying that we were bothering the potential clients of the sun loungers (there was no one) by using the public sand of a public beach.This lady is using the public area used by EVERYONE to put furniture from her hotel and using that as an excuse she says that the hotel facilities are not respected. Which is a LIE since she is the one who does not respect the PUBLIC AREAS AND BEACHES of the island.Also there we all spoke Catalan, we are almost from the same town as this lady. Considering that no one understood us because we were not using either English or Thai to communicate, she screamed for help from her Thai husband, inventing that we had disrespected her.This caused her husband to confront us and on top of that he threatened us by saying that he would make us return to the main beach, forcing us to go through the water (since unfortunately the path to get to this beach passes through a corner of his neglected property).I am not an influencer, I create content for companies, generally hotels. I will explain the difference to you so that it is clear as well and in the process you learn something today:I take photos and videos that I sell to companies and hotels for them to use on their social networks or other platforms. I do not use my “influence” I take photos and videos so that companies like yours have material with which to promote their products and facilities on social networks and other platforms.I wish you a lot of peace, which is what you need.

We stayed at Sanom after few days at castaway, both were great and have their own charm.For Sanom: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1. Location is the best on the island.2. Room itself was OK, beach front was stunning, one of the best views I have ever had sleeping next to the beach.3. Hotel staff were friendly and took care of us, small things like incense against mosquitoes was provided.4. We were able to go watch sunsets on the other side of the island as it was 3 minutes walk.5. The resort is 10 minutes from the walking street but it was quiet and nice during night.6. We even saw bioluminescent planktons - amazing!7. Seats were reserved for us as resort guests, what secured for us the best spots.Best value for money i have ever had. I would probably have paid more if rooms were more equipped.. the potential is huge.Will come back for sure.💖

We had an absolutely mesmerising 4 nights at Sanom beach, which is arguably the nicest beach on Koh Lipe. It's separated from the main beach (and therefore a lot quieter) but easily accessible via a little boardwalk between the 2 beaches, by boat taxi, or via the main road.The property is owned by a lovely local, which unfortunately is rare on the island. He managed, together with the western manager, to keep big resorts at bay while the rest of the island is getting more and more developed.It's incredible value for money. Beachfront bungalows at a fraction of the price you'd get anywhere else on the island. They manage to keep these prices by only taking direct bookings, so head to the website for a great deal!The rooms are basic but comfortable. The only thing to be aware of is that they don't have air-conditioning, and the beds are slightly on the small side (however we're both 1.80/ 1.85 cm tall...). But all that is forgotten once you see the unspoiled views and friendly staff.We left after 4 nights as we'd booked our final 2 nights on the island at Serendipity resort, which was also great but secretly still left us longing for Sanom beach.Thank you Cheng and Mariona! Sending love from Amsterdam and hope to see you again :)

I loved it. Quiet and away from Pattaya Beach crowds. The fans were enough for me to sleep well. Everything very clean and cleaned daily. Lovely cat and super sweet dog always up for pets. Wonderful owner and staff who organized everything. I also really liked that Jeang the owner was born on Koh Lipe and has lots to share about life there pre tourism. They upgraded me to a bungalow right on the beach because they weren’t full. And Mariona the manager organized the best massage.

We stayed at Sanom Beach Resort for 4 nights and our stay at the Beach Bungalow couldn't have been more perfect. The beach is incredibly beautiful and thanks to the super loving and warm staff we had wonderful days in paradise. Absolute recommendation!!!

Don’t go!! The staff at the sanom beach bar restaurant/ beach is crazy unfriendly and rude - I never experienced this in my life, they didn’t want us to use the matts at rue beach and wanted 100 baht for the toilet and were really rude and didn’t even ask us if we want to drink something. They talked bad about the guests and us and are laughing about the tourists and are just after your money with rudeness and no service! Don’t go there

This quaint little resort is operated by a couple who are independent land owners. They are amazing hosts and always there to assist or advise. The accommodations are more than satisfactory and are clean and well appointed. …

On a walk across the islands, after a small romantic bridge, we came across the beautiful Sanom beach. Luckily for us, there was a bungalow available and we moved in two days later. Shortly afterwards we replanned our entire trip and stayed in this little paradise for 17 days.Mariona and Jeang have these daysmade unforgettable. This small resort is warm and friendly, attentive and familiar. The bungalows are very nicely furnished, basic (noble basic), that's exactly how we love it.The restaurant offers breakfast and food until 5 p.m., it is cozy and the cuisine is mostly Thai, you can also find chicken fingers and summer rolls. In any case, there is something for everyone.There are no plastic dishes or plastic straws here, like elsewhere on the island.On Saturday evening there is an incredibly rich fish barbeque... for all resort guests. Freshly grilled in the sand, the table was bent so much was on offer.The beach is a dream, the sand is as fine as flour, it's nice that the resort guest has a beach lounger for themselves and you don't have to worry about finding a good spot early in the morning.On arrival and departure we were picked up by Jeang in the longtail boat. Brought to the ferry.In the evening you can quickly reach Pattaya Beach where there are many small restaurants. It's about a 15-minute walk across the beach to Walking Street.Above the resort there is a small restaurant run by a Burmese woman. The food is incredibly tasty, very simple and authentic.Mariona and Jeang thank you again for the unforgettable stay in your paradise.

What can I say about this establishment. I do not know where to start:The biggest scam I have seen in the world. I don't usually post this kind of comment, but this is the first time.A dirty and polluted beach, a European type boss, speaking French with unparalleled politeness. I have never seen a person working in the hotel industry behave in such a way with their customers. I advise you to read the one-star reviews you will begin to understand. We recognize this boss with her favorite phrase. " it's not my problem. » (see some comments). She has no skills to handle the slightest problem, feels superior to people (by the way, she really doesn't have the presence to be superior to people).I'll let you look at the photos of the state of her beach, honestly for a cove that's 100 m long: She could at least clean it even if it's the public beach but it's the public beach below her hotel. I sincerely advise you to go your own way, you have dozens of beautiful beaches on the island. Believe me, you will be disappointedOut of more than 40 countries visited in the world, this is the first time that we have been received in such a way and moreover on a dirty and polluted beach.Indeed, if you go to Thailand, do not go to establishments managed by Europeans. It's better to go to the locals.I think that this establishment if it were located in France would already be in bankruptcy because the management of this hotel is so ridiculous and the service is pitiful and pathetic.Dear Owner, go for kindness training.
