    We thought the breakfast would benefit from some improvement.

    Lovely place, incredible location, great views and so nice to wake up right on the beach. Transfer from Tonsai Pier (the main village) was straightforward. Very friendly and helpful staff.

    Bed was really uncomfortable. There was no area to relax in the evening. Sitting in the restaurant area was ok but it has so many opportunities within the building that could be used for a lounge area

    Location is superb. It’s away from the hustle and bustle and really quiet. Bamboo huts were almost on the beach

    terrible breakfast, sounds cheap for what it is but you have to spend over 2,000 baht a day getting to and from the town (hardly any boats into town from Hotel). Would recommend to the hotel to hire someone who can constantly ferry people to the pier..would be happy to pay an extra £10 a day for that.

    Secluded, stunning views, clean and lovely beach, good equipment, comfortable beds and clean rooms

    The biggest problem I had here is staff and their level of service. Everything was constantly off. Breakfast was terrible.

    The ocean-view villa I had was excellent. Old and definitely in need to be freshened up, but otherwise great for a short stay to enjoy the view.

    We loved our stay! We booked for 7 nights, and it felt almost like a spiritual retreat! We reserved the beachfront cabin, and it was spectacular! We woke up every day to watch the sunrise—it was breathtaking! Also we loved the beach!!!!! We went to the city whenever we needed something, but we were always in a hurry to get back to the hotel. We didn’t like the city beaches—the water was very dirty because of the boats passing by. Too many people in such a small space… We much preferred the tranquility of the hotel. The breakfast was very good! The rooms are cleaned daily, with fresh linens and towels, and they restock water and coffee. The staff was very attentive and friendly! We felt at home! 10/10 Thank you.

    The place is in a remote locations, you can reach it basically by boat only. So you would have boats coming in at all times, even during the nights. And the huts where you sleep are of course not soundproof. So you are woken up all the time.

    Amazing location. Restaurant is of course a bit more expensive than your usual one in Thailand, but the flavour and the portions are good. Cocktails are also very very good. Staff is very kind. Would stay again

    Two stand out issues 1) Not enough loungers on the beach. This is a beach resort so comfy places to relax is critical. 2) The Thai food could be more authentic and the restaurant decor could use a little love.

    Fabulous secluded cove with nice beach. We stayed in a large comfortable villa with a spectacular ocean view. If you want to enjoy the beautiful island of Phi Phi without the crowds and at reasonable cost this is a great option. I would also recommend getting up early and walking to the view point.

    We booked the beach shack which was nice and minimalistic however the beds were quite hard and small,my partner who’s 6’3 barely fit. Although it does looks like you’ll be eaten alive by mossys, I didn’t find any inside the shack despite there being gaps in the bamboo. Overall was quite happy considering it’s 3 stars

    This is a lovely location on the quieter side of phi phi would highly recommend for 2/3 nights to get away and relax from the busy main strip. Some of the best food we had on our stay was at their restaurant. The complimentary shuttle on check in and out was fantastic.

    There was limited numbers of sun loungers on the beach, and there were no comfy covers for these. BBQ food is available some months but not during our stay. People should note that the delightful beach looses the sun during the afternoon, which can be a blessing!

    Lovely view. Trips possible and good value. Mini market with very reasonable prices. paddle boards and kayaks available at fair prices.Range of food at the restaurant. Excellent cocktails and well worth the price.Great room with excellent bathroom and separate toilet with wardrobe and draws in the corridor which helps keep the large bedroom looking pristine.Excellent views and large private balcony. Bedding and towels change daily as well as room cleaned. Quiet fridge and good air conditioner with a separate central fan. Great choice of room lighting and a helpful LED low light surrounding the enormous bed so no nasty leg injuries if one went to the loo at night! Also, there were manned electric buggies to take folk up and down to their rooms.

    Not that this is anyone's fault but I feel it's good for other guests to know before booking. The private beach at the hotel was lovely but during our stay the tide came in by lunchtime and then didn't get any sun.

    The ocean cliff villa was just stunning and perfect for a relaxing few days. The meals in the evenings were really good. We did the jungle trek from the cove which was a little tough until we got to the main road and saw all the viewpoints which were magical. If your happy to have a few days relax this is the place for you but not much to do in the evenings as you need a boat over to main bit. So if you like to party I would avoid staying here.

    Great location away from the crowds of Phi Phi. Good housereef - look out for the many long tail boats when snorkelling on the outer reef. Great food in the restaurant and fair prices and fantastic view from our bungalow.
