Hotels near Koh Phi Phi Viewpoint, Phi Phi Islands

When you arrive at the pier, look for staff in red uniforms holding the hotel's name; they can help with your luggage. 👍 The room had neatly folded elephant towels. 👍 The air conditioning in the room was quite noisy, and I could hear the music from the bar outside. It's a non-refundable booking, so make sure to consider that carefully 🙉 especially if you book an expensive room, as there might be cheaper ones available later.

I forgot to take pictures of the room, but trust me—it’s spacious, spotless, and comes with a lovely balcony, which was a total win-win for me. The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming, and to top it off, we had a daily visitor who stole our hearts—absolutely adorable! Food-wise, we were spoiled for choice. So many options, and we especially loved the prasmanan style—buffet-style dining where you pick what you want. It was incredibly affordable and absolutely delicious. A true highlight of our stay!

I'd stayed in Phi Phi North before, but this time I chose Koh Phi Phi Don. The resort is super easy to get to, just a 3-minute walk to the left from the pier. It's a massive resort, and the two cats at the front desk were so gentle and cute! From the comfort of your bed, you're treated to an unbeatable ocean view! Breakfast was incredibly varied and even included plain congee. The pool offers stunning views of Long Beach. It's easy to book longtail boat tours for island hopping right outside the resort. The main street has self-service laundry facilities and a plethora of dining options, plus the 7-Eleven here surprisingly boasts a wider variety of items than those in Bangkok! You can also go scuba diving, and even seniors in their 70s can hike up to Viewpoint 2 for breathtaking panoramic views!

Our room was on the first floor, with only a glass door for privacy, but luckily it was quiet with not many people around. We chose to stay on the island for two nights so we could easily head out to sea the next day. The hotel is super close to the pier, only about a 5-minute walk. There are plenty of restaurants around the hotel, but you'll need to walk a bit further to find a 7-Eleven. The hotel has a pool; it's not huge, but it's perfectly adequate. The breakfast was decent; the fried rice and fried noodles were delicious. The fried noodles were actually the best I've had during my entire trip to Thailand! Too bad the breakfast menu changes daily. The room wasn't very big, and the water from both the sink and shower was seawater—the quality wasn't great, it was really yellow and salty. Definitely bring your own shower filter!

The biggest plus is the location. It's a 400m walk from the pier. The room is average, nothing fancy. Small but cozy. The bathroom is also tiny, you can't really move around if there are two people. The shower is just a hole, but there's hot water. It's a standard room. The grounds are beautiful. But the pool, that's just fantastic! There's a big pool and a smaller one for kids. The views from the pool out to the sea are also great.

The rooms were spacious and spotless, with great décor and crisp bed sheets. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a huge variety of options! The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble.

The hotel is located on top of a hill, so you need to take a shuttle bus to get up and down, which takes a few minutes. However, the shuttle only runs once an hour. Breakfast is quite basic; if you add it on separately, it costs 350 Thai Baht, or you can take the shuttle down to town to eat. For the ferry transfers, there are always staff to pick you up and drop you off at the pier, so there's no need to book in advance. I suggest increasing the frequency of the shuttle buses, ideally so they run on demand. The water park was partially open, and the slides were really fast.

1. The room hygiene was good; every corner was clean, and the bedding, towels, bath towels, and beach towels were all spotless. However, the room itself was rundown. Some bath towels had torn edges but were still given to guests. 2. The room decor was worse than that of a roadside motel. But the mattress was quite comfortable, and I slept well for these three nights, so I didn't feel too unsettled. 3. I booked a partial sea-view room, and the view was great. Room 302. 4. Getting in and out of the room daily was difficult; either you waited for a car or walked up and down a super steep hill. If you needed a buggy for transport, it was common to wait 10-15 minutes during peak check-in or check-out times. 5. The hotel's included breakfast was incredibly bad. I mean, *incredibly* bad! My 8-year-old child was charged extra, and three breakfasts cost 1200 THB (approximately 270 CNY), so paying 90 CNY for such poor breakfast was unacceptable. 6. The hotel only accepted cash and credit cards. Alipay and WeChat Pay were not accepted. While WeChat and Alipay can usually scan Thai merchant QR codes, this hotel's Thai payment QR code was for a private account, so WeChat and Alipay couldn't be used, or it would require direct transfer to a private account. 7. Service was almost non-existent. Other hotels offered shuttle services to nearby beaches or Tonsai. This hotel offered nothing but one longtail boat transfer on arrival day and one on departure day. 8. The fire dance and light show mentioned on Trip.com were nowhere to be found. 9. The two swimming pools were very small. You could reach the end in half a breath. 10. Let me talk about the most disappointing aspect. The beach in front of the hotel was in terrible condition – coarse sand, many rocks, a steep slope, and a very short stretch of beach. During the day, it was packed with people sunbathing. You had to queue for the two swings. The coral bleaching was severe. It didn't offer the conditions for snorkeling right outside the door. The shark point was a certain distance from the shore and dangerous to swim to at low tide. At high tide, it was a longtail boat route, making it even more dangerous. The Lomudi Beach behind the hotel was long and gentle, requiring a 5-10 minute uphill and downhill walk from the hotel. Similarly, the coral bleaching was very severe and heartbreaking to see. Our family of three all brought snorkeling gear, but only my dad used it. My child and I just wandered along the shore. Summary: If this hotel cost 500 CNY, it would be okay to stay. But if it's 1500 CNY like I paid, definitely don't book it. It's completely overpriced and was the worst and most boring three days of my 8-day, 7-night Phuket trip. I went to Long Beach on Koh Phi Phi specifically for snorkeling opportunities without needing to go out on a boat, like in Koh Lipe, where you find starfish, sea urchins, stingrays, clownfish, various colorful fish, sea dragons, giant clams, and countless jellyfish along the coast. But Koh Phi Phi didn't have any of that. The same rocky and coral environment had very little marine life. The color of the sea also didn't justify the effort of coming here. Furthermore, eating and shopping on Long Beach were very inconvenient. You either ate the bad hotel food or paid 200 THB per person round trip by boat to Tonsai. Eating and drinking in Tonsai were also very expensive! And it was just the same old stuff. The most fun part of the entire Koh Phi Phi was the 7-Eleven complex!!!

This is a fabulous place to stay. It’s tucked away in the corner of a beautiful beach so it’s peaceful and chilled but still walking distance (5mins) to the main shops, cafes, bars and harbour of PhiPhi. The bamboo huts are very solid and appeared to be really well sealed so no bugs getting in and excellent at holding the cool air from the air conditioner inside. Very comfy bed, soft bed linen, good pillows, bathrobes, bottled water and good quality toiletries all provided. Gorgeous bathroom with great showers. Welcome drink and snacks provided in the room. The breakfast buffet was incredible- so much choice and everything was delicious. We also ate lunch here one day and dinner here one night and both were delicious, The swim up pool bar was a real treat with happy hour 2 for one cocktails from 3-5 as well as delicious smoothies ice cream and made to order sushi available. The pool is stunning of with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. Pool towels supplied. Also possible to hire canoes and stand up paddle boards to take out on the bay. (1 hour included for free for all guests). The staff were lovely at all times. A delight to deal with at all times. Lastly yes you can hear the noise from the bar across the bay in the evenings from 10 to 2:30 am but the resort supplies ear plugs and we all slept perfectly fine every night. If you are sensitive to noise maybe bring some noise blocking ear plugs but don’t let that be the reason you miss out on staying in this stunning resort.

A porter met us at the port and kindly carried our bags to the hotel, which was a nice and welcoming start to our stay. The rooms were as described; however, the hotel itself feels quite dated and is in need of general maintenance and updating. There was a noticeable mold smell in the room initially, though this disappeared once the air conditioning was turned on. Breakfast was enjoyable, with good coffee and made-to-order eggs. The private beach was a highlight—quiet, calm, and never crowded. The pool water itself was clean, but unfortunately the surrounding area was littered with cigarette butts. While we were relaxing at the pool, another family began smoking. We informed the front desk, but no action was taken, which was disappointing, especially as there were visible no-smoking signs. The view from the fourth floor is truly spectacular. We did have one uncomfortable moment when housekeeping entered our room from the deck around 9 a.m. while we were packing. We greeted her immediately; she apologised and left. There was a Koi pond in the main lobby was sad as the fish in the side pond had insufficient water to swim upright.  This hotel could be amazing. Its peaceful location on an otherwise busy island, along with the dramatic cliffside setting and pool deck, gives it enormous potential. Unfortunately, it feels like the property has passed its peak, leaving a sense of missed opportunity rather than what it could still become.
