Phi Phi Chang Grand Resort

Greetings. "Junior Suite"... a strong claim. The pool is awesome. The AC is blowing. WiFi is whining. TV is groaning. The cats are screaming. The tourists are sh***ing. Have a good day everyone.

A cozy hotel in a quiet and beautiful location. What I liked about room 216: + The room is a detached cottage with a staircase and a terrace. (There's also a block with regular rooms, not cottages.) + Spacious rooms with panoramic garden and mountain views. + Great location – away from noisy parties, yet convenient for reaching viewpoints and beaches. + Simple, homey atmosphere (quick check-in and check-out, they didn't even take a deposit). + Animals (a pony and numerous cats) lift your spirits and create a peaceful vibe. + Lots of nature, a garden, beautiful views. + I visited during the low season, and there were no other guests besides me. I barely saw the staff – a plus for introverts. The cons are minor (not critical for me) and fully compensated by the price and comfort of the place. - Many things are not well thought out (no power outlets in the bathroom) or on the table. The kettle has to be heated near the bed. - The room is a bit tired, with visible signs of clumsy renovations (broken tiles were just concreted over), but nevertheless, everything in the room works. - You might encounter occasional insects – I saw 1 ant, 1 cockroach (not critical, it's not a swarm of insects, and besides, we are in the tropics – life is everywhere here).

The hotel is a bit old and definitely needs renovation. Its location is slightly away from the hustle and bustle, but there are no steep climbs, which is a plus. A lovely pony named Tan lives on the premises and absolutely loves eating fruit.

First, the pros: – Convenient location – close to the ferry. – Friendly staff: they helped carry our luggage and allowed us to check in early. Now, the cons: – The hotel is clearly in need of renovation. – We were given a windowless room, despite windows being shown in the photos. It was very difficult to be in the room without natural light. – The air conditioning didn't work properly: it blew hot then cold air intermittently. – The bed was uncomfortable. – The spoons in the room were so old and tarnished that they were unpleasant to use – we didn't even bother making coffee. – The toilet seat was yellowed with age. We're not picky people, but unfortunately, we were disappointed this time.

Lovely resort with a pool. Very peaceful atmosphere despite being on Phi Phi. Highly recommend.

Deluxe Room: Quite basic, a bit dated, and there was a lot of mold in the bathroom. BUT! Good soundproofing, a new air conditioner, a quiet location, and the pool is large and clean with spacious grounds. There's even a horse you can feed! Excellent value for money. 👍

The rooms are a bit dated and could use a renovation. There's a pony living on the property :)
