It’s a beautiful place to be, very nice and recommended. The only inconvenience is that the taxi boat drivers were kind of rude. I know they don’t speak very much English but still the majority were rude. It’s a pity because in general the place is amazing ✨

The beach is beautiful, there is a nice resaturant and sitting area. You can take tour boat from the hotel. There are no seats on the beach and its about 2 km from town and you have take a boat Or walk which could be a problem if rains or late at night.

Great value for long beach location
Really enjoyed our stay and would happily return in the future. The room was dated internally but it was clean, everything was in working order and the air conditioner seemed fairly modern. The rooms are surrounded by beautiful mature gardens with plenty of flowers and butterflies and you are seconds away from the beach. This location isn't for everyone (especially if you came here for the night life)as a boat is required to get back and fourth to the main town but it suited us perfectly. The main town was very crowded, even in low season, and didn't really feel like an island unless you were next to the shore. Long beach is by far the best beach on the main island and was much quieter. The food at the restaurant was better than expected. Previous comments have mentioned the rude staff and although they did seem a little uninterested, at no point did we find them rude or difficult to deal with.

A lovely place to chill out and relax. Staff were so friendly and the food good. Lot's to do if you want including walk into town, walk to see the viewpoint, kayaking, snorkling etc, etc. Well recommended.

Beautiful traditional Thai resort on an absolutely beautiful beach. Not many tourists visiting on day boats because of Covid. Large attractive beachfront room with a deck and deck beds (though mostly without internet). TV was not hooked up. Cleaning staff was superb. Never had breakfast. Food was decent. Service was great. The longboat guy could be more service minded. I had to get my sneakers and socks soaking wet to get on the boat out of there. I probably should have said something. You’ll love the beach and water out front.

We spend two nights here and had to move rooms twice as the accomodation we booked was not available. That said the rooms were delightful and close to the beach bit there is a fair walk from the hotel to the main strip. There are options to take a water taxi but i would recommend the scenic walk option as it is certainly different

Can’t beat the location if you want somewhere a bit quieter. It’s about a 25 min walk from Tonsai and 5 mins by taxi boat - 100 baht for one person. The hotel is right on the beach and the rooms are authentically Thai. Air conditioning worked well. Beds are a bit hard but no dramas. Hotel staff really lovely and helpful. Breakfast is decent - cooked & continental included in the breakfast buffet. We extended our stay for another 2 nights.

This is a great place to stay away from the main town but not so far that you feel isolated, only 30 minute walk along beaches or a short long tail trip. The beach is great for swimming and is clean. My bungalow was spacious, clean and comfortable and all the staff were really friendly and helpful. The outside massage area is a nice touch and the restaurant had a good selection of food and cocktails. I felt so comfortable here that I ended up extending my stay for an extra night! The only problem I had was that my air con wasn't very powerful, but being 20 seconds from the beach it didn't bother me much. I definitely recommend staying here!

Koh Phi Phi is Worth It
We were told by many people to avoid Koh Phi Phi because it’s too busy and too loud. I totally disagree, although it may be loud in town later at night - we don’t know because we stayed at Long Beach. It was a good choice because it’s only 200 bht for two to get into town by Longtail Boat (5min). The Resort It’s all bungalows and they’re nestled into the local forest. It’s very pretty. The bungalows are much nicer than they look in the pictures, although the beds are hard (typical in many Thai hotels). It was really nice sitting on our deck and partaking of a beverage each evening. The breakfast was average but okay. The beach is nice (soft white sand) nestled in a bay with 3-4 other resorts, and with a nice view of the bay and Koh Phi Phi Leh (smaller one of the 2 islands). We’ve been on nicer beaches but no complaints. You MUST go into town. It is a really cute little town with cobblestone streets and no vehicle traffic (except for bringing in goods). That makes it so nice to walk around. Prettiest town we’ve seen in Thailand. We stayed four nights and did a Longtail Boat trip around the small island. I would say three nights would have been enough though. We can’t say anything about the night life as we’re an older couple, but we did see lots of bars so it probably hops at night.

Great beach, location on Long Beach. Service was horrible, as other reviewers have noted. But we didn’t spend much time in the facility so it was just a nuisance. Hotel staff was unhelpful in booking tours, went next door to and the other hotel set us up. Facility was fine for a bungalow, clean enough.

Good food at restaurant with plenty more options along the beach, or a short 20 minute walk into to Tonsai or 5 minute boat ride. . Overall great stay.

Idyllic setting. Staff need to smile more.
First impressions were great. Here's a secluded spot away from the rest of the island. We had a lovely meal and slept very well. Breakfast was tasty and filling. From there on things got a little concerning. As we were quite isolated we ended up having all our meals there. Food is excellent and quite cheap. However, we rarely got a greeting or smile from the waiting staff. They were somewhat inattentive, almost aloof. On our last day we wanted to arrange an island hop excursion by speedboat - something advertised right outside reception. When we asked if we could book it, they just stared at us blankly and told us they didn't organize such trips. So we walked 5 mins down the beach and booked it there no problem. It's a shame because the accommodation is lovely, food exceptional and location beautiful. There's plenty of friendly felines which kept us amused. The taxi boat men were helpful too. This hotel can be improved with a bit more hospitality and less indifference.

Not a nice hotel or stay :-/
The bed sheets had dried blood stains and they nickel and dime you at the hotel. You have to pay 20baht to use the bathroom in the reception when you are already staying there? Also, the service was not friendly at all. I asked to switch out used beach towels for new ones and they were grumpy about it. Also, for a hotel that caters to tourists, the staff barely speaks English or understands basic requests such as 1) can I please switch these towels out for new ones? 2) How much is it to rent snorkeling gear? The only pro is that it’s the only hotel with the biggest amt of land for Long Beach.

Magnificent spot, beautiful beach, the bungalow was pretty from inside and outside. Bathroom is simple but working. The boat ride to town is quite expensive (150bth/pp but transfer to and from hotel is free). Hiking to town is 35 mins minimum. Breakfast poor. Better order from the menu.

Nice hotel on the Long Beach
I booked this hotel for 3 nights. The hotel justified expectations - excellent well-groomed, beautiful territory, good rooms in the Thai House bungalow, there is everything you need. It seems that in all other accommodation options everything should be fine. The hotel is located away from the island civilization - for some it's a minus, for us it was this time an informed choice. The central part of the island has seen enough of past visits. Going back and forth is often problematic. From the pier to Long Beach about 30 minutes, if on foot. On rough terrain, this is more a hike than a walk. The restaurant has a very good table arrangement - with a chic look. Beds and benches are designer style. Kho Phi Phi is a great place!

Hotel was so beautiful! Perfect location amazing scenery!! They pick you up and drop you off from pier when arriving/leaving. Very cute rooms with nice balconys with sea views. However staff was very unfriendly and not helpful. No one smiled or said hello which was not the norm for our other thai experiences. When getting on off the boats the guys saw we were struggling with our luggage and just watched us instead of offering to help..but overall a great stay because of the location and scenery.

Perfect view, wonderful beach
Stayed here 4 night and loved how quiet it was. The beach was so beautiful, white soft sand and you can snorkel in the ocean right outside the hotel. A long tail will take you to and from the resort to town for 100 bhat . However pick up and drop off at the pier before and after your stay are free. It’s a 30 mom walk to town from the hotel and we did the walk daily. The path is lit up at night but could be a little step for some people or with kids. Great access to the view point. Great spread for breakfast. Meals are around 180-300 bhat and drinks around 250 bhat. Room was cleaned daily which we didn’t really feel is necessary but that’s not bad thing. The view is out of this world amazing and so worth booking here! Would recommend for a quiet stay in Phiphi with great beach!

Beautiful area, loved the restaurant!
We loved this hotel! When our ferry arrived from Phuket, we were greeted by a hotel representative on the dock who took us to the hotel via long-tail boat (just let them know when you will be arriving). Check-in was easy and we received assistance in getting our bags to our room. The bungalow itself was very cute, but you definitely get what you pay for - the bed wasn't the best and the bathroom could use an upgrade (only reason the hotel doesn't get 5 stars). Luckily, Koh Phi Phi is so beautiful that you don't spend a lot of time in the room! The staff assisted us in signing up for a Maya Bay tour (easy process)- the tour boat left from right in front of the hotel and returned us back to the same beach, which was very convenient! The beach itself is gorgeous - the view cannot be beat! We loved the restaurant - it was so convenient and offered incredible views! Free breakfast included made-to-order omelets, oatmeal, fruits, bagels, cereal, etc. Would definitely recommend!!

Paradise
we're a family of 4 including daughters of 17 and 19. The courtesy long tail pick and return worked well from wharf to resort. No glitches at all. Once settled the longtails get you to the Phi Phi village back in no time at all although on one occasion the wait was 10 minutes but, heck, who cares when the setting is so lovely. Alternatively there is a lovely +-2km coastal track into the village which is a nice option if not heavily laden. The setting is very attractive nestled the behind beautiful Long Beach with its crystal clear waters and white sands. The lush setting makes it an attractive resort. Options for eating are adjacent beach or in the traditional restaurant (which was not used mush due to the superb weather). A well stocked shop offers most consumables, confectionary, medical, and general supplies. Staff were efficient and helpful. Rooms were cleaned well, of good proportion and very comfortable even though our unit had a king bed and 2 x doubles in a single room but we're used to this. Worth checking configurations. The gardens are attractive and each unit has a private patio. The beach gets visitors during the day so gets buiser but the beach vacates again as the day progresses. Still relatively quite in comparison the Phi Phi village which may not suit the younger traveler. Longtails run all night ... or so it seemed. All in all - excellent
