Phi Phi Natural Resort

Its very far from everything. You have to take a 35 min ride on a boat, the hotel provides a discounted rate for guests. If you dont like to walk or if you cant walk uphill, this is not for you. The hotel helps you with your bags when you get there and when you leave, but for everything else, get ready to walk up and down, its a kind of cabañas connected with roads set up (beautifull set up). When you get there, basically you stay there. There is a few restaurants with good food and one convinience store. You can only enjoy the beach before 2pm, after that, forget about it, the tide takes the sea away and you only are going to able to get your tip toes wet, so, because all the tours are in the morning, maybe you are going to be able to enjoy the beach if you dont go to any. Food and drinks are kind of expensive. I can say drinks are more expensive, like double more. Over all, the hotel set up was beautiful, the staff was very helpfull, the guy selling the tours next to the front desk speaks spanish!!! (Personally I was impressed so I have to mention it) food was very good.

My expectations were high because of very high price, four stars and impression by net info, however when we were shown our "regular"rooms, it was apartment rooms in an apartment building farthest away from the water. Terrible. Couldn't even see the sea. Reception, restaurants and breakfast close to/by the water. As with many places I´ve seen, they seem old, worn down, not well taken care of. big plastic tubes on the beach from "machine" buildings.
