Koh Lipe Hotels with Bars

Great Escape Hotel. We went to Lipe to celebrate my mother's PhD graduation, but a massive storm near Lipe delayed our trip and forced us to enter the back side of the island. Although, the hotel's concierge team knew where to pick us up (along with our stuff). We got a warm welcome when we arrived at the hotel. It seemed like our hotel restaurant was the only open place on the beach that day due to the heavy storm, but the food was excellent. Some shops on the walking street opened for us to buy souvenirs. However, our family still had a good time together. When we stayed, our rooms were clean and neat, but there were a lot of leaves in the pool.

Nice beach, good location in proximity to all restaurants and walking street. However, breakfast as quite poor, we was charged for second breakfast even though 2 breakfast were included in room when booked. Lady barmen is really really rude and unreasonable..prices charged really randomly… The pool is good, however swimming towels only can be changed once a day…

Looks quite new compared to other hotels, a/c works all the time even when you go out and take a card key which is very nice. And it cools down the room incredibly, a must in April and May. We liked the room but there’s an area for improvement: you can see some impurities here and there: old bedsheets with stains, the tub in the bathroom with some part falling off. They are not big, but better to fix them. The breakfast is amazing, a lot of options, even the noodles station, the roti station, ice cream and bloodie mary station hahaha A lot of good fruits such as rambutan, passion fruits, etc. not just watermelon and dragon fruits like at other hotels across Thailand. Sunrise beach itself is a bit disappointing because of the amount of boats there and almost no place to swim but this hotel has the designated beach where you can enjoy swimming and definitely some good sunsets. Overall it’s a good place to stay for more than a day if you want to stay at the sunrise Beach area, but my personal favorite is the North pole beach (20-25 min walk along the beach). Things to improve: - service staff should be careful with bags, I know they try to be helpful but one of the guys broke a handle of my carry on bag. - Starbacks cafe on the beach — this is a disaster, they advertise other as a Starbucks coffee shop, with the original drinks and recipes but for 180 thb they will give you iced milk instead of iced cappuccino. Better to buy some good medium roast beans from the Borth of Thailand and serve proper coffee. You don’t need that Starbucks brand definitely.

The scenery is beautiful, but there is no air conditioning! ! So it gets really hot at night. The most troublesome thing is that the air conditioner brings the problem of mosquitoes, and some of the mosquito nets are too short to be effective. Friends who are afraid of heat need to choose carefully. The hotel has many services. The PADI dive shop is located in the hotel and provides rental of various equipment. Located at Sunrise Beach, watching the sunrise in the morning is an excellent view.

It was good in general but a bit below expectations from a pricey 4-star hotel. Territory is nice, breakfast is good. The rooms are not isolated well enough which led to insects and wild life making its way inside and us chasing it away. The safe broke down 2 days before our departure, so it was a hassle to wait for someone to open it, and it was not fixed the next day, so we had to carry valuables with us which was inconvenient.

We had a fantastic stay at the Resort which was very conveniently located close to the jetty landing. Being situated at the end of the Sunset Beach, it was less busy and expose to the general public, making it rather private. We had to change the room the first day due to a plumbing issue in one of our rooms. The resort was also very accommodating in changing the 2nd room to a ground floor unit as I’d suffered a knee injury prior to the holiday. The daily buffet breakfast had wide choices and something to look forward to even after 4 nights. Kudos to the ever helpful receptionists and Boy who was super helpful and informative. Will definitely be a choice of stay again.

The concept is pretty nice, but the bungalows are quite outdated — we stayed at 3 different hotels (2 on the sunrise beach, 1 at the north pole) and all the hotels are a bit oudsted inside. The girls at the reception were great, helped us with everything we asked for. The territory is not that big, compared to other resorts. But very green and a nice layout. The biggest disappointment was the a/c — it was old and very noisy, even at the minimum fan level, and obviously couldn’t cool the room down. In April and May a/c is the first thing that must work properly cause it’s extremely hooooot. The bathroom at the balinese villa is huge, but there is not air circulation, so after you take a shower be ready for a weird smell — not from pipes, but from the humid space with no ventilation. One more thing we didn’t like was that there was no shower or faucets in the beach area — so when you’re done with your beach activities and head back to the room you won’t find any water to help you get rid of the sand. We had to use the pool for that reason. The breakfast is pretty simple, it’s not a buffet, but you can choose different options from the menu. Very basic taking into account the price you pay for the villa — for the same price you will get an amazing buffet at the Idyllic concept next door with plenty of options, including noodle station, roti station, ice cream, etc. For 1 night it was okay, but I’d hardly choose it for a longer stay.

It has been out favorite hotel on the island. It is still very good. Great location (quiet), sea line with very beautiful area, some shade during the sunny day. Very good breakfast and ability to put additionally beds in the room. However, when we were there 5 years ago last time, the service was better. Just an example: there are pits with water next to each villa to clean the feet from the send. If you are a customer you get used to that pretty quickly because it is great that you don't bring the sand to your room and bed, then you actually need it. 5 years ago every time we woke up the pot already was full with water. This time it could stay out of water for the whole day and the half of the next day. Some people were pouring in drinking water there to make it possible cleaning the sand off. There are few other small things that degraded sadly. However, it is till one of the best on the island.

I had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always going the extra mile to ensure my comfort. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities I could ask for. I especially enjoyed the swimming pool and on-site restaurant, which made my stay even more enjoyable.

We had the most wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, always happy to help with anything we needed. The property itself is fantastic, with excellent facilities that made our stay even more enjoyable. The pool was absolutely lovely – the perfect place to relax and unwind. Our room was clean, tidy, and comfortable, making us feel right at home. Plus, the location is ideal, making it easy to explore the area. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would recommend this hotel to everyone!
