Mountain Resort Koh Lipe

We only stayed here a couple of days as we were a bit dubious of the hotel. I have to say that we wish we had stayed much longer. This hotel is fabulous. From the rooms to the views to breakfast and the amazing staff. We are even considering going back these again in the near future

Nice bedroom with lots of space. Free toiletries, bottle of water, robe, umbrella, beach towels and slippers. The free shuttle to walking Street works well. Enormous breakfast with plenty of choice. The only thing less good is the staircase to the beach (I think it's well over 70 steps). However in terms of the beach quality is located on the best spot of the island.

Awful 2-night stay and we were counting down the hours to departure (also considered changing hotels although stayed due to no refund on offer from this hotel for pre-booked accommodation). Below are the positives (we found a few) and negatives of this stay. Positives: Nice landscape on a hill with some views of the sea and the opposite island. Comfortable bed and clean sheets and towels. Short walk to the beach below the hotel and the beach on the opposite side of the mountain. Pool is big and clean although no cover from the summer sun. The family bungalow rooms are big. Free transport to walking street between 6pm – 10pm (other times paid at THB50 per person). Negatives: We booked a family Bungalow for 4 and had no option but to book 2 rooms due to a family of 4. The two rooms were separated by outside stairs. This doesn’t work for us given we have young children therefore we ended up using only 1 room which was ample for a family of 4 given the rooms are big. The cost of this stay (for 2 rooms) was very expensive in comparison to other accommodation throughout our 8-night say in Koh Lipe. Noting that other accommodation had much higher ratings, modern, exceptionally clean, better facilities and allowed us to book 1 room for a family of 4 with an extra charge for the extra bed. The family bungalow room style is very 80’s style and hasn’t been upgraded. The room was not clean. There was cockroach poo and dust everywhere. Walls and curtains full of stains and marks. We killed no less than 8 cockroaches; there was clearly an infestation in the room. The toilet does not have a sink to clean hands. The layout of the toilet and shower very much needs upgrading. It doesn’t work. The TV had 1 Thai channel and 1 English Speaking BBC news channel. Only half the screen of the TV worked. The air conditioning worked however only pointed one way. Breakfast included a cooked and non-cooked breakfast. It was ok however quality lacking. Outside light not working. Umbrella broken.

They do care about visitors: 1. Very strong pressure of water 2. Drying rack for your cloths 3. Cold room when you enter it. AC works even when you are out. Each time you return to room it's in optimal temperature. 4. Breakfast with really wide range of options. 5. Many towels 6. Beach bag 7. Very good lighting system 8. Upgraded room for free and even didn't told me about that. 9. Free delivery to/from walking street/jetty. Some drawbacks can be found, but they are minor.

The room facilities is kinda old, and the location is on top of the hill. Therefore, in and out need to rely on the van. Before I booked I do read a lot reviews about this hotel, and I do have preparation of the room condition. Other than the old facilities and the old school hair dryer I don’t have much complaint. As this is all well compensate with the splendid sea view from the breakfast spot, the full view from the mountain top really amazed me. Also, the private beach is beautiful and calm. I enjoyed the sea breeze at night by the beach side. I will certainly come back to have a stay here by any chance.

Nestled amidst lush, jungle-like foliage, the hotel grounds are an oasis of tranquility, offering a sense of seclusion and serenity. The meticulously maintained landscaping adds to the allure, creating a picturesque retreat. Throughout my stay, the staff went above and beyond, exuding warmth and genuine hospitality with their ever-present smiles. Their eagerness to assist enhanced the overall experience, making every interaction a delight. Opting for a garden villa, I found myself treated to a spectacular vista from the balcony, perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the private beach. While the room's decor may have retained a touch of nostalgia from the 90s, the breathtaking view more than compensated for any lack of modernity. One unique aspect of the accommodation was the outdoor bathroom, which, although unconventional, added to the rustic charm of the villa. However, it's worth noting that the tropical climate might not suit everyone, particularly those wary of encountering local critters. Regrettably, the beds proved to be a minor discomfort, reminiscent of traditional Asian sleeping arrangements with their firm wooden plank mattress and concrete-like pillows. For some, this may pose a challenge to achieving a restful night's sleep. Furthermore, unfortunately nobody cleaned the room adequately, which was either laziness or lack of staff. Yet, the hotel's pièce de résistance undoubtedly lies in its pristine beachfront. With inviting lounges and well-maintained beach chairs, it offers the perfect spot to bask in the sun or explore the crystal-clear waters through snorkeling adventures. The breakfast buffet served each morning exceeded expectations, boasting an extensive array of delectable dishes spanning Thai, Chinese, and Western cuisines. The abundance of fresh fruits added a refreshing touch, ensuring a delightful start to each day. In conclusion, while the allure of the hotel's grounds, exceptional service, and picturesque beachfront are undeniable, the comfort of the beds leaves something to be desired. For those prioritizing a good night's sleep, it may be a deciding factor in their choice of accommodation.
