Hotel is located close to the walking street and not too far from the beach. Island style vibe with the palm trees and wooden structures outside. The room was ok, very simple. No toiletries in the bathroom and mosquitoes are everywhere. We had 2 small cockroaches in the room, I guess from the heat/humidity. Not ideal :/ There is AC in the room.
Bed wasn't bad, the pillow was uncomfortable- big and puffy. Other than that, I think the highlight here is the MOJO restaurant that is on the premises. The breakfast was great- healthy, western options available that are filling. The banana cake is soft, delicious and homemade - try it! Overall not a bad stay. Thank you!
A Wonderful Getaway at Irene Resort in Koh Lipe
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
I recently had the pleasure of vacationing with my wife at Irene Resort in the breathtaking destination of Koh Lipe, and overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. From the outstanding service to the delectable food, this resort truly exceeded our expectations.
The moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and attentive staff. Their genuine hospitality and willingness to go the extra mile made us feel like VIPs throughout our stay. Every request, big or small, was met with a smile and promptness, adding to the overall exceptional service.
The resort itself is a hidden gem nestled in a serene location, providing the perfect setting for a romantic getaway. The well-maintained grounds, lush greenery, and peaceful ambiance contributed to a sense of tranquility that allowed us to truly unwind and connect with nature.
Speaking of nature, the surrounding beauty of Koh Lipe is simply breathtaking. Pristine white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant marine life make this island paradise a true haven for nature enthusiasts. Snorkeling and diving in the nearby coral reefs were unforgettable experiences, offering us a glimpse into a vibrant underwater world.
Now, let's talk about the food! The culinary delights at Irene Resort were nothing short of exceptional. The diverse menu offered a wide range of delectable dishes that catered to every palate. Each meal was meticulously prepared with fresh ingredients and presented beautifully. We savored every bite and were left impressed by the skilled chefs who clearly took pride in their craft.
Although our vacation was filled with joy and memorable moments, I must mention the only downside we encountered. The lack of sufficient lighting outside at night posed a safety hazard, as my wife unfortunately tripped and hurt her ankle. However, it is worth noting that the resort staff responded swiftly and provided immediate assistance, ensuring she received the necessary care. While this incident was unfortunate, it did not overshadow the overall fantastic experience we had at Irene Resort.
In conclusion, our vacation at Irene Resort in Koh Lipe was an extraordinary experience. The impeccable service, delectable cuisine, and the island's natural beauty left us with lasting memories. We highly recommend this resort to anyone seeking a romantic and rejuvenating getaway. With its warm hospitality and stunning surroundings, Irene Resort truly stands out as a haven of tranquility and indulgence.
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.

A quiet pleasant place, no music, the sound of the sea, birds, wonderful. Time of visit - the end of November, a very strong east wind, the sea was rough, a lot of fish, interesting snorkeling, helpful staff, there is a transfer to Walking Street, you can also walk. In the evening there was a tide, you can no longer walk along the shore.
The breakfast is very poor, the furniture is old, the bed linen was good, clean. Peace and quiet are the main plus of this place.
Breakfast choice is still more, the hotel is located in sunrise, we live in the breeze room in the middle of the second row has a small slit to see the beach, probably the breeze is the meaning, the hotel walks to the pedestrian street will pass the locals' accommodation area, garbage disposal is not Too bad in time. The room is a separate one, the privacy is OK, the bathroom is too big, the water is too small, and the bath needs to be washed for a long time. In general, it is still possible.
Location is ok, a short distance from the sea, very close to 711 and pedestrian street, room facilities are also available, that is, no electric mosquito coils, cheap family travel, fixed double rooms, other hotels have no room, only this hotel has Overall, it ’s ok, I ’ve done Raiders before going to the island and the environment on the other side is not very good, so I ’m prepared
Located at the end of Pattaya Beach, beautiful scenic view of Koh Lipe. The room is superb, clean and spacious with the most comfortable bed and big soft pillows. Balcony has a great view of the sea, with a hammock to relax. Food service is excellent, lots of choice in their breakfast menu plus its a halal and muslim owned hotel. Excellent and very friendly staffs, everyone is so warm and welcoming. Will definitely return here again on our next visit to Koh Lipe!
It's an absolutely fantastic hotel. The boss is very understanding of human nature and is able to approach the hotel service from the customer's perspective, handling every detail meticulously. For instance, offering complimentary refillable bottled water not only addresses the inconvenience of purchasing water due to the hotel's remote location but also solves the issue of operational costs. Beach towels are changed daily. The reception speaks three languages: Chinese, English, and Thai, enabling them to understand the hotel staying habits and lifestyle characteristics of different ethnicities, taking into account their needs in detail. The isolation of the rooms is also excellent; initially, it was assumed that wooden houses would have ants and various insects, but the sealing turned out to be better than expected. Additionally, after check-out, the staff takes the responsibility of transporting guests to their next hotel, not just dropping them at the entrance but also assisting with luggage to the reception of the next hotel.
Excellent hotel with excellent service. We were met on the beach upon arrival, although we did not ask for it. The staff is smiling and friendly. I definitely recommend the hotel to families with children.
Location: 5+ the hotel is located right next to the beach, 20 meters, the place is very quiet, 5 minutes to Walking Street along the beach, 20 minutes to Sunrise Beach.
Food: 5 everything is very tasty, nothing extra, but everything you need is there.
Rooms: 5.
WiFi: 5.
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.
Very Good

Outstanding
AAlessiofromspbU know it’s My first time in Asia))) this place one of diamonds) thanx a lot to all 10 Moons crew. Starting from great man Den which pick us up from customs and bring us to hugs of Wonderful Pen and Nui😘. Great job Ladies!Good place, best memories, true opened hearts, best view in the Koh Lipe island! This place will be in my heart!
GGuest UserLooks 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.
PPC Chin117We 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.
GGuest UserThe highlight of our stay at this hotel was undoubtedly its unbeatable beachfront location—just a few steps from the gorgeous beach! The staff were absolutely amazing, always going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. We especially appreciated how quickly they resolved an issue with the shower’s water pressure—top-notch service!
The rooms had a rustic charm, and while not luxurious, they were comfortable and perfectly fine for the price. Given that most of our time was spent enjoying the stunning beach, the room provided exactly what we needed for a good night’s rest.
If you’re looking for a relaxing beach getaway with exceptional service, this is a fantastic choice!
GGuest UserIt 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.
SSam_HoustonEvery once and a while you enter a property that transports you to another plane—certainly physically, more than likely emotionally, and possibly even spiritually.
Serendipity delivers on all fronts. The ocean-view villa made me pine for loved ones, as I initially felt guilty for experiencing such a property by myself. I imagined my folks opening the shuttered windows and gazing out at the sunrise each morning. I wished my niece and nephew were sitting on the villa-wide balcony, keeping me company. Yet as the days passed, I fell comfortably in love with being alone in such a magnetic space.
Steps from the most intimate, private stretch of Sunrise Beach, Serendipity balances up-scale bohemia with laid-back sophistication.
The owner, fortunately, is also a chef—noted in each dish served. Welcoming and gregarious, he was approachable without being overbearing.
Honeymoon—yes. Intimate anniversary—absolutely. Elderly parents—possibly a challenge due to the inclined stairways. However, anyone healthy should be able to navigate the surroundings easily.
Low season was a dream…
Thank you, Serendipity.
X,
Sam
GGuest UserThe 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.
TthejojazzA perfect place to stay. 2 minutes walk to the beach and the island's main pier. A nice hideaway in the garden. Quite from the busy walking street which is 5 minutes walk from the hotel via beach.
BBertieMinPositives:
The hotel is well located close to the beach.
The swimming pool is clean and has nice amenities for children such as slides.
It is next door to ”walking street”
The air-conditioning works well and there is a place to dry clothes after swimming on a hidden balcony.
Great water pressure in the shower.
Negatives:
The check-in and checkout process was dreary with it taking well over 1 hour to check in. There's also a 10 minute waiting time on checkout to get your deposit back. So it's best to checkout and go have a coffee and come back for thr money later.
You cannot check-in before 13:00, but you have to checkout before 10:00, well earlier than many other resorts on the island.
The breakfast was not worth it with little variety and long cues form for a single small coffee machine. It's better to just go to the coffeeshop next door.
The beds are harder than most people would enjoy.
The island is beautiful and I spent 2 nights in this hotel, it was worth the money and you can work around most of the negatives easily
GGuest UserThe position of the bungalows are right on sunrise Beach. We had bungalow number three which is on the beach from and perfect every morning. I don’t think I would want to stay in any other bungalows past the first two rows they’re basic but sufficient and we had a great stay here. There are lots of boats, but it really isn’t a problem. Easy to walk to walk straight probably 10 to 15 minutes. The breakfast was basic but sufficient I would stay here again.
