Centara Villas Phi Phi Island

When I booked, I was a little worried because there were no reviews. Fortunately, I have stayed in a hotel of the same brand before. I hope my review can help you. First of all, to get to the hotel, you need to arrive at Tonsai Pier and take a long-tail boat for about 20 minutes. You can write an email to the hotel in advance and they will pick you up, but this also needs to be charged, about 500 baht per person, and the time is fixed. It is better to charter a boat if there are many people. There were 8 of us and it cost 1,800 baht. The boatman we met on the return trip was very good and only cost 1,400 baht. The location of this hotel has a problem of high tide and low tide. When the tide is low, there is no water next to the hotel, and you have to carry your luggage up by yourself. When the tide is high, the long-tail boat will directly approach the shore. To enter and exit Tonsai Pier, you can only take a boat, and the hotel restaurant is more expensive, a hamburger is about 100 yuan. For meals, I recommend everyone to go to the small village behind the Sai Hotel next to it. You also need to wade through the water when the tide is high, and you can walk through the mud when the tide is low, as shown in the picture. The first restaurant on the right at the first intersection in the village has several female chefs. I think it is delicious and I ate there twice. I don’t know the name very well. It’s a long way, but when you reach the lobby, it’s worth it.

We came here for a family trip with children! I only recommend this hotel to those who want to relax and enjoy themselves. First of all, the hotel is a bit far from the port, so you have to take a water taxi for 20 minutes and 1,200 baht. To get to downtown, there's no road, so you have to take a long detour to the beach next door (a 20-minute walk). However, the nearby restaurants were all delicious, and there were small shops and cafes, so we had a great time! The staff were all friendly, and the breakfast, while limited in variety, was delicious. The view from the room was as good as anywhere else. 🙊 Only a downside: on the second day of our two-night stay, the key card didn't work, so we had to go to the lobby to re-register. Once during the day, while I was sleeping, the staff unlocked the key card and let me in without a note. I don't know why, but I left quickly, so I didn't have time to ask. 😡

The environment and scenery are really great. The room decoration is relatively new on Phi Phi Island. However, there was a power failure or power maintenance when we checked in. After checking in at 3 o'clock, the air conditioner in the room could not be turned on until after 4 o'clock. I stayed in the room for more than an hour and it was like a steamer. The hotel did not take any measures or compensation for this.

The view is unbelievable, the location is beautiful. The breakfast is excellent. The service and friendliness is top.
