Hotels near Koh Bida Nok in Phi Phi Islands

My partner and myself spent a few nights on the island at one of the small cottages. Perfect for couples and those having a short stay on the island. They are located about a 10 minute walk from the main area of bars and restaurants, however, at night walking back, its always a peaceful, enjoyable trip from the views. The cottages provide the exact facilities required and were sweet and cosy. Central enough to all the action and has the most gorgeous views!

We stayed from 29th January to 2nd February 2023. It's a lovely resort, and our oceanfront room no.102 was superb.The resort is well maintained, and services were very good.The rooms are also very nice with all facilities.Location is excellent with beautiful beach and blue ocean always in front of your eyes.Restaurant is nice and foods were of good variety and tastes.However,the breakfast(included in the tariff) spreads were basic and not very great. Staff were very courteous and helpful. They serve only two bottles of drinking water per day, and it is better to carry the water from the pier while going there.The resort is only accessible by long boat from Pier with a travel time of about 10mins.and each travel one way costs 100 Bath during daytime and 150 in the night.And night boat ride may not be suitable always particularly if the weather is not good. Otherwise, the resort is an excellent place to just relax and enjoy.There is no swimming pool either in this resort.

Hotel is on the beach with beautiful view and amazing sea. Service in the restaurant and food is very good, breakfast is nice. Our room was on the top, so each time need to have long walk up on steep slopes and down which is not so easy and pleasant. Would be nice to have beach towel service near the beach and not to bring it each time with you from the room which is not so close. Can take boat excursion to monkey beach, Maya bay and snorkel.

We booked our trip a while ago and the reviews seemed great. The closer our trip got the reviews seemed to worsen. But we were unable to change/cancel due to the rate we booked. On arrival we were welcomed by staff and given a cold bottle of water and cold flannel and handed a big list of do’s and don’ts whilst at the hotel. Including leaving your hotel key with reception when leaving the hotel meaning your AC didn’t work whilst out and about. Coming back to an extremely hot uncomfortable room. The hotel is right next to the mosque on the island and the tannoy goes of several times a day to announce prayer including around 5:30am. Very loud. But this can’t be helped, we should have thought about this whilst booking the hotel. Walls are paper thin. We were fortunate enough to between two friends so it was only our noise we could hear but I imagine if this was a stranger it would become annoying, to the point we could hear each others conversations through the walls. We paid for the swim up bungalow villas which apparently are the best rooms available at this hotel. They were filthy (see attached photos) and need of a deep clean and some serious TLC! Also whilst showering there is a terrible foist smell from the drains. And the water pressure is low, again could be down to location. The beds were like sleeping the floor they were that hard, but apparently these are how beds are in Thailand. But the beds have been excellent on the mainland at other stays. Unable to sleep. Little interaction with hotel staff other than check in but whilst writing this review a staff member walked past our room, and spat on the ground! The pool also is in need of some TLC and a full regrout. Be careful where you’re walking as some bits are sharp and appears to be full of grit/sand on the floor. The island itself is stunning but the hotel is lacking for the cost. This is a mid-range budget hotel for the island so would expect a much higher standard. Wouldn’t return to this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at this well maintained hotel. The pool was amazing and close to the beach. Staff were very friendly and it had a standard hotel breakfast. Booking of activities were possible form the front desk. The location was great for watching the sunrise. One downside was the day tours that drop hundreds of people right next to this hotel’s beach. We just moved to the amazing infinity pool for peace and quiet. Something to consider if you are looking for a quiet beach all day.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The hotel staff were all amazing and very helpful. They collected us from the pier with our bags and carried them directly to the room, and the same leaving the island. The hotel is all individual tree top cabins. This can be a hike/long walk up a hill to the room depending on which one you stay in. The hotel is located on the beach with a private beach which is lovely. You can walk across the beach for 3 minutes to the main path around Phi Phi. 5 minute walk from the hotel to restaurants/shops. Taking 15 minutes to walk to the pier. Or you can get a tail boat taxi directly from the hotel beach to take you around the island or day trips. The hotel’s breakfast was 5/10. The average buffet style breakfast. The pool bar doesn’t exist when we were there and doesn’t look like it has been open in a long time. The rooms were cleaned everyday. I would not recommend the hotel for young children or people with reduced mobility.

We enjoyed our three-night stay at the hotel due to its commanding view of the area, isolation from the main town and arranging private long-tail boats tours. The hotel itself is located a short complimentary (check-in and checkout only) long-tail boat ride away from Ao Ton Sai Pier, which we had to wait a few minutes for after arriving by ferry. Once at the hotel, the staff greeted us and walked us up the several flights of stairs. Luggage is transported up to the hotel on a rail mounted cart. Our two bungalows (Bungalow West Seaview and Grand Seaview) had nice views of the Andaman Sea with lots of windows. The bungalows themselves were rather basic and would align with mid-range to slightly budget hotels. Our room was comfortable, including the bed, with all the features we needed and we enjoyed the bungalow feel with all its windows. I would have a preferred a nicer bathroom, due to the bungalows having a wet shower. The air conditioning was also a little noisy. Overall, I likely would pick the bungalow over a similarly appointed hotel with full bathroom. During our two full days, we hired a private long tail boat for 1,500-2,600 bhat/day (through the hotel). We enjoyed this option as we got to specify our schedule and got to Maya Bay before the tour groups. We also enjoyed snorkeling during our day tour. After the second day tour, I went snorkeling in front of the hotel by Shark Point. On our last morning, I asked the hotel about hiring a long-tail boat to take us to Shark Point and was quoted a 1,500 bhat, which felt really expensive considering it was a few hundred meters from the dock. I tried swimming out to Shark Point again, but the current/tide was too strong at times without flippers. You also need to be careful to avoid stepping on sea urchins. Overall, we would recommend the tours. The hotel itself is situated a 30 minute or so walk from the town center. However, we always took the long-tail boat, which cost 100 bhat/person before dusk and 150 bhat/person after. The hotel was fairly quick about getting long-tail boats to take us into town. However, hiring the long-tail boat by the pier to take us back to hotel was normally slow, as they seemed to wait for other people before departing. On one trip back (after a long wait) the boat left closer to the end of dusk and we got high-centered for a little while, due to the low tide. Typically, we would go into town in the late afternoon for groceries, arrange ferries, etc. and come back to have dinner at hotel next door. During Omicron, the town center was fairly busy near the water front, but away from main street many businesses were closed. I expect they all are open now. I preferred the quieter area surrounding the hotel and would likely choose to stay away from town center even if it meant dealing with expensive long-tail boat trips to town.

Firstly the location, the hotel is directly on a beautiful ***** of beach with snorkelling opportunities literally metres into the water. The views of the islands etc are stunning and Ton Sai pier is a very short taxi boat (100B per person Vs the hotel 1,200B per trip) and is a vibrant and buzzing little pedestrian town. Unfortunately, the hotel doesn't live up to the environment. It has so much potential but just appears to be run down, neglected and uncared for. Everywhere you look there are endless maintenance jobs that need doing. Worth noting that there is nothing that directly impacts your stay but it just gives the impression of not caring. Broken fences, fascia boards hanging off, every wall or wooden structure needs repainting, what looks like a construction site on one side and a dumping ground on the other. Non-functioning fountains, overgrown gardens, and some villas that look condemned. There seems to be plenty of staff but they just seem to have no one managing them and they were continuously on their phones. I've seen reviews stating the staff were rude and my personal impression is that they are not but they don't speak English very well and this could be misconstrued as rude or not caring. There is a restaurant onsite and even though breakfast is included after day 2 we preferred to pay to eat at one of the neighbouring hotels. Goes without saying that we also ate every other meal at the other hotels. Interestingly even though breakfast is 7am to 10am they have a sign-up inferring that they really want you there between 8 and 9! Would I stay here again? Yes, but not in its current state, the rooms were generous sizes, tidy and everything worked and to its credit, the prices were reflective of the standard of the hotel.

We were greeted warmly at the reception & got a beautiful pool facing Room with the backdrop of the Sea. The pier is barely 5mins walk and the Hotel had sent a cart with the man holding our placard. The Room was spacious for 3 Pax & was totally comfortable. The location of this Hotel is prime and the food joints & market streets are all walking distance. The breakfast spread is good enough to start your day with… Relax in the pool or just across the pier to take a private tour in the Long Tail Boats. This a must do if you are staying in this Island. You will be surprised to watch the fire shows, music & dance at the beach Parties. This Island has some lovely restaurants with delicious local cuisine and a wide spread platter for Sea Food lovers. Chill with the “Chang Beer” and interesting Cocktails. We stayed for 3 nights and had a memorable time….Our room commanded a picturesque view!! We will definitely be back here. Only improvement required to be done by the Hotel Management is to renovate the bathrooms & fittings as these are dated.

Bad hotel. The location seems good as it is very close to the center where the shops and restaurants are, but the truth is it is a terrible location. When passing through a very beautiful and clean reception, they tell you that you must exit and go through an alley to enter the hotel. It is extremely poorly maintained with many flaws in finishing and cleaning. It looks more like a hostel than a hotel. In the bungalow that should be a more reserved accommodation, you hear the noise from all the other bungalows. And everywhere you look there is dust and something broken. There is an air conditioning inside the room, but it's as if it doesn't even have one because it doesn't work. We put it on 16⁰ C and it felt like it was just a fan. We stayed at the hotel for 2 hours and preferred to check out due to all these flaws. At the end, we asked to check out and request a refund for the remaining nights that we did not use. We didn't get a refund, because despite showing how different it was from what was advertised to reality, the receptionist informed us that they don't make any type of refund. This type of hotel is just to deceive tourists who don't know the region and pay a considerable amount for a hotel that isn't worth even 1% of its real value. We feel deceived and robbed.
