Lipe Beach Resort

The air conditioning struggles due to minimal structural insulation. Bar appeared to close early

All good with the resort, location and cleanliness. We found some cockroaches and spiders regularly as the bathroom is somewhat open to the exterior. Reception and massages staff were great, but unfortunately we cannot say the same from staff working in the restaurant. Basic service, not very keen to offer an excellent one. Room was ok, comfortable, well located, but didn’t feel very safe as the door lock was broken. On the other hand, the island is amazing and the resort offers good value, so we cannot complain too much. Overall we had a good stay.

Perfect in every way

We rented one of the two larger cottages directly on the beach and it was really quite wonderful. It provided a nice level of privacy and the view at night in particular, was really a joy. Bed was very comfortable and although the bathroom was far from luxurious, was large and perfectly suited for a beach cottage. Air conditioner worked fine. Breakfast food is limited-pretty much the same choices every day, but it was filling and satisfying. The people at the front desk were patient and accommodating. During our stay we walked to several other beach areas on the island and decided that Lipe Beach Resort had one of the best locations in that there was almost always a nice breeze, which moderated the heat. We would definitely stay here again if we visit Lipe and if it is available (hint, the beach-front cottages seem to rent quickly so it makes sense to plan quite a bit early if you want one of these prime locations).

Lovely little hotel right on Sunrise beach, which in my opinion is the best beach on the island. Had an excellent choice for breakfast & all the food we had was fantastic. A bonus for us was the Bali beds & sunbeds, although they are not fully out in the sun. This was perfect for us. Our room was basic but it did the job. Would have been nice for a bit more space. We were in the deluxe room 2nd row back from the beach, with a fan. Which was actually great & kept us cool. If we were to come back, I'd upgrade to the rooms at the very front. The staff were very nice & work very hard & long hours. Overall we had a great stay & would come back. Koh Lipe is a fantastic island with not much to do apart from chill, swim & snorkel. Just what we needed! & sunbeds.

Great location at Sunrise beach

Initially, I made the error of booking a room without A/C. I thought I would be okay with the fan and open windows, since the temperatures at night on the beach is usually in 70s. I've slept comfortably at other beach bungalows that were much less expensive with no issues. However, the windows in the room here DO NOT have screens, and there is a sign that says to keep the windows locked at all times, even while in the room, because of theft. This creates a terrible sleep environment. It was too hot, stuffy, and too many mosquitos. I was able to upgrade to a room with window locks and AC, but I had to pay a rather high upcharge. While this made the stay much more comfortable, overall I'd pass on this resort next time I am in Loh Lipe. I'd opt to just pay slightly more for a true luxury experience. Breakfast was excellent, the beach and location is unreal and the staff are very nice. The only issue is the theft, lack of screens and issues with the windows. If that somehow got fixed this place would still be overpriced but better. 5/10.

Amazing hotel. Amazing staff. Amazing location - best beach on the island. Extending our stay here by a week.

Great part of the beach, 200mm to zodiac and then north point. Def recommend staying on sunrise. Beachfront bungalow was great comfortable bed and nice amenities. Staff super friendly and the beach massage staff are excellent

Quiet location

Amazing place to stay - great location, great team, great space!!

Loved the beach …beautiful setting. Good massage and staff friendly and helpful.

Such an amazing place, cabins were amazing, staff was amazing. I have nothing but great things about this place. Breakfast was great, drinks and food at the elephant restaurant was amazing as well. Definitely book here, you won't regret it. If you want to be by the walking street, its not for you. You have to walk the beach down for about 5 min then cross the resort down an ally to the strip. It was perfect for me, but took a second to find the way.

Lipe Beach resort was away from the crowds. We enjoyed our day’s snorkeling at the beach and relaxing.

Beautiful beach but quite close to the boat taxis. Breakfast a bit limited. Not enough sunbeds for the number of rooms (6 or so). AC worked well.

good breakfast, friendly staff. photos don't accurately portray place. Shown are only the lux units on the beach, 30 other units sit crowded behind these. they should show this in photos, I think

Booked a room with air con (according to Hotels.com website, given a room with a fan which resulted in a sleepless night. Messaged Hotels.com the next day which was frustrating due to broken signals, but they refunded me immediately. Paid £40 to upgrade into a fantastic room. Checked out 4 days early.

Great location stunning views. Staff were lovely. If only I could have got an aircon room I would have been in heaven won’t leave it too late next time

No pick up from the port available which is fine as there’s taxis there but this wasn’t communicated and we were the only ones with no hotel pick up waiting. The rooms are basic but clean, the view is incredible and the beach is perfect!! The breakfast was good, you can select off of a menu rather than the typical buffet which made a nice change

Overall great experience. Don’t do the massages there. Food is not great but the beach set up Is awesome. The kitchen staff could be a lot more concerned about hygiene.
