HIP Seaview Resort @ Phi Phi

Calm place, a bit far from city center but the beach is worth it. Some dining options less than 5mn away on the beach. Great staff. Breakfast was OK

Great location but many steps from beach. No pool which is generally in ko phi phi ok, but since getting to beach is not easy, a pool would be great.

Lovely hotel. Lots of stairs to get there so beware, but I personally didn’t mind the extra exercise. Our treehouse was very wonderful and the staff were kind and helpful. Beautiful setting in Phi Phi island

My husband and I had a great stay at this Resort. The staff was kind and very attentive. I would highly recommend this place. The view from our room was 😍 Place was quiet and peaceful, food was great!

Beautiful views, great staff, very comfortable room, and away from the busy main island. Plenty of stairs to climb up so need a fairly good level of fitness. Nice beach with beautiful water and sunbeds too!

The view was espectacular. The orange juice amazing. The only thing that I didn’t like was the more than 100 steps to go up to the hotel.

Was a beautiful property for a reasonable rate and amazing view

Beware of a long metal stair going from the beach to the establishment :-)

Big gap door, broken water heater, no signal TV, poor condition room, poor service

Property has no transportation to cottages. Not recommended for visitors with mobility issues. 160 Steps to cottages. Otherwise, clean and beautiful views.

Cleaning done to the best . As resort not new don’t expect perfect . Beautiful view from restaurant

Really nice place, awesome view. Really peaceful.

This place was clean, the view was nice, and the staff were friendly and helpful but it can't be overstated how massively inconvenient it was to stay here. There are exactly two choices for getting between the hotel and Tonsai, where all of the food worth eating is: longtail boat taxi (the hotel at least provides one free of charge for checking in and out but in between you're on your own), which takes ~10min, costs 100-150THB/person, may or may not leave Tonsai without making you wait for more people, and requires one to jump into the water to disembark if you aren't traveling during high tide, or a 45min trek across the beach, up a muddy cliff that requires one to pull oneself up using the provided rope and over a half-improved trail through the bat- and mosquito-infested woods. Oh, and once you arrive at the end of Long Beach, you'll be greeted by no fewer than 155 stairs to climb, which are the only way in and out of the hotel. These things probably aren't a deal breaker for the right people, but it's imperative that you understand the experience you're signing up for - I booked at the last minute and therefore didn't, and that's my own fault. If you are OK with feeling isolated and trapped behind all the various barriers to freedom or eating the hotel's mediocre food (no room service btw) and you are in good physical shape, then maybe you'll enjoy yourself here. Our room's floor was also sloped because of the hill - didn't feel unsafe, but wasn't comfortable either.

Beautiful location with spectacular views, & lovely staff. Very clean rooms, with good aircon, comfortable bed, nice balcony space, & nice, large bathroom with good shower (especially when compared to other tropical island experiences.) Nice daily continental breakfast offering. A couple of cons: no communication re: the arrival process gave a bad first impression (when arriving at Koh Phi Phi, look for staff in bright pink, as a taxi-boat transfer from the main pier to the resort is required.) Also, in general the taxi-boat captains don’t seem keen to return passengers to HIP Seaview, & made us wait for more passengers, & then dropped us well down the beach. It should be made clearer at booking that the (unavoidable) stairs up to the resort might not be suitable for the elderly or unfit - I’m neither of these but didn’t enjoy this after a big dinner & drinks at the local restaurants.

Nice location, this part of the island is the best option. Closer to the pier it get pretty bad. To get to the hotel get ready for a small climb, but after all... No pain no game.

We had an amazing time. Great view, nice staff, amazing cocktails at resort bar and we had a family of monkeys visiting for every breakfast

This was a beautiful place to stay with very helpful and friendly staff. There are lots of stairs to climb once you arrive so fitness level is a concern for some folks. The staff had cool washcloths and a fruit drink waiting upon arrival. The restaurant and bar were awesome with very good food. We had 2 bungalows. One was newer and more modern than the other. It was super nice. The older bungalow had a TV which wasn’t working. We loved that the property was so peaceful and scenic. The beach is very busy and it was nice to retire to such a great place in the evenings. Would highly recommend.

Amazing stay @ hip sea view! We spent 3 days on the island, the hip had the most amazing views, and friendly staff. New even helped with travel advice for Myanmar (and makes a great drink) We had lost part of our camera lens and Pla went above and beyond to find it for us. We did a few tours through the hip; the 3 snorkel, sunset, and plankton. One the best places we have been, you will be so happy with your stay.

Very poor value for money. The breakfast was extremely disappointing, only an option for either scrambled egg, fried egg or omelette with either bacon or ham and then fruit, muesli and yogurt. The other hotels we stayed in on other islands (at a cheaper rate!) included a breakfast buffet with plenty of options. Also, the resort is located at the opposite end of the island from the main shops/restaurant areas and there are little restaurant options nearby (all being overpriced) and you need to pay for a boat to the main area with much better restaurants and bars. There is also no pool at the resort. The views from the huts are beautiful, however given the cost per night I would not recommend this resort. Much better options on the island.

Nice view from the hotel, which is located very close to Long Beach. The hotel has no beach, so it is necessary to walk 5 mins to get to it. As already said be careful if you are not willing to take many steps to go to the hotel. It is definitely not recommended for the elderly. Rooms are tidy and cleanliness was ok. Breakfast is good, many options available.
