"This hotel has a great location, especially for those wanting to dive near Koh Phi Phi. There are approximately six dive shops within a three-minute walk from the lobby. We also found our garden wing room - one of the newer rooms in the back of the resort - to be very quiet and cool throughout the day. The linens were especially clean, the shower was hot, and had plenty of pressure. The staff was very accommodating, including the bellman who brought our bags both to and from the pier. This is especially convenient since there are no motorized vehicles in the middle of Koh Phi Phi. There are plenty of good restaurants all around the hotel, but we also found the hotel restaurant to be a good option, although a bit disorganized when things got busy. The hotel has a small clean pool, but not a lot of sun chairs. The beach is great for looking out at the bay, but is not a swimming or sunning beach. Long tail boats to Maya Bay for swimming and snorkeling can be arranged for approximately 1500 THB per boat. The strength of this hotel is its clean, quiet location close to all of Phi Phi's transportation options. "

"We stayed here with another couple, unfortunately for only two nights. We would've stayed longer if we could and we couldn't recommend this place more! It's a very serene place with towering cliffs to one side, a nice beach to another. It's close enough to walk to the small town but far enough for the party music to not ruin your sleep at night. The bungalows are beautiful, have really comfortable beds and there's good air conditioning. One of the staff waited by the docks for us to arrive to the island and loaded our luggage on a wagon. This is the place to stay on Phi Phi!"

"My boyfriend and I went to Koh Phi Phi from Bangkok with no hotel arranged. Upon a recommendation from someone we met on the Ferry we booked the Princess for 3 nights. The rooms were very big and clean and the infinity pool is spectacular with a great view and very close to the beach. It is a mix of couples, families and solo travellers. It is close to the bars and night parties on the beach, but far enough away that you don't feel overwhelmed by the noise or busy part of the main strip. We ended up booking 2 extra nights at the Princess before heading to Chiang Mai. I would highly recommend the Princess. While you can get cheaper accommodations on the island, if you are looking for a beautiful hotel for a relaxing experience that is close to everything the Princess is the best hotel you can stay at! Totally worth the money. We will definitely come back!"

"We LOVED everything about this place. The staff was extremely friendly, kind, and helpful. They spoke excellent English. They were warm and welcoming at check in and every time we walked past. There is an elevator also if needed which after all the hiking and adventures we went on, we were grateful for. The room had the best ac on the whole island and it blew out evenly in the room. We stayed in room 3004, it walked out directly to the pool with a comfy lounge chair and deck. The pool was beautiful! Exactly as pictured, and clean. The whole resort was really clean! The bathroom had no smell and the shower actually got hot. The bed was comfy and the bedding was clean. The breakfast was different every morning and was fantastic. They had a lot of variety with food and beverages. They also have a lunch buffet daily that seemed great for families. But we never tried it. Next door there is Mama Beach Restaurant that had excellent food! French, Thai, Italian, and American food. They also have a bar on the beach that makes some of the best, fresh cocktails I have ever had. I also feel like the maps are deceptive. These properties are so close we thought the beach bar was part of Cliff Beach. We had no problem with the resort not having its own bar since 20 feet from the entrance there was beach bar. The beach was great for swimming. There are several bars, restaurants, shops, and massages within a one minute walk. The pp nice beach massage was our favorite! What's better than a massage on the beach? In my opinion it was more than worth it to get the pool room. We spent our mornings lounging between the pool and the room. We left Koh Phi Phi for Ao Nang and the staff made it so easy. We bought our ferry ticket from the front desk. They had a speed boat pick us up on the beach and taxi us over to the pier. I cannot rave about this hotel enough. We stayed else where prior two other nights in a room similar in price. The two didn't even come close in comparison. This will"

"This place exceeded expectations 100 fold. The room we were given was huge, at least 600 square feet complete with a small patio and glass encased standing shower. Bath robes were provided and the in room refrigerator mini bar had Chang stocked for just slightly above mainland prices. Wi-fi was fast and reliable, A/C unit worked to perfection and the shower delivered good pressure and mostly constant temperatures. The whole place is designed with purpose! Clean and organized which made me feel at home and instantly relaxed for a night on a Thai island. Originally when I booked a hotel in Koh Phi Phi I saw many hotels with very cheap prices. However after looking more closely at reviews it appeared that I made a critical error in selection. Luckily I was able to cancel the reservation on booking.com via Southwest.com Hotels/Rapid Rewards site. Then found Chao Kho Phi Phi Hotel and knew that was the best option and booked it instantly. "

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort (formerly Outrigger Phi Phi) - the rooms were beautiful and clean, the bathroom/shower were fantastic, the staff extremely friendly, and the resort truly beautiful right along the beach. This place truly is a resort and if you stay you could spend your entire trip there if you preferred. The food is very good for being an island off of the coast of Thailand (not a typical cuisine-directed destination) with a surprising amount of variety between the locations. The biggest frustration for us during our travel was the difficulty in accessing the main town area (Tonsai / Loh Dalum Bays) from the hotel. It takes about ~30-40 minutes by long-tail or 20-25 minutes by speedboat to transfer between the two. The hotel does run one shuttle in the morning ~10am (if I remember correctly), that returns ~3pm; however, the rest of the access is on your own. While this is a benefit because the resort is far removed from the crazy/party/noise associated with the rowdy backpacker festivities on the main beaches, there is a negative in the inability to access that scene if so desired. The true way to describe this place is "secluded" - so make sure that's what you want before you book! Either way the resort will blow you away, but location is definitely an important factor when selecting a place to stay while on Koh Phi Phi - Stayed July 2015"

"After reading previous reviews. The Holiday Inn was everything I expected. Although, it is a bit expensive, it was definitely worth it. The beaches, water, and sunsets from that part of Koh Phi Phi are breathtaking. The restaurant was very good and the breakfast that was included in the room price was first rate. The Holiday Inn also had a happy hour every day where most drinks were BHT 100 ($3.00). The bungalow where we stayed was a seaview and was great for the price. If it is in your price range I would recommend staying in the seaview or beach bungalows. The gardens are up on the hill and away from the beach. In addition, there is a great place to watch the sunset from a bar on a hilltop that overlooks the ocean. After checking out the other accommodations on that part of Koh Phi Phi Island, I think the Holiday Inn is your best bet. The Zaeveola is just as good if not better, but much more expensive. For those who are on a budget, there is area right next to the Holiday Inn called Gypsie Sea Village. Here you can eat, and buy groceries for much cheaper than the Holiday Inn or any of the other hotels. The rooms were a bit dated, but clean and comfortable. There are no t.v.'s in the room and the hotel has 2 computers for internet in the lobby. The rate they charge is $7.00/hour. Finally, there is no nightlife here, but if you are considering this part of the Island, you are not interested in that anyway."

"The path to the hotel was being renovated and there seems to be a new hotel being built next to it so I was a little anxious walking up to it from the pier, however I was overall impressed by the hotel. Lobby area is nice and we were greeted with a drink and shown to our rooms promptly. Rooms were a little dated but nice for what we booked (£28 pp pn) and far nicer than most other places on the island. The best thing about the hotel is definitely the pool/view/location. Right on the beach, the pool overlooks the amazing views of Koh Phi Phi and on a nice day you can spend many an hour laying on the plentiful sun loungers. At night if you want to sample the Phi Phi party life on the beach, it's close enough to walk to easily and just far enough away to drown out the music until the early hours. Staff were good as well, the guy by the pool seemed to do food, drinks, laundry and booked a half day snorkelling for us. Good hotel but made better by Phi Phi itself."

"Initially I booked my stay just for 1 night but I ended up staying 4. The quality is really high, seems it's been just opened for the guests. I loved the bed mattress and extra soft bed linen. The wooden elements and vintage light bulbs made the ambience relaxing and cosy. The staff was helpful. I asked for an additional fan as I don't enjoy using AC too much. The room is equipped with all necessary amenities including hair dryer, kettle and beach towels. I also enjoyed hammocks in the morning. The location is excellent as it is close to several restaurants, which are still open after the covid lockdown. 5 minutes walk to the pier. I had a great stay there! Hope to come back to Phi Phi paradise some time again."
