This small resort is new on the island that not many people know where it is. It's nested on the peaceful corner of Sunset beach with only a handful of rooms so it's quite a private and quiet lovely place. The room was spacious and clean. The obvious highlight was that magnificent sunset view looking over the Jabang channel and all other national park islands. Their se...

Me and my bf we were just overly satisfied about everything the resort staff have ever done for us. The service is undoubtedly the best thing we have to mention. We had troubles to buy tickets from Lipe to Krabi due to a off-season situation but soon we found problems solved by thoughtful staff and the lovely girl from the reception. Everything was perfectly settled. B...

Room was very clean and cozy! Staff was great: so welcome and helpful. As for me, location is excellent: 2 minutes walk to sunset beach, and remote from walking street therefore very quiet and peaceful. Hotel provides a free pick up service to walking street.

An excellent place to stay, with the warmest hospitality I have experienced in Thailand during 8 years of visiting. Lovely family resort with great food (massaman made by mother) and excellent service. Very nice was the free transport service to walking street. Nice room for the price compared to other places on Koh Lipe. Also nice is the walking distance to Sun...

Long Bay is a beautiful small resort with its own little beach where you can snorkel from and lounge by the nearby beach bar and restaurant. They are building their own restaurant at the moment. The main beaches of sunset beach ( less busy ) and Pattaya ( more touristy and busy ) are easily walked to and there are tonnes of taxis about anyway. Highly recommend this p...

Ok this is cheap and well situated. However I arrive at 5pm (reception normally open from 10am to 6pm), I waited for 1hour because no one was there, I sent several messages, I get an answer only one day later. Hopefully another traveler helped me to find someone in the island to do the check in with me but without this guy, I had no where to go.. Moreover, lots of inse...

Lovely little bamboo hut resort! Only 1 min walk from the beach, they give you reusable water bottles so you never have to buy plastic ones and your key is attached to a fold out reusable bin bag so you can help clean up the island at any chance you get. Bed was really comfy with good mosquito net and good bathroom for a bamboo hut.

The Hotel is located in the middle of Sunset Beach (walking around 10min) and Walking Street (walking around 5min), it is good for those who would like to stay near sunset beach and spent less for accomodation. The owner was very kind and friendly, during our stay he provide a transport to send us to Sunset Beach & Immigration Passport Check Point at Pattaya Beach with...

The best possible location on Koh Lipe if you want to see real in a way of relax, nature and hospitality. All in all, if i bool another hotel, Koh Lipe could be a huge disappointment for me. How could any one stay on Pattaya beach between dozens of boats. I don't know. I think – sunset beach is the only real opportunity to choose from on Koh Lipe, and Pitiusas is a bes...

We enjoyed our stay so much we added onto our plans and booked 7 nights in all!

We loved Lipe sunset beach resort. It's a little bit away from town as well as all the party people. If you want quiet this is the place. The best beach on the island can be reached in 5 minutes at low tide. You can get a 3 minute ride into town from Ton for free or you can tip him if you use his service a lot. The room we had was awesome. A small one room bungelow wit...

Paradise on earth. We booked the fan bungalow, and it was the best choice for what we were looking for: cheap and charming! The bungalow had an amazing view of the beach and it offered everything you need. Super comfy bed. Authentic atmosphere with all the wood walls and exotic vibe...Even if the island is naturally full of mosquitoes, we had no problem at all in the b...

we had a great stay at cosy cove, the owner and his wife are very nice and willing to help in anyway they can, the location is perfect a small cove right between sunset beach and sunrise beach which are both accessible via the beach if your happy to get your feet wet, and a short walk into the main food busy street, we have young children and they had no problem with t...

The hotel outlook might not be the very attractive, but it does give us best value. We booked the family room with 2 big bed. The room is huge and can fit more than 6 people easily. The staff there might not be good in english but they are extremely helpful and did provide taxi service to beaches and walking street. Highly recommanded for family.

I would give Phuritra Sabai 3 stars of 5 1. star: The stuff is great. They are all very kind and open minded. It's a very familial atmosphere to feel comfortable. 2.star: Although the Bungslows are elementary, they are clean. Houskeeping is every day, the pillows, linens and towels are hygenic. 3. star: the location is wonderfull, the sunset beach, where you can find c...

The hotel is located in sunset beach. We upgraded the room without hesitation when we saw the view from the resort. The beach is just under the resort, you can also have a nice meal in the restaurant in the beach. Kayak is available for rent and also a massage shop next to the resturant. Very quite beach, staffs are friendly and helpful. A little bit far from the walki...

Smile Sunset Resort is centrally located about 7 minutes from Sunset Beach and about 10 minutes from Walking Street. The bungalow was spacious and the AC worked perfectly. Unfortunately WiFi is only available by the check in counter. I would definitely stay here again!

Peak tourist season typically occurs between December and February, coinciding with the holiday season.

Being aware of local customs can also enhance your experience. Thai culture places a strong emphasis on respect and politeness, so greetings with a gentle smile and a slight bow are appreciated. When dining at local restaurants, it’s customary to remove your shoes before entering, so be prepared for that. Additionally, learning a few basic Thai phrases can go a long way in connecting with the friendly locals.
For a comfortable stay, consider bringing along a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, and a waterproof bag for your electronics while at the beach.
