Romantic Hotels in Phi Phi Islands

I booked a sea-view room, and the view was pretty good. It's also very close to the pier, about 100 meters away, with restaurants and a 7-Eleven nearby, so the location is excellent. The room was clean and had a fridge. No issues with insects or anything, just a bit humid, which is expected by the sea. There seemed to be staff on duty 24/7, and the front desk English was good. Breakfast was also quite tasty. The only downsides were that I was given a room at the very end of the hallway, and the toilet wasn't great – the flush was very weak.

Service was great! The receptionists were very helpful and polite, especially the one gentleman. We had a great time staying away from the crowds. The sunbeds were plenty, the beach was amazing, though the water is not very suitable for swimming during low tide since there are tons of sea urchins everywhere. I rented their kayak and rowed out to be able to swim safely in the deeper water. We had two villas on the hill, great views of the ocean. In one of the rooms, the inside was clean but there was an old beer can and some cigarette butts on the balcony that I assume housekeeping missed. They were out there for the entirety of our 2 nights stay. We were able to hire longtail boats back and forth to downtown at a reasonable rate. The reception was helpful in helping us book a boat ride to check out the islands. We had most of our meals at the hotel restaurant, decent food!

Upon arriving in Phi Phi, look for the resort's sign; there's a free longtail boat transfer at 1 PM. The resort has a pleasant location with a very calm beach and some free sun loungers. However, we booked a standard room and ended up in rooms 319 and 318, which were very high up. They looked nothing like the rooms in the photos. The walls between rooms are incredibly thin (drywall/plasterboard); you can perfectly hear conversations from the next room, the boat engines, and cicadas as early as 7 AM. If I hadn't cleaned the showerhead, the shower would have been more like a trickle from a tap. Nevertheless, the view from the room is incredible, and the AC works well. Breakfast is good and varied. The hotel provides towels and even offers some free snorkeling gear. The hotel staff are very attentive and polite. From Long Beach to Tonsai, it's 100 THB per person, or 150 THB per person after 6 PM, or a 40-minute (3.5km) walk along the beach. We didn't complain about the room because we were only staying for two nights. The hotel seems to have immense potential, and it's sad that there's such a lack of maintenance/poor quality building materials.

It's fine for a couple of days. But we didn't like Phi Phi itself. We went for relaxation and a beautiful sea, but instead, it was overcrowded, the sea wasn't very clean, and there was constant noise from motorboats. The hotel rooms were tired, and we saw cockroaches. Breakfast from the restaurant had a beautiful view, and the selection was limited, but everything was sufficient and delicious. If you want to arrange a transfer upon arrival, contact the hotel directly via WhatsApp, as the TripCom chat was lengthy and unproductive.

We booked a room for just one night. It was quiet as it's away from the bars and party areas. The beach was also surprisingly close, about 500 meters away. The room had a nice view, and although it showed some wear and tear, the interior was pleasant. There's a 1000 baht deposit, and we'd read reviews about them fining for everything (they even have it written down). So, we photographed everything in the room beforehand. In the end, we had no issues, and the deposit was returned without a fuss. Breakfast was good, with fruits, meat, tea, and coffee.
