Koh Phi Phi, Thailand

Virgin rating

The hotel

Surrounded by lush vegetation, the Saii Phi Phi Island Village is located on a secluded beach along Loh Ba Gao Bay. The traditional-style bungalows with thatched roofs are scattered amongst the 70-acres of tropical gardens, some boasting a sublime sea view. Indulge yourself in the open-air Api Restaurant, which specialises in Thai and International cuisine in a variety of styles and the day starts with the generous buffet breakfast overlooking the beach. At sunset, enjoy the zinging cocktails at The Beach Grill & Chill. For a special romantic dinner, the Ruan Thai Restaurant up on the hillside offers Thai specialities on its candlelit terrace overlooking the 1000 sq m infinity pool and bay. There is a rejuvenating spa and for the more active, there is plenty to do with water sports, a 5-star PADI diving centre and excursions to Maya Bay and the neighbouring islands.

We stayed at this resort as part of a multi stop trip across Thailand. We visited Thailand last year on a cruise and decided to try this option instead. We came to this resort after visiting Bangkok for 3 nights and were looking forward to a bit of r and r after the business of the city. We stayed in one of the deluxe garden view bungalows. This was fine but not really 5 star. This however was where we found most solitude in the resort. The infinity (quiet) pool was anything but with kids screaming and shouting around it. This was if you were lucky enough to get a sun bed as numbers were restricted and towels left on all day and not removed by staff. Some people ended up sitting on the grass!! The hotel itself is very expensive for Thailand thankfully we frequented the village behind which we found gave us a better Thai experience at a 3rd of the price and better service. The gym is a joke half the equipment is broken and very old. It’s a shame as the setting is lovely but this hotel is no way a 5 star maybe a 4 at best. Read less

The hotel is pleasant, but it charges a price much higher than what it offers. There is no regular transfer from Phiphi Port to the hotel, and as there is no land transport, you are hostage to taxi boats - a super risky adventure to take a taxi boat at night in the open sea. The hotel does not have a pier at sea, you invariably get your feet wet… Read more
The hotel is pleasant, but it charges a price much higher than what it offers. There is no regular transfer from Phiphi Port to the hotel, and as there is no land transport, you are hostage to taxi boats - a super risky adventure to take a taxi boat at night in the open sea. The hotel does not have a pier at sea, you invariably get your feet wet when entering and leaving the boats. the meals are average, nothing special (remember that we have difficulty going to the center of the island to see other restaurants). The table service in restaurants is quite poor, they give you the bottle of wine you bought and don't serve it by the glass. the rooms are good, the chalets are wonderful and there are golf carts to take you to your chalet. the pool and gym are good. The hotel's private beach is fantastic. Maybe if the hotel realizes that its category is four stars and charges a fair price, it will get a better rating from its guests. Read less
