Such an amazing place, cabins were amazing, staff was amazing. I have nothing but great things about this place. Breakfast was great, drinks and food at the elephant restaurant was amazing as well. Definitely book here, you won't regret it. If you want to be by the walking street, its not for you. You have to walk the beach down for about 5 min then cross the resort down an ally to the strip. It was perfect for me, but took a second to find the way.

Problems sorted to total satisfaction
Booked a room with air con (according to Hotels.com website, given a room with a fan which resulted in a sleepless night. Messaged Hotels.com the next day which was frustrating due to broken signals, but they refunded me immediately. Paid £40 to upgrade into a fantastic room. Checked out 4 days early.

No pick up from the port available which is fine as there’s taxis there but this wasn’t communicated and we were the only ones with no hotel pick up waiting. The rooms are basic but clean, the view is incredible and the beach is perfect!! The breakfast was good, you can select off of a menu rather than the typical buffet which made a nice change

Lipe is an island that’s worth the visit and Lipe Beach Resort has villas with sea view. They have a beautiful hotel but the drawbacks are the plastic amenities on the bathroom, it is heated with electricity but it’s ok (I believe you won’t get an electric shock) and the breakfast is limited and with vouchers. Basically they give you a voucher for breakfast but just for one item. You can eat an omelette, there’s coffee and juices included (they are packed and not fresh fruit, so it needs a change). If you wish to eat anything else, you must pay extra and they only take cash at check-out. Lipe is still one of the most virgin places in Thailand, so it is worth the visit and Lipe Beach Resort is a good place to stay. It’s quite a walk to the Main Street but the surroundings have 2 other resorts and a beach bar perfect for the sunset.

Great spot for relaxing, plenty of shade , light music from the bar . Need to take a towel or ground cover , some day beds . Beach side easy access , good swimming . Budget rooms small no airconditioning no hot water . Still quiet ok . You can get upgrades to more stylishly accomodation. Easy walk into town or get a motorcycle taxi ,cheap . Staff will arrange taxi bike back to ferry terminal . Overall we enjoyed our stay for 4 nights .

Great place. Beach is amazing with white sand and clear water. There are very limited sun beds available. Only a few for the villa in the first row by the water and a few for the bar. Overall great place and good location. One bad experience was we were asked to leave after spending 3 nights and asking to extend to 4. We were told by the front desk girl everything was fine for the 4th night however at check out time on the 3rd day we were asked to leave rather abruptly.

The chalet is good. Simple and nice. Bed is comfortable. Fridge and shower heater is provided. However the shower heater has mild electricity leakage which I feel is dangerous. Location:  Very near the beach. Clean area and peaceful. Breakfast selections are limited as my family prefers Halal food. But its OK, at least we have options. Just that walking street is not very near, and we have to take taxi which takes us through a super bumpy muddy road crossing the local village. It costs 50baht per trip per person. Laundry service:  My sister's family had a misunderstanding that the service is free (probably communication breakdown due to language barrier with the short hair reception lady). So both of us sent in our laundry and we weren't even told of the price breakdown when we sent in the laundry. The worst part is the laundry was not even fully dry when we received them back! It's damp and will smell as we need to travel back, which then requires us to rewash them all over again. This is horrible experience. I'm very disappointed with this. Hope you will look into this and provide a better service to your customers. Thank you.

On the beach and save some bucks
The hotel is situated at a very quiet part of the beach. Would be nice if you want clean beach away from the hustle. The downside of it would be some walk (acceptable) to the market especially at night time making it more difficult. The room is clean but minimal, relatively not well lit. Staffs are friendly.

Unhappy Stay
I was unhappy with my stay. We stayed two nights. On the first night it was loud with music blasting and people yelling very loudly until at least 2am. This in spite of the hotel having a posted quiet time of 10pm right beside their own bar. This is meant to be a quieter place to stay away from the busier bars on the island. On top of that our fan didn't work and with all the heat you can get on on Lipe we basically suffocated for the night. We complained the next day when the front desk was open and they shrugged and apologized while blaming other guests. I asked to speak to the manager. I was told she would be in at 12 so I came back at noon and she also blamed other guests but to their credit they did replace our fan. That was it. Just told to put up and shut up. The included breakfast was ok except that the automatic espresso machine you self serve from had the water tubing at the back full of black mold. Rather off putting. Considering the price of this place, we thought we might be treating ourselves to some luxury, but we were sorely mistaken. Would not go here again.

Lovely spot with unparalleled views and access to the beach. A bit of construction happening during low season, and there was a mixup with our breakfast vouchers, but it was sorted in the end with pleasantry. The staff were very nice, the room basic with only a fan, but clean and comfy. The hotel restaurant had a great and very cheap menu, with great food and large portions.

Magic hotel at the beach, best ever in Thailand
We were looking for the dream Thailand beach place, kid-friendly as we have an almost 2 years old, and affordable. Our must-have criterias were: at the beach, short walk from room to beach, from beach to bar & snorkelling right at the beach. The hotel was just perfect, it had all this and so much more. Lovely day beds at the beach where you could have breakfast and yummy food and cocktails all day, super good food and great prices, super quick and good service, an island you can swim to in front of the beach, fish coming to you when you got into the water. Lovely sand, plenty of shadow on the beach at all time, great kids shadowy outdoor play area with many toys, stuff super kid friendl, fantastic thai massage at the beach, and super lovely and friend owner (Thai/Dutch) who go out of their way to keep the place spotless, even asking longtails not to pass by the lovely beach so we can enjoy what Koh Lipe was famous for, the deserted island feeling :) When I ventured out of the hotel and beach (it was hard!), I realized this is the best spot of the beach, as it is at the end, it is wider and it is not crowded at all. We had a garden fan only bungalow and it was totally fine end of February.Oh and the hotel helped me arrange a lovely birthday cake for my husband, they were so nice and could arrange on FB Messenger, perfect English speaking.

Ko Lipe No lipe
on the beach, which is lovely, but the accommodation was awful. OK, so it was a basic bungalow with a "garden view", and it is far from cheap. The bungalow was a small, badlly built garden shed, surrounded by other garden sheds with 2 metres in between, the garden view was the back of the shed in front, and corrugated iron sheds behind No sun on the tiny balcony, only furniture was a bed, a shelf and a small stool. No room for anything else. No fridge, which is very annoying, and not even a bottle of water supplied. OK for passing through, but for a holiday one needs a pleasant private space to relax. in. Managed 3 nights then went to the resort next door, where we rented a fabulous bungalow, at twice the price, but 100 times better To be fair, the lady did re rent our shed for 3 days of the remaining 4, but only gave us 70% of the cash back. Not a great experience. PS we had a huge spider which obviously came through one of the many gaps between the wall and the floor.

Great location - basic accomodation
One of the older "resorts" on the island. Very small and basic accomodation with very basic bathrooms. Make sure you book a room with air conditioning! spectacular view and very reasonable price. All in all good value for location and views. If you are looking for luxury maybe look for a newer (more expensive) resort.

Nice location to the Sunrise Beach
the location is great for low season, close to speedboat pier and right on beach front. But the facilities and the room I rent wasn't good at all, it really simple - bed and toilet with cool water shower and they all need to be repaired including windows. The door was repaired on my 1st day! I stayed 4 nights 5 days and no room service at all not even change trash bin, you can't dump any thing in to toilet, it won't flash, so trash bin full of toilet papers! the room fare is really for the view only (see sunrise), not worth for the room (compare to other nearby hotels). During the time I stay, they had construction work right behind me and heard noise from 8 to 4pm plus my neighbor was very loud, good thing there is other things to see or do on the island, the water was the best of the island. I will consider going back to visit the island but may not stay at the same hotel. The staff were friendly, don't expect to see any staff after 7pm. The island has a lot lot of dogs and cats.

Closed to the beach, nice hotel and staffs
This hotel is in front of sunrise beach. Staffs are friendly, service minded. They carry my bag and reject my tips at all incredible. Room is quite cleanness unless there are some mosquito and cockroach but acceptable as resort stated at island. A bit things that should improve are make up room should be completely because maid forget to give water, glasses and remote air con were disappear after make up room. Also, If room have TV, hair dryer, it would be greater good choice to stay absolutely.

Nice place but not worth the value
Overall it was a nice place but not the greatest value. The service was average but friendly and the bar/restaurant seemed to close whenever it wasn't busy. I highly recommend a room with air-con, regardless of the view. My room was in the 2nd row from the beach and it was big and clean but the lighting was very dark and the shower pressure was weak.
