Phi Phi Viewpoint Resort, Phi Phi Island, Lo Dalam Beach
Phi Phi Viewpoint is on the outskirts of the main part of Phi Phi Don and is therefore quite a walk from the Pier. However, they make up for the location with a beautiful view of the island from the bungalows which are situated on the hill. The bungalows are spacious with a balcony, but are mosquito infested so remember to bring some repellent. The pool is quite good, although small and there arent enough deck chairs and breakfast is also good. Overall a pleasant stay.

For the price, I thought that was better. I liked the service but will not choise it again in a future visit.

Phi Phi Viewpoint Resort, Phi Phi Island, Lo Dalam Beach
I would not recomend this hotel to other travllers. We were booked into thid hotel for 6 nights but checked out after only 2 and went back to Phuket instead. I had read a number of bad reviews prior to my stay here and had I not already paid in full for the stay then I would have made other arrangements. There were several reasons why we left early ; - The pool is very small and there are only 8 sun loungers around it, which get filled up very early. This would not be a prolem if the beach was good however the water is too shalow for swimming and at it s deepest only came up to my knees. Becuase of this when the tide goes out, it goes out for miles, so you are even unable to paddle unless you walk a long way. I here this beach and Ton Sai beach are theworst for swimming and Had I known this before I would have booked into a hotel on another beach. Also the first night in the hotel I was bitten 10 times on my face by either bed bugs or by some other insects which managed to get in via the gap in the patio doors. As other people have said the walk into town, although quite short, it is not very pretty as you have to pass lots of damage which has not been cleaned up by the tsunarmi. Ton Sai village is not very nice either, the streets are very narrow and full of back packer type bars which in an evening have their own touts who try to harras you into visiting their bar. This reminded me Magaluf rather than he paradise island I was expecting. In hindsight I would not have stayed on this island and would just have gone for one of the many day trips from Phuket, where at least I would hvae seen the nice sights instead of the horrible ones. If you want to spend time on a small island and are looking for paradise then Phi Phi isn t for you, and you should try one of the multitude of other Island that can be found in Thailand i.e. Surin Island or Similan Islands.

This is the first time I have used Sawadee and have used them for all 4 of my Thailand bookings and they have been excellent. They have made ammendments to some of my bookings at short notice at my request and got me a full refund for my Bangkok hotel when we had to change our itinary due to the airport closures.

If you want the most amazing view of the beach and surrounding mountains with palms on, from your large bedroom windows and private balcony, well this is the place for you. But its a bit pricey. You pay for what you get.

Very efficient booking service

Great place. If you can get one of the new fan bungalows on the hill it is worth the walk up for the view you get. Pool is nice and you can order cocktails in it. The staff and mini market are also helpful and very friendly.

View point Resort staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The pool and bar have a great view over the beach and just a short walk into town. The cocktails at the bar were fantastic and a huge variety to choose from. Room was comfortable and clean. Would definetely stay here again.

No hassles with booking, was kept up to date and had no problems despite us making a late booking.

we was staying there for 5 days in a see view bungalow with the number v7. we was paying roundabout 2.300,- thb. the view was very nice and the room was realy big. sometimes the water in the bathroom was not clear. looks like a brown riverwater. but if we let it flow for a longer time it gets clearer and cleaner. the bedcovers were also not realy clean and wite. the stuff in the kitchen was smoking while he was cooking. at the pool we were missing some umbrellas for the sun.

everything fine.

Phi Phi Viewpoint Resort, Phi Phi Island, Lo Dalam Beach
This place was pretty great. It s a hike from the pier, but, if you locate the Viewpoint Staff that is waiting for you, they will take your bags for you. And they ll lead you through the town to your room.
Viewpoint is located perfectly far enough away from town so that you don t have to hear loud music when you sleep. But, sometimes there s a beach party that may cause some noise, but it s not bad enough to keep you up.
We thought the staff were very nice. There was a cool 0degreez pool with a good bar that served cocktails poolside. From the pool, you have a perfect view of the beach. Also, just down the road there s a really cool hangout called the Sunflower Bar. It s cheap drinks and food and pretty tasty. The only bad thing is that the path from town to the resort is poorly lit and badly paved. It s no problem if you bring a flashlight.
We stayed in the Fan Bungalow. It s easily the best rooms in the hotel. Sure, there s no hot water, but you don t need it. With the location of these bungalows, you get lots of airflow so that you can stay cool very easy. These rooms have the best view on the island. Your balcony is your own private Sunset Viewpoint. You can stack your fridge full of cheap bears from town and have a great pre-party at your room watching the sunset. The Fan Bungalows are a small hike up the hill but they re worth it. They re private and have big beds.
Also, the concierge at the hotel offers cheap travel and tours on and around the island. The people are all pretty helpful.
The hotel breakfast is good too. Pretty slow and not very many smiles but it s good enough.
I d give this place 5 out of 5.
Location. Location. Location.

I think that this hotel is by far the most peaceful hotel on the island (not counting those hotels that are far away from everything). The staff are very helpful. The beach front room is very nice and worth it. And the pool has the most amazing view. I just hope that the path and construction between the hotel and the town will be done soon. It just a little hard to walk when it rains. But everything else is great.

Booking through this website is very convenient and easy. I would like it even more if it has an option that you can choose not to have breakfast included.

Great Hotel. Fairly quiet and only a short distance to the main centre of Phi Phi. We stayed there for three nights and had a ball. Would recommend this hotel to others.
