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.

Lovely hotel. We are a family with a 4yo and a 1yo. Everyone had a great time. We did a boat tour from the hotel to Monkey beach and to do some snorkeling. Great brekkie. Lunch & dinner can be a bit expensive. Stick to Thai dishes. Rooms confortable.

I was a little disappointed in this resort and I will explain why in detail why. Firstly, when we arrived (and throughout our stay) we were confronted by two large diggers on the beach, a lot of noise and quite a few workmen. This issue persisted throughout our stay and so didn't create the relaxing paradise and ambience that we expected. Incredibly annoying and very disappointing. Secondly, check in was laborious. My credit card and passport disappeared for about 15 mins (no idea why) and I was asked to scan this code and that code with my phone for convenience. Check in took around 30 mins and was tiring. Guests do not want this after such a long, arduous journey. Third, they advertise a swim up bar at the pool. Sadly this was deserted and there was no service there at all, in fact, it wasn't even stocked. We had to go to another bar that was set back from the pool. Not exactly convenient for swimmers! All the other hotels that we visited in Thailand had a fully stocked and staffed swim up bars. Another disappointment. Other issues: the resort itself was very poorly lit at night; even the reception, which should have had a reasonable level of lighting was so dark that members of my family had accidents. Tripping over cables and walking into objects and stubbing toes were some of the issues. Also, the resort also offered no way to get cash for the guests. We were sent to village shops at the back of the hotel to get cash. Other issues, sometimes the buggy never turned up at our room despite ordering one. This resort is not 5 star, period. However, on the upside, the resort staff were lovely and tried to accommodate our needs as best they could. Housekeeping was excellent and they even called on us x2 per day to see to our needs. When the tide was in, the beach was utterly stunning and offered crystal clear waters and lovely soft white sand. The resort is very convenient for exploring Bamboo island and offers lots of activities. The village at the back of the resort is great for food and drink. I recommend Camel Rock Bar and Buffalo Head Bar and for food I recommend a restaurant called 'Pad Thai'...Overall our Beachfront beach house was lovely and the outdoor shower was used several times per day. Amazing to have an outdoor shower! The room was spacious and had tropical foliage at the front that offered sightings of humming birds and tropical butterflies. Lovely Read less

Bikes: free Excursions: from 1700 bhat to 3000 bhat, depending on what you do and if you include lunch. Few restaurants, pizza was good, nothing special. Breakfast was delicious. This is included and has a buffetstyle option. The giftshop is nice but also very expensive. If possible try and buy things at the village to, this supports the local community. They cats get feeding spots throughout the hotel and sunday there is a beach clean up activity. This is very good! we upgraded the room upon arrival. The room was restored and modern. The pool was okey, but needs a bit of a clean. The boat back to phuket was not arranged well... we had to stop twice to get on a new boat. Read less
