PP Princess Resort - SHA plus: Great location. Some guests here felt disturbed by the noise of the local bars in the night. Not the best service, if you believe reviews on tripadvisor.com.
PP Charlie Beach Resort - SHA plus: All buildings are located on one of the central streets of the island what can disturb the sleep. Party people will not mind. Quite good reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Phi Phi Palms Residence: From 1450 Bath. Rooms in a longhouse, whose structure survived the Tsunami. "Without the bungalows of pre-tsunami years, this resort has lost a little of its flavour, however it is still a good place to stay", finds travelfish.org
Phi Phi Anita Resort: From 1200 Bath.
Phi Phi Viewpoint Resort: From 1200 Bath. About ten minutes walking distance from the beach. You walk up to the roooms, but the views "compensate", as travelfish.org notes. See pictures by Staciek and Наталья
Phi Phi Arboreal Resort: From 1700 Bath.
P.P. Casita: Small bungalows, larger chalets and rooms in a hotel-complex. "The swimming pool is quite the envy of the surrounding resorts with its suave infinity edge and flashy sun loungers", notes travelfish.org.
Phitharom PP Resort: From 1900 Bath. You have to climb up some stairs to the villas, but thanks to climbing you will have good views from your romm-balconies. "Worth the money if you are looking for that cool, traditional design feel", comments travelfish.org. See Maggie O's picture of the pool.
Ciao Bella: At the beach front, beneath PP Twin Palms. Hexagonal bungalows made from teak wood. Good Thai and Italian restaurant (picture by Umberto Giovi), but: You are disturbed by "the noise wars between Apache, Ibiza and Slinky's bars", as travelfish.org describes it.
PP Twin Palm Bungalows: From 800 Bath. Basic and small bamboo bungalows close to the beach (picture by gangrenetriplets). "If you share one with a partner, you'd better like each other a hell of a lot", points travelfish.org out. There are also concrete rooms with aircon, a better choice. But a lot of music of young people around at night!
Ton Sai Beach อ่าวต้นไทร
Phi Phi Cliff Beach Resort - SHA plus: On the quiet end of Tonsai beach. You can see monkeys at the back at the hotel, but a barrier prevents them to get in. Rooms have thin walls, you hear the neighbours. The hotel is outdated, roomkeeping not good according to critical reviews on tripadvisor.com. But there are happy guests as well.
Mama Beach Residence: From 1900 Bath. Good reviews on tripadvisor.com
Sand Seaview Resort:
Phi Phi Island Cabana Hotel: From 7000 Bath. Pro's according to travelfish.org: Stunning pool (see picture by crcrowle), big rooms with great seaviews and fine dining options. "On the downside, it's huge, garish, made from block cement, and the only hotel you can spot from the ocean."
Phi Phi Banyan Villa - SHA plus: Good gym. Rather good reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Chao Koh Phi Phi Lodge: From 950 Bath.
Phi Phi Don Chukit Resort:
PP Andaman Legacy- SHA plus: A mosque one one side, a chicken farm on the other side: some guests don't get enough sleep here, as they say on tripadvisor.com. With a rooftop pool. Mixed reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Phi Phi Villa Resort - SHA plus: Located in a quiet area at the beach, around 800 metres from the pier. The resort has been refurbished recently. Old reviews on tripadvisor.com a bit mixed, now they are very good.
Phi Phi Andaman Resort: From 1400 Bath.
Phi Phi Andaman Beach Resort - SHA plus: Close to the beach, rooms outdated according to reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Bay View Resort: From 2000 Bath.
Arayaburi Resort:
Viking Natures Resort: From 2200 Bath. From bamboo huts with shared bathrooms to more luxurious accommodation.
Had Yao - Long Beach ชายหาดทอดยาว
Long Beach with Koh Phi Phi Leh in the distance
Paradise Pearl Bungalow: See pictures by ptit-panda, Dustin Rudgers and Michael.
Paradise Resort Phi Phi - SHA plus: Specialized in rooms for families. See pictures by trent_maynard and Tom & Evi. Location is great, service can be rude, rooms more on the basic side according to reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Phi Phi Long Beach resort and Ville - SHA plus: Picturesque location, white beach, a bit rundown standard rooms according to reviews on tripadvisor.com.
P.P. Blue Sky Resort - SHA plus: The sky blue colors don't fit, comments travelfish.org, but: "the interior of the bungalows are excellent and relatively new".
Phi Phi The Beach Resort - SHA plus: 40 bungalows up the hill with "breathtaking views", as travelfish.org mentions. Acoording to reviews on tripadvisor.com the resort would need some renovation.
Ao Toh Ko โต๊ะกอ บีช
Panorama of Ao Toh Ko
Tohko Beach Resort: Rustic and basic huts. No hot water in hillside bungalows. Rund by a wonderful family according to quite good reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Rantee Beach อ่าวรันตี
Rantee is a laid back beach. You cannot find bungalows with aircon here (electricity only on evenings). Because there are some bars, the nights can be noisy. But its the best beach for snorkelling. "The main highlight of Rantee is the abundance of stunning hard and soft corals which lie directly off the beach", describes travelfish.org.
The Cove Phi Phi: Former Rantee Cliff Beach Resort. Coral reefs in front of the beach, amazing for snorkeling. Very quiet location. Some steep steps to the bungalows. Rather good reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Phak Nam Bay อ่าวผักหนาม
Phi Phi Relax Beach Resort: From 900 Bath. "Grass hut, with spiders, lizards, snakes and roaches, but also with a kick-ass view", meesherson comments this picture.
Loh Ba Kao Bay บาเกาเบย์
Good for swimming. During tide longtail boats cannot reach the beach, you have to wade for around hundred metres.
SAii Phi Phi Island Village - SHA plus: A lot of excellent reviews on tripadvisor.com. A huge resort. Some guests are not amazed as they had to walk in the water from the boat to the arrival point. But the hotel cannot build a pier due to natural protection rules. Very good reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Haad Laem Thong (Palm Beach) แหลมตง
A community of sea gypsies (Chao Leh) are living here, running food stalls and shops. This beach has enough room and is not crowded, because it's away from the centre.
Phi Phi Natural Resort - SHA plus: The beach is about 20 steps from the hotel and you can swim 15 meters out and be surrounded by coral reef. Lately very good reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Zeavola Phi Phi Resort - SHA plus: "It would be hard to find a place that better combines the joys of nature with the pleasures of wealth", notes travelfish.org. Very nice sunset and beach. "A slide of paradise" according to excellent reviews on tripadvisor.com. For people who like to stay at a quiet location surrounded by nature and wildlife.
Laem Tong Beach in front of Zeavola
PP Erawan Palms Resort - SHA plus: On the quiet side of the island. "Its location in the middle of the beach is a plus and the resort does offer everything you'd expect from a place in this price range, but it does suffer from its proximity to other high-end resorts", comments travelfish.org. Very nice staff according to good reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Phi Phi Holiday Resort - SHA Plus: Seaview bungalows have a huge outdoor deck. Excellent reviews on tripadvisor.com.
Koh Phi Phi Leh เกาะพีพีเล:
"The Beach" - Koh Phi Phi Leh
Maya Bay
Maya Bay
Maya Bay has been closed for tourists until mid-2021. Maya Bay is just 250 metres long and 1 5metres wide. It got popular by the Hollywood movie "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio. Too popular: In the last years crowds of tourists visited the small beach. Up to 5,000 people were visiting the bay every day and most of its coral died as a result. Therefore he Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation decided to close the beach on June 1 2018. The beach is part of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Koh Phi Phi National Park. The result of the closure was some ecological recovery, as Bangkok Post reported. Blacktip reef sharks have been sighted swimming in the waters of the bay. But still not enough recovery. Assistant Prof Thon Thamrongnawasawat, a Kasetsart University marine biologist and member of the national park's committee, announced that a ticket system will be introduced and the number of visitors per day will be limited to 2400.
