Hotel: Lipa Noi, Ko Samui

Punti positivi: -Excellent Service, friendly staff. Willing to help everything. -Professional Spa service. -Nice vacation atmosphere. Friendly guests. -Very good price price. The beach front villa here cost much less than other hotels but still guarantee you good level of everything.

Punti negativi: - Room Furniture and some facilities a bit old. - Beach not clean enough.

Punti positivi: Villette con piscina privata, molto eleganti e curate , servizio perfetto ( per essere in thai ) spiaggia bella con bassi fondali. Zona fuori da tutto quindi fuori dal Resort c’è il deserto, lamai dista mezz’ora di motorino, alla sera le strade sono buie

Punti positivi: Amazing place to spend your holiday on Koh Samui. The villas (most with private pool) are very comfortable and clean. We did an upgrade to a beach villa and it was really worth it, fantastic views and directly at the beach. The hotel includes one of the best restaurants of Lipa Noi with very reasonable prices. Friendly, helpful staff (especially Da Da :) and very family-friendly overall. Would definitely recommend this place and come back here!

Punti negativi: Some wear and tear at the exterior of the villas, but nothing major.

Punti positivi: We stayed here for the second time in the last three years and the hotel has improved. Very friendly staff, great bungalows, nice pool, chilled atmosphere, very good kitchen, perfect location on a wonderfully quiet and clean beach in Lipa Noi. If you wish peace and relaxation in a chic but relaxed atmosphere, is right here. Incidentally, we are still there because we spontaneously extended our stay. Thank you Ekaterina and your great staff.

Punti negativi: Should definetely be a „adult only“ Hotel, because some (not all) families are able to destroy the chilled and relaxed atmosphere in total.

Punti positivi: Lo staff

Punti positivi: Great Location, Pool, at the nicest part of the beach. Great staff members, especially at the reception, with Papsi, Da-da and Mint.

Punti negativi: Breakfast options could be extended (e.g. salami, other sausages,...)

Punti positivi: Very nice location on Lipa Noi, quiet part of the Island. The Hotel is well maintiained, the staff is very friendly and supportive. Restaurant good, while a bit on the more expensive (but not crazy) side. VERY good breakfast for Thai-standards, and quite good in general. Beach is extremely well cleaned, spotless. We had a beachfront villa with private (aprox. 10m2 large) pool, highly recommended. I want to highlight again the staff, very friendly and helpful.

Punti negativi: Massage at hotel double the prize outside (but that's normal) The hotel Management seems a bit strange. We stayed for 13 nights, and the lady who seems to be the Manager didn't say hello once. Not that there was a need for discussion, but I would have expected a "hello"... I had the impression that Russian guests were welcomed. Anyhow, the friendly staff made up for this by being friendly.

Punti positivi: Beautiful villa. Area lovely and quiet but with a few other options for drinks and food along the beach.

Punti negativi: Quite expensive to stay.

Punti positivi: The staff were so friendly and helpful, the meals were the best we’ve had, the rooms comfortable, modern and well maintained - we can’t recommend this hotel enough. We loved the location - away from the crowds and a lovely beach. Was hard to leave!

Punti negativi: Nothing

Punti positivi: The staff were absolutely brilliant, couldn't do enough for us and were very accommodating. Dada, Aye and especially Win were lovely to deal with. Everything was spotless and we were sad to leave .Would go back again in a heartbeat.

Punti positivi: The staff are very friendly, helpful and generous. Very lovely people!

Punti positivi: Location was excellent.

Punti negativi: Seemed ridiculous you have to hang the sign if you want the room made up. Any other hotel just comes and makes the room unless you have a sign saying you DON'T want it made up. Staff were less than helpful when I asked for it to be made up and I didn't appreciate being told "We told you this but you were obviously too tired to remember when we arrived". No, we were not tired and no, you did not tell us this detail.

Punti positivi: We absolutely loved our stay ! You get a big apartment, massive comfy bed, luggage room masseuse table where the masseuse lady comes to you so you can experience it in your own villa, huge dressing room with shower and 2!toilets. Everything was super clean and the staff were very attentive.The property only has 10villas so you almost feel like it’s your own little complex. Restaurant was nice and overlooks a nice little beach which as tree swings for that perfect picture. Sadly we only booked for 4 days. We did ask to extend but they were booked up. I really recommend booking if you like your luxury comforts. I would recommend booking a car to get around if you like visiting different restaurants and getting around ( that’s just us personally though) the staff sorted out our car in five minutes. Everything is fairly cheap and they don’t rip people off.I can’t recommend this place enough. You also have a huge pool looking over the beach. We booked into another villa after our stay that was more expensive and better start star rating and it did not come close to siam boutique.

Punti negativi: Nothing loved everything:)

Punti positivi: The place is very beautiful and quiet. It is located on a small beach with a beautiful pool and garden! The house is very clean, big, with a kingsize bed and everything you need. The staff is very kind and pleasent! The breakfest is very tasty but just few things to eat! Excellent!

Punti negativi: The hotel is a little bit isolated and the beach is not in the top of ko samui beaches.

Punti positivi: 24 hours pool, clean rooms, welcome and goodbye room decorations, huge beds. Being in the west part of the island, if it’s not cloudy is ideal for sunset.

Punti negativi: We arrived around 8.30 and head straight towards the restaurant. Once arrived, the waitress told us there were plenty of outstanding orders so she asked us to go to our room. There was nobody to be seen in the restaurant so we insisted to stay (the restaurant close at 10 pm) and have been served in 10/15 minutes. Another couple arrived 30’ later and went back to their room. The beach in front of the resort is small and the sea is far from what you’d imagine. The seabed is muddy and you have to walk at least 100 meters to wet more then your ankles. The bathroom will be probably 20 square meter but toilets and shower are reduced to a 1 square meter box and, if you are tall, say goodbye to your privacy. Despite having a NO pets policy, a couple have 2 dogs walking freely around the resort. We were comfortable with it but is you are scared by dogs make sure to ask clearly if the rule will be bent during your stay. The resort policy for anything bought at the bar/restaurant is quite foggy. Sometimes you signed a receipt, sometimes you don’t and, even if we found nothing unexpected in our room bills, the procedure should be clarified to avoid misunderstanding. The place is totally isolated. Nathan, the first populated village is 10’ drive from the resort and you cannot walk there. Because of that, the price in the bar and in the restaurant are more London style then Thailand’s. Almost 20 bucks for a really poor breakfast and some bread selection are definitely too much. Dinner was more expensive then the island average as well so, after the first day we went to the resort next door where portions were bigger and prices lower. We also tried to rent a motorbike but the receptionist struggled with English and failed to answer simply question about the insurance (we asked for theft and fire cover and she told there was none, we than asked for third party liability and she also told us there was no insurance in place) so we gave up.

Punti positivi: The resort is fantastic, the bedroom is amazing, the bathroom is huge and everything was very well cleaned. The food was good. And it’s really well located.

Punti positivi: Food , and room was really nice

Punti negativi: Nothing

Punti positivi: Great resort for calm vacation, but Nikka resort make party nearby. Beach is a bit dirty when waves come but it's OK.

Punti positivi: La tranquillità, la pulizia e l'ottimo ristorante. Personale cortese. Bellissimo il tramonto

Punti negativi: È un po troppo isolato

Punti positivi: Staff fantastico sempre molto disponibile e gentile. Villetta spaziosa pulita e molto bella. Cibo ottimo, colazione TOP

Punti negativi: La posizione non e’ il massimo, per spostarsi necessario scooter che noleggiano al resort Spiaggia del resort non bellissima

Punti positivi: Everything was perfect. Special thanks to very helpful menager Ralph. We had huge and very comportable house. There was quiet beach and beautiful sunsets. Service at the reception and restaurant was wonderful. We highly recommend this hotel.

Punti positivi: We loved staying here. We came with high expectations and they were all met. The staff, facilities, room, food, were all perfect. Airport shuttle, pool, beach were all excellent. You are right on the beach, with the perfect swimming pool as well. The staff is wonderful and truly made our vacation special. The poolside villa is a treat!

Punti negativi: Of note, you should know ahead of time that this resort is small (boutique is a good description) and somewhat remote. Its impossible to walk really anywhere off the property. We knew this when we chose this place, and desired these traits, but if you are looking for a big resort or lively nightlife nearby, you will be disappointed.

Punti positivi: Many mesquites, many street’s dogs on land and on the beach. The sea is dirty and very shallow. We could not swim. No reasonable transportation. The property located far away from the main touristic

Punti positivi: The place and the staff were amazing. The rooms are very very spacious and everything is so clean. Breakfast is delicious. The commun places are very well kept, the garden well taken care of. The manager is so helpful and kind, he makes everything easy and comfortable! Compare to other hotels, this place a really great value for money.

Punti negativi: Unfortunately, we were staying when the owners were also there. They made us feel uncomfortable for different reasons, telling the staff to tell us that some things were forbidden, when they are usually not. It put us and the staff in an uncomfortable situation as they could not explain the news rules and the owner refused to come and talk to us directly. We actually shortened our stay because of this. However, they are only there a few weeks a year, so it shouldn't be a problem for your stay.

Punti positivi: Spacious accommodation.

Punti negativi: Water pressure is very very low. Even after several comments, management said he has turned on (he should not have turned off in the first place), it was still low.

Punti positivi: The staff

Punti positivi: Camera ampia e luminosa, letto ottimo, zone relax fronte mare. Family mart al dilà del parcheggio. Ottimo ristorante annesso, molto popolato ma anche caro. Ideale per cena romantica in spiaggia. Spiaggia pulita ed impeccabile per fantastiche passeggiate. Impossibile fare snorkeling ma fantastico per bagni e nuotate. Acqua immobile senza onde. Sempre ventilato e fresco. Mercatino locale a 100 mt per pasti economici e frutto. Consigliato a coppie

Punti negativi: La pecca principale é il rumore e il traffico della strada principale adiacente. Autotreni, camion e moto passano continuamente, di giorno, per imbarcarsi al pier di Lipa noi. Mancava un piccolo frigo.

Punti positivi: Very frendly owner and personal, very clean and comfortable rooms, good air con, directely at the beach, yummi food in the restaurant... would definetely book this hotel again

Punti positivi: Excellent contact with Charlie and we enjoyed the Restaurant and the nearby Massage on the beach.

Punti positivi: Staff was friendly and approachable. Loved the proximity to the beach. Clean and simple. Focus on recycling, great place to Think.

Punti positivi: location, food, employees

Punti positivi: Think & Retro cafe is very cosy, has remote and peopleless location (whole beach to ourselves!!!), and the best cuisine I’ve met in Thailand so far))) I was apprehensive about accommodation before coming, as in my experience containers are usually too small and too hot for comfortable living. But guys made wonders with them! They made double roof, which prevents containers from heating and also controls noise (otherwise during rain it would be like living inside drum))) ). So rooms are generally quiet and cool (conditioning is your friend). Through all stay we were literary the only ones on a beach for 100-200 m! It felt fantastical not to worry about children or too eager students and just lay lazily on the water. Small supermarket is across the road, plenty cafes in hotels in short beach walk, motorbike rental and excursions office are in 15-20 min walk. Hotel staff is very helpful, and can order taxi for you (trip to nearest town is 400 bahts one way). We tried other cafes around, also in Lamai and Boput: Think & Retro cafe was both best value for money (cheapest except for market food) and most delicious))) in fact, it was the most delicious out of all cafes I’ve tried in Thailand in all my trips (Phuket, Samui, Bangkok).

Punti negativi: My sister was worried about housekeeping: they take out trash once in 2-3 days, and did not clean bathroom through all our stay. I’m ok with that since trash did not contain anything smelly anyway, and bathroom was pretty clean (we are not too piggy :) ), but for someone it might be a problem. Upon arrival rooms were clean.

Punti positivi: Quiet place, Close to Raja port, Friendly staff, breakfast was good

Punti negativi: Beach front room quite old, bathroom need the improvement.

Punti positivi: Great location, lovely beach with great swimming. Staff friendly and helpful. We were given a breakfast sandwich to take away as we were leaving on the 8.00 ferry. Perfect place to chill and a Family Mart just across the road.

Punti negativi: We always prefer to have a fridge and tea and coffee in the room, here they didn’t do that. We were perplexed that the ‘Shuttle’ Service’ as advertised to enable us to easily get to the pier, did not exist. We had to walk 1.5 km with our bags!

Punti positivi: Location is good.

Punti negativi: Staff at the restaurant acted totally put out when asked for help. Fries were cold when served. Waiter grabbed them with his bare hand and dropped them back on plate and walked away. I had to ask the manager for fresh ones.

Punti positivi: Il resort è molto bello! I bungalow sono ben forniti e spaziosi, io avevo il fronte piscina.. spettacolo! Il mare è a 20 m ed è una spiaggia fantastica davvero, tutto bello,!

Punti negativi: La posizione pecca, se vuoi farti un giro.. anche solo un ristorante che nn sia il resort , devi x forza avere un mezzo( il resort affitta gli scooter a 250 bth ) e l’unica cosa che ho trovato un po’ negativa e alcuni membri dello staff, forse sarà x via della bassa stagione, comunque svogliati, scazzati e 0 sorrisi..... x il resto Perfect! Lo consiglio vivamente

Punti positivi: Very nice and calm place to stay. Directly at the beach. Nice pool, good breakfast. The staff was very competent!

Punti negativi: Was expensive compared to more modern resorts close by

Punti positivi: Good location on a quiet beach away from the hustle

Punti negativi: The beds are very hard / uncomfortable. Not worth how expensive it was considering the tiny pool, outdated rooms and limited facilities. The photos make it look much nicer than it is.

Punti positivi: The location was good! The layout of the bungalows were good, gardens and pools good! Reception staff were delightful!

Punti negativi: The management need to make their mind up whether it’s a retreat for detox purposes or a family resort. We are a mature couple and we felt, almost, as though we were intruding, during the many yoga and meditation sessions, that went on throughout the day! The restaurant was aimed specifically at vegans, no idea on how to present breakfast, warm curdled milk, butter and yogurt! The majority of guests were fasting and drinking juices, with talks on the merits of avoiding dairy and meat on your diets! Not entirely the best environment for two meat eating, ordinary holymakers!

Punti positivi: Great price considering the excellent location. There's a decent restaurant, with a really great juice bar in the complex. They also have things like yoga and meditation classes. We didn't partake of them ourselves but we saw people doing them and they looked really fun.

Punti negativi: It may be one to avoid if you prefer a more solitary experience. Even off season in early May there were quite a few people there.

Punti positivi: The food was superfresh and healthy. I liked relaxing yoga vibe of the place. Also nice view from my bungalow.

Punti negativi: The beach was not so nice but I guess it is so in Koh Samui My internet did not worked so well

Punti positivi: The proximity to the beach, the lovely staff, the delicious food & the vibe.

Punti negativi: My room was a bit tired but judge it at the night rate with breakfast and it was really fine. I’d stay there again.

Punti negativi: Wifi

Punti positivi: Nice and quiet location, pools were both unused most of the time which felt like you had a private pool. Simple but clean gym area, as well as classes of yoga offered (at an additional cost). Location was remote, which suited us. With an abdunace of sun chairs at pool and beach.

Punti negativi: Overall we had a pleasant stay, coming to an end of our 5 week Thailand trip. Unfortunately a few minor interruptions occurred during our three night stay, predominately the morning/afternoon restaurant staff were less than friendly, or one individual in particular. Some miscommunication between reception and massage staff and finally we found the value for money, mainly the food/drinks, were quite overpriced.

Punti positivi: Ottima posizione, in riva al mare, spiaggia pulita e silenziosa, acqua cristallina. siamo rimasti solo per una notte ma consigliato per chi vuole pernottare in un bel posto vicino al porto ( per chi si sposta in traghetto). Camera pulitissima,aria condizionata e bagno confortevole. Colazione a buffet, con scelta tra frutta, omelette e Croissants.

Punti negativi: La signora alla reception, per nulla simpatica nè accogliente nei confronti dei turisti.

Punti positivi: Words cannot describe how perfect this hotel has been for us. We upgraded our room to a private plunge pool villa which has unobstructed views of the sea. The staff couldn't be any friendlier or more welcoming, they really would do anything to ensure you have a perfect stay. And I mean every member of staff from reception to restaurant to cleaner and gardeners, they are all truly amazing.

Punti negativi: We have struggled to think of something we don't like and all we can come up with is the shower. It is a stand alone shower cubicle and it wobbles quite a bit when you're in it. But the bath is huge and has a shower head so we've happily used that instead.

Punti positivi: Comfortable room, large airy. Great breakfast, close to beach.

Punti negativi: Not at all suitable for disabled person

Punti positivi: We were provided with separate beech towels which was a nice touch as it meant our own didn't need to be used. Breakfast staff were very friendly and polite. The beech that the hotel leads onto is lovely, quiet and peaceful with little to no foot/boat traffic.

Punti negativi: The pool was dirty on the day of our arrival. It looked cleaner the rest of our stay however had already been put off and never used the pool again. This hotel was very dated compared to the pictures online. We booked this thinking it would be a bit of luxury for our final days of honeymoon and it gave a more budget boutique feel.

Punti positivi: Great private pool, superb Restaurant staff and lovely clean beach. Would highly recommend a holiday here if you’re looking for something off the beaten track.

Punti negativi: Our only issue was the hardness of the bed. Linen etc was of a very high quality however.

Punti positivi: The villa was nice

Punti negativi: Staff spoke almost no English, there wasno atmosphere in the resort/restaurant and there were only2 English speaking tv channels and both of them were world news channels, DVD player broken.

Punti positivi: How quiet and laid back it is.

Punti negativi: Nothing

Punti negativi: Ho pagato la struttura con relativo addebito sul mio conto corrente, all arrivo mi hanno fatto ripagare una seconda volta perché ho pagato con una carta prepagata e non una carta di credito.

Punti positivi: The stay here was a part of our honeymoon and I must say it exceeded my expectations. We had the Private plunge pool villa and it was one of the most romantic places I ever stayed at. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us with our every whim.

Punti negativi: The only thing you should be wary off that the location is a bit isolated especially in the low season so do not expect to find full bars or crowds to hang out with. If you are looking for a romantic get away this is the place to go.

Punti positivi: It has the best beach and sunset I’ve ever seen

Punti negativi: The restaurant food was really awful

Punti positivi: Vicinanza al mare, la colazione le camere,gli spazzolini col dentifricio nel kit

Punti negativi: Doccia un po annerita nelle fughe dal tempo

Punti positivi: Nice pool villa and very friendly staff.

Punti negativi: There is nothing to do around the hotel, no restaurants and no shops.

Punti positivi: On the beach, friendly helpful reception & room service people, large comfy stylish rooms, breakfast included, nice pool, amazing beach, sunloungers, friendly beach dogs, outside resteraunts and all of them had friendly local people, I fell in love with the place and the local people, it's homely here.

Punti negativi: I liked it all really.

Punti positivi: Swimming pool. Beach.staff friendly. Big rooms

Punti negativi: No tv channels in English .

Punti positivi: The staff was very friendly and tried to help wherever they could. The breakfast is a mix of continental/international and Thai food - quiet tasty.

Punti negativi: The air-condition in the room was very loud at night.

Punti positivi: The staff are so friendly and helpful. Hotel is beautiful and the breakfasts amazing. Room and bed very comfortable. Wonderful to be right on the beach ..and a bonus to have the pools.

Punti negativi: We didnt realize the size of the hotel and that it caters to large tour groups. During our stay two large groups took over the beach so we were not able to enjoy as relaxing and peaceful a time as we had hoped. Could you possibly designate a 'relaxing or quiet' area of the beach?

Punti positivi: Very good!

Punti negativi: Taxi booked to ferry was late, 300B - 10 minute journey, 150B value maximum. Nearly missed ferry. Coffee was 100B. Pool was out of service.

Punti positivi: Overall everything. I enjoyed my stay rhere

Punti negativi: A disadvantage is the distance from most places if this annoys someone, however I did not mind as I always enjoyed the scenery.

Punti positivi: Everything! The hotel, the beach, the services e.g we got to hire a kayack from the hotel for free!! The breakfast was amazing and so dilousious. I loved this hotel, we stayed in many during our trip around Thailand and this was one of our favourite.

Punti negativi: Nothing.

Punti positivi: The property is quiet with excellent beach access

Punti negativi: The beach lounges are substandard with most of them broken

Punti positivi: La posizione sul mare e la piscina sempre sul mare

Punti negativi: La camera standard era vintage come tutto l'hotel. Ci siamo rifiutati di restare e ci hanno dato il cottage senza farci pagare la differenza. Era infatti migliore sia nella dimensione che nella posizione (vicino alla piscina), ma altrettanto vintage e con problemi allo scarico. Il personale gentile, ma molto inesperto. Non c 'erano lettini per prendere il sole sufficienti per la clientela e tanti erano rotti.

Punti positivi: The environment

Punti negativi: NA

Punti positivi: Great place. Lovely room and the beach was fine. Staff was friendly and breakfast good:) location was nice and relaxed. A bit touristy but good

Punti negativi: The touristy vibe in the hotel. But i guess thats normal when you book a resort:_)

Punti positivi: Struttura datata, i segni del tempo sono evidenti ma nel complesso risulta dignitosa. Atmosfera di pace molto tranquillo e fuori dal caos di Lamai e Chaweng , le camere sono spaziose e luminose, il letto grande e comodo la pulizia è buona e il personale gentile. Ottima colazione a buffet. Rapporto qualità prezzo soddisfacente.

Punti negativi: Pochi ombrelloni e lettini a disposizione in spiaggia
