ASARA Private Beach Resort

The staff are nice and very helpful especially the receptionist she is very helpful and responding to all your needs not only the seafood restaurant she recommends but also the sight seeing spots and snorkeling packages which is a more reasonable price compare to other services provider from walking street. I would highly recommend this hotel to my friends and planning to return next year.

Asara is situated on the side of the hill overlooking the sea and with a stunning view of Koh Adang. There is live coral and lively sea life, accessible by snorkeling right off the small beach at the resort. Rooms have soft beds, hot water in the shower and adequate (but not super speedy) wifi. The restaurant is run by a charming, capable chef -- her versions of standard Thai fare (e.g. pahd Thai and green curry) are delicious.

Stunning view!!! Jacuzzi villas lovely.....unfortunately the resort is a little tired, it needs some tlc and maintenance! Breakfast was average & quite difficult to order the basics. The family are lovely however prepare yourself for the free taxi service as it’s very bumpy as the drivers don’t take care to drive slow on the track roads! Sorry but there are far nicer hotels with better service for less money than here!

Very friendly staff, luxury decors (for Lipe island), discrete private beach and beautiful sunset views. We spend a few days of our honeymoon here, very thoughtful setup for us too. :) Albeit hotel is a bit far from the centre, hotel owner provide free taxi, free kayak, free snorkelling kit made up for it!

Although I did not question NO HOT WATER at the beginning of my 5 day / 4 nite stay, it does not deter me saying the family holiday was outstanding at this property. It is remote but transport was instantly available when needed (FOC). The privacy of the beach and the small nbr of units make this a very intermate lodging community (only 12 units) . Multiple sleeping rooms was my requirement and this place is fantastic for families and small groups with 2 and 3 bedroom options. The price may be high as compared with other locations but there is nothing I found online to compare with this property. The staff are very friendly and your property is very SAFE at this place. Breakfast is excellent for my liking. There is a beach-side pool that is private and well kept. My plan was for snorkling and this offered excellent reef straight off the beach. Perfect for what I planned. If you want the best sandy beach, the northen tip near Mountain View is the best but that is public area. Do IT!

The resort is located on the Sunset Beach, which is such a private beach. We can even snorkeling and canoeing in front of our resort. The staffs here are very helpful and have a great service mind. The room itself has a very great ocean view and an impressive outdoor jacuzzi. However, the room we booked is quite worn out, some of the lights in our room have broken yet they don’t have the supplies. I think the resort should manage some maintenance in order to keep the room looks new.

Everything was perfect! This trip was our first time to Lipe. We had a double date, and booked the family suite. Everything was perfect. Although we have no idea why the electricity was cut off everyday at 12pm sharp. They must have their reason. Other than that, PERFECT

A quaint and comfortable resort that doesn't break the bank! Glad that we stayed here from 23 to 26 Feb 2018. Private beach is nice as it doesn't get over crowded. But you get strays who cross the shore and boulders to get there. Taxi is available f.o.c. till 830pm. Just give a call to Bird (hotel owner) for pickup wherever you are. Breakfast menu is limited but is freshly made and of good quality. Staffs are all friendly and polite! Kayak and snorkeling masks are free to use but please take care of them! We got the Jacuzzi room and it's really spacious! Will definitely come back and stay here when we are back in Koh Lipe. Recommended!

Had a great time. Friendly staff, quiet private beach with free snorkelling gear. Wonderful view from suite, loved the jacuzzi on the patio. Would recommend although very expensive

This resort has only 12 units, it is very cozy, quiet qnd privilege. Love the breakfast, service and staff. Great location to watch sunset and room very spacious. Love it and will go back again!

What can l say it has it all

We were spent our quality time with nice, relax & peace in ASARA Private Beach Resort. This place is worth every single buck you spend here. It's real private in secret harbour which you can find on Koh Lipe. Facilities are all good, Foods are beautiful & So does Great Services which you're looking for. We absolutely enjoyed & loved this place. Hope we'll visit there for our next vacation again then.

This is a hotel with very nice view and friendly hotel staffs. The location is 15 minutes walk from the walking street but then they provide free taxi service so it is fine. Quiet but convenient at the same time. They also provide kayak, which is great with the nice strip of sand in front. The breakfast is the best ever I had in the entire South East Asia. Must try the Thai Pancake, Thai fried rice and congee for breakfast. Will stay for a much longer time next time if I am to visit.

The staff are super attentive. Location is quiet but there is free taxi service by the resort. This island is small so quite ok if you intend to walk. About 5 mins to walking street. The beach is private and quiet. Not as noisy as Pattaya. But my favourite is Sunrise beach. But this resort has excellent breakfast and awesome rooms. We enjoyed our stay a lot. They helped us arranged for the snorkeling as well. Prices are pretty standard on the island so going through the resort is the same.

Nice view and jacuzzi in the room, there are 2 rooms even we are just 2 staying, one is for relax and watching tv, one is for sleeping. Staffs are friendly and resort provided transport service to the street.

Asara is a beautiful resort in a wonderful location away from the hustle and bustle of Walking Street. The rooms are huge, beautifully laid out and comfortably furnished with big balconies and outdoor jacuzzi baths. As there are only 12 rooms it stays peaceful. Water pressure is not amazing and if you want some hot water in the bath it takes a while to fill but it is definitely worth it! Breakfast is served on a lovely little verandah and you choose as much as you want from a range of options (waffles, toast, eggs, bacon, sausages, fried rice, yoghurt & museli and fresh fruit). It's the same every day but it's yummy. There is a free shuttle service to wherever you want to go on the island and they will pick you up again but you have to be able to call - if you don't have a working phone then ask in any restaurant or cafe and I am sure they will call for you, people are very friendly and helpful in Koh Lipe. I would not hesitate to recommend this fabulous boutique resort!

It is a very pleasant stay indeed. Like many others already mentioned in their comments, the staff and the service at Asara is among the best I’ve ever seen. Me and my girlfriend had one big problem we just realized before we landed in Hat Yai, that since our flight was landing at 1:40pm, we may not be able to make it to Koh Lipe on the same day because the last ferry sets sails at 3:30. We contact the resort about the problem, and the staff tried really hard to get us in touch with a very reliable travel agency to book a private taxi from the airport to the pier and also the ferry tickets. We were very lucky to make it to the island in the afternoon, and not waste our first night’s reservation, because of the help from the resort. The resort is not big, but very well located by the sunset beach, where you can watch the sun going down from the pool every day(also from your balcony). The honeymoon suite we are staying at is quite spacious and tidy, it comes with jacuzzi too but we didn’t use it and went kayaking in the evening instead. The breakfast is good and you get a taste of fusion foods, the spicy pork fried rice is awesome. The only thing I’d complain is Asara is on the far side of the island from the walking street, which means you need to commute if you want to have some night life. But hey! Asara has got free taxi service as well! I’d like to take this chance to thank the staff at Asara. We really enjoyed our stay and we’ll make sure to come back again.

Nothing to complain for the room / staff service. But for snorkeling, better to notify the customer to bring the island entree ticket. As we do not bring the ticket, we could not land some island hopping location.

This small resort is new on the island that not many people know where it is. It's nested on the peaceful corner of Sunset beach with only a handful of rooms so it's quite a private and quiet lovely place. The room was spacious and clean. The obvious highlight was that magnificent sunset view looking over the Jabang channel and all other national park islands. Their service from everyone at the resort was really great. We were looked after well and they went extra miles in everything to make our stay as best possible. The free ride to town made getting around pretty easy and was worth it alone as it saved us the taxi cost of 50 baht per person per ride. The beach wasn't sandy with a lot of rocks but offered great viewing landscape. All in all, highly recommended and it's probably the reason why we would come back to Lipe again.

Rooms are extremely huge and comfortable (as long as it is cooled down with airconditioning, the glassy nature of the room makes it hot at initial entry). The magical surreal feeling when waking up in the morning in the room is irreplicable. Rooms also come with a huge balcony and outdoors jacuzzi, don't miss using it (in the night when it is less hot). Owners/staff are very friendly and strive to make the stay comfortable, minor kinks aside. Complimentary transport to town and complimentary canoes are pretty good! Beach is not the best, but its nice and private and the pool area is nice too!
