Sawan Resort

Spent 3 nights at this place. I wouldn’t call this place a resort as it doesn’t have much of anything, just 5 villas and a small restaurant with a limited menu. On the first day we turned up we were given a villa, which was not the one we booked. We were told the one we booked would be available the next day but the next day came and was told they were overbooked and the villa was now no longer available. No refund on the price difference, just a free dinner for that night. The Villa is very old, the tv would not work on the first night and during the second and last night the electricity kept cutting out, which made things inconvenient. The “resort” does have an excellent view of sunset beach and good staff who are very friendly and would try to help as much as they can but due to poor management, overbookings, lack of facilities we will not be staying at this place again when we go back to Lipe. For the price paid there are better choices on the island.

so dark at night. suggest to put more landscape lighting. very comfort to stay. extraordinary view and good for relax.

need more lighting, abit too dark in the washroom and walk way. staff were super helpful and friendly.

Lovely and very authentic wood-made bungalows in a lovely place with a very nice quiet small privat beach, but with no facility (no swiming pool, no restaurant, almost no staff). Perfect for nature, authenticity and calm lovers!

room old

Besides a buch of mosquito and a snack and bird nets on the roof there is No restaurant available. No water activity available even the beach activity such as beach chair and kayak are available. Hotel guest need to take taxi and eat n drinks drinks out. Despite the hotel keeper which is young nice but seems to be lack of experience on hitel manangement. We definitely tell friends that dont believe on the website photo. Big mistake to stay at this place.

Had 2 nights at the resort. Love the place and how quiet and tranquil it is. Staffs are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend to couples. Have to take taxi (50 baht per person) though u can walk but will take quite some time. Overall we had a nice time and will definitely stay in the same resort if we were to return to Koh Lipe

Very nice view, especially in the evening as it's on the sunset part of the island. You get to use the private beach to yourself since there're hardly anybody else on this secluded part of the island, but it's advisable to wear water shoes as it's a rocky beach. Service is impeccable, nice staff around, I was provided with a handphone that I can call to request for pick-up back to hotel from walking street, this service is provided foc. Breakfast is nice with a decent selection from the menu, some titbits in room are provided foc as well. Only setback is that it's quite far from walking street.

Our mini honeymoon was made unforgettable with the wonderful service and unbeatable sea views at Sawan. Insects aplenty no doubt due to the rustic surroundings, but that was just a mere stain on this wonderful holiday. Was a little pricey but for the privacy and surroundings i think it may be worth it.

to sum up: simply great! its a bit further away from the walking street but the hotel has a taxi service for free. (also pick up) the rest is very good. great room, private beach! only 5 rooms what i thought is nice! and also an extra adventure are the exotic insects and animals you`ll meet. :) but hey...we are in their area. :)

The beach area (which is much smaller than on the photos) was under construction, bar and deck not useable, only two old dirty chairs to lay on. all the green between the bungalows was cut off and therefore there was only a muddy hill view visible, beside the way down to the beach they dumped all the cut down plants which resulted in a not too nice view of rotten vegetation. The construction on the beach bar facilities meant the whole day loud noise. the pictures on the website do not reflect how the resort is in shape currently, we assume it is linked to the new local management. When we moved out they were somehow upset I assume, so they let me carry all the luggage alone although demanding the full three nights payment. All in all not very professional which is sad since there is big potential for the place.

Me and my bf we were just overly satisfied about everything the resort staff have ever done for us. The service is undoubtedly the best thing we have to mention. We had troubles to buy tickets from Lipe to Krabi due to a off-season situation but soon we found problems solved by thoughtful staff and the lovely girl from the reception. Everything was perfectly settled. Besides, things I love most about the resort would be its location and food. The sunset beach is rated as the worst beach on the island when compared with pattaya and sunrise beach but we just hold the opposite opinions. This beach is way quieter and more private to have an intimate stay with your partner and the sunset there you can see is just killing it. Having meals on the cliff and enjoying a massage at their massage centre are highly recommended. During our stay, Natalia, the cute dog adopted by the resort staff came over for several times which brought us lots of fun. I guess Sawan is just the best you can have in Koh Lipe.

I just love this resort. the best in koh lipe. the view was so beautiful.

- The view from our room is exceptional. - The staffs are very helpful. - The water is crystal clear. Only few steps from the beach in front of the hotel.

It was ok, a bit of challanges with all the stairs

We had a lovely stay. Highly recommended.

This place is unreal, it's gotta be paradise. The view from our room was breathtaking and service was impeccable right from check-in to check-out. Natalie their resident dog is the sweetest and most gentle dog ever. She entered our room during our lunch and just sat with us in the balcony, enjoy the view (and food of course). We love everything about Sawan and will definitely be back again soon. We just hope this place stays as idyllic.

Very relaxing experience! We swam and snorkelled from the private beach everyday. The view is amazing and the rooms are beautiful.
