Coz its surely a heaven!! Perfect accommodation for honeymoon. For someone who wants a privacy go for sunset beach & choose sawan🥰 The room is spacious with complete amenities. The staffs also very helpful and attentive. In front of the hotel got a private beach that we can swim, kayak and snorkel (provide by hotel). No boats and less people but a bit rocky. Tips for the mosquitoes just wear the mosquitoes repellent. The hotel has lots of stairs so be careful if bringing kids and old folks

Quiet location on lively Lipe”
Sawan resort is located on the quieter North side of Lipe but is in easy reach of all Koh Lipe life has to offer. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and accomodating. Spectacular view from our room, which was clean and comfortable. Inclusive breakfast excellent and food at other times of day freshly cooked and very good. Would highly recommend.

Private and Peaceful”
the place is located on a quite private part of Lipe but the view is breath taking in morning and evening. The room is quite clean and facilities are quite good. Since it is located on a mountain so expect some surprises too :) The facilities in room are good if not best. Friendly and helpful staff.

Stay here and then go to the beach later”
Great place with the benefit of being up top of a hill so you get to see the sea from up above. You can always go to the beach to see it at eye level but not many places you can see from above, which makes this place special.

Exceptional”
Pictures are accurate, loved our stay for the weekend! Comfy bed, great AC, clean, friendly staff who went above and beyond. Kind of steep stairs to the beach/restaurant but its so beautiful we didn't even notice. The restaurant is pretty expensive for what it is, but there's one right down the beach that's better priced. Free kayaks/snorkeling gear/beach towels. Only bummer is the location, you need to call a Tuk Tuk to come pick you up and take you where you want to go on the island, other than Sunset Beach, and the road is a bit rough.

Excellent”
Amazing views! It’s a bit secluded, which is amazing if you want a quiet getaway. But they have a free shuttle service to anywhere on the island, which is very helpful. Beach is easy access. The beachfront rooms are definitely the best views. Don’t settle for less. Restaurant wasn’t open because of post-covid low occupancy. So didn’t try the f&b. Overall, great place to have a quiet getaway. But not if you want to be in the centre of the action or on the beach three steps from your room

So much promise unfulfilled”
Please don't take this the wrong way. Sawan is actually a beautiful resort with a killer view... but (there are quite a few here) many things need to be improved upon to make it worthwhile. 1. the road leading to Sawan is borderline impassable! it's a dirt road that gets flooded and muddy after rain, making the tuktuk struggle to move up and down the incline leading to the resort. 2. It's some distance away from 'civilisation' (town). it'll take around 15 mins by foot (after going thru the mud of course) to reach the main town centre. There are some shops and eateries along the way though. 3. the on-site restaurant is limited and it closes way too early.. ard 6pm (local time) if i'm not mistaken so you'll need to walk out, take a tuktuk to town or hop over to the next door resort's kitchen that closes late ard 930-ish (Thailand still limits eateries to a 10pm closing time at the time of writing) 4. Sawan is still a work in progress with some construction (renovation) still on-going although at my time of visit, there were no workers around to do it, so it was quiet (thank goodness) 5. the (really small) private beach is quite precarious due to the rockiness of the area. Swimming out is a minefield of sharp rocks, big/small corals and the occasional SEA URCHIN!! so you will have to thread with care if you want to swim. 6. The sunset view is actual blocked by massive boulders to the left, so if you want a better view, you'll have to go next door, whose beach is facing the right way! Overall, I paid upwards or RM450/night (ard USD100) but with all the limitations, Sawan, at the moment, is a pass. it has enormous potential, but a lack of professional staff (there were only 3 on duty and they all seem like part-timers, who speak very little English which makes comms quite a challenge) plus the unfinished renovations, and a restaurant that closes too early, makes this place not tourist-friendly to say the least. I hope Sawan fulfils its potential to draw in the crowd bu

AC not working well”
Air Condintioning is not working well until we remind the staff to fix it, then better but not too much cool and cold.

Above average”
Beautiful sea view & friendly staff. Rooms are too basic for my comfort. No telephone, no chair in entire room except for sun chair & stool at balcony. Too many steps up & down, those with weak knees definetly should avoid.

Best Choiece In Koh Lipe”
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.

Relax,Very Nice Resort,Attentive & Friendly staffs”
Stayed in Sawan Resort for 3D2N, room type is Ocean Villa. (1) Icy watermelon juice is served as our welcoming juice, and it really made us feel very refreshing after the long & rough journey to arrive at the island. (2) Reception staffs (Ms. Um and Julie) speak fluently English, where else most of the Thai people on the island doesn't understand English well. (3) All resort staffs we deal with are friendly, very accommodating, helpful and with high efficiency. (4) Resort provides free shuttle to mobile around the island. Resort also ready with snorkeling gears & kayak which is free of charges. Sawan prepared beach tote, beach towels and umbrella for guests with no extra charges. (5) Each resort villa is design to let the guests having own privacy, and ours facing the sea, Attap & wooden villa bring us feeling closer to nature. The only downside we feel is - breakfast is relatively over-simple, limited food choices, portion too little, quality of foods are not on par comparing with other hotels/resorts (sausages, hams, scrambled eggs, toasts, strawberry jams etc). Side note: (1) our thought is the mosquitos issue is unavoidable because the island is mostly surrounded by jungles, other hotels/resorts on the island maybe also facing the same issue. As to relief the annoyance of Mosquitos inside room, Sawan provided 2 mosquito repellents. (2) special thanks to P.Chai for the friendly & attentive help when in need. And we're gratitude also goes to reception staffs Um & Julie for always there for us. We will choose Sawan Resort again when we back to Koh Lipe. We're regret our stays in Sawan was too short.

Beautiful resort with great service”
I've been to a lot of resorts in Thailand and other countries and Sawan resort was the best ocean-side resort that I've ever stayed at. The staff were exceptional. They met me at the dock, provided excellent service throughout my stay. I will definitely stay there again on my next trip to Koh Lipe.

Romantic Hideaway”
We had a wonderful stay at Sawan and would definitely recommend a stay at this gorgeous resort. The villas are large and very comfortable. The view over the sea was breathtaking. Located on Sunset Beach was ideal as no noise from bars and restaurants yet they were only a stroll away. There were many extra little touches that made a difference. A little thought goes a long way. Beach towels and a beach bag for your use were just one of those. The bed was very comfortable and to wake up and look out at the view was magical. All the staff were friendly and went out of their way to ensure our stay was special. Always checking to see if everything was ok. We will return.
