Where to stay in Ton Sai Bay
Ton Sai Bay hotels & accommodations

The hotel location is very good:10min walk to center , quiet, good view specially from the pool, and excellent rooms. The furniture is very nice, contemporary and the 3 floor rooms are a must ( direct pool access stunning view to the bay) it's our 3rd time in the island, and this was the best room and hotel. The personnel are very friendly and professional. The hotel i...

Located right on the beach (but most rooms are not sea view rooms). Overlooking breathtaking view of Andaman sea, beach and cliffs from the restaurant. Beach is not suitable for swimming due to parking of boats. Fifteen minutes walk from Ton Sai Pier. One person from hotel was there to receive guests and carry the luggage to the hotel. Same facility provided during che...

This place exceeded expectations 100 fold. The room we were given was huge, at least 600 square feet complete with a small patio and glass encased standing shower. Bath robes were provided and the in room refrigerator mini bar had Chang stocked for just slightly above mainland prices. Wi-fi was fast and reliable, A/C unit worked to perfection and the shower deliver...

We had the most amazing week staying here in Phi Phi. The hotel is just 2 minutes from the pier and easily found. The room was beautiful and always kept very clean with a nice balcony overlooking the gardens and pool. We got free big golf umbrellas to use during our stay (we were so excited having been drenched many times during our time in Thailand ha!) The staff wer...

I did not arrange for pick-up and arrived at the Phi Phi Pier on a heavily rainy day. I called Paradise Pearl several times but the mobile signal is really poor on the island. I waited for about 10 minutes and finally found the hotel long tail boat. I was first assigned a first-floor room but the restroom door was jammed. Called the reception and they switched a second...

Hotel is situated at the center of the isthmus, therfore closer to piers and Ton Sai Bay at one side and Loh Dalam Bay at another side. There are many restaurants and markets around it. Also you can find a big choice of different dive and snorkel tour offices. The small swimming pool is poor and not good located between lobby entrance and restaurant. But it does not m...

The hotel is very close to the pier (400meters/2-3mins walk). Its has a very nice pool and swimming up rooms to choose from. Its probably one of the best hotels in the island. Reception staff was very understanding and allow us to check out at 12:00 instead of 11 for no extra charge. Hotel is fairly small but also quiet considering is directly on the beach and so close...

Free long-tail boat transfer from Ton Sai Pier to the resort (located a bit off the main bay where the ferries arrive). Hotel's small beach faces the smaller island to the South. All tourist/tours info and bookings are available at the resort (although in town it's probably easier to find better bargains). We rented the superior room and really believe it was worth it....

We stayed 4 nights at PP Palm Tree and had a lovely trip to Phi Phi. We got a room near the pool and we are very satisfied with the room, the breakfast and the location. It is very central but it takes just a couple of minutes to go to either Ton Sai Bay (the pier) or to Lohdalam Beach. We took a long tail boat to Long Beach for 100 Baht each every day which looks like...

Gorgeous big room, great aircon, fantastic location (right in the centre of Ton Sai - near loads of bars, restaurants, the beaches, etc. - and yet still manages to be quiet). Unfortunately there was some nearby construction work which was pretty noisy, but there's nothing the hotel could have done about that. Also, we paid a few pounds extra for a room with pool access...

I recommend staying in a hotel on Ton Sai Bay as this is quieter at night, you have easy access to the beach, and you can easily walk to wherever it is you are trying to go! My friends and I stayed at Mama Beach Residence on Ton Sai Bay and it was an excellent, more budget friendly option. One concern that I had prior to my trip was many reviews for lots of hotels said...

An excellent place to stay, very reasonably priced, and the rooms a good size and very clean. A short walk to Ton Sai pier, and very conveniently situated to Loh Dalum beach, where the swimming, kayaking and night life is the best. Not as busy with all the boats at Ton Sai. Also close to the shops, massage ad diving places. Highly recommended

The resort is aptly located in South of Phi phi. its away from partying streets and nightlife, so you can have a good sleep without disturbance. The walk to town (to most eateries/clubs) is just 10-15 mins. The views are great , the food at the beachfront restaurant is great, and its a very family friendly place. The rooms can be a little walk up the hill, but that sho...

this is one of the nicest hotels in ton sai bay and around, according to what we saw. there are some other nice ones. the bungalow was nice, and they added a bed for a friend of ours who decided to join us at the last minute for only 20 usd a night, breakfast included. the breakfast was very nice, in a very nice breakfast room. very pleasant in general, the pool is...

Nice and quiet if that's what you want. But maybe about a 10minjte walk to party areas and ton sai beach. Clean and modern place with a nice pool, no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. And a short walk to the phi phi view point. A couple restaurants close by, but about a 5 minute walk to much more restaurants. I'd stay here again when I'm old, but I'd...

we came here and it says it's a 4 star hotel. this place is barely 1.5 star place. Reception was beyond rude, the pool was green with algae. I went dow to reception to complain about the pool because my children wanted to swim there. When I went there they pretended not to understand me. On top of that, after I complained they cut off our access to wifi. I hope this p...

comfortable, nice design, the room is clean, and the staff is friendly ... this is our 2nd visit to this hotel ... great location, in the middle of every where, not far from ton sai bay pier ... right next to the hotel there are 2 minimart ... just is a bit costly, but for the island standard, this price is okay ...

The reason why i chose this hotel was because it carries its neat concept of 'White' unlike dull-looking and dark rooms of other hotels in the corner. Me being a 1st time traveler to Phi Phi Island, it was little difficult to find the hotel especially as there are 2 White hotel (White 1, White 2) and people telling me different direction. But it's at good location wh...

The resort is located at a very scenic location on the side of the beach, just about 1 km from the market. Rooms are little up the hill but the free pickup drop to/from the rooms is a great convenience. Reception as well other staff were very cooperative. They provided us free pickup from the Ferry location and also provided us the drop during return. Infact we had to ...

We stayed 4 nights in March 2012. We were pleasantly surprised that when we got off the boat at the Ton Sai pier there was a member of staff to pick us up and carried all our rucksacks and stuff to the hotel, that was very helpful that we did not have to wander around with heavy baggage looking for the place. The houses are in a very good location, close to everything ...

Our stay was wonderful. The front desk lady was more than accommodating. She moved us into a bungalow without a problem on our second night as that is what we were under the impression that we booked. The beds were clean and comfortable, one of the best we had so far in our travels. The location was a little far if you want to be in the hustle and bustle but for us it ...

This was the cheapest place I could find in Phi Phi. It was really nice. One could say that there are too many beds in the room, but the curtains are partitions make it seem less crowded and the way the sunlight drifts in through the windows makes it feel cozy. If you are bothered by music, you probably shouldn't stay at this place. Because at night, the bar next doo...
Cheap places to stay in Ton Sai Bay

ideal hotel/guest house for those who needs a room to sleep in only. air-conditioned and showers with heater but no tv. wifi is useful for those with iphones/ipads to surf after a tiring day of adventure. you're in the center of the city so it's walking distance to anywhere in ton sai bay. if you're a traveler who dives, rock climbing, kayak, snorkel, party at the end ...

I booked for 1 night and ended up staying 4. It's a very clean dorm accessible from the street. It's the newest hostel in Phi Phi with it's large beds (larger than others I've seen). I think they made some changes after the previous reviews because the toilets/showers are very new and super clean. Staff cleans the bedroom 2x a day and the toilets at least 3x. Only 14 b...

We were a group of 8 people, 5 adults and 3 small children, staying at The Banthai and we really liked it. Miss Lee made us feel very welcome and was really nice, just as the rest of the staff. It's a simple budgethotel, but it's good value for the money :)

we had the best stay at the inn. we found every other hotel was blasted with music and you can not sleep but the phi phi inn was quiet and the closest to the action you can get without having to walk up the hill to the mosquito fill villas. was affordable and clean and the staff where amazingly friendly. was the best place to stay for sure as had other friends staying ...

I would stay in this hotel again. Check in was a breeze. Room is clean and newly renovated. Rooms are cleaned every day. Very close to the bars and clubs. Located in the part of town that is not very noisy. There is a supermarket beside the hotel and also a food market. Very convenient location. Five minute walk to the Ton Sai Bay pier.

Free long-tail boat transfer from Ton Sai Pier to the resort (located a bit off the main bay where the ferries arrive). Hotel's small beach faces the smaller island to the South. All tourist/tours info and bookings are available at the resort (although in town it's probably easier to find better bargains). We rented the superior room and really believe it was worth it....

we booked two twin rooms for our stay on Phi Phi before we read the reviews which were not good. However, we didn't cancel and stated at the hotel for 10 days. The hotel is simple but ok. The main complaint is that the rooms need decorating badly and first impressions were not good. However, the beds were spotless as were the rooms in general. I was in room number 2 ...

Very basic room but for the price you can’t beat it. We originally booked 3 nights but added an extra night. It has a bed, toilet’ shower and it’s clean which is all we needed as we were out all day everyday. The staff are so nice and left us clean towels everyday along with bottles of water and toilet paper (which is rare in Asia). Location is good. Phi Phi is very ...

This place was perfect! Low cost and views of the bay in the distance. Clean rooms and the staff was friendly as well. We liked the location because it was a little way from the beach but let us sleep in peace and quite. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk but well worth it! Great wifi, cold A/C, little mini mart right at the hotel. We looked around a lot and this def...

We stayed in the hotel for two nights. It was a wonderful experience. The hotel is within 5 min walk from Ton Sai Bay where the ferry from Phuket parks. There are many stalls in front of the hotel where you can have some local food. As for the room, it is very clean and functional. No extra deco but very comfortable. The lady owner was very kind to help us call our fri...

We found it really hard to find accommodation in Phi Phi and this is the cheapest option for a couple sharing we could find. There are lots of reviews say 'could find better for same price' we searched high and low and couldn't - even the hostels were more expensive for two people. We were worried about booking this place as there were many negative reviews. If you are...
