"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 were so helpful in the reception - especially the lovely man who gave us towels every morning. The pool was gorgeous with a few sun loungers round the edge and was never busy - although we never actually used it as we were so busy seeing the island everyday! We had breakfast included and the restaurant area is located looking right over Ton Sai Bay - stunning views every morning, we had to pinch ourselves! The food was fine - pancakes, fruit, cooked breakfast, cereal, yoghurt etc and a member of staff made omelettes and eggs to order. However for the price we payed, we were perhaps expecting slightly more but we really couldn't complain! The restaurant area is the Ton Sai Seafood restaurant in the evening and the hotel give you a discount voucher if you wish to eat there one evening. We did and the food was delicious! Over all an amazing stay, perfect for familys/couples. If we returned here when travelling again we would however stay elsewhere - simply to save money as you spend so little time in your hotel/guesthouse you really dont need to pay much to experience the wonders of Phi Phi.

"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 matter because almost nobody uses that. As for me I have stayed in this hotel twice, with a total of seven days and seen people in the pool just once. I think it is better to take a swim at the numerous beaches everywhere around."

"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 to harbour. If you looking for quality accommodation for short time 2-4 days I would certainly recommend 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 door goes on until 3 am. I personally enjoyed the music and when I wanted to sleep, I fell asleep just find. But if you are a light sleeper, beware. I wasn't a big fan of the bathrooms. There are not enough places to put your clean clothes and the clothes you want to change out of and your towels and sanitary products. They're not comfortable designed, is what I'm saying. The staff is helpful and patient. Well, at least the one staff member with whom I interfaced was. And she is assiduous with reminders for those who booked trips or tours. Overall, very happy to have booked here."

Many local tour operators provide full-day excursions that take you to some of the most beautiful islands in the region. Popular destinations include Bamboo Island, known for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, and Mosquito Island, which offers fantastic snorkeling opportunities. These tours often include stops for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the unique landscapes that each island has to offer.

For those looking for a more personalized experience, renting a long-tail boat for the day allows you to create your own itinerary. You can choose which islands to visit, how long to stay, and even pack a picnic to enjoy on a secluded beach. This flexibility makes for a memorable day of exploration, as you can discover hidden coves and untouched beaches that are off the beaten path.

Island hopping is not just about the destinations; it's also about the journey. The boat rides offer breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea, with towering limestone cliffs and lush vegetation framing the horizon. Whether you're on a guided tour or exploring independently, island hopping from Ton Sai Bay is an adventure that adds an extra layer of excitement to your trip.
