Amazing from beginning to the end. The housemaid was so important. She went the extra mile folding my clothes an organizing all my belongings. I highly recommended this place to any tourist visiting the Phi Phi islands. The locals in the area were super nice and helpful. Food was wonderful. Overall the experience at this resort was one to remember. I will be booking again on my next trip.

Relaxing pace of holiday and superb customer service. Option of 3 beautiful beaches to use. Smaller village with the friendliest people.

Lovely place. Staff really helpful and friendly. Detached bungalow, clean, good amenities, a little dated but excellent value for money. Close to lovely beach and quaint little town. Very relaxing and chilled stay here. Would definitely return.

I want to say that the staff was great. Housekeeping was amazing and friendly. If you needed anything, they took care of it right away. I loved the cabin experience. The island is small so you do not have people like in the bigger islands bothering you to buy stuff constantly. The food was great and there is a bar where a 22 young boy owned, he was so sweet and wanted to conversate. His bar was cool with the music and it had great decorations.
The only con to this resort, is that the cabins need updating. I couldn’t close the bathroom door, the flooring was loose and the bed is really hard to sleep on.

This was a very nice place to stay because the staff helped us catch a longtail boat at 5am to Ton Sai pier so that we could do a sunrise excursion to Maya Bay.

Stayed at BaKao bay, Phi Phi. Excellent villas with outdoor seating on patio or sliding door to outdoor patio. Great as well there’s ac in the villas too. Only thing they could have had better beds. Mattress is rock hard but we survived. There’s lots of options for excursions around the islands too, shopping you will find more in Tonsai bay/beach. Close to 2 different beaches but the best beach is about 20 min walking distance, or 100thb for tuktuk.
The best beach is by Phi Phi Hotel resort.
But you will find several spots on the way walking over as well. However if you’re looking for the white powdered no rocks beach, then keep walking to Phi Phi hotel resort beach front.
There is also some shops further down that beach. You have lots of scenic views and trails to walk as well if you want to explore this side of Phi Phi too. Just make sure to wear good sneakers/hiking shoes.
This side of Phi Phi is definitely more relaxed and less touristy than Tonsai bay/beach.
I was here before the tsunami when Phi Phi still was less crowded and there was no McDonalds or anything like that. I stayed 1 night in Tonsai and was glad I left for BaKao bay side.
Unless you’re in your 20s and want the crowd and party life then stay in Tonsai. It’s so exploited now and not at all what it used to be.
My recommendation is BaKao bay side, any hotel/resort depending on budget.
BaKao bay hotel with villas was great price on Expedia. The staff is super friendly and helpful.
Pool and laundry too.

The staff were so friendly, and they send a longboat to pick you up and drop you off from the pier - free of charge + help with your bags. It was super helpful. Arrange in advance.

The chalet was clean and the aircon worked great. I preferred the larger one, as the smaller one had the aircon situated right by the bed, so it was always blowing on your face if you don’t adjust the position of the vent with your hand. Since it’s turned off when you leave, I would always forget to adjust it until I got in bed and had to get up to move it from my face.

There is a lovely beach nearby that’s breathtaking. Taking a private boat to Monkey Bay, Maya Bay, and Bamboo was amazing. I didn’t want to be with tons of people, so I went the private route. It was awesome.

This part of Phi Phi is much more chill and laid back. It’s small and everything closes early. If this vibe is what you’re after - it’s amazing. If you’re looking for crazy parties, this isn’t the place for you. I would 100% go back.

Note: the call for prayers can wake you up at sunrise, and it’s very close to the hotel. If you’re a light sleeper, it might wake you up. It didn’t bother me.

Budget accommodations quietly situated within the Thai village. The proprietor is kind and helpful. Lots of easy walks to good food and beaches.

We stayed for 2 nights and had a nice time. The price was right and the room was comfortable. This was the most affordable place to stay in the Ba Koa Bay area, so if you want a 5 star resort, this is not the spot for you. But if you need a decent, cute resort with good customer service and walking distance to restaurants, bars, and the beach, I would recommend it! I would stay here again

We had an amazing stay here. The staff were so helpful and friendly and the local area is beautiful with some great beaches, restaurants and bars. It’s the quieter side of the island but still a great atmosphere! The manager Aladdin was fantastic and so attentive to any query.

Un mini séjour d’une nuit pour pouvoir explorer l’île côté est et Nord car je loge à Tonsai. Bonne étape pour vivre autre chose ds un bungalow propre avec air conditionné et frigo. Le lit est un peu dur tout de même donc je ne conseille pas pour un long séjour car vous risquez d’avoir mal au dos

Die Lage am Ba Kao Bay war sehr gut, eine ruhigere Ecke auf Koh Phi Phi und auch das personal war sehr freundlich. Leider war unser Bungalow sehr heruntergekommen. Vor allem das Badezimmer war schlecht ausgestattet, die Toilette war nicht dicht - somit ist das Abwasser nach jeder Spülung ausgelaufen. Es war viel Ungeziefer im Bad und dementsprechend auch sehr viele Spinnenweben.
Wir haben aufgrund des erschwinglichen Preises nicht besonders viel erwartet, aber fehlende Sauberkeit hat den Aufenthalt leider extrem unangenehm gemacht.

If you're going to Phi phi and want to get away from the madness and masses of people then this is the place to go. Beautiful little village with everything you need
