That We've Reviewed

If you're coming to Phi Phi to wake up to the sea and a coral reef right off your room, not to party, Paradise Pearl Bungalows is the name reviews mention most, and here's why it scores 8.9, the highest on this list — on Phi Phi the stays people love most are laid-back beachfront bungalows that match the island's rhythm, not big expensive resorts · these are Thai-style wooden bungalows right on Long Beach, a few steps from the sand, facing a coral reef you can walk down and snorkel from the beach, starting around ฿1,500/night · it suits couples and snorkellers who want the quiet · the honest caveats: the cheaper garden-block rooms are fairly old, so if you want the real beachfront feel you have to move up to a Beachfront Bungalow.

Viking Nature Resort is the stay for people who want to escape the bustle of Tonsai village but still want clear water to snorkel in · it's a resort of wooden bungalows and treehouses built by hand, each decorated differently, set on Loh Moo Dee Beach, a small near-private beach on the east side of Koh Phi Phi Don, tucked into the trees with a sea view, where you can walk down to the beach and snorkel over coral right away · it scores 8.9 from a large base of 4,141 reviews and starts at just around ฿1,000/night, the best value on the list · it suits budget nature lovers who don't mind skipping luxe comforts · the honest caveats: the bungalows are fan-cooled with no air-con, and the raw rustic style isn't for anyone wanting a slick modern room.

SAii Phi Phi Island Village is the most luxurious option on the list and the destination for honeymooners who want Koh Phi Phi in its calm, private version · this 5-star resort sits on a private beach around 800 metres long on Loh Bagao Bay, on the northeast side of Koh Phi Phi Don, reached by resort boat only, so it's completely cut off from the Tonsai–Loh Dalum party · Thai-style bungalows are scattered through a coconut grove, with a Hillside Pool Villa complete with a private pool, 2 large pools, a spa and a PADI dive centre, starting around ฿6,000/night with a score of 8.6 · the honest caveats: it's the highest price on the list, and because it's far from the village, going out to other spots depends on the scheduled resort boat.

Phi Phi The Beach Resort suits people coming to Phi Phi for clear water and quiet, not the beachfront party on the Tonsai side · this is a resort of villas climbing a hillside above Long Beach, every one facing the Andaman Sea, looking across to Koh Phi Phi Leh and the Maya Bay ridge in the distance · the real selling point is the clear-water private beach you can walk down and snorkel over coral from right out front, some days spotting shoals of fish and small blacktip reef sharks, starting around ฿2,000/night with a score of 8.5 from 3,263 reviews · it suits couples and sea lovers who like an open view · the honest caveats: the villas are on the hillside with a fair few steps to climb, and the Superior rooms have a garden/hillside view rather than a full sea view, so you have to move up to a Sea View.

Phi Phi Holiday Resort (formerly Holiday Inn Resort Phi Phi Island) is the best family option on the list, for people who want to bring the kids to Phi Phi without running into party noise all night · it sits on Laem Tong Beach, at the far northeast tip of Koh Phi Phi Don, one of the quietest white-sand beaches on the island · it's a 4-star, 162-room family resort with 4 swimming pools including 2 infinity pools and a kids' pool, a Kids Club and a PADI dive centre, starting around ฿3,000/night with a score of 8.2 from 2,178 reviews · the honest caveats: it's far from the village so you rely on the resort boat, and the entry-price Garden Bungalow doesn't get a sea view, so you have to move up to the Coral/Beachfront zone.

PP Princess Resort suits people who want a stay on Phi Phi where you step off the room straight onto white sand, but can still drag your own bag from the pier without a boat transfer · it's a 4-star beachfront resort in the middle of Loh Dalum Bay, about a 5 min walk (~300 metres) from Tonsai Pier, with 67 rooms and 2 swimming pools, one with a swim-up bar looking out at the beach — many reviews say the beach view here is the prettiest in the bay — starting around ฿4,200/night with a score of 7.7 · it suits people who want both a pretty beach and the convenience of being near the village · the honest caveats: Loh Dalum is a lively zone with noise from the bars around the bay at night, and the price is fairly high relative to the score.

Phi Phi Bayview & Premier Resort (formerly Arayaburi Resort) suits people who want to wake up to the Andaman Sea and limestone cliffs from their balcony, but don't want to sleep amid the party noise at Loh Dalum · it sits on the hillside above Laem Hin Beach, on the east side of Tonsai Bay, split into 2 wings, Bayview and Premier, its selling point the private balconies looking out at the bay and the cliffs, plus a free shuttle boat from the pier, starting around ฿1,300/night · to put it straight, per the reviews, the score is 7.0 — this is a great-value sea-view option, not a luxury resort, suiting people who value the view and price over full comfort · the honest caveats: it's on the hillside with steps to climb, and the Superior rooms are fairly basic, some starting to age.

Anyone who's landed on Phi Phi knows the biggest headache is dragging your bag onto a longtail out to your stay, and this is where Phi Phi Island Cabana Hotel has a clear advantage — it's the best location on the list · it's a 3-star, 154-room resort on the isthmus separating Tonsai Bay from Loh Dalum Bay, about a 2 min walk (~100–200 metres) from Tonsai Pier — step off the boat and drag your bag straight there, no transfer · the main selling point is a large outdoor swimming pool looking out towards Loh Dalum Bay and the limestone cliffs, starting around ฿1,900/night · to put it straight, per the reviews, the score is 6.7, the lowest on the list — this place mainly sells its location and the pool view, while the rooms are basic and some are starting to age · it suits people who value a location in the heart of the village over a slick room.
