Zeavola Resort

The whole team is lovely with great food - my wife and I were just going to relax for two weeks however we decided to take the PADI diving open water certification. The PADI dive team at Zeavola are very good - especially our instructor Emil - patient, encouraging and professional - stunning dive sites - and Angy who puts together a great dive package - we did a further 6 dives post certification and wish we had time for more this is a great resort if you want quiet seclusion with the most amazing beach - we will definitely return Read less

Zeavola came recommended to us from friends who have been a few times and I’m hesitant to share this secret with you as want to keep it to us but something this special is meant to be shared. We are on our final 2 nights out of 6 in total staying in Villa 51 with a beautiful beachfront view. The room is spacious with a great inside / outside vibe. Amazing aircon, soft and cosy bed, lovely shower and bathroom. The housekeeping staff have done a wonderful job at looking after us even leaving little gifts during turndown service. Nothing beats going to sleep with the sound of the waves crashing and waking up to the crisp golden sunrise. The food at Zeavola is top quality and everything tastes really fresh. The local Thai dishes are some of the best I’ve ever had and I also enjoyed the seafood special. Oh and the ice cream I ordered came out as a special sundae! The serving staff are so friendly and helpful and explain all the options and choices. Breakfast service offers a wide array of choices on the buffet and also menu options if you can’t decide. I’m fussy about coffee and Zeavola scores well here too with a lovely filter coffee and excellent iced coffee also. The spa is is up high in the resort and well appointed and had a luxurious feeling. We had multiple treatments all of great quality and value (vs London prices). Now the star attraction THE BEACH. This is a thing of natural beauty. Warm crystal clear water. Endless sunshine, plenty of seating types, beach cushions and shade for those who want it. The Zeavola staff and service continues here also with servers on hand to serve you food and drink on the beach, they also come round frequently with cold towels and fruit shots to keep you cool and hydrated - the kind of extra magic that gives Zeavola five stars. If you’ve read other reviews you’ll hear talk of Mosquitos. Yes they are here but that’s nature for you but the hotel goes to good lengths to help you with sprays, fumigation, candles and zappers in rooms. Bring your own spray and use the zapper before bed and you’ll be fine! I’m in love with Zeavola and it’s a place I want to return to despite the almost 24 hour commute to get here the hotel and it’s staff have captured my heart. Well done Zeavola! Read less

Zeavola is one of only two 5 star hotels on Ko Phi Phi and definetly worth a trip. We were staying three nights, with both-way shuttle service and half board. Pro: - Extraordinary housekeeping - Delicious food - Friendly and attentive staff - Beautiful Beach - Fair prices for treatments, trips and drinks - Green Pearl - Animal friendly Con: - The other hotels close by The Zeavola consists of ca. 50 cottages which give you the feeling of living directly in the Jungle. We chose one in the middle of the resort which turned out to be just perfect. The cottage itself consists of a closed and air-conditioned sleeping room and an open porch with recliners, comfortable armchairs, an open shower and a dressing table. The bathroom is a separated, closed room. If there would not be other hotels close by you would feel like on a lonely island. It was fantastic to just sit on the porch have a drink an enjoy the view. Due to the construction of the building a cool breeze makes it really comfortable even without ac. You have to be aware that you are staying in the forest which means that there are some moskitos and other animals around but it s kept under control - but seemingly not by spraying toxins. Housekeeping did a great job - every time we went out and put the flag out the room was done or turn down was proceeded - excellent! Restaurant operations could be improved but that s only if you are looking for something to complain. The shuttle service worked smoothly. We were picked up at the airport, the speed boat dropped us directly on the beach in front of the hotel, picked us up again and we were dropped at our follow up hotel in Phuket. The food was great and half board was really worth it (in another 5 star hotel in Phuket they had a limited menu for half board customers which left the bitter taste of being tricked) Summed up I can highly recommend the Zeavola and I am sure that we will stay there again.
