The hotel

Surrounded by lush vegetation, the Saii Phi Phi Island Village is located on a secluded beach along Loh Ba Gao Bay. The traditional-style bungalows with thatched roofs are scattered amongst the 70-acres of tropical gardens, some boasting a sublime sea view. Indulge yourself in the open-air Api Restaurant, which specialises in Thai and International cuisine in a variety of styles and the day starts with the generous buffet breakfast overlooking the beach. At sunset, enjoy the zinging cocktails at The Beach Grill & Chill. For a special romantic dinner, the Ruan Thai Restaurant up on the hillside offers Thai specialities on its candlelit terrace overlooking the 1000 sq m infinity pool and bay. There is a rejuvenating spa and for the more active, there is plenty to do with water sports, a 5-star PADI diving centre and excursions to Maya Bay and the neighbouring islands.

Service was great and we had a very relaxing time. Special shout out to Tanya for going the extra mile to make arrangements and ensuring everyone is comfortable. Everything from lazy pools to spas. With great views and restaurants. Great visit!

I’m not sure this is a five star hotel. I’m a little in two minds because there are strong positives and strong negatives Service: Very good smiling and responsive service from the staff in general, however nobody really cares about you here or knows who you are.

I’m not sure this is a five star hotel. I’m a little in two minds because there are strong positives and strong negatives Service: Very good smiling and responsive service from the staff in general, however nobody really cares about you here or knows who you are. Ambiance: The hotel is operated like a sort of 3 star hotel/village. Hotel shop sells really cheap typically touristic souvenirs as well as snacks, cheap clothes beer etc.. Restaurants: Nice Cafe with good coffee API serves on the whole a very varied and good breakfast API also serves a large menu of Thai, western and Indian food that is reasonably good There is a Thai restaurant that we didn’t try. Rooms: Our room was a non-renovated yellow hillside villa with pool. For the price we paid per night-about £280 it is excellent value. We had the privacy we were hoping for, and a beautiful view of the jungle around towards the sea. It was very spacious, with 2 bathrooms, and a separate living area, with a smart tv in both the bedroom and living room. It was also very quiet with nobody looking into your terrace. Perfect. The villas do need renovation but everything you needed was there including a fridge and small table where we had room service most of the time. Activities and diving: We’re advanced open water divers and have seen quite a few hotel dive centres. This one is the lowest one we’ve been to. They had no Nitrox, and old gear. The dive weights are all bashed with paint peeling off. The dive boat is large with a decent toilet on board, but it’s a very old boat that has been repainted many times. Nothing wrong with the dive instructors, they were good, however they did not check our dive licences, and there was another guest who didn’t have a licence and who came diving with us. So, not great, however they didn’t everything less correctly and I never felt unsafe. Daily excursion: Private boat hire to tour the nearby islands. Cost 10,000 Baht for 6 hours. This was a total disaster. Speedboat is the same as the transfer boat from Phuket but just smaller. No sunbathing space, no loo. No drinks offered except water. We were taken to Maya Bay, which is basically a tourist trap. No swimming allowed, just instagram photos being taken by hundred of tourists. snorkelling place was so full of boats with 20 people per boat that we were bumping into others in the water. Same with Monket island. We had been told that if we wanted to we could go back earlier and pay for 4 hours instead of 6. We were told that the bill had been reduced to 9,000 baht instead of 10,000 baht for the 2 hour reduction. How did they work that out..? Spa: Massage by Pankake and Nok. The first session we had left is feeling nice and relaxed. The second however was supposed to be the same massage but neither of us enjoyed it. I don’t know if the ladies were tired but it wasn’t the same massage. Spa is old and needs renovation. There is an unused jacuzzi filled with dirty green water right below the seating terrace for before and after treatment. It just gives a general impression of the overall state of the hotel. Would we return? Probably not. If you’re expecting a five star hotel with five star service where the staff recognise you, etc.. then this isn’t the place for you, however it’s a budget friendly option, and we loved the hillside villa Read less

Although the resort tried to make adjustments after arriving for the previous bad communication, I'd rather just have things work. Read less

A beautiful resort in the amazing Phi Phi Island. We got a very nice and modern bungalow and could enjoy our time in the middle of spectacular gardens, just a few steps away from the beach. The hotel offers many activities and has few restaurants, the Thai restaurant is so romantic. The team is always smiling and you will immediately feel home. Tanya took care of us and made all our dreams come true. We were hosted with smoothies and sweets. We spent 3 nights at the resort and regretted we couldn’t extend. The hotel is close to a small and charming village where you can dine or have drinks. You can also walk to the main city (it will take one hour from the resort and you’ll be able to admire the nature while hiking, but keep in mind, it’s not for everyone), you can ask the hotel for a taxi boat, they have transfers to the city, it might be better if you don’t like walking. Also, don’t miss the experience of the sunset by the beach with local people fishing, it was so nice to see. I loved the place and will definitely come back! Read less
