4 Stars Hotels in Koh Lipe

"I was actually surprised how just great this place was - exceeded my expectations. The rear of the property feels a bit “big-hotel-y”, with “ large two storey blocks of rooms built around pools. Which may suit some, but is not my thing personally. But luckily the front half, including where the Villa Suites I stayed in are located, is much nicer - open & spacious, low-rise, beautiful tropical gardens. The staff are terrific - better than even the typically high standard in Thailand. Pattaya Beach here, and to the west, is lovely. It goes downhill as you go east from here. The only constructive criticisms I can make are: The hotel wastes / really should make better use of its beachfront. It’s covered in tables - that no one uses during the day - rather than sun beds and similar. Put sunbeds on the beach during the day, swap for tables in the evening, and it would be so much better. Food & drink prices are pretty outrageous unfortunately, even by the standards of higher end places on Lipe. This does leave a bit of a sour taste. More lights in the bathroom, particularly around the mirror, would be appreciated (the simple fact I’m listing this shows how little there is to criticise, though!)."

"We loved our stay at the Idyllic and would highly recommend it. Excellent breakfast, lovely room and great views from the beachside pool and the beach itself. However, the absolute highlight was dinner on the beach at night in the hotel's restaurant...beautiful ambiance and some of the best food we have had in Thailand!"
