After a few days at Geckos in the middle of the walking street, we had to move as it was fully booked. We wanted a cheaper place to stay and went to Tarutao Cabanas as many people staying on the island for a while were staying there. We did manage to almost cut our accommodation expenses in half - and... More

Ko lipe We booked our entire Thailand trip through sun sea travel agent in Bangkok (big mistake) so we had no idea what this place would be like as half of our hotels didn't even have a reservation for us or weren't that nice at all. Ko taratuo is in a great location, sunrise beach is beautiful and much quieter... More

The Bundhaya speed boat from Telaga Harbour, Langkawi, 'docks' at Tarutao Cabana. Bundhaya staff stated that if no Hotel booking had been made, then passports are forwarded to Immigration to be collected at a latter time. I will raise this issue further and reopen the 'Bundhaya speed boat' forum but for now will say: do not get this boat when... More

We stayed here 9 nights. Wasnt full at all. Management wad nice and tried their best, but doesnt seem so interested in renting the place. Feels like they have a lot more to do and I dont think its so hard to improve. We booked with breakfast and we enjoyed it at the beach restaurant. Shakes are cheap and good... More

I didn't stay here but walked past a few times and through it to get to the road and couldn't believe how bad it was. Looked liked somebody had abandoned it years ago. i wouldn't want someone to book here thinking they were going somewhere nice. You would be so disappointed. Sunrise Beach is really nice so I can't understand... More

For those that dislike Lipe all I can say is maybe you will like samui or Phuket more with the KFC and McDonnalds on every corner! This is one of the most naturally beautiful places I have ever visited and I travelled across south east Asia for 7 months. The reef was unlike anywhere else around Thailand, untouched and filled...

We were stuck for somewhere to stay on Sunrise Beach and had to find somewhere with A/C as it was baking hot but wish we hadn't bothered with Tarutao. The A/C was cool enough and we were grateful not to have to sleep on the beach but the room was grotty & an uncomfortable bed meant little sleep. Sunrise Beach... More

The "resort", if you can call it that, bills itself as "the most pleasure resort on Lipe island." Nothing could be further from the truth! I have stayed in some pretty bad and dire accomodation during my time on this Earth, and I can normally take backpacker accomodation, but this "resort" certainly takes the cake as one of the worse...

The resort advertises itself as "The most pleasure resort on Lipe island". Actually I think it's the most disgusting place I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot of cheap guesthouses). I paid relatively high price for the room (about 1600BHT/night) which I booked in advance from the Tigerline travel office in Trang. The reason for booking in... More

Whatever you do when visiting Koh Lipe - avoid this place. We stayed at a number of places on Lipe and this was not only twice the price but I can honestly stay that this was the most depressing place I have ever stayed. We booked a superior room over new year as there was nowhere else to stay but... More
