The map made it look like The Reef was nearer to the beach but it's not that near. It's location is nearer to the jungles so there were mosquitoes although thanks to the use of mosquito coils, we were able to keep them out of the room. It's also quite near to the end of the Walking Street, so you... More

We had booked a couple nights at another place but they overbooked us so we had to scramble to find another place. It was tough work trying to find a place in Feb, but when we found The Reef, we were so excited. Khun Nok helped us so much during our stay- she helped book us boat tickets, helped with... More

Just enjoyed a long stay at the Reef on Koh Lipe. The rooms are spotless and the bathrooms are the best we saw on the island. Breakfast was outstanding and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Nok and Lexi were pleasant to work with, very personable, and happy to offer help with travel, and recommendations for food and things... More

The Reef is situated on a back road in the middle of the island. The surroundings are really ugly with a lot of garbage around. We saw vermine running in and out of te restaurant next door. The rooms have no furniture just a hard bed. The bed has no sheets just a thin cotton throw over. For the same... More

PROS: Room design is nice and very clean. Hot shower was efficient. Location is between Pattaya and Sunrise beach and a bit far away from Sunset beach. The outside wall has many geckos but never found them in the room. CONS: It's not a cheap guest house and on their web they say to provide daily cleaning. However, we had... More

We stayed here during the Chinese New Year holidays. Initially we thought that the hike up to the hotel was quite a journey (mostly because of our heavy luggages) but after the second trip we didn't mind the location much. In fact, it was perfect as it was accessible to all the beaches in the island. We booked the family... More
