The Cliff Lipe

If it wasn’t for some of the staff this would have been a disaster.

My recommendation would be to avoid this resort. I stayed here for 7 days in the pool villa (Pool Room 3), supposedly the better room out of the choice of pool villas. The cost of the room is nearing 8,000thb per night. We had non stop issues with the electric in the room for most of the stay with the electric failing and leaving no use of any of the facilities in the room including the aircon. Fixing after fixing which didn’t resolve the issue at all, there was promise of someone coming from the mainland to fix it, but no show. We had continuous visits from the staff and had to deal with a lot of interruptions to our stay which made the whole experience uncomfortable and not relaxing at all. The food here is terribly expensive, we paid 400baht for a poor amount of nachos that probably would have cost 20thb in the local 7/11. The room service menu was also met with items being unavailable, which again was surprising as the cost of the rooms were so high. We were sent to a recommend restaurant by the receptionist that after a long walk down hill in the rain was actually closed for renovation, no apologies and we were left in the middle of nowhere to sort out our own taxi to another restaurant that was open. The whole resort had a air of disorganization about it. The management didn’t seem to care about our situation and offered us a small token in the way of a discount for a stay that was totally spoilt. Will not be staying here ever again. There are better more organized and less costly options on the island. There are not many things to do on Koh Lipe, so it’s important for standard features like electric to at least work when you’re paying 5* prices and extortionate food costs.
