Koh Samui hotellit Lipa Noi

Plussat: Great location and staff, nice pool and beach

Plussat: We were so pleasantly surprised over how fantastic this wonderful little Boutique resort is. We went here with high expectations and was blown away! This is a true paradise and the staff is real angels. I will always keep this place in my hart. And I hope that I will have the opportunity to come back to Viva, with all our love, Niklas and Ann.

Plussat: What a gem! I rather don't tell you how good this place was, so I can keep this place for myself but this resort definately deserves the best reviews. I regret not staying longer in this peaceful, magical resort. The're just few bungalows, so it feels really intimate and quiet. Why you should book this place: - The bungalows are very spacious, especially the bathroom is really big with a nice bathtub - private beach - big swimming pool - delicious food and drinks - friendly staff - 900 m to the nearest 7 eleven - it's soooo peaceful, quiet and romantic - beautiful decorations, the light, hammocks etc - tasty breakfast If you're looking for a calm, relaxing place far away from the crowds - you should definitely book Viva vacation. We loved it.

Plussat: Huge room, very fancy, extremely comfortable. Definitely top location we have stated in in Thailand.

Miinukset: That we couldn't stay longer.

Plussat: Siisteydestä. Erittäin mukava henkilökunta. Alueesta. Kaunis ja rauhallinen ympäristö. Ei melua ja joustava.

Miinukset: Tästä paikasta ei voinut olla pitämättä.

Plussat: We absolutely loved our stay ! You get a big apartment, massive comfy bed, luggage room masseuse table where the masseuse lady comes to you so you can experience it in your own villa, huge dressing room with shower and 2!toilets. Everything was super clean and the staff were very attentive.The property only has 10villas so you almost feel like it’s your own little complex. Restaurant was nice and overlooks a nice little beach which as tree swings for that perfect picture. Sadly we only booked for 4 days. We did ask to extend but they were booked up. I really recommend booking if you like your luxury comforts. I would recommend booking a car to get around if you like visiting different restaurants and getting around ( that’s just us personally though) the staff sorted out our car in five minutes. Everything is fairly cheap and they don’t rip people off.I can’t recommend this place enough. You also have a huge pool looking over the beach. We booked into another villa after our stay that was more expensive and better start star rating and it did not come close to siam boutique.

Miinukset: Nothing loved everything:)

Plussat: 24 hours pool, clean rooms, welcome and goodbye room decorations, huge beds. Being in the west part of the island, if it’s not cloudy is ideal for sunset.

Miinukset: We arrived around 8.30 and head straight towards the restaurant. Once arrived, the waitress told us there were plenty of outstanding orders so she asked us to go to our room. There was nobody to be seen in the restaurant so we insisted to stay (the restaurant close at 10 pm) and have been served in 10/15 minutes. Another couple arrived 30’ later and went back to their room. The beach in front of the resort is small and the sea is far from what you’d imagine. The seabed is muddy and you have to walk at least 100 meters to wet more then your ankles. The bathroom will be probably 20 square meter but toilets and shower are reduced to a 1 square meter box and, if you are tall, say goodbye to your privacy. Despite having a NO pets policy, a couple have 2 dogs walking freely around the resort. We were comfortable with it but is you are scared by dogs make sure to ask clearly if the rule will be bent during your stay. The resort policy for anything bought at the bar/restaurant is quite foggy. Sometimes you signed a receipt, sometimes you don’t and, even if we found nothing unexpected in our room bills, the procedure should be clarified to avoid misunderstanding. The place is totally isolated. Nathan, the first populated village is 10’ drive from the resort and you cannot walk there. Because of that, the price in the bar and in the restaurant are more London style then Thailand’s. Almost 20 bucks for a really poor breakfast and some bread selection are definitely too much. Dinner was more expensive then the island average as well so, after the first day we went to the resort next door where portions were bigger and prices lower. We also tried to rent a motorbike but the receptionist struggled with English and failed to answer simply question about the insurance (we asked for theft and fire cover and she told there was none, we than asked for third party liability and she also told us there was no insurance in place) so we gave up.

Plussat: The resort is fantastic, the bedroom is amazing, the bathroom is huge and everything was very well cleaned. The food was good. And it’s really well located.

Plussat: Food , and room was really nice

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great resort for calm vacation, but Nikka resort make party nearby. Beach is a bit dirty when waves come but it's OK.

Plussat: Location Beautiful romantic setting Friendly professional staff - incredibly helpful Great swimming pool Fantastic restaurant

Miinukset: The living space cramped whereas the bathroom was huge

Plussat: Quiet place with no people on the beach. Good sea.

Miinukset: Breakfast is lousy and below all expectations. For the money hotel is charging for breakfast it must be completely different with more choices. You have got 3 pre-selected choices only and we have stayed for almost 2 weeks! Food for dinner is not bad overpriced versus outside cafe and restaurants.

Plussat: Many mesquites, many street’s dogs on land and on the beach. The sea is dirty and very shallow. We could not swim. No reasonable transportation. The property located far away from the main touristic

Plussat: The place and the staff were amazing. The rooms are very very spacious and everything is so clean. Breakfast is delicious. The commun places are very well kept, the garden well taken care of. The manager is so helpful and kind, he makes everything easy and comfortable! Compare to other hotels, this place a really great value for money.

Miinukset: Unfortunately, we were staying when the owners were also there. They made us feel uncomfortable for different reasons, telling the staff to tell us that some things were forbidden, when they are usually not. It put us and the staff in an uncomfortable situation as they could not explain the news rules and the owner refused to come and talk to us directly. We actually shortened our stay because of this. However, they are only there a few weeks a year, so it shouldn't be a problem for your stay.

Plussat: Spacious accommodation.

Miinukset: Water pressure is very very low. Even after several comments, management said he has turned on (he should not have turned off in the first place), it was still low.

Plussat: Very clean rooms, good atmosphere, friendly and helpful stuff, good and quit location. Good view, good kitchen. I enjoyed my staying, thank you very much.

Miinukset: Only thing I can complain that when u making booking , system giving you one rate one room, but on attached pictures absolutely different room, which they have only one and it calls “sea view bungalow “ and coast more expensive. Room option that you have here to book not on pictures and looks different, without any view at all. It’s huts with small garden close to the road. If you want room like shows on picture u need to pay quit more. So you booking room rate as here, but on pictures different room, which is more expensive in fact. This is not well, I booked a room and was expected to see same room with view like on information pictures provided.

Plussat: The staff

Plussat: Quiet place, Close to Raja port, Friendly staff, breakfast was good

Miinukset: Beach front room quite old, bathroom need the improvement.

Plussat: Very frendly owner and personal, very clean and comfortable rooms, good air con, directely at the beach, yummi food in the restaurant... would definetely book this hotel again

Plussat: Excellent contact with Charlie and we enjoyed the Restaurant and the nearby Massage on the beach.

Plussat: Staff was friendly and approachable. Loved the proximity to the beach. Clean and simple. Focus on recycling, great place to Think.

Plussat: Great location just near the beach

Plussat: Quiet and peaceful location with your own private beach on your doorstep. Jacuzzi right in front. Bicycles free to use. Hammocks and swing on the beach. Staff very friendly and helpful. Cute french bulldog at the property. The room is excellent and you can stay here for weeks as it so comfortable.

Miinukset: A bit far from everything but a good thing if you like peace and quiet. The restaurants in the area are a bit expensive so make sure you rent a car or bike.

Plussat: Amazing place , quiet and beautiful. They also have dogs and turtles ❤️

Plussat: Very helpfull stuff.

Plussat: Samui Haus was spectacular. The room was ultra chic and impeccably clean. The view from our room was incredible which overlooked the island and the ocean. We swam and read books very comfortably on the beach chairs on our private deck, and took a dip in the jacuzzi. All of the amenities were great but the staff was the best part. My boyfriend and I stayed on New Years Eve, and the staff put on an amazing cook out for the guest. Ala cart grill options and complimentary desert. It was the best New Years I have had in a decade. We watched fireworks right from our room. The staff went above and beyond to create an intimate experience for us and I highly recommend this hotel for traveling couples and special occasions.

Miinukset: Limited TV options (I didn't notice but my bf did).

Plussat: The hotel was very nice - specially the room, it had pool and direct access to the beach with sunbeads, which was beautiful and calm. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We did not try the hotel breakfast.

Miinukset: There is literally nothing around. It's a very remote location and even to rent a motorbike was a 15 minutes walk and we did not feel 100% safe walking there alone at night.

Plussat: The staff were fantastic, they made us feel very welcome and helped us out with whatever we needed. The location is great, nice pool, nice beach views, and we enjoyed our breakfast. We would definitely stay again.

Plussat: We loved the pool, free bikes and kayaks. The location is nice for a quiet getaway. There is a FamilyMart across the road and some resteurants. The remote location is not a problem since they rent a very good scooter for a good value. Personalised message waiting in the room and a wellcome drink was a nice touch. Reception adn the owner were very nice and helpfull.

Miinukset: We werent informed that the resorts Restaurant and Bar are being closed during our stay. Not the nicest beach for swimming (parked long boats and somewhat dirty sea).

Plussat: Clean, cozy garden, room near the sea

Plussat: Right on the beach, amazing people run this place, quiet and safe

Miinukset: Nothing to report

Plussat: Laivat lähtivät vierestä. Soveltunee 1-2 yön reissuun ihan hyvin. Hyvä allasalue ja sijainti rannalla. Skootterilla liikkuville varmaan myös ihan oiva valinta. Ystävällinen omistaja.

Miinukset: Ruoka oli aika kallista, lähellä vain toinen kallis ravintola ja kahvila. Edullisemmat ravintolat pimeän taipaleen päässä. En kaipaa melua ja meininkiä, mutta ympäristö on todella, todella hiljainen eikä lähellä ole todellakaan mitään, paitsi satamalaituri ja ranta.

Plussat: Kauniit maisemat. Kiva uima-allas. Kaunis auringonlasku.

Miinukset: Ravintolassa oli kallista. Lähellä ei ollut mitään, eli aika kaukana kaupoista ym. Huoneessa oli liskoja ja torakoita ja kun jätettiin valot vessaan yöksi siellä oli aamulla kasa ampiaisia kuolleena lattialla.

Plussat: Great traditional feeling, cosy and clean rooms with a beautiful beach in front.

Miinukset: A little bit isolated from everything else

Plussat: Absolutely beautiful location!

Plussat: Horrible customer service

Miinukset: Greedy

Plussat: Nice hotel exactly in front of the beach! The rooms are very big and modern! The food in the restaurant is really tasty and it's perfect for a sunset dinner. The hotel was very clean and beautiful and the area very quiet.

Plussat: Beach front rooms have a wonderful, just breathtaking view.

Miinukset: There is no much choice for the breakfast, but they were fine. Stuff had little problems with English, but always there was a way to communicate, even if problems appeared.

Plussat: The staff responded to our need to move rooms after making sure the air conditioner did not work.

Miinukset: We ordered bottledwater at dinner. The server opened the water and we think the bottle had already been opened and used . The next days after both of us where sick. The electricity in our room also stopped working which did not help how we felt. We have learned to open our own water and to not trust the server as much.

Plussat: Huone oli hyvä ja siisti. Maisemat oli mahtavat.

Miinukset: Ravintolan ruoka oli keskinkertaista ja hintavaa.

Plussat: Location far from the crownd. Quiet and peaceful. Amazing Pool, Amazing sunsets

Miinukset: Could clean the beach more often. Prices a little high. No public transport or taxi around.

Plussat: Room was big and nice. Also, nice view from the room. Staff are are friendly. The beach is long but not so wide. There is all you need for breakfast, but normally the breakfast selection is bigger in other hotels. It is very peaceful, would recommend it to the ones that do not like crowded places and like the peace during the night. Perfect stay for few days, to get rest after the flight and to read a good book. You can rent a scooter at the hotel for 300 baths and visit the Nathon town (5 min drive) where is all you need, big food market, super market, small stores, massages for 200 baths. You can also drive to the all three waterfall in this are.

Miinukset: Food and drinks are quite pricey. There is a family mart store nearby, 5 min walk, across the street of the store are small local food provider, we went there several times, they have good food for good price :)

Plussat: The staff is lovely, the room was big and was everyday clean and there were no bugs in the room. The pool is small but wonderful, and there is a small beach attached to it. With low tide you can walk all along the Lipa Noi beach. The breakfast is expensive but worth it. The restaurant and every service to can need (like the baby cot, taxi) is very expensive, so I'll recommend to ask somewhere else, for instance, the hotel arranged a taxi to chaweng beach for 800 or 900bth, but in the check out one hotel in chaweng arranged a taxi for 450bth for us, half price. The hotel is quite isolate and not recommended for travel with a baby car.

Miinukset: The expensive services, the cost of the hotel and the surroundings, there isn't much where to eat or visit.

Plussat: Amazing view from bedroom (sea view one), superb and quiet swimming pool. Very peaceful surroundings with white sandy beach.

Miinukset: Shower was blocked in our bedroom - management offered for us to shower in the room next door for the duration of our stay with free breakfast in return. Restaurant menu expensive- there are a couple of good family run restaurants around the hotel which offer better value for money. I'd recommend renting a scooter and hotel is a little bit remote.

Plussat: Very comfy room even if a little dated. Amazing how close to the beach with the restaurant and breakfast basically served on it. Breakfast was very good and drinks very good price. Didn't spend much time at the hotel as we used it as a base for a wedding but when we were there it was a good stay.

Miinukset: Decor is a little dated and is a little away from a few things. So could to use as a chill hotel with the pool and the beach.

Plussat: Staff was extremely friendly. The Deluxe Jacuzzi Villa was perfect for 2 people. The grounds were well maintained . You get a nice feel of the tropical environment along with the beach at this resort. Private beach was perfect for swimming. Not clear enough to snorkel, though. Have roughly 20 beach chairs for suntanning. Never had a problem trying to find one. Three kayaks for guests to use. Life jackets and oars are free to use, too. Breakfast buffet was decent.

Miinukset: Thai food might be catered more towards foreigners and not considered truly authentic(coming from Thai people traveling with us). Large group, around 9, were drinking outside their room...which was located next to our villa. Called the front desk to ask if they could ask the guests to move inside their room. The employee knew of the noise(could hear the group on the other end of the front desk's phone). She said that if they continued to be loud after midnight, she would ask them to be quiet. Two hours later, around 12:40am, the noise stopped.

Plussat: Beach

Miinukset: Far from centre

Plussat: Very relaxing atmosphere , staff was great and location was amazing for a quiet holiday

Miinukset: WiFi was a little slow and the shower wasn’t great

Plussat: Staff were great

Miinukset: Needs a renovation

Plussat: Our pool villa was great. It was secluded and clean. The beach was also very picturesque.

Miinukset: The main pool was very cloudy and not very appealing. The breakfast was also quite poor with not much selection.

Plussat: Unlimited buffet for 400baht, not bad at all. Had enough choices and ability to customise in my opinion. Great to be walking distance to a beach. The room was large, comfortable and clean. There was complementary refreshments on arrival which was great. The staff were amazing, great hospitality.

Miinukset: The shower was definitely undesirable. Fluctuating water pressure and temperature. Felt quite rickety and unsteady at times whilst inside the shower. I think the outside jacuzzi had seen better days.

Plussat: We stayed in a villa with a private plunge pool, metres away from the main pool and 20 metres from the restaurant and beach.

Miinukset: Food and drinks were a little bit expensive (a can of Coke was double the price of the shop over the road.)
