Holiday Inn Resort Phi Phi Island

Location is amazing, great to disconnect from the hassle of big cities. You can see both sunrise and sunset. The staff is really friendly, everyone smiles. There are a few cats in the hotel, we loved that.

Pretty much everything in the hotel is quite overpriced: Lunch, dinner, drinks, tours, even the water (60 baht for a 500ml bottle). We ended up arranging all this at the shops & restaurants outside the hotel, which saved us a lot of money. The room was worn out, it needed renovation. The only way to get to the main pier is via long-tail boat, which costs about 1000 baht. The hotel should provide free boat shuttle service a couple of times a day so that guests can visit the pier. We only got 2 complimentary bottles of water per day, considering the heat this is definitely not enough (and buying it at the hotel's shop is quite costly).

very friendly and helpful staff.

high prices for transportation and food. You are paying almost european tarrifs for drinks and food. Did not enjoy the possible lower prices in Thailand. Be prepared to spend some money.
