The hype
Guests are blown away by the room size and pool views but consistently disappointed by the aging maintenance and lackluster breakfast.
Phi Phi Cliff Beach Resort
$60-170/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want the most Instagrammable cliffside pool in Phi Phi and don't mind a steep climb or skipping the hotel breakfast.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Stunning panoramic views of Ton Sai Bay from the pool and upper floors
- Spacious rooms (approx. 72m²) that feel huge compared to island standards
- Located at the quiet end of the bay, away from the thumping bass of Loh Dalum party beach
Kurzfassung: A hotel with five-star views trapped in a three-star building that's slowly losing its battle against humidity and monkeys.
Bewertet von @Enesbasakk: I spent hours just floating in this pool watching the boats go by. The view of the cliffs is honestly even better in person. It’s the perfect spot to just disconnect and breathe, even on a cloudy day.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten

- You prioritize ocean views over perfect service
- You want a quiet sleep environment away from the main party strip

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the walk from the pier difficult?
It's a 10-15 minute walk. The first part is flat through town, but the final approach to the hotel is steep/uphill.
Is the pool water clean?
Generally yes, but guests frequently complain about the pool deck being dirty or having loose tiles.
Do they serve lunch and dinner?
Technically yes, but most guests skip it. The restaurant is best known for a mediocre breakfast; eat in town for other meals.
Is there an elevator?
Yes, but it is slow and occasionally out of service, forcing guests to use the stairs.
Are the monkeys dangerous?
They can be aggressive if they see food. Keep balcony doors locked even when you are inside.
Does the hotel provide beach towels?
Yes, beach towels are provided for use at the pool and the small beach strip in front.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
The 'private beach' in front is rocky and disappears at high tide; walk 10 mins to Nice Beach or Long Beach for better swimming.
- ✨
Don't leave swimwear drying on the balcony overnight—monkeys have been known to steal it.
- ✨
The 7-Eleven is a 10-minute walk away, so stock up on water/snacks before heading back to the room for the night.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'green glass' windows tint everything in the room a weird sickly color.
💡Shower pressure fluctuates wildly depending on how many people are using water.
💡The air conditioning units can be loud and rattle, struggling against the humidity.
💡You might find ants in the room if you leave even a crumb of food out.
💡The 'cliff' location means mobile data signals can sometimes be spotty in back rooms.
