Extremely friedly owner lady and her staff. House keeping was effective. View from the room was amazing - you can see sunrise every morning directly from your bed. The beach in the front of the resort was quiet compared to other beaches. It was exellent for swimming and snorkeling. Free kayaks are availeble, don't miss a trip to the near island Koh Kra. Every evening non-stop transfer to walking street between 6 pm - 8 pm. The owner lady provided us a transfer to the harbour ftee of charge when we left which was very kind of her. Breakfast was really good and tasty. You can ask different kind of choises (for example yogurt) from the kitchen.

Room needs a renovation, especially bathroom. Odd smell in the bathroom (sewer pipe?) and in the shower. The were several cockroachs in our room even after poisoning. The location is quite isolated but that''s why the resort is also very quiet.

Wonderful stay!l Great location on a very picturesque beach (Sunrise Beach) in our opinion the best beach on the island! Everything within walking distance however they offer a free shuttle to walking street! Comfortable beds, lots of choices for breakfast in the morning, hot showers should you need hot water, free kayaks and snorkel equipment. Very helpful and friendly hosts!

No negatives really. The only thing we can say is the bathroom doesn’t drain too well so when you shower the water can be standing in the floor but really not an issue.

Excelent service and place!!! The staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast is amazing with many options. The hotel has a prívate access to a beautiful and clean beach, free kayak and snorkeling gear. They really want to make you feel at home!!! We enjoyed a lot and would totally come back to Kathalee. Thanks for everything!!!

Cleanliness could be improved.

Right from the start this was a great experience. They pick you up from the beach where you land with your boat, they check you in with a big smile and the location on Sunrise beach with it's own secluded section was a tropical paradise. This is a little cheaper than the more expensive resorts around it so the fixtures and fittings are not top notch but are perfectly adequate and comfortable. The sea view from our room was stunning, I really didn't want to leave. Free access to Kayaks, snorkel equipment (with coral reef 10 meters from the shore!) and a free shuttle to Walking Street made our stay very memorable. We were very happy with our stay, Koh Lipe and Kathalee will live long in our memories and our hearts.

Nothing really. Maybe the giant 5ft monitor lizard that had a staring match with me in the grounds outside our room, but that was just a wonderful wildlife encounter. Internet is a bit patchy so streaming is not really an option.

Beautiful view of the sea from my room, which was a good size, modern, clean and comfortable. All staff were very friendly and helpful, communication was great. Appreciated the pick up and drop off to the ferry point. I ate at the restaurant one night, nice food and great view as right on the beach. Breakfast good, i recommend the banana pancake. Private beach is small and secluded with the public beach just the other side of some rocks. Both pretty quiet bar the passing boats. If there aren't any free sun beds, just ask and they will get one for you. Beach was clean with clear water, lovely kayaking and snorkeling. Only 15/20 minutes to walking street plus evening drop off from hotel for residents. Boat taxis available from beach to around the island of you don't fancy a stroll.

Honestly can't think of anything. Was sad my stay was so short and hopw to come back for a longer relaxing break next time.

The resort is in an epic location at the end of Sunrise beach. It is right in front of a large rock, with it's kinda private cove, which makes it arguably the best spot of the beach or even the island. This is not an overstatement. From our Deluxe Sea View room (#29) we had an epic view of that alcove and the rock, and the marvelous water colour, and even the sunrise right there. All the front wall is a glass door, so you just bathe in the view. Just epic, it was the best of the place for us. The breakfast is generous and there's always something to like. The staff is also super helpful, and unlike most other places, all their offerings are actually cheaper than what you'll find around anywhere in town. We got the snorkel tours there, and also the boat transfer to Lanta. We had asked around in town, and they were the only ones who beat both prices. So it's a super win, plus you're collected from the hotel. Also great to have towels, snorkel equipment, kayak, and beach toys available for free to use. Really no complaint about the resort.

Being on the tip of the islands makes it furthest away from where you're dropped by the boat, so a 50 baht pp (fixed everywhere) tuktuk is recommended to take you to the resort. Also a bit annoying when you want to move around the island, since walking takes a while. Though mitigated by their nice free taxi offering every evening at 6pm to take you to the center (walking street) and back at 8pm. Wifi wasn't amazing, and sometimes it was noticeably slow to use. And the room price was expensive compared to others, but well, it was our choice this time and it was well worth it for us. We loved the place.

The location of the hotel in absolutely superb! They send a car to wait for you when you arrive and the drive to the hotel itself is an experience. You pass the walking street, a jungle, a mountain and then you see the bluest sea and the neat hotel. There is no pool in the hotel, but most excellent sea to swim, snorkel and kayak (the give you the kayaks for free). The room is nice size and decorated in Thai style. It has a good sized balcony as well.

The only thing to improve is the bathroom. It was a little outdated, though everything worked.

Very friendly staff, good clean and spacious rooms with great views of Sunrise beach (from a Deluxe room) - the climb up the hill to the room was worth the effort! Breakfasts were good with as much as you can eat - really excellent freshly made banana pancake on request. We appreciated the free kayak and the location near some excellent coral, particularly to the right of the small island opposite the resort. It is also next door to 10 Moons which has the best restaurant on the island. We would definitely stay here again

Not quite as pristine as some other resorts in the area but the price is very reasonable for Koh Lipe and the staff were superb

Best location and beach in Ko Lipe. The beach feels really private, a nice little cove with a great view of the neighboring island. Great snorkeling. Right next to the fancier resorts that cost 2-4x as much. Our room had an amazing view as well. They have a shuttle to the downtown walking street but it's actually close enough to walk.

No real massage places nearby.

Great location by the beach. Location : Next to Sunrise beach. Quiet beach with shades. Close to corals / fishes for snorkelling by the beach without the need to travel far. Convenient to few popular eateries. Facilities : Hotel provided snorkeling gears & kids play tools. Sun bed. poof. Food : Their banana pancake is yummy!

Rooms need abit of 'upkeeping'. Generally ok, stayable. The water has a weird taste, so we use purchased mineral water for toothbrushing purpose.
