Hotels near Serendipity Beach

"Absolutely loved this place. However, I missed not having any sun loungers on the beach to relax. The stairs were quite hard work to walk up as our room was right at the top. But the staff and the view was still worth it. We especially loved having breakfast brought to our room in the mornings."

"Honeymoon suite , lovely hotel. Food was great for lunch and evening meals on the beach. Nice chilled music and great location. Was worried it may be hectic at the bottom of walking street. Only negatives are the curtains weren't wide enough to block out all the sun and as a vegetarian, omelettes and eggs were cooked on the same grill as bacon. The beach is overran with longtail boats - actually seems worse on sunrise beach , the only place it's ok is nr zodiac see sun resort, but the ananya does have a roped off swimming area right in front of the hotel. If I came back I would probably stay here and I definitely recommend it."

"Sam Pita has an excellent location, about 5 minutes to Sunrise beach and about 8 minutes to Pattaya beach and about one minute to the north end of Walking Street. Sunset beach is about a 30 minute walk or a 3 minute taxi ride. North Point beach (Zodiac) is about a 12 minute walk. The staff are very nice, the breakfast was decent enough and the pool was a welcome change from going to the beach. The air conditioning worked very well and was quiet. There was great water pressure in the shower but didn’t get very hot. The room is very spacious with a mini fridge and a big washroom and a large shower. The WiFi was passable and sometimes was very slow but I read that this could be the case all over the island. The area is kept very clean and a huge bonus was that they have a service to pick up you and your bags from the pier - this was huge and a major stress reliever since it would be very difficult to take your bags on your own or hiring a taxi which would be hard at the rush when a boat arrives. I would highly recommend this hotel especially after seeing some of the other I was considering."

"The water in the small private beach is calm and the sand on the beach and in the water there softer than other areas on the island, lots of fish close to the shore, even some shade over part of the beach and water in the afternoon. The ocean views from the cabin are amazing - you can see the ocean from bed. The staircases to the cabins are so clean and smooth, when it’s not too hot, you can go barefoot. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The back entrance gives quick access to the walking streets that have food, restaurants, souvenirs, tour operators and 7-11. Koh Lipe is a small island - anyone going to it should have the mobility to get in and out of a speedboat & longboat easily, & navigate many stairs and uneven surfaces. "

"Cabins were clean and tidy on arrival, the staff were also super helpful, probably the best service we received in Thailand. The cafe on the beachfront was really nice, proper tasty food and drinks. Great location, 5 minute walk to Walking street and right on the beach. When we booked this initially our thought was ‘how bad can it be without AC’ for a few nights. For us, it was a bit unbearable, really struggled to sleep while we were here, I can’t hold that against Castaways as we knew before we booked but it’s something you need to consider. On the final day there was a whole bunch of ants that had invaded toilet and I woke up covered in bites that weren’t from mosquitos, not sure what they were but wasn’t very nice. After noticing the bites we took the bed covers up to check for bed bugs and it was kinda gross, not sure how often they change the mattress topper sheet underneath. "

"Excellent service and beach"

"The staff are excellent. Always pleasant, and very helpful and attentive. Breakfasts were wonderful with lots of choice. We particularly enjoyed the peaceful location - especially given how developed KoLipe has become (at times overwhelming). The only critique is that with the limit on lounging beds around the pool something must be done to give more fair and equal/equitable access. It is NOT acceptable that people could come out early, park their towels on the beds and aften would never appear til late in the day - if at all and/or stay for a short time but not remove towels to indicate availability for use by others There are a few small signs on a couple side tables but these are simply ignored. There needs to be more explicit signage ex. That beds left empty for more than an hour or 2 will be cleared by the staff to make way for others use - and adhere to this rule. This is a lovely high end resort that was a costly stay and it felt unfair that for the entire week-plus here were only a couple days that we could secure a space to lounge for a couple of hours. "

"We have just stayed at Mail Sunrise. We had a Balinese suite which was on the top floor of a small 2 storey block. I was under the impression we were getting a stand alone bungalow but once we entered the room I was happy! It was beautiful. Bigger than the villa bungalows and after looking around the resort I think I preferred ours. Larger and more private. The room was stunning. Large and spotless. Beautiful comfy bed, soft pillows and linen, great bathroom and large balcony. We had a fridge, pool towels and daily bottled water. The resort was nice. Breakfast offered several choices and was served 7-10.30. There are a few sun loungers on the small area outside the bar. There is no beach at high tide which makes it feel a bit tight around that area. The pool is pretty. Cleaned in the morning free of leaves etc, but in the afternoon it could have done with another sweep. Plenty of beds around the pool. Reception staff there till 5pm. After that the bar staff are around till 19pm then there is an emergency phone number. The best things for us were the room itself and the location of the resort. South end of Sunrise do less congested with people and boats. 10 mins walk to Walking Street and a motorbike taxi outside most times we wanted one. 20 min walk up Sunrise beach to Zodiac where people go to watch the sunset. Beach bars all along this route. "

"Superb in every way"
