Lipe Banyan Apartments

I love how tolerable the owner when i called him and told him i missed my boat from Pakbara as i am still stucked at the border. He told me not to worry and let me rescheduled without hesitation. The staff also very helpful, and the offered free ride to the pier. The hotel located in a small village where you can find the ducks and chickens roaming around, and you were surrounded by the village houses. The beach was 5minutes away by walk.

The location, you need to have vehicles to go to the other side of the walking street and other beaches. And despite we need to climb 3 stairs to get to our room, it compensates by the view of the sea from our balcony.

kind and friendly staffs. very helpful too. the big refrigerator, microwave etc. complete set of basic kitchen appliances. our apartment are spotless!

not that i didn’t like, but the location a bit far, approx 600m from the pier and walking street for foods. accessible but alot of walking.

Staff was so nice. The place was absolutely spotless with an excellent kitchen and utensils. The bed was so comfy, soft but with a firmness, so you woke with refreshed with no pains. (most important to me). Walkable 2 minutes to beach and 10 minutes to walking street, so it is quiet. Had the family unit with a great sea-view but a couple flight of steps. Cleaning every other day. Recommend!!!!

Shower head needs to be fixed. It was a pain until we tied it up. We asked for a squeegee for the wet shower and they supplied it immediately.

-Very nice staff. -So spacious apartment with kitchen, as on their photos. -Laundry service (80 baht/kg). They return clothes even the same evening. -Near Pattaya Beach in just a few minutes but a bit far from main walking street. -Free pick up and drop off, if requested.

-No breakfast, but near there is another hostel with this option. -Many animals (roosters, ducks, cats, etc.) around the apartments. -Quite noisy at night, so difficult to sleep properly. Footsteps and creaking wood can be heard from the other apartments. Roosters crow from 04:00 am. Also local people with music or singing some nights. -Fleas/bugs on our bed, even after changing sheets the next night. Though they kindly changed the room for us when requested. -When we changed the room, in the new room the showerhead was broken (photo attached).
