Lipa Bay Resort

Close to the beautiful beach (this has the best sunset on the island imo). Close to the shop (Tops, if you need anything). It has a bath and good shower - if you are missing those luxuries. Also a minibar. Close to Chill Inn, and Niki beach Resort - you can also wonder the coastline easily from here - and barely see a soul if that’s what you like.

Very hard bed. Only 2 pillows for a huge bed, so my neck was a little sore.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ 4/5 Lipa Bay Resort has so much potential and, in many ways, delivers a wonderful Koh Samui experience. What I Loved The location is absolutely fantastic. Situated directly on the beachfront in peaceful Lipa Noi, the resort offers stunning ocean views and some truly spectacular sunsets. The infinity pool overlooking the sea is a highlight and creates a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. My room on the second floor was spacious, comfortable, and came with beautiful views of the ocean. Waking up to that scenery every morning was a real treat. The restaurant was another pleasant surprise. The food was consistently good, reasonably priced, and I enjoyed several excellent meals during my stay. The entire property has a laid-back, tropical charm that makes it easy to unwind. While some areas are a little dated, the overall vibe is very relaxing and fits the location perfectly. Final Thoughts Lipa Bay Resort is a beautiful beachfront property with an excellent location, lovely views, a great pool, and good food. With more attentive service and more comfortable mattresses, it could easily be an outstanding resort. Despite its shortcomings, I still enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to travellers looking for a quiet and relaxing part of Koh Samui.

The biggest disappointment was the service. The staff, particularly at reception, often came across as indifferent and uninterested. Every request felt like an inconvenience, which was surprising considering the otherwise welcoming atmosphere of the resort. A little more warmth and attentiveness would make a huge difference to the guest experience. The other issue was the bed. Unfortunately, it was one of the hardest beds I’ve ever slept on and felt more like sleeping on a concrete slab than a hotel mattress. For a short stay it was manageable, but for longer stays it could become uncomfortable.

Really nice little hotel right on the beach.

Just wish there was hot water for the bath, but had hot water for the shower so no real issue (not a real problem anyway)

Price is reasonable, lots of tree.

Clearness, facilities, service minded staff, insects and animals.
