Phi Phi Banyan Villa

A good character style property that fits in well with the surrounding village, I enjoyed the dark wood theme in the room I was in. it really gave a tropical feel to the stay The staff were pleasant and quick to serve.

Location was excellent, the village of Phi Phi is very quaint and walkable. Breakfast options were good.

Good place to stay on

Very nice hotel for this area. Its located in a very nice part of Phi Phi island where everything is close walking distance. Its a short walk to the pier where you arrive and depart. Any kind of shopping is easy as its all around the hotel. You are not in the absolute center of the island night life, so its maybe a little more quiet than the center part, but it will be loud just because people love to party and yell at all hours on this island. Try to get a top floor room, it puts you further away from people yelling in the street for no reason. The hotel has all the things you can get in this area. Air con worked great. The room was basically clean. Its a pretty simple design. Staff was fine. The island is a great place to see many things and also use as a base for boat trips to other places like Maya bay and other islands. The single best thing to do on this island for me was take a longtail boat to Nui beach. Its a small cove that is gorgeous and generally not crowded. You can paddle board there, but its a little distance, so if you have just a little money you can pay to get there quick and its gorgeous. I did a boat trip to maya bay, get there mid day counter to what people say, because at mid day, the sun hits the bay and its gorgeous, if you get there super early before the crowds you get there before the sun makes that place look special. So, mid day, dont worry about the crowds, its busy, but since nobody is allowed to swim there its fine.
