SAii Phi Phi Island Village, nestled in a beautiful and serene beachfront location, earns praise from many travelers, despite some finding it a bit remote. The resort is well-regarded for its variety of amenities including pools, restaurants, and convenient app, as well as its cleanliness. The atmosphere is often described as welcoming and relaxing with live music and tropical surroundings. While room comfortability and spaciousness is generally appreciated, some guests feel they lack luxury for their cost. Service quality reportedly varies, and some travelers suggest cheaper alternatives in the nearby village for food and transportation.

    ...The main negatives for us were that there is no beach with comfortable swimming access to the ocean or comfortable walks on the beach and the food options are limited and only OK (plentiful but mediocre) at the main restaurant, and due to the location travelers are pretty much limited to the on-site food options...

The food was good, the facilities were nice, the rooms were good and the ease of walking to the town was really nice... more towels for housekeeping, room service, etc..) However, you needed wifi for the app to work and the wifi was spotty most of the time unless you were in the main lobby area so most of the time the app wouldn't load...

    ...In my opinion this hotel is not worth the money paid for four nights on half board GBP £758.92 per night. When we arrived at the reception after a long journey the receptionist said that our half board package did NOT include the two children and demanded more money for the two children’s meals... We replied that in our booking confirmation there was half board package for two adults and two children and there was not highlighted any exclusion... After a couple hours the reservation team accepted that our reservation included also half board for the two children... Not a pleasant welcome when you have been asked to pay again for something you have already paid and overpriced... The hotel is unreasonable overpriced for anything... They charged double the amount for hotels/ airport transfer from Phuket to the hotel... Please arrange your hotels/ airport with any other company, it is half of the price and there are many companies that offer these services... 400 Bath for 1 hour massage in the village and around 900 bath for the resosrt SPA... For a daily excursion the hotel charge 3 times the price that you will get with few minutes walking in the local village... Full day excursion to many islands stops with snookering for 4 people 3,000.00 BAHT... The hotel price is £9,000.00 BATH for the same facility and boat... The restaurant manager is very keen to try to sell you a la carte menu by charging extra money if you are half board... I was disappointed with this resort, the reason for chose this resort was the hotel position, the beautiful sea and the beach... There are so many other resorts in the island and this resort is not value for money...

The restaurants in the hotel are a waste of time, again service very average at best and given the 5 star prices just not worth it... The village is great, friendly locals and great tasting and value meals and drinks!... In summary it was not a bad stay, if it were say £100 ish a night and advertised as 4 star then I’d have given this place a 5 star review, but given how it’s advertised as ‘luxury’ and charged as so, I think a 3 star rating here is fair...

After the second night we were going stir crazy sitting in our rundown room and decided to hire a private boat taxi through one of the hotel vendors to take us to Tonsai Bay/Loh Dalum Bay(they Charged us 3,000 BAHT….total ripoff but we were desperate) Tonsai and Loh Dalum Bay were amazing and the beaches were stunning... If your looking for a run down, overpriced hotel where you are forced to twiddle your thumbs when the sun goes down then this is the place for you!... Everyone else do yourself a favour, save your money and stay somewhere else...

    ...All good the SAII office had hot and cold drinks and was air conditioned... The cleaning staff seemed efficient but did not fill up supplies leading us to ask for additional toilet rolls ect... On leaving again very well organised but it's seems they were trying to charge everyone for eating cashew nuts from the mini bar - something everyone denied, we most certainly did not eat these and by the sounds of it neither did other guests...

    I'll start off by saying I did enjoy staying at the hotel... The hotel also made it very easy for us to get to and from the resort through their shuttle service... It was $120 pp in both directions, and we had a private taxi drop us off at our next hotel when we left... I'd say the service was the area where this hotel really falls short... The hotel provides you with an app to download as a way to communicate with staff throughout the hotel (i.e... more towels for housekeeping, room service, etc..) However, you needed wifi for the app to work and the wifi was spotty most of the time unless you were in the main lobby area so most of the time the app wouldn't load... On multiple occasions, i'd see servers bring food to people at the pool, walk past the remains from someone else's food/drinks and not bother to pick it up until someone complains... I ended up bringing up dishes and old drinks to the area where the pool attendant should have been stationed (included a picture and a picture of old breakfast sitting in the pool for 2+ hours)...

    ...Firstly we arranged the hotels own transfer from Phuket and they messed up the car pick up, it had the wrong name on the booking. I also had to chase them to get the booking confirmation as it was not sent when promised... The service in the hotel was very disappointing, this is one area that hotels are in Thailand normally excel, but not here... Very basic service, breakfast buffet feels like a functional canteen... Very slow to clear tables and chefs rude when asked for warm poached eggs (the ones on the buffet were sat in cold water)... The restaurants in the hotel are a waste of time, again service very average at best and given the 5 star prices just not worth it... Therefore everyone eats in the local village instead which is 2 min walk from the resort...

    ...This resort is located on the Eastern side of the island which entails a 2nd boat ride from Ton Sai Pier after you initially arrive from ferry from Phuket or Krabi. Be mindful of this and contact the hotel to arrange their much cheaper 2nd boat transfer to the resort's private beach as opposed to paying your own private boat transfer which is 3-times more expensive... The resort itself is truly gorgeous and every staff member I encountered were all GRACIOUS... The manager, Woody, whom I met several times has things well organized...

The front office staff (Toomy, & Christian) went above and beyond to make ourselves comfortable and looked after, accomplishing our requests and providing the best customer service we’d experienced so far!... Traveling with a 3-years old kid it’s not always easy, but the resort staff, including the General Manager Mr. Chao T. managed to offer us a sea view bungalow with a breathtaking view which made our vacation even better... Free buggies are available on the property to transport gusts as per their needs... Housekeeping, amenities and service, laundry etc... All you need is managed thru a mobile app and the response time is seconds away!... Responsiveness time and customer focus we're above the usual 5 stars customer service!...

    ...After a couple hours the reservation team accepted that our reservation included also half board for the two children. Not a pleasant welcome when you have been asked to pay again for something you have already paid and overpriced... They charged double the amount for hotels/ airport transfer from Phuket to the hotel... Please arrange your hotels/ airport with any other company, it is half of the price and there are many companies that offer these services... 400 Bath for 1 hour massage in the village and around 900 bath for the resosrt SPA... For a daily excursion the hotel charge 3 times the price that you will get with few minutes walking in the local village... Full day excursion to many islands stops with snookering for 4 people 3,000.00 BAHT... The restaurant manager is very keen to try to sell you a la carte menu by charging extra money if you are half board...

The resort also had a coffee shop with a great selection of juices, lattes and ice creams...

    My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights at the end of a two week trip to Thailand and honestly wished we'd stayed longer!... They picked us up from our previous resort in Phuket and we were taken to their own boat departure at the Royal Marina... Upon arrival at the resort we were transferred to land by a dingy pulled by a little (but strong!)... Upon arrival to reception we, and our fellow passengers, were serenaded by a couple with a guitar and beatbox, this again we found quite amusing!... Check in was easy and the reception staff friendly... Our luggage was already in our bungalow before we'd received the keys... We were allocated a Superior Bungalow which was spacious with a king size bed, air conditioning, walk in shower, wc and dressing area... Housekeeping was carried out daily and fresh towels provided every day as well as complimentary drinking water... Breakfast selection was plentiful and all nationalities were catered for and we enjoyed breakfast overlooking the beautiful beach in the Api Restaurant... We upgraded to half board and the dinner was just as nice... Upon departure, we were again serenaded onto the speedboat which took us back to the Marina at Phuket where there was a minibus to take us to the airport...

Staff took care of our luggage while we where allocated our bungalow... The buggy service is a must as you could get lost ( our bungalow was 8202 quite away from the lobby and sea front) free ‘hire’ of the bicycles was brilliant to get around and see more as are the boat trips... Strong Mosquito spray a must can be bought in the village... We had a wonderful time thank you all the hard working staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️...

It's a beautiful resort and the beach is beautiful as are the pools... There was also an area at breakfast (which was amazing by the way!)...

    ...Hotel is a series of bungalows on stilts situated along a series of paths from beach and back - pool either end of beach and several bars and restaurants... Breakfast was a very good selection in perfect setting almost on the beach... We shortly depart by speedboat to Krabi for the final part of our holiday but staying here has been like an adventure- the first thing we saw from our bungalow was a huge water monitor lizard casually strolling past!...

The most incredible place to end our travels around Thailand, total relaxation and luxury, some areas could do with refurbishing. Very peaceful place, lacking entertainment in the evenings but does have a wonderful small band that plays by the bar.

Hotel's Favorite
When we arrived at Saii Phi Phi the tide was in and it looked stunning. We were ready for some relaxation after 10 days in Bangkok and Phuket. Departing Phuket we waited in a lovely air con room with refreshments until the other passengers arrived for the speed boat. We were asked to download the app for check in. It was a speedy bumpy crossing that took just over an hour, but we’ll worth it. Greeted by beautiful green sea, cocktails and palm trees I was blown away, it was just as I expected it to be after looking at the photos for months before we arrived. Our room was next to the fun pool, so had a little walk for breakfast in a morning which was a good selection. We ate in API restaurant and in the village. We did a trip to Maya Bay and around Phi Phi from hotel, 2 of us on a boat which was great we could pick and choose where we went, also had snorkelling gear from hotel which was amazing. Took the shuttle boat to TonSai we set off as the sky was turned dark and went in the worse storm I’ve seen! Only in Tonsai for an hour which was enough, very busy topped off with a storm! Should have known when they started handing out ponchos before we got on the long tail boat it was a bad idea going. Superior Bungalow was lovely, no complaints about anything, even the little lizard friend in our room a couple of times. The app was great too, staff were super friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi on a beach on an island in the middle of nowhere is soo much better than Wi-Fi in my house! Would definitely return if in that part of the world again.

Made query for the reservation through e-mail via homepage, but never had response back from this hotel. I think the back office management of this hotel totally lack in hospitality, as seen in other comments as well. Felt like 3 star grade, can't be 5.

Stunning location and beautiful views from our very expensive beach front villa. Staff weren’t particularly friendly and work going on which we weren’t aware of. Hotel facilities more like a 3 star resort than 5. Nothing to do in the evening and therefore if you are with friends you will be very bored. In my opinion this hotel could be amazing but it needs investment. The bar and breakfast restaurant was tired looking and the staff didn’t seem to care if you were there or not. Not what I’ve come to expect having visited Thailand and Phi Phi many times. We cut our stay short and thanks to Nora and Tanya who were very understanding of our reasons.

To start with what an incredible place We booked a beach front villa and whilst it was expensive it was worth every penny. The room was spacious, well equipped and air con was spot on as it was hot. The staff were amazing and really look after you. The resort app is great and contains lots of information and ways to request things like room service, shuttle boat and much more. The live chat option via the app was the main way to ask for things and the staff were very responsive. Food was great especially the thai although hard to get in unless you book 24 hours in advance. We did that and ate twice at this restaurant. The shuttle boats are limited but if you book in advance you won’t have any issue booking out to tonsai. They are early coming back so a more expensive independent person to bring you back at a later time. The review would have been 5 star but the hotel has lots of work going on and lots of noise. Also the quiet pool is closed and no warning of that prior to arrival. The fun pool is still open but crowded and children playing. I would come back here no problem, it was amazing and hopefully 5 star next time.

5 Star? NO WAY it's more like 2 Star! Shocking, nothing like the photos, the place is falling apart with a closed pool, building sites, and no entertainment past 7 pm, we went to bed at 8 pm as it was pitch black and had nothing to do on the island on our first night. I LOVE people but we came from Phuket where all the locals were so lovely and fun, we got to Sai Phi Phi and were simply ignored and told the locals don't like travelers much WTFudge? 5 Star NEVER. So much for the number of restaurants, my first night they said they were fully booked at the Thai restaurant and I said no probs any other options, only to be told they had a cancellation and when we got there it was only TWO tables including us. I tried to book a spa treatment in advance before I arrived to be told fully booked and found out there was only one massage person. The manager was lovely and wish her team had her spirit as I just felt flat on the overall experience. The rooms were OK for a 2-3 star BUT nothing worth paying the price even at 50% discount as nothing to do.

This is a 5 star hotel but our experience was more like 4 stars. Upon our arrival we were soaked due to a storm and having to wade through water since it was low tide, something they didn‘t tell us ahead of time. No towels were offered to us so we could dry off, just someone telling us to take a seat and they would be with us shortly. The lady who checked us in was not very friendly at all and just told us to sign a paper then scan a QR code to download their app which is needed for everything. We got to our room which was the garden view bungalow. It was as we expected and now real issues with the room. However, we immediately noticed a lot of construction noise and looked out and saw several neighbouring bungalows under construction. We tried to ignore that then wanted to go to the pool only to find out the pool we wanted to go to was closed for renovations. Again not informed ahead of time. They have another pool which is called the fun pool but is meant more for children or those wanting to party. Since it was low tide we couldn‘t swim at the beach so we just called it a day. The breakfast is served in their main restaurant and though everything taste quite good and they have a huge selection, the warm food is actually cold even coming directly from the warming buffet. Service is a bit of a hit and miss, sometimes it was really great, very responsive and nice, other times it was slow and not friendly at all. Their prices for all the restaurants are decent but the food was just ok and more western style not local Thai. There is however a little village behind the hotel that had better Thai food restaurants and more reasonably priced. There are also a couple of small shops and massage offers which are great. We debated to discuss our issues with the renovations with staff and decided to do so and they offered us a free dinner as compensation (only food no drinks) and said they inform everyone online. I asked where because I could not see it. There is a very small banner on their website which says only that „some rooms will be getting upgrades“. Firstly, upgrades to me means something different then renovation and secondly, as it was also above another info box which stated „complimentary room upgrades for members“. As I am a member I also thought that to mean we might get a room upgrade. The hotel manager did move us to another bungalow towards the front but this one is actually louder than our previous one. We also had issues with our AC unit stop working four times, then not being able to turn it off another night. They also paid for our transfer back to Phuket airport when we checked out Some of the AC units are dirty and old. Some of the furniture is broken and their beds are not the best quality. We also took advantage of an excursion they offered which was amazing and the highlight of our trip. It was a private boat to 7 different locations and it was the best day we had. We also took advantage of their spa. Their spa is quite nice, staff is friendly and it is genuinely relaxing. I did find some of their services to be a bit too high though. We also did their Thai Cooking class which was a joke. It was not really a class as the chef did most of it. Also, instead of breaking after each course is cooked to eat it, instead you place it on a table outside till you are done cooking all courses. This means all the food is cold when you finally get the chance to sit down and eat. I would recommend breaks between each course so the participants can eat their meal, let them actually do more cooking, and have recipes that are bit more than just bananas in coconut milk. Overall it was not a 5 star experience and for the money we paid we would have expected more. This hotel is beautiful and generally the staff is great, there is a lot of potential here. However, as it is a 5 star hotel we felt certain things lacked and could be improved. We would still recommend Sii Phi Phi Island Village and we hope we can return either to this one or one of their others soon and have a better experience.
