We booked Hotel Cabana late as we read on a review of the previous hotel we had booked was very noisy due to the late night bars. Cabana was on the beach and further away from centre, but only a 2 minute walk from the pier.
Just bear in mind although it’s further away from the loud night bars, you can still hear some of the noise at night but not too much compared to the hotels closer to the main beach bars.
Firstly the view is beautiful if you have a pool beach view room (one of the selling points)
The view was beautiful from our room and the pool is lovely and big. Pool side was not too busy, you could sit and watch the boats pass in and out the bay.
However there were times we found it to be difficult communicating with the staff as they spoke very little English, but they were very friendly.
We had a deluxe double room. It was clean. The bed was a good size, but they only provided one pillow per person, although pillows were plump. Air con in the room is very good and didn’t leak. Good size balcony. The bathroom was usable but needs to be changed for a modern one, it would’ve been great 20 years ago.
The wifi was slow, once you locked your phone you had to then log in again which was inconvenient.
Breakfast is very basic really, not a massive range of food, omelettes were good though.
If you’re looking for a place with a nice view but nothing too luxury here is the place to stay. We agreed it was worth having a slightly less luxurious room to have the benefit of an amazing pool area with a great view of the bay.
The pool bar used to have excellent service and do absolutely amazing Thai food. The menu has now become extremely limited with only very basic options, and the food isn’t that nice any more, forcing you to leave the hotel for lunch. The pool bar service is terrible at the moment and my wife almost got heat stroke because there were absolutely no staff to even purchase water from quite a bit of the time. Occasionally staff came around seeing if people wanted drinks – very infrequent. However, the service and food are unacceptable.
Breakfast was also not worth having - I remember it had previously been fairly reasonable.
While this hotel still has an excellent position, being next to the port, and far away from the disco’s along the beach, with probably the biggest pool, and best view in Phi Phi. I think that next time I travel to Phi Phi (and it will soon), I will be trying another alternative. There are at least 4 new hotels with more modern rooms and facilities in the last 5 years. Certainly this hotel cannot justify the price it is currently charging.


The breakfast was quite ok. A plus is that they make omelettes and scrambled eggs to your liking.
The rooms were quite okay. We stayed at 4301, which was a bit out of the way from the main area. It had a nice view out to sea. Air conditioning worked fine. Wifi in the room was perfectly fine, but dropped out occasionally.
The beds, on the other hand, are relatively hard. The bathroom was also unfortunately quite disgusting, with open drains. It looked unclean especially in the shower. The jets from the shower head were also painful as they were hard. We asked to change rooms because of this, but it didn't work.
All in all quite ok.

The rooms are a little outdated, as is the entire hotel. In general, it is a bit shabby, but for 1 or 2 nights it can be manageable.
At night the area is quite noisy as there is a disco on the beach and the noise echoes.
It has a large pool and sunbeds with a sea view and the breakfast buffet is good.
The staff is not very attentive and unprofessional. There are many aspects that could be improved.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend it because, compared to other hotels I visited in Thailand, I didn't get on well.
Bathroom door so stiff I had to use body oil to get it moving. No instructions how to use the safe and it’s not that straight forward
The bed is like a plank of wood, it’s so hard. We had 3 nights and hardly slept. Not helped by the beach party that goes on till 3am every single night, windows are single glazed so can hear the music really loudly. Then just as you drop off the party goers arrive back yelling and screaming waking you again.
Breakfast not very good and breakfast room staff are rubbish they don’t replenish stuff once it run out. Breakfast finished at 10 we went about 8.30 and had already run out of milk and fruit and it wasn’t replenished.
Only saving grace here was we had a beautiful view.


HOWEVER, the hotel is shambolically ran.
The worst part being that without any notice, boat tours arrive for 'lunch' where 100+ passengers decend on 6 speed boats and used the pool. Their very arrogant tour operator takes photos in front of your sunbed, without any regard to the paying guests, and abused us when we challenged him.
The pool area is dirty, litter is rarely cleaned, or glasses taken away. The rooms are very dated with poor air conditioning. The breakfast is barely edible, a hard boil egg is uncooked and bread stale.
The noise from the late night bars (which continue until 3am) on the beach can make sleeping difficult, admittedly not a fault of the hotel.
The staff (expect one of the managers) do not seem to care and are extremely slow.
You could potentially stay a couple of nights, if you can cope with the above, but it's not a good hotel for a relaxing stay.
The pool area is huge and has stunning views however the beds need replacing and the pool area needs some tlc.
The rooms were a good size and the bed comfortable enough but very very dated, the shower was just a dribble yet somehow still flooded the bathroom every time it was used.
The view from the balcony was lovely, sadly the chairs were uncomfortable and the balcony not very clean.
The gym we thought would be great as next to the pool and outside and also a good size but sadly not a single thing could be used as it was either broken/snapped or completely rusted.
Out of our 3 weeks in Thailand and many places visited/stayed this breakfast was by far the worst in fact it was absolute chaos!!
The restaurant was dirty, plates not cleared and staff just stood around, no interaction at all. Had to clear our own table and find our own clean cutlery. All of the food was cold, the only thing about edible was an omelette which took 20 minutes to make again because staff just stood around and no one seemed to know what they were doing making for a very stressful experience. It was so bad we didn’t eat there for the two following days even though we had breakfast included!
I wouldn’t return to this hotel, a shame really as with some friendly staff (for a start) and a lot of tlc it could be improved.
"Book a boat trip to Maya Bay from outside the hotel. Try the restaurants on Phi Phi rather than eat at the hotel as there is so much choice."Read full review
