Villas in Satun

Every once and a while you enter a property that transports you to another plane—certainly physically, more than likely emotionally, and possibly even spiritually. Serendipity delivers on all fronts. The ocean-view villa made me pine for loved ones, as I initially felt guilty for experiencing such a property by myself. I imagined my folks opening the shuttered windows and gazing out at the sunrise each morning. I wished my niece and nephew were sitting on the villa-wide balcony, keeping me company. Yet as the days passed, I fell comfortably in love with being alone in such a magnetic space. Steps from the most intimate, private stretch of Sunrise Beach, Serendipity balances up-scale bohemia with laid-back sophistication. The owner, fortunately, is also a chef—noted in each dish served. Welcoming and gregarious, he was approachable without being overbearing. Honeymoon—yes. Intimate anniversary—absolutely. Elderly parents—possibly a challenge due to the inclined stairways. However, anyone healthy should be able to navigate the surroundings easily. Low season was a dream… Thank you, Serendipity. X, Sam

Perfect resort, main swimming pool was brilliant located near beach for quick dips into sea, pool bar was a bonus, staff were amazing, swim up pool room was great, room was good size and comfortable we had extra bed for child aged 11 and was perfect.. excellent location close to walking street Only bad bit was there was a smell from neighbouring complex as we walked to our room, but can’t complain as it’s not this hotels fault Room had joining doors and on first night there was a lot of noise from room next door, but reception called them without issue and they did quiet down to an acceptable level..

Beautiful little gem right on the mountain top of Koh Lipe. It has an amazing view from the restaurant and amazing view from room (we booked the one with sea view and did not disappoint!) Unfortunately there are some unused facilities, but I do think that this resort has huge potential could soon be a 5 star!! Staff are kind and helpful, even though sometimes they can’t understand, I guess they deal mostly with Thai tourists but you can understand them easily. Restaurant only serves breakfast (free!) and lunch which is good enough as from 6pm they have free shuttle that takes you to the walking street where you can easily find somewhere to have dinner. Will definitely come back ❤️

Looks quite new compared to other hotels, a/c works all the time even when you go out and take a card key which is very nice. And it cools down the room incredibly, a must in April and May. We liked the room but there’s an area for improvement: you can see some impurities here and there: old bedsheets with stains, the tub in the bathroom with some part falling off. They are not big, but better to fix them. The breakfast is amazing, a lot of options, even the noodles station, the roti station, ice cream and bloodie mary station hahaha A lot of good fruits such as rambutan, passion fruits, etc. not just watermelon and dragon fruits like at other hotels across Thailand. Sunrise beach itself is a bit disappointing because of the amount of boats there and almost no place to swim but this hotel has the designated beach where you can enjoy swimming and definitely some good sunsets. Overall it’s a good place to stay for more than a day if you want to stay at the sunrise Beach area, but my personal favorite is the North pole beach (20-25 min walk along the beach). Things to improve: - service staff should be careful with bags, I know they try to be helpful but one of the guys broke a handle of my carry on bag. - Starbacks cafe on the beach — this is a disaster, they advertise other as a Starbucks coffee shop, with the original drinks and recipes but for 180 thb they will give you iced milk instead of iced cappuccino. Better to buy some good medium roast beans from the Borth of Thailand and serve proper coffee. You don’t need that Starbucks brand definitely.

It is situated between sunrise and sunset beaches with small but beautiful private beach with island view and golden sand. We had a parter pull view room. It was modern fubrished but with a zing of Thai elements. Very clean and filled with everything you could need. Staff is very helpful! Hotel picked us up from the speedboat and also gave us a ride back. Breakfasts are very European( which can be a plus or minus depends on your need) , so if you would like to try something local you need to go out outside. We had a chance to see most of the hotels on the island and this one is our favourite by a mile!

It was ok for us. Nothing like the photos but it works. We had a room at the beach front villa. It was was a fee steps to the beach. Great location on Pattaya beach. Quiet side of the beach. Walking distance to Walking Street. We had AC and hot water. Rooms older but it was cleaned. Breakfast was just alright but it was nice having breakfast outside by the beach. We did encountered poor wifi, broken towel hangers in the shower, shower pressure low and our blanket was strapped in so tight underneath the bed that I can’t pull the blanket passed stomach. I either moved my pillows half way and stick my feet off the bed or slept kind of side way. First night there was -maybe a rat running across the room and then to the table below the TV dropping card keys, bag, trying to eat my wrapped chocolate bar. Will I stay here again? Probably not unless I do last minute bookings again.

Brokasa is the first-class hotel on Lipe Island, second only to Irene next to it, but the location is better than Irene, right on the beautiful Tail Beach. The hotel price includes a relatively delicious breakfast, free taxis to go out at any time before 6 pm, free use of kayaks, free minibar, free capsule coffee machine, more complete toiletries, etc., so, on the whole, the high price is also reasonable. The service staff and residents of the entire Lipe Island are relatively enthusiastic. Before coming, I saw the bad reviews of the hotel, and I was always nervous. After staying here, I felt that this hotel was not a thunder. The service was very good, and it was also very enthusiastic without tipping. The room was large, the round bed was large, and it was enough for two adults and one child. Children under 12 years old have 360🐷 a night with breakfast, and the air conditioning is sufficient. The hotel has two rows of ”single-family villas”. The first row has an infinity pool by the sea, and the second row is a few steps to the sea. I thought the swimming pool was public. I went to someone else's swimming pool on the first day and was complained. It was a bit embarrassing. To the right of Brokasa is the Zodiac (it’s relatively old, but the Zodiac beach bar is very atmospheric and there are fire shows at night). Next to the Zodiac is Irene, the most expensive hotel in Koh Lipe with the best facilities.

Gorgeous! Let’s break it down: Room - we stayed in the deluxe Balinese hut and loved it. Didn’t have the outdoor shower like the Pattaya Mali but huge and clean. If I’m being super picky the shower could do with a bit more power but it is a small hotel on a small island so it’s fine! Comfy beds and regular fresh towels provided. Pool - we usually don’t use the pool as we are beach bums but it was THE perfect temperature. Very refreshing and cooling in the hot sun, with lovely foliage around giving a tropical vibe. Beach - stunning Lipe beach. As with most beaches on Lipe you do get the long tail boats parked out the front, but definitely more quiet than Pattaya side. Tide goes right out and exposes a lot of coral so beware if exploring. Loved the complimentary paddle boards and snorkels! Food - really good. Good choice for breakfast and ate most lunches here. Recommend the Massaman curry! Overall a beautiful tropical paradise. We would recommend and want to stay at the other Mali too! One thing: bring mozzie repellant.. the island seemed to be teeming with them!
