Wow! We loved this resort. Having spent a week in an unfriendly resort elsewhere on Koh Samui, it was literally a breath of fresh air when we stumbled upon this little paradise. Lipa Lovely is on the west coast which is much quieter and away from the madness of the bustling beaches of Chaweng and Lamai on the east. We... more

Excellent location if you want some peace and quiet next to the beach with friendly staff and always seems quiet. Its not 5 star but doesnt pretend to be. Rooms are clean, confortable and AC good. Food is excellent and prices on par with similar resorts (higher than local, street side cafes though). Food prices are clearly marked and the... more

This place is a total ripoff, especially the restaurent. The charge 100% more than other restaurents for basic Thai food. The menu says "100 bahts - Pad Thai with Chicken", but then they add a 80% service charge (yes 80%) and we ended up paying 180 baht a pad thai, witch by the way was disgusting. The setting is wonderfull,... more

We booked the room through last minute website and it was fantastic value. The resort was very quiet, perhaps due to airport closure, and we were upgraded to a delux bungalow. The rooms are fantastic, spacious and very clean. The pool is excellent and staff service was mostly great. On the first night we ate there and were very disappointed.... more

Lipa Lovely was really hard for my husband and I to rate. The hotel isn't very expensive, so you kind of get what you pay for. The wedding was perfect. Especially for the price. Kan the wedding planner was awesome. I would highly recommend their wedding package if you are looking for something simple and very affordable. The beach isn't... more

We travelled to the hotel at quite short notice, the booking having been done by another guest who is resident in Thailand. We enjoyed our stay overall but, sadly, reality didn't quite match up to the pictures on the website. The beach was dirty and covered in rubbish including glass and used needles - not good as we had a... more

We stayed at the Lipa Lovely Resort in February 2008 having eaten at Big John's Seafood Restaurant during a previous visit to Samui. The resort is on a lovely stretch of coastline with a nice quiet beach and gently shelving sand for safe bathing. The resort faces due west so you can see some great sunsets. We were disappointed with... more

I didnt see any positive reviews about this place before I booked it, people were moaning about the beach and a few other things but it recently got taken over and changed its name to Lipa Lovely Resort and we took a chance on it. I am glad we did and am now of the opinion that some people go... more

We stayed at Big John's as it was known prior to our wedding. Our room was in Big John 2 right on the beach (literally about four steps from our front door) and whilst the room wasn't flash, it had a comfortable bed, fridge, tea & coffee, bath & shower and a lovely outlook over the ocean. We could sit... more
