Having traveled throughout Thailand, including a number of other Islands, Bay View Resort was by far the worst. After finding that our hotel room had already been occupied by another family, we walked back down the steep sidewalk breathing in the wonderful smell of raw sewage. One of the best parts of Thailand is how wonderful the people are...not here.... more

We went to phi phi in August 2009, and were very skeptical about the acco, as that could make or spoil our trip, even so because we had chosen a relatively in-expensive one, compared to the Big brands around.. But what we got was more than we hoped. Firstly, we took the Super deluxe room (the front row villas), so... more

Stayed on Phi Phi for two nights and chose the Bayview mainly for the location. Only a very short long boat trip from the pier then you jump off into the sea which I think adds to the feel of island living. It would be a shame to add a pier here. The location is ideal. Within walking distance to... more

There's one exception to every rule and I found it at Bay View. Whilst the rest of Thailand smiles and is very welcoming and friendly I found the staff here rude to begin with, then indifferent. Lots of confusion surrounded my booking and it all appeared to be my problem to solve despite being on their booking list and my... more

Ok sooo, the pool sucks, but luckily you are right on a beautiful beach so it doesn't matter. The breakfast buffet is excellent. The location is good - its in the main area on Phi Phi, buts its on the opposite end from where the boats drop u off so its a bit of a hike when u first get... more

PROS Good pick-up service. Upon arrival to PhiPhi Don you will be picked-up by Meeting person and transfered to hotel by LongTail boat. And your luggage to be handled and brought to Reception Desk. But there's no jetty/wharf so you'll jump into shallow water. Check-in takes few seconds We stayed in Deluxe Villa B212 and the seaview and PhiPhi Le... more

Booked online and after reading other reviews. Also liked the idea of being on a hill with (hopefully) great views and away from the main town area for the quiet. Had read stories of a long uphill climb with heavy bags - but ours were carried both ways. The view was amazing and the mini bar prices excellend - not... more

We choose Bay View after it was recommended by another traveller on Trip Advisor and it turned out to be a perfect choice. We arranged through Bay View a pick-up from Phuket airport to Phi Phi. The driver was waiting for us when we arrived and took us to the ferry. On arrival at Phi Phi the bags were taken... more

We booked though the Adventure Club, and got a good price for the room and some diving, with transfers from Phuket airport by car and ferry. Everything went very smoothly, we got to the main pier on Tonsai bay, and found the hotel representative. He checked us off on a list, organised our luggage and ourselves onto a boat, and... more
