About the hotel:
This was a very good hotel with friendly and service minded staff. The location was close to the main street in Ao Nang, and was within a short walking distance to the beach. Our room was doublebooked for the two first days, but we were upgraded to a better room so this was not a problem.

About the hotel:
We made reservation for the bungalow but unfortunately this was a disappointment compared to the internet! So we uppgraded our room to a deluxe and that was fantastic! The hotel is perfect situated and very friendly and helpful staff. The poolarea is however pretty small and some days it was not possible to find a bed there unless you were very early. The hotel also have a very nice restaurant with good food and nice staff.
About the reservation service:
Very good even if the internet site promised more about the rooms in the bungalows...

About the hotel:
Great location up on the edge of jungle and just steps from the waterfront. We stayed in the teak bungalow that was beautiful with cute little tree chipmunk type things running all over the place! Very steep climb to the teak bungalows at the top of the resort - a hard slog after a number of trips up and down each day but well worth it. Food quite good and the brekky buffet generous and delicious. Bar a little expensive and the cocktails just so-so. Staff are wonderful and very friendly. One issue was the pool - was green and not swimmable when we were there.

Great!

About the hotel:
My experience at Tipa was not pleasant. The resort it self looks nice from the outside, however the bungalow I stayed in was very run down. I paid 3500 baht per night and for that money in Thailand I expected a better quality room. I have stayed in many accommodations in Thailand and this resort was far the worst I have stayed in. The flyscreen was ripped, the decor was very old, the bathroom tiles were very mouldy and the toilet very dirty. I complained to the staff and they were not helpful. I was forced to pay 2,000 baht for a gala dinner which was the food wasn t very good. Total waste of money. I would not recommend anyone to stay at this resort.

About the hotel:
We were orginallly given the most filthy/vile room I ve ever seen, it made Motel 6 look like a 5* hotel. When we checked in the front desk asked for room payment even though we presented them with the Sawadee payment voucher. We then were given our bungalow and I can not express how filthy this bungalow was - the walls looked like they d been whitewashed only about 10 years ago and were now stained brown. The fabric headboard was stained with what looked like bodily fluids. The curtains were threadbare and aged yellow with huge stains. The towels were so old they were gray. There were bugs everywhere in the room. There was a dirty very very old fridge in the room. The floors, bathroom, etc. were unclean. We complained and were told that this was the room we had booked even though it did not fit the description on the website at all. They told us the description was for a teak bungalow and not the regular bungalow and that there was nothing they could do. Although the bungalows were slightly cheaper in price we had booked the bungalow because they sounded nicer than the regular rooms. After returning to our room once again, we knew there was no way we could stay in this room, we were actually afaid of getting a disease from it due to the filth. We went back and complained of the filth and another clerk finally moved us to a deluxe room. This room was fine except for half the lights were burned out and we had a totally cold shower everyday. We did not mention these problems since the front desk was rude to us after they moved us. It also seems like they have a scam going where the safes in the rooms break and then they charge you to open the save. The grounds were very nice and it was a lovely setting. If we would have been given the deluxe room to start with or a bungalow in that condition we would have been happy with the experience. However, the first bungalow we were given ruined our experience because it was so appalling.

The hotel tried to double charge us thru no fault of sawadee.com.

but yet within a few minutes walking distance to Ao Nang beach. |
