Hotel Reviews by diveeasy

SAii Phi Phi Island Village

Private Palm Groves and Thrilling Speedboat Arrivals

"Nestled in the secluded Loh Ba Gao Bay across 70 acres of coconut palm groves, this resort features traditional Thai bungalows and opulent pool villas along an 800-meter private white sand beach. The arrival transition involves a well-organized Phuket lounge leading to a thrilling speedboat ride. The rooms are elegant sanctuaries of comfort, and the API specialty restaurant serves excellent dishes. Navigating the massive estate means a pleasant morning walk to breakfast, and the main restaurant food is basic, but the overall experience is straight out of a dream."

"Every staff member we encountered was warm, helpful, and eager to make our stay delightful. As a gay couple, we felt entirely safe and welcome. The deep privacy of the bungalows, combined with private boat excursions to Maya Bay, makes it an exceptional island sanctuary."

The overall vibe and the sense of absolute tranquility leave you speechless, complemented by excellent food and beautiful rooms.
