Located in the middle of the beach, this place is sometimes referred to as Paradise Family because it specialises in rooms that sleep three or four people. The resort has been built with a subtle eye. The rooms we saw were spacious, clean and well-furnished, and the staff were extremely efficient and friendly. It's popular, and not a bad choice for families looking to stay on Long Beach. When we passed by in low season it was already full so be sure to book in advance. Possibly the best location, smack in the centre of Long Beach, however it isn't the best value in the area.

Great location-slightly tatty - 25th August, 2007
Location, location is the name of the game here - our air-con bungalow was absolutely beach-front with a nice little sitting area overlooking the path a few metres from the sand plus big bifold doors to give a inside/outside pavilion effect. Nice sitting there during a wet season rain storms and watching the passing parade of people, longtails etc. But the bungalows at 1,400B low season were nothing special -- spacious, tiled floor, comfy bed, good air-con, wall safe, okay hot water but slightly tatty and pretty poorly cleaned when we moved in. Paradise also had their restaurant and internet closed - however Pearl's excellent facilities were very close. Pearl has separate ownership now. More impressive was the amount of staff devoted to keeping the grounds and beach litter free, a tough job after a wind storm blows all the leaves and fruit down. Note Long Beach picks up a fair bit of wind and chop wet season - it ain't quite as serene as in dry season. Still the best beach close to town.

fantastic spot on the beach - 26th February, 2007
The bathroom of our bungalow could have done with a few bottles of bleach. And it was not great value for money, but it was a fantastic location!

Great bungalow + location - 19th September, 2007
We stayed at Phi Phi hill for our first night on long beach but then quickly moved out and into Paradise Resort, what an improvement. We paid 1,100B and got a big, concrete bungalow with a huge and highly effective fan, two big beds, tiled floor throughout and clean. The bathroom was ok, nothing special, shower was powerful and worked well. Location couldn't be beaten, it's half way down long beach and the bungalows are about 30 seconds walk away from the white sand. Very friendly staff, a great bonus was the resort has a huge flat screen tv which shows live premiership/champs league games! Only downside was that the swimming at long beach is quite poor,it's ok to go 4 a dip but no real swimming as there's too many rocks as well as lots of boats. On a previous trip to Phi Phi (pre tsumani)I stayed at loh dalam and the swimming there was far better. Depending on how the rebuilding is going next time I would stay there instead because you can walk into town in 5 minutes from LD
