You've seen the movie, now experience the resort. Actually, this place had nothing whatsoever to do with the movie and we doubt highly that Leonardo DiCaprio has ever stayed here, but who's watching? What you will find in residence are large tour groups scampering around in flip-flops under the supervision of a talkative guide. It was erected post-tsunami, and the energetic, ambitious owner seems determined to put the place on the map. There couldn't be a starker contrast between this place and neighbouring Long Beach. Staff here are well-dressed, courteous and attentive. The on-site restaurant serves international fare designed to comfort the palates of guests wherever they hail from in the world, which seems to attract a lot of patrons staying elsewhere on the beach. The gorgeous pool sits beside the restaurant and has a classy bar nearby. The 40 bungalows are stunning, perched high up on the hillside with breathtaking views. They are solid teak and have spacious private balconies. All rooms have air-con and private bath. They get booked up quickly, especially in high season, so get in early. Recent price increases have done little to dampen enthusiasm for one of Phi Phi's gems.

Awful Experience - 2nd September, 2009
Did the Travelfish reviewers actually go to this place? HORRIBLE. Longtail boat picked us up at the ferry but made us wait an hour to see if others showed up to take the ride with us to the hotel (noone did). When we finally arrived, we saw the rinky dink restaurant/bar area and tiny, lackluster pool. With such beautiful natural surroundings, you would think they would try a bit harder to design the hotel grounds. Our bungalow had no view, an old, tiny and very grungy bathroom, and about a hundred mosquitos festering outside of our front door. We asked the front desk to see a different room, letting them know that $89 a night (in the low season) renders nicer accommodations. The receptionist said that we would need to pay more if we wanted a nice room. Rude and unhelpful staff. We got a refund and left immidiately. The receptionist did not seem to care about losing customers even though the ''resort'' was basically empty. No wonder. Not worth the trouble when you're in Ko Phi Phi. We went to the Phi Phi Island Village Resort and for the same price stayed in a gorgeous bungalow on a private stretch of beach. Do yourself a favor and save yourself from the disappointment that is Phi Phi The Beach Resort.
