Description
Relax Beach Resort has well-designed and well-maintained bungalows in a very pretty setting along the beach. They don't exactly charge backpacker prices, but this is a great little place to stay if you're looking for an out-of-the-way bungalow experience with a bit more polish and comfort. All the bungalows are sturdy, with hardwood floors and good attention to detail -- each with a very decent private bathroom attached to the back of it. There's also cute little day beds attached to the front of the hut, great for lounging in the breeze during the hot day. The bar/restaurant has a very pleasant character, with a raised platform full of mats and cushions for chilling. Whilst all the rooms have a fan, bear in mind that the electric gets switched on at 18:00. But if you occupy yourself at the bar past the witching hour, they mercifully keep it running for a couple hours after people go to bed -- usually until about 03:00. The staff are welcoming, particularly Andrew, a Burmese guy who adds that little spark that some places lack.

A beautiful, secluded paradise -

My girlfriend and I stayed here three weeks ago and wish we were still there. We arrived at Ton Sai pier and were greeted by one of the resort staff, shortly after they take you to the resort by long tail boat which takes about 30 mins. The rooms are basic though they are fairly big and clean. No hot water full stop and no electricity till the sun goes down. The beds are comfortable and have a full mosquito net (no brown, lumpy pillows here). The restaurant area is spot on, great food, it almost feels like a Thai home from home with the relaxed, chilled out atmosphere. The bar here will also make any cocktail possible, and if 'Guy' the barman doesnt know how to, you can get behind the bar and do it yourself. Other facilities include internet, beach games, taxi boat to tonsai in morning and afternoon, arranged day trips and snorkelling. As it was the low season we didn't have trouble booking. Much nicer than busy town. A must visit for people seeking the real Phi Phi and great service.

We spent six weeks in Thailand and visited four different islands. We liked Phi Phi Relax Beach Resort the best. The name describes the best this resort. There are presently 18 bungalows situated on a beautiful sandy beach. They all have a sea view. This is the only resort in Pak Nam bay. The resort's long boat goes twice a day to Ton Sai if you want to go shopping or have some noisy fun. Snorkeling is great. You don't have to take an excursion as the best snorkeling is at your front door. Food was good and the staff very friendly. If you want to get away from it all this is the best place. You can socialise with a nice group of people or chose to be left alone to enjoy this great resort and its beach. I strongly recommend it.

Staff friendly and efficient, English good, great service. Bit expensive but worth it, especially for what you get, bungalows in second row are bit cheaper and just as good as front row. You get your own bungalow, spacious and has a balcony and unit was spotless. Bed was good and firm with decent pillows, towels good. Quiet. The bar played some music at night but not till too late. Bathroom bit dark but clean and pretty big, non-flush western toilet and cold shower. Our bungalow had two electrical outlets, the electricity at the resort is only switched on once it gets dark though. No internet facilities but plenty of internet cafes are in Ko Phi Phi town. Only one restaurant, bit pricy but well worth the expense, big portions and excellent food. The bar serves the best cocktails and fruit shakes we had while in Thailand. You run a tab during your stay and pay for everything once you leave. Cheap laundry service available. No international payphone at resort but plenty at Ko Phi Phi town. Much better option than staying in town, there's only about 20 bungalows so even when the resort is full you don't feel overrun by tourists and you have a good stretch of beach which is never packed.
