Gipsy Bungalows
Chilled out cabanas
What we say: 
With its relaxed atmosphere and comfortable bungalows at very good prices, Spanish-managed Gipsy is one of the better budget options on Ko Lipe. All bungalows are set facing each other in two rows, with the older, bamboo bungalows featuring big beds draped in mosquito netting, and a few sweet decorative elements -- the sunny open-air cold water bathrooms are a particularly nice touch. Newer concrete bungalows are larger, and with their decorative blue tile floors they stay cool even when it's scorching hot outside. Gipsy has a relaxed little restaurant area by the beach, and overall it's a great option for just hanging out and taking it easy. It can be a little difficult to track down management, but their casual attitude is just part of the easy-going vibe. As an added bonus, Gipsy's high season runs only from December 15 to March 1, so if coming in the shoulder months it's unbeatable value. Recommended.

nice place!!
this is a very nice resort in koh lipe, right on sunrise beach. we had a small bungalow (600 baht), big enough for 2 people with an 'open air' bathroom (you're bathing in moonlight if you visit the toilet in the night ;-) ). the staff is very friendly, and the food in their own restaurant very good! we decided to stay 4 more night in gipsy, as the island and this resort was so nice to spend more time of our holidays here. we will be here again the next time we travel around thailand!

Nice, chilled-out place
We stayed at Gypsy Bungalows in the shoulder season (Nov 09), so we were pretty much the only people staying there at that time. We stayed in a traditional thatched bungalow (450B) with mosquito net, fan and outside bathroom with cold-water shower- so relatively basic. From our admittedly brief look around the island, it seemed to be about the cheapest place, at least on the beach (although not RIGHT on the beach). It's fairly new and when we were there they were still building new huts, as well as a beachfront bar/restaurant area. Staff were friendly, English a BIT limited but OK and it seemed more 'local' and down-to-earth than surrounding resorts.
