Idyllic Concept Resort

The property, cleanliness and attitude to making your stay hospitable is first class. Every department exceeds expectations.

Beautiful hotel in a nice part of Sunrise Beach. Breakfast, staff, rooms everything was 10/10. I couldn't fault a thing about the hotel.

Our beachfront room was lovely with views out to the grass area and the beach and sea. Nice big bed and bathroom with a walk in rain shower. Perfect for Breakfast as it was opposite the room and near the bar and pool too. As opposed to most of the rooms that were set further back and up the stairs towards reception. It was at the end of Sunrise Beach but we enjoyed walking along trying the different places for lunch. In the evening we walked towards Walking Street which was only a 10min walk or you could get a Tuk Tuk. We would definitely come back, we had a great time.

We stayed for 4 nights as part of our Thailand tour - could have stayed their for 2 weeks. Hotel is clean , staff are great, breach front , breakfast is awesome. We had a pool view room without a pool view but when we asked they did move us. Rooms are a good size . Would definitely go back.

We loved our 4 nights here. Everywhere is spotless and modern and the staff cannot do enough to make your stay enjoyable. Breakfast is plentiful and interesting, happy hour drinks are great value (finally ticked off the swim up bar off the bucket list) and the order to lounger drink & lunch service is great! We stayed in a garden cabana which was spacious and beautiful. Sun hats, beach bag and towels are provided … nice touch. We took advantage of the shuttle to walking street each night and loved the madness and vibrancy of the place. We did the inner island snorkel tour organised by the activities desk. Great day with unbelievable snorkelling with colourful fish. Huge Bento lunch and lots of water provided. Very good value. Would definitely recommend staying here, close enough to the fun of the centre but far enough for peace. Be aware that there are a lot of steps between reception and the beach so may not suit those less able.

Fantastic return visit to the Idyllic! All the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Beautiful location. Rooms are well designed. We booked a 'pool view room with bath tub'. Unfortunately we did have to move rooms to noisy air conditional units next to our room had a oud continuous buzzing which affected our sleep (avoid room 510 because they couldn't resolve the issue), but the hotel was very helpful and we move to room 506 soon after we highlighted the issue. I would recommend the hotel reviews their sun loungers and replaces the broken ones (only a small number). I think we were there when the hotel was at full capacity. The workers did their best to accommodate and even try to fix some broken loungers, but it would be a far better experience if the broken loungers were replaced as well as some of the parasols that have seen better days! Even so, they were very comfy! The resort is generally well maintained and the above did not take away from a fabulous experience. I would like so mention four individuals that made our stay that extra bit special; On, Reena, Mia and Nan. All four of these individuals had a positive impact on our stay, their warmness and genuine desire to do a good job and look after their guests was so very obvious, so thank you to them all :-)

We had booked a room with direct pool access, and the room was really large, spacious, and beautiful with a lovely view over one of the pools. However, there was no direct pool access, which we found a bit strange. Nice hotel with an okay breakfast, though with a few shortcomings. For example, there was no yogurt, and the egg station was very slow. Beautiful beach area with a very peaceful atmosphere, and there were enough sunbeds for everyone, which is a huge plus! The hotel offers a shuttle to Walking Street at 6 pm and back again at 8 pm. In a perfect world, this would run several times in the evening, as it’s not really possible to walk to Walking Street. The largest fitness center we have ever seen at a hotel . The island in general is very touristy, and it is probably the dirtiest island in Thailand that we have visited.

Wonderful hotel and great service. I was there with my old father and my husband. Despite the difficult situation created by the agency (my father is on wheelchair and the Hotel has at least 60 steps from the lobby to the beach, restaurant and bar) they has been able to manage the situation in the best possible way. We have been assigned into 2 nice rooms by the see and porters were so helpful to carry my father up and down when needed We had a wonderful stay. Breakfast is amazing, fresh and various. Roti made fresh by order are simply unbelievable We had also nice lunches and dinner A very special thanks to Mia and Na who takes cares of us in the most special way you can imagine ! The beach is really nice (a bit windy in the night). Everything is very closed by local tuk tuk We really hope to be you also next year

This was our second visit to the Idyllic, we love the position of the hotel straight on the beach. Our room was kept very clean and there was staff tending the gardens everyday. Breakfast was very nice with Asian and European food available. We didn’t eat every night in the Hôtel restaurant as it was windy some evenings, but the nights we did eat the staff were lovely and remembered what we drank . Nan who works in the restaurant is this hotel biggest asset, watching her speaking to everyone on the beach barbecue night was how all staff in hotels she should be. We hope to return again next year

The right name. This place is conceptually idyllic. By a beautiful beach with pools and a lovely cafe. The breakfast was delicious and the home made roti deserves its own (glowing) review. The rooms have almost no privacy. They are right on top of each other. The decor is worn and dated in places. Our room had a leak in the ceiling, dust in the bath and the last night we were woken at 3am by the air conditioner dripping on our bed. The pools are small and cold. One had stuff floating in it when we arrived. Next to one there is a flat roof with standing water which attracts bugs. Behind it there is rubbish dumped. The food is the most expensive we came across on the island and far from the best. Most staff really don’t speak English so it is hard to communicate or ask for anything. We had a lovely time and loved the island but if we came again we would opt for one of the “three star” like castaway which seemed better maintained and staffed.

Difficult to review. Why? Any review must factor the cost paid. We paid a similar cost as a five star central London hotel, so expect a very high standard. But…. This is a tiny island with basic facilities and it was peak season; economics dictate as demand falls prices rise. Facts are constant however. Location - Beach front and great views for those lucky enough to have a sea view, from the limited beach facing rooms. We had a pool view mini suite, spacious with a small sofa area. Sun-beds on the beach. Sand not as perfect as found outside 10 Moons hotel. Easy stroll to bars & restaurants on central walking street. Rooms - Modern, spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable, TV, coffee making, stocked fridge with free filtered water, safe, great a/c, small wardrobe but no drawer space, European plug sockets. Iron and board available from Reception. Bathroom with large walk-in shower having 2 heads - one rainfall, basic toiletries and reasonable hairdryer. Food - Beach restaurant at night is popular and great quality. Insect repellant is a must. Breakfast buffet had a great selection. Externally we recommend Box for Spanish food & wine. Amenities - Strong WiFi, two nice pools with one beach facing. Gym over 2 floors and spa. Service - Excellent, everyone was really friendly and helpful, resort kept very clean. Condition - The hotel has been designed well and if you glance it looks great but closer inspection reveals poor quality materials and workmanship. Examples: bare wires, lots of chipped and discoloured tiles, sockets hanging out of walls etc. Best not to look too close. Summary - Not cheap. Ko Lipe was at full capacity, so was way over crowded compared to our first visit a few years ago. We wouldn’t return at Xmas due to the over crowding. It is however a small beautiful island from the front facing side, albeit a filthy untidy dumping ground behind the scenes on the back routes

We were travelling around Thailand, this was our 4th stay. I'd come from Koh Mook, so I was surprised how different the island was. The room was ok, clean and quite large. I unfortunately wasn't that impressed with breakfast, for the number of people in the hotel - I feel maybe they should have had a bigger area. I didn't think people needed to be told that breakfast was finishing in 10 minutes; it wasn't as relaxed as previous ones. The sea and views were absolutely amazing, stunning! Although so much building has happened on the island they haven't had time to remove alot of the leftover materials (I realise this must be difficult)

Exceptional resort and staff. Wonderful experience. Couldn't have asked for more. Great location on sunrise beach. Must book. Great value.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Although I wasn’t able to stay at Idyllic Concept Resort this time because it was fully booked, I still made sure to visit for dining and drinks as I always do. Every visit reminds me why Idyllic is one of the most special places on Koh Lipe. The atmosphere is peaceful and beautifully set by the sea, the food and cocktails are consistently excellent, and the service is always warm and attentive. A special thank-you to N’On and the management team for their professionalism and genuine hospitality, and to N’Mon for always providing service with a smile — you truly brighten every visit. Even when I’m not staying overnight, I always feel like part of the Idyllic family. Thank you all for making every experience so memorable. I’m already looking forward to returning soon — and hopefully staying next time! 🌴💫

I have no idea how Idllyic rates as highly as it does. And I’ve stayed at 5 different hotels on Koh Lipe, so I’ve got a good basis for local comparison. It’s not *bad* - the problem is that it’s positioned and priced as a premium option when the reality is in many ways non-premium. It looks kind of fancy on the outside, but that’s a veneer. Basically, it’s bad *value*. If they positioned as mid-range and charged half as much as they do I’d be giving it 8/10 & be pretty happy. But for what it is, and what they charge, it’s a disappointing 4/10. The good: The beach is beautiful. This end of Sunrise Beach is one of the nicer spots. Lots of sun-lounges placed on/near the actual beach, which can be lacking at some places. Staff are friendly and helpful. Not as proactive as I’ve experienced elsewhere (which is probably a management issue) - but they’re still good. The setting / gardens are quite nice, albeit feel a bit cramped - lots of big buildings in a small space. The bad: While in general I’d rate the cleanliness of the place as high, there were several large & obvious stains on the duvet (very visible through a (clean) top sheet). The room (a “Deluxe Cabana Garden View”) was quite small for the price. The place I stayed on Koh Lipe immediately prior - which was leagues better in every way - about 25% more money got me a (much nicer) room ~3x the size. Room was looking pretty tired & quite poorly maintained. Particularly the bathroom. Multiple rain leaks in the shower ceiling/walls - one above the towel rain, and combined they splash water all over the bathroom floor. Cracked perspex panels & rotted wood trims in the bathroom, poorly applied caulk & overpaint, water stains, etc. Both doors jam in their frames. The sort of rooms that probably looked/were amazing when new, but not any more. Shower doesn’t drain properly & often lets out septic-tank-smells. Not uncommon for accom on a small island like Lipe, and not the end of the world, but I would’ve expected better for the price. Plus a (fresh water) leak from a hose connected to the toilet. Food & drink prices are obscene for Thailand, even by the standards of higher-end places on Lipe. And to add insult the food items I tried were average. It’s also literally the only place I’ve stayed (or eaten) on Lipe which adds VAT & a 10% service charge - that I have zero confidence is actually going to the staff - on top of prices. Which just feels cheap & petty. Charge what you’re going to charge - but just list what the total cost is going to be. Breakfast buffet is disappointing - variety is poor (for the price point), food isn’t great, and any “hot” food that’s not cooked specifically for you will be cold. The annoying: They practically force you to install their app, nominally to allow messaging with the hotel staff. And it does do that. But they also use it to spam you with constant push notifications trying to get you to buy stuff. They’ve sent 7 *so far* just today. And there’s no way to turn them off. The fact they don’t have a way to disable promotions says a lot about the place I think. The rooms are really poorly *designed*, eg: One accessible powerpoint in the entire room (outside the bathroom) - and it has the switch & plug so close that you can’t plug a phone charger into it. There isn’t even a power point for the kettle. The chandelier-lamps in the room act like wind chimes with the AC on. So you can either have a cool room, or have a constant jangling noise. Very hard & uncomfortable mattresses (a bit subjective, but these are *hard*). One small towel rail in the whole bathroom/room. Good luck if you want to hang two bath towels - or even a hand towel - or want to dry your swimsuit inside. I’ll finish reiterating what I said at the start - this place isn’t *bad*. It’s just not particularly good, in a whole myriad of ways, while pitching & pricing itself like it’s great. You can do far better for the same (actually, less) money.

I had a wonderful stay here at the Idyllic Concept Resort. The staff were lovely and welcoming. I picked a beach facing room and it was really nice and close to the beach. I went in the low season, so it was a lot quieter in and around the resort. But that was what I wanted. The resort is on the Sunrise side of Ko Lipe, and its only about a 20 minute walk up the beach from the Sunset side of the island. I would not go through the town, as it was easier to walk along the beach to the western facing beach where I watched the sunset in the evenings. From June onwards, the island does kind of begin to shut down, so while many of the restaurants on the island were still open, there was hardly any customers most of the time. That was fine for me, as I wanted to spend time by the beach within the hotel complex. Special thanks for making my stay here so enjoyable to Hannah from the Front Desk. And Alim the waiter at the Beach Bar who kept me 'hydrated' and fed.

Relaxing and beautiful place with friendly staff and excellent food, especially the breakfast. Make sure that you get one of the newly renovated rooms - they are very nice. We can also recommend boat trips to surrounding islands. The freediving is awesome, check with the local boat taxis. This is our second stay and we will be coming back again!

The staff are very nice and friendly. The room was not clean properly. Good restaurant on site. Lovely beach right in front of hotel property

We loved our stay at the Idyllic and would highly recommend it. Excellent breakfast, lovely room and great views from the beachside pool and the beach itself. However, the absolute highlight was dinner on the beach at night in the hotel's restaurant...beautiful ambiance and some of the best food we have had in Thailand!

the goods location is great. the beach area is quite private. not too far from the walking street. the gym is great, especially on such a small island. one of the best resort gym I have visited in Asia. the resort spa is fine, and the private snorkeling trip is fine and fairly priced. the oks the resort food is just ok. breakfast was ok. but the cocktails are fine and the Starbucks coffees are not bad. the bads rooms are getting worn, or maybe just poor maintenance. the first room 306 (pool view suite) had a few issues, aircon wasn't cold enough. hot water wasn't consistent and pressure was low. there was a bath tub in room, but pressure was even lower there where it would never finish filling the tub. and worst, there are a lot of dirty sediments in the water. complained to reception and they changed us to another room across the pool (403). they claimed it's the same room type but the 2 room layouts are so different and the 2nd one looked much smaller. we had no choice but to change. but the 2nd room was not better too. water pressure was slightly better and aircon is just slightly cooler. but it was so loud at night. the dirty water sediments were still there. so even we paid premium for the bath tub room, it was not usable at all. the front desk staffs were just trying to do their job but weren't really doing enough to save the bad experience.

Beautiful property. Lucked out, I suppose, and got the room in the picture, right on the beach. Lovely.

This review will be a bit of a rollercoaster but it has a happy ending. We booked a junior suite with a pool view for our family of four (kids aged 2.5 and 6 months old). Firstly I would say that had I seen the hotel prior to booking and its particular layout I’d say it’s not the most suitable for babies; this is due to the fact that it’s absolutely not pram friendly and there isn’t a heap of shade for them (there are shady spots though). It’s also not super easy to walk into Walking Street with them (heat, sun and lack of pram access). In retrospect we could’ve just got a cheap taxi into the town but was honestly just a bit hot for our kids and front packing too. In saying all of this I’m absolutely glad we came though as Idyllic Concept Resort ended up being the highlight of our 3.5 SE Asia trip and I’d love to come back and take full advantage of the island and resort with kids about 5+. Onto the review however, we initially booked room 404 as above. We then requested to move as there were just too many stairs to negotiate with a toddler and a front packed baby and it was too far from the beach and restaurants, this was a great decision and absolutely worth the additional cost per room. We moved to room 222 which was above the restaurant with a deck and the layout worked well with the baby in a shut off wardrobe in her cot. Our son was on a mattress on the floor and had his own zone. Both slept really well and I wish we’d been able to enjoy this room from the beginning of the trip (it was booked). The real highlight of the trip were the amazing beach that the hotel sits on and the hotel team. At first I was a bit dismayed by all the long tail boats but actually Idyllic has one of the most uninterrupted spots as does the next door resort Ten Moons where we had a drink one evening. The water was clear, so warm and exactly what I imagined a Thailand beach to be. I know a lot of people complain about the rubbish on Koh Lipe beaches but this was one was very well kept and maintained. Moreso than that though were the staff. Ploy, Aon, the bar man with glasses (him and his team made such great cocktails) as well as all the bar and restaurant waitresses were so warm, funny and welcoming-they create the best atmosphere. Above all my husband and I were touched at how genuinely interested and caring they were with our kids; drawing with them, playing with them, taking them to feed the cats. They absolutely made our stay. Lastly, as I’m always interested in the food. The restaurant did great Thai food (especially the mango sticky rice, papaya salad, the fried rice which somehow was particularly delicious) and a good club sandwich. The breakfast was great, exactly what you need with lots of fresh fruit and veg and a very good made to order egg cook. Also loved the filter coffee. Lastly definitely do a beach bbq Coming from New Zealand we found the whole experience very good value-particularly tbe 4-7pm happy hour. Am sure there are lots of cheaper places on the island but with our young kids we didn’t have access to them and were very happy to have a pina colada on tbe beach before they packed in. Thank you again Team Idyllic.

The resort is a charming and cozy gem in Koh Lipe—neither too big nor too small. The restaurant serves authentic Thai cuisine along with a well-balanced selection of Western delicacies. Enjoy a gorgeous breakfast by the pool, accompanied by the refreshing morning breeze. The small beach is delightful, with a nearby coral reef perfect for snorkeling!

Kids and family friendly. Great services. We will be back again.

I had high hopes for this hotel, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations, especially considering its price point. The rooms were decent, and the beach was lovely, but that’s about where the positive aspects end. The breakfast buffet was incredibly underwhelming, lacking basic items such as cheeses and nuts, which are standard in many lower-tier hotels. Upon checkout, there was an unexpected commotion in the lobby, which turned out to be related to a missing pair of disposable slippers. While those slippers cost no more than 50 cents, they were being treated as they were a significant issue. Those slippers, which cost maybe 40 cents, were something I had used and taken, assuming they were a standard disposable item. When I returned them, I was told that they reuse them!! Reusing slippers that have been worn by other guests, potentially harboring bacteria and fungus, is not only unhygienic but completely unacceptable, especially for a 4-star hotel. These slippers can't be washed because they'll be ruined. I work in hotel amenities supply and i know that for a fact. Yuck!!! For a four-star hotel charging $300 a night, it is deeply troubling that such a commotion would arise over a a 40 cent disposable item, especially given the potential health risks involved. This lack of basic hygiene is inexcusable.Given these issues, I can’t help but feel deeply disappointed, and I honestly cannot recommend it. I’m rating it 1 star, as I truly feel let down.

Absolutely incredible. This is a gorgeous hotel, with excellent staff, facilities and food. The rooms are modern, spacious and beautiful. The air conditioning was fantastic. We arrived from Langkawi via a ferry and unbeknown to us, the hotel offers a shuttle service. They carried our bags and offer a Tuk Tuk free of charge through the town for arrivals and Departures from the hotel. The hotel itself is situated a short 10 minute walk outside the main street. It is however a hilly walk and the hotel offers Tuk Tuk runs for 100 TB per person which were well worth it before dinner due to the heat, then a walk back after dinner. The beachfront was beautiful, fantastic views and clean sand with plenty of sunbeds available. The beachfront is situated on Sunrise Beach, and you can actually walk left all the way to Sunset beach which we did and a gentle stroll took somewhere between 20-30 minutes. The breakfast was included in our stay and was fantastic, offering a range of fresh eggs and Noodles, aswell as fruit and pastries. The gym situated on the hotel is excellent, spread across 3 floors it has freeweights up to 25kg (i think) various machines and a stretching area on the top floor. There is a water station inside so bring a bottle. The air con isn't great in there but it is fine. Overall, we both agreed this is the best hotel we have ever stayed at and we would actively look to go back.

We stayed here for a week and loved every second of it. The room was amazing—spacious, modern, and elegantly designed. The TV in the room is a smart TV with all the streaming services you need, so you can log in and watch whatever you prefer (which is rare to find in hotels). This is the first hotel I’ve stayed at that has an app where you can book services such as room service, spa treatments, and tours—we were honestly impressed by that. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful throughout our stay. All the amenities, including the gym, restaurant, pools, and sunbathing area, were amazing! The breakfast buffet was also very good, lots of options and great coffee. We booked a private long-tail boat tour through the hotel app, which we absolutely loved. The snorkeling spots were well-chosen, and we even had a lunch prepared by the hotel to take with us. The hotel is about 10–15 minutes away from Walking Street, which is the main hub of the town. We also tried the floating breakfast, which we’d recommend for the Instagram-worthy photos but not for convenience—it was pretty awkward eating in a pool. The only flaw I remember is that the toilet’s flushing system was a bit frustrating (it didn’t always flush properly). Overall, this was a 10/10 stay, and we highly recommend this hotel to travelers visiting Koh Lipe!

Absolutley amazing stay, staff, hotel, location was beautiful. Would highly recommend and will return. Thanks.

Beautiful setting with very friendly attentive staff who simply cannot do enough for their guests. Lovely breakfast and lunch and dinner menu. High standards of cleanliness and housekeeping. We stayed 28th Feb - 3rd March and had a very enjoyable stay.

Being on a remote Island, Idyllic Resort is by far one of the more exclusive resorts on the Island. The staff is friendly and attentive, especially Leaf and his crew at the beach bar deliveres service at a high level. However, one should keep in mind that this hotel is located at the beach with nature at its doorstep, and therefore you should expect some degree of dust and sand in and around the room. Regardless, this hotel deserves it’s four stars and we truly recommend to visit Idyllic Concept Hotel. We also recommend to go on the «outer zone» snorkeling trip - the underwater life is breathtaking!

Very nice hotel, staff were also really nice and friendly. Room was fairly basic but clean and tidy, floor seemed a little grubby though. Overall very nice, however I feel a bit over priced for what it is

Disappointed and quite shocked at the Idyllic to be honest, especially given its absurd price point. We booked a junior suite to celebrate our engagement which we tried to flag to staff, but they didn't notice nor listen. Was told we had to wait till the 2pm check-in time for our room, which is fair enough, but once 2pm hit our room still wasn't ready. There is no safe room for luggage so people's belongings are literally spread across the main lobby until rooms are ready. Room was nice, but was still slightly unclean with smudges on windows and a stain on the couch. Albeit the room was lovely, just a little dated and required a refresh - especially at almost £300 per night. Can't fault the beach-front staff and the view - make the most amazing frappes at the Starbucks there. Room service and menu was really nice too. Would recommend avoiding this hotel and spending your money elsewhere - simply not worth it!

Superb in every way

We stayed 6 nights in a twin room with pool view. It was pricier than usual because it was the only room available on the island when we booked at last minute from 1/1/25. Our experience was a little bit different to the fantastic reviews and I'm not entirely sure if this was because the hotel was our first experience of Thailand standards or if it was a disconnect between the hotel initial impressions and the reality - it was all just a bit skin deep. For us the hotel looked beautiful, presented as clean and had friendly staff but it was only at a surface level. The entrance to our room faced the rear of the hotel, away from the middle pool and had lots of rubbish stored there. The mirrors and the room generally was surface clean but mirrors and surfaces were smeared. The water in the shower had a scum and smell, which made showering unpleasant. In addition the staff walked really smelly rubbish bags through the hotel restaurant and a housekeeper threw mop bucket water out on the reception plants - the standards of cleanliness didn't really match the hotel price point.The staff were polite but lacked warmth and their friendliness lacked genuine hospitality. However, the beach was stunning and the location just perfect. We really enjoyed our stay but it was more because we loved Koh Lipe's beaches and water. We would return to Koh Lipe but would probably choose another hotel. We went to the Zodiac Bar and would probably choose their beach accommodation next time.

The jacuzzi suite is by far the best . Stayed 2 times and the the 3rd time I managed to book a newly renovated room just above the reception on the 3rd floor. Room was nice but the stairs….to breakfast and back was torturing. Too many steps . Always book the chalet on the beach.

We stayed for 5 nights, with our 10 year old son and a family of friends. We all agree, it’s the best place that we have ever stayed. The setting on the beach is beautiful. The food in the hotel is fantastic and not expensive by western standards. There are also Plenty of options outside the hotel to eat etc. Koh Lipe walking street is a short tuk tuk ride away from the hotel. Getting there, The speedboat connection from Pakbara pier takes 90mins. We stayed in Hat Yai for one night, which is the airport we flew into from Chiang Mai. It was a busy city, and we don’t regret our evening there. We woke up early the next morning, and took a taxi at 7am which got us to the pier in plenty of time to catch the 9.30am speedboat to Koh Lipe. On reflection, we would stay in Pakbara as there are a few hotel options, giving us the chance to take a leisurely breakfast, getting the 1 hour 30 minute taxi ride out of the way the evening we land. In our opinion, the early speed boat is the better option, as we arrived in Koh Lipe at 11am so as to enjoy pretty much all of the day. The boat drops on Pattaya beach. The hotel send a tuk tuk to collect guests and baggage on arrival. We booked a pool view junior suite. It was plenty spacious for the 3 of us We absolutely loved our stay here We will be returning to spend next Christmas here We didn’t want to leave. We took a 3 hour speed boat direct from Lipe to Koh Lanta Breakfast 5* Staff 5* Room 5*

Small beach with lots of garbage. Area around hotel is very dirty with garbage. Lots of construction. Too many steps. Property is narrow. Crowded beach. Corals are dead. Lame breakfast.

We spent hours looking for a hotel in Koh Lipe. We didn’t go wrong with our choice. During our time, we saw many other hotels on the island and this was by far the best. Don’t hesitate to book if you’re looking for great amenities, friendly staff, and a prime location.

Second time staying in the jacuzzi suite. Spacious, clean and bright. the only problems is the water pressure, to fill up the jacuzzi takes hours and lack of hot water.

Really good breakfast specially fresh fruits  and hot food. Exotic and cool beach bar. The hotel's side of the beach has less noisy boats than the rest of the beach. The staff is very friendly and hard working. Don't leave  this hotel without trying these 2 deserts: fried bananas and Mango sticky rice!!! - No bins provided to be able to pick up and throw all the plastic found in the sea and the beach. We want to contribute to keep the beach clean but nowhere to trow the trash. - Full body mirror in the bedroom would be appreciated. - There is a very dangerous step at the top of the middle stairs from the middle pool. It was there 8 years ago too!!! We wonder how many trips and accidents must have taken place in that's spot. This was my 2nd time in this hotel and I will be back

Good location on nice beach Rooms were smaller than I expected Wifi was useless . Smart tv even on normal channels dropped out . Netflix just kept stalling so didn’t turn on in frustration.

Clean and beautiful. Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly especially a lady name ON.

Where should I start? Well let’s start by the way the friendly staff welcomes you (back) when you arrive by boat. Been here twice and they still recognize us and know our names when welcoming us with a delicious drink. Checking in doesn’t even take more than 1 or 2 minutes and you are guided to your room. The pool is located directly at the beautiful beach, so you can easily switch between the sea and the pool. The pool has a nice poolbar where you meet nice people from all over the world. Enjoying a cocktail while the sun goes down and stay with the children in the pool till after dark. Can’t thank the staff enough for their kindness, always a friendly smile on their face and helpful in anyway. The spa has been renovated into a 5 star spa where I love to enjoy a massage by Thung. Known her for over years and she has the strongest hands of the island 😁 Last but certainly not least. Imagine owning this resort and a few more resorts and still being able to take the time and invite your guests for dinner. Well, that’s what we experience here. P’ Noom, thank you very much for your hospitality, dinner and friendly chat. Much appreciated ❤️ This resort really has what it takes to unwind and I can recommend it to anyone: family, single, young or old, everyone will feel right at home.

The room is deluxe and big. The swimming pool is just next to the beach which is wonderful no matter swim in the pool or play at the beach. Very nice breakfast, various choices with pool & beach view. Plenty of bottle drinking water supplement everyday.

The island of Koh lipe is very small but has a lot of accommodations to choose from. We liked the Idyllic because it was on a very nice beach, two wonderful pools, bar access from one of the pools, good food options, excellent breakfast buffet, friendly staff, and nice clean rooms.

We had an excellent holiday at Idyllic big thanks to Ken that with his hospitality made our stay perfect. Highly recommend also the restaurant, we had lunch and dinner everyday and the food was amazing with large portions, breakfast always with different menu ( never get bored ).All the staff were friendly and very attentive with the smile on the face, this resort is excellent managed, We will back here for sure !

You could walk straight out onto the beach. It was lovely and quiet

It was amazing!! The food was good, the staff was really nice and helpful. The outer excursion that we booked was incredible, we recommend it.

The hotel had construction during our stay, including on the weekend with the loud grinding and banging noise by swimming pool and the beach where most people were trying to relax. And the smell of burning metal. It was horrible to have to deal with it especially when we were on vacation. There was no posting about the construction on the website when we booked it.

Lovely place with excellent staff. Breakfast is really good. Amazing location. No complaints.

We just spent a week at Idyllic and had a wonderful time. The gardens are wonderfully landscaped with 2 pools to choose from. We had a room on the second floor looking towards reception. The one drawback is that none of the rooms have privacy/sheer curtains, so you are stuck either having blockout curtains drawn all day or having everyone looking in on you. The bed was on the hard side for us, pillows also firm and high. The hotel is right at one end of sunrise beach which means you don’t have all the long tail boats parked right in front of you, although it’s a coral beach so it can be rough on your feet. The snorkelling off the house reef is one of the best ones we’ve seen. Breakfast buffet was decent. The selection is not huge, but a lot of the hot items are changed daily. There is a lovely chicken noodle bar and also roti station. The wifi was pretty patchy and slow throughout the property. Staff are polite and courteous, we had an issue with very noisy neighbours and asked to change rooms the next morning which was done promptly with no questions. There is a bit of reno going on throughout, so lounging by the beach will be quite noisey, it looks like they should be done by Xmas. There is only 1 shuttle a day at 6pm to walking street, but it’s literally 5 minutes on foot to reach the top of the section.

Overall is good but just water heater doesnt get hot sometimes, need wait for very long only hv hot water

Perfect property. Great location and every one was so nice and helpful. No complaints at all.

Wonderful service, steps from the beach. Smiles all around…

We had an amazing time at the Idyllic Concept Resort. The resort is a true jewel on the paradise island of Koh Lipe. Breakfast was wonderful, the room just perfect and the staff outstanding! Special thanks to Khun Oon, Khun Kaison, Khun Nii and the GM!

Beautiful contemporary spacious high-ceilonged room overlooking a Cute garden & turquoise sea. Pool was frigid & should have been heated.

Well maintained place with nice staff. The service could be better, there are really, lots of mosquitos so make sure to bring mosquito repellent. The wifi was lost because of rain on the first night and never fixed till we checked out. And they gave a coupon that can’t be used when we're paying but must be redeemed when we're ordering which we weren’t informed about and seems inefficient. The breakfast was alright and the food at the restaurant was nice.

Loved this resort and the island , all the staff super friendly and very attentive

Please do not go here, this is my beach my resort, shoo shoo 😉 Best ever experience

Staff were excellent, rooms lovely, grounds well kept

We enjoyed our stay at the Idliyic, 2 adults and our 9 yr old. We had a room overlooking the pool (not the main pool and beach). It was lovely and spacious, and suited our r family perfectly. The pools were lovely, we all loved the swim up bar. Food was amazing and only a little more expensive than places to eat outside the hotel. We always made breakfast (which is unheard off) , lunch was amazing and we went to the seafood bbq on the beach. I would def stay here again, although felt the hotel is getting a little tired. But like I said I would stay again in a heart beat. Location on the island was fab, beach was fab, hotel staff were amazing. We had a couple of issues in our room, our air conditioning stopped working during the night (the workmen were at our room within 5mins), they couldn’t fix the problems and within 15 mins of reporting the issue, we were being offered another room for the night, whilst the issue was resolved. It was and were back in at 10am the next day. We couldn’t fault the hotel or staff, we loved it and hopefully we will return soon to the idyllic and Koh Lipe.

Perfectly situated with fantastic views of the Mountains. Very modern and felt luxurious compared with much of the island's properties.

Hard beds, noisy rooms (I-leaf) and allowed dogs inside during breakfast.

Staff is friendly, hotel is in superb condition and we love the free life jacket and kayak!

ที่พักสวย ติดริมหาด พนักงานน่ารักบริการดีมาก จะกลับไปอีก

Everything was perfect! They made everything so easy from the moment we stepped off the pier we were greeted with hotel crew asking which hotel we were staying at. The man from Idyllic escorted us to his tuk tuk carrying 2 of our large pieces of luggage by hand. We did not arrange for any transportation, it was simply provided without having to request it. Once we arrived we were greeted by welcoming staff members with delicious cold beverages and a nice young lady who I believe might’ve been hotel manager. She helped us with every issue/concern/question we had in the most welcoming manner. What stood out to me was how genuine and sincere the staff was with ensuring a perfect stay for us. They arranged every pick up and drop off for taxis and booked a long tail boat tour on the same day without any hiccups. Aside from their glowing customer service, the hotel amenities impressed me. They offer free kayaks and snorkel gear for the first hour and charge a small fee after that. There are sunbeds available with umbrellas set up directly in front of the beach. Another big perk was that the beachfront to Idyllic was wide open without the congestion of any boats (which is nice because sunrise beach can become quite crowded with boats going in and out). Our room itself was pristine and cleaned to perfection every day. And last but definitely not least, their continental breakfast is fit for royalty. It may be the best breakfast I’ve ever experienced. Thanks so much Idyllic!!!

The location of this property is amazing. Just walk into the sea and go snorkeling!

Unimpressive and disappointing! Stay at the Mali Resort (Sunrise Beach). This is the first time we have stayed at a “resort” and left so disappointed. The room was clean. The bed, however, was as hard as a rock. The room was sparsely furnished. The “partial ocean view” from the room was very partial and not worth paying extra for. In fact, nothing we experienced at the Idyllic Concept justified what we paid for the room. When we checked out we were asked how our stay was. Before we could respond, however, the attendant (Jay) turned to deal with another guest. Pretty well summed up our treatment during our stay. The grounds were poorly kept. Cigarette butts littered the dead grass in the area across from the pool. We even saw dog feces in one spot. The pool was clean in the morning, but by mid afternoon the water became cloudy and sludge collected around the edge. We have always wondered about pools with swim up bars. People stay at the bar in the water for hours without moving. This pool was small for one with a swim up bar. The service at the restaurant was just plain horrible. Tipping did not seem to help improve the situation. For the most part we found the staff unfriendly. There were exceptions, however, and some staff would smile or say “hello. The two upsides we found were that the beach out front has fewer long-tail boats tied up in the water, and the breakfast buffet had a wide range of choices available.

Stunning hotel, right on the beach close to the main Walking street.comfy room. Great breakfast.

The room was good. The beach was excellent and the food too

Right on the quieter side of beach. Lovely and friendly staff.

It’s our first time on the island and I did a lot of research and found this hotel the best in our price range. I loved almost everything except the shower situation. Turning on the small shower was a bit of a pain, as soon as you turned the water on it would go everywhere! One thing I found really annoyed and dangerous as the floor was very slippery. I understand I’m not the tallest person but the shower head was most annoying thing I found overall. Wasting a lot of small towels to clean all the water off the floor. Breakfast was ok Drinks ok There another hotel down the beach on the left call coast away, the cocktails are amazing! And happy hour is even better. Overall I’d definitely come back The beach is beautiful thankfully they do not have lots of long boat out side on their side of the beach. The sea is incredible! Even though I did get bitten by a fish! Yes you’re reading it right. Another person staying at the hotel also got bitten. Just be careful. Koh Lipe is a beautiful island and so is this hotel Not great if you’re disabled or unable to do a lot of stairs.

Fantastic hotel! The view from the room is splendid and hotel staff are greatly helpful. The beach iin front of the hotel is so beautiful with white sand. We can walk to Main Street called by “Walking Street” in 5 min and it’s very convenient to enjoy lunch, dinner and shopping. We will return this hotel again.

Was extremely grateful that the hotel granted us with a 1 day delay in arrival without penalty due to a flight delay. The hotel has so much potential waiting to be unleashed. I am writing this as I sincerely hope to see Idyllic's potential maximised. Amazing seaview, beautiful hotel facade, proximity to nice corals, free kayak for hotel guests, spacious rooms are great plus points. Everyone was hospitable especially "Boom" who was featured as the fire dance performer in the hotel video. He chatted briefly with us, telling us where we can go and recommened drinks at the hotel bar. However, the upkeeping of the hotel requires continuous effort. It needs to come from the top. While the rooms are nicely appointed and designed, they arent properly maintained and my I-comfy which cost approx SGD$260/night after tax looking tired. There were dark mould on the sealant of sink, edges of bathroom floor, rust on shower head holder, rusty sink stopper, signs of leaks that might have been fixed but not painted over etc. We were there for 4 days 3 nights and perhaps their hotel GM needs to walk the grounds more often to find out about their stay. A personalised welcome note and drink would have been nice touch points if it has aspiration to be one of the top hotel in Koh Lipe.

Nice hotel, very friendly staff !! Room very noisy, no noise protection!

This resort could be really great, and probably will be, once it’s totally completed. There was a lot of construction going on around the property, which was a little messy and loud. They seem to focus a lot on the look of the resort, rather than the functionality. For example, the shower sprays all over the bathroom when you use it. I also fell down on one of the decks because it was wet, so i recommend finding flooring with a little more traction. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the beach front was beautiful.

My hubby and I stayed at Idyllic Concept for 1 night... our stay was extremely last minute having booked the ferry to koh lipe the day before. We were unexpectantly welcomed at the docking point on the beach and assised to the hotel by a fun motorbike with sidecar. We were greated with a friendly smile and cool drink on arrival and proceeded to what can only be described as an amazing beachfront location. Everything was beautiful!!! from the amazing villa, breakfast, beachfront ocation with snorkelling. they even helped us change our ferry ticket so we could stay longer. loved Koh Lipe and Idyllic Concept and we will be back!!

highly recommended this property. room is clearn. friendly stuff. location is by the beach. walking distance to main street. Variety of breakfast, also different menue for 3 days at least. they will offer seafood buffet about every other day. you will enjoy staying at this hotel while feeling kho lipe

Overpriced. Water from shower leaks to toilet and has stagnant smells when tried spray clean it.

Lovely hotel in a chalet overlooking the beach. Paradise! There are building works away from the beach which did not disturb me but could affect others. People with mobility problems may have difficulties. Also decking around the pool constantly covered in puddles. Can be very slippy. Lovely, helpful staff especially Von. Gorgeous food. One of the best chefs ever! Lovely breakfasts. Only problem no food after 9.30pm when everything closes. Still a great holiday.

One of the better resorts around. Could have been better if we were told that there's construction and renovation works within the resort. Quite noisy and dusty at times. We also paid to join the BBQ seafood dinner at 850baht per pax, which was affected by the rain. Although the weather was not within the hotel's control, it would be good if the hotel had some service recovery like discounts or free drinks given that guests did not get to dine on the beach or enjoy the beach activities as promised.

We enjoyed our experience. The food was excellent. The beach was beautiful and the service was so personal.

The resort is really well located at the end of the beach - quiet place calm and relaxing... staff is really helpful and so nice- restaurant offer a lot of variety and no surprise... our room was not on the beach but in a calm area surrounding by plants and nice garden . Resort to be highly recommended

Good location nice beach not far from walking street and night maket staff very helpful nice room

So many mosquitos. They should put up an electronic mosquito killer lamp at few locations around the facilities. Staff was great.

Good and clean hotel. Well equipped for a holiday trip and nice/polite staff to help around

Overall, it is one of the most modern accom on Sunrise beach. The room don't look as new as the pictures and the water pressure coming out from the shower head can be quite frustrating at certain times of the day. But still, I think this is a nice place to stay. Staff were friendly and the beach is just less than a minute walk from my room.

Lovely hotel with an amazing setting right next to the beach. Koh Lipe was a little different to what I expected and the amount of rubbish on the island was a little disappointing. Otherwise, lovely stay and wonderful hotel. Remember ear plugs if in Garden rooms as the frogs can be a little noisy but there is no controlling the wildlife!

Great hotel in paradise! Only complaint was the hard beds.

Very good , clean

Rooms are spacious and clean. amzaing hotel with nice beach in front and activities that you can do right in front of your doorstep! had an amazing stay and definitely will come back

I stayed with my girlfriend for a 4 days 3 nights vacation. Good environment and ambiant, walking distance to sunrise beach where you can enjoy beautiful sunrise view. Breakfast provided by the hotel are good and variety. Room is big and comfortable. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Hotel overall is good and would like to stay there if i am going back for 2nd trip.

Good, but our room was far from the beach and we had to carry the kids up and down the steep stairs several times per day. Asked if we could change rooms but got a no. Also, on the back of our room was a construction site. They didnt work there during high season, but it looked terrible.

Stunning and spacious room. Breakfast was delicious. Nice pool and beach. Good staff. A good all rounder

Stayed here for 4 nights and loved it. The communication before our arrival was helpful, and they arranged a free pick up on motorbike for us from Pattaya beach. ~ We arrived at the back entrance of the hotel and were a little concerned as there is a lot of building and renovation work going on, but we were escorted down the stairs towards the beach and no noise could be heard. We opted for a garden view room, which was set just behind the beach front, and was quiet and private. Staff were friendly and helpful thoughout our stay. Breakfast was wonderful! Great selection on offer. Room was clean, comfortable and had an indoor and outdoor shower which was really nice. Pool with pool bar was wonderful too. Plenty of sunloungers available on the beach. Price was a little more than we would usually spend on a hotel stay, however it was worth every ringgit! Overall a fantastic stay, highly recommended.

clean, modern, new hotel.not many new hotels with swimm up bar on sunrise beach. positives: good location, very spacious room,nice balcony, nice pool, pool bar, negatives: loads of stairs up to the room( obvs not if u pay for beach front) , room-no hangers/hooks, bad design for the shower/sink, tho its had a couch on the balcony n in the room-both not confortable, the lights by the bed can be both on or both off, so that can be a negative.. poor breakfast-the only thing the make nice is eggs, so i guess thats the main thing. not enough sun beds when busy , food in the restuarnat-just ok,to expensive for what it is,really worth walking few mins for great restaurants n bars! overall nice resort, but just becose at the mom thers not much competition, id say when they finnsih building and get more experience this will be great. :)

On arrival you can see the hotel still has construction everywhere. It was not causing any noise but visually unpleasant. The hotel is located at the very end of the beach. The sand is not as fine as the middle part of the beach. Room was okay but cleaner had forgotten to grab a used plate (welcome cake from the hotel) so we had ants in the room after a day of snorkelling... Bedding was damp so the sleep was not very good. Restaurant is overpriced because it charges 10% service AND 7% VAT which we never have elsewhere in our trip! Food was ok but considering how much we paid it really didn't worth it. We can feel what style/atmosphere the hotel is trying to create but it is not ready in almost every aspect if you look into the details.

Staffs are very helpful and courteous. Restaurant for the breakfast is open air with the ceiling so really enjoyable the nice breeze and the food. I had some issue with the bathroom but they take a very action to accommodate my request. I’d love to visit again for the next holiday.

Probably one of the nicest luxury resorts on the island. The rooms and location have more potential though. With some quick fixes the rooms can be made up to date again, and from there on it’s maintenance (calcium deposits clogging the shower heads, torn lamp shades, curtains rails hanging loose). Details which make a big difference when entering the higher price range. The staff took our complaint seriously and acted within their powers to make our stay pleasant. The swimming pool is nice and the beach is only 20 meters away. A hotel taxi boat comes to pick you up at Pattaya beach (high season) and drops you off at the hotel. This is good as the journey over the island’s roads aren’t half as nice. The staff is really helpful and carries the luggage from the beach to the room. Breakfast is good and has quite a few options, unfortunately some of the warm food is served either cold or lukewarm. The fresh juices are tasty and the homemade yoghurt is nice as well.

We really liked staying here. The hotel was clean and close to everything (then again, the whole island is tiny so everything is close). Lovely beach next to crystal clear waters and a decent free breakfast. I'm 90% sure we booked the jungle room suites; if you book here, be sure to see if you can get closer to the pool/beach. Our room was a bit of a walk (5m) to the pool with many stairs and it was extremely slippery when it rained. We were also close to the new construction which wasn't ideal- luckily we were up early enough the noise didn't bother us, but if you like to sleep in, maybe ask for a room away from the noise. The power shuts off for about 5m twice a day when they switch generators, but we were gone for most of the times that happened. We also had one night when it was only brown gross water coming out of the skin; turns out they switched pipes of something in the middle of the night and it took a while to fix. Not a big deal, especially when you remember you're on an island and it's a super small area, but something to watch out for. It did seem like this place was the more modern from other hotels. The staff was also very kind and helpful and they offer free pick up and drop off from the boats.
