The hotel

Surrounded by lush vegetation, the Saii Phi Phi Island Village is located on a secluded beach along Loh Ba Gao Bay. The traditional-style bungalows with thatched roofs are scattered amongst the 70-acres of tropical gardens, some boasting a sublime sea view. Indulge yourself in the open-air Api Restaurant, which specialises in Thai and International cuisine in a variety of styles and the day starts with the generous buffet breakfast overlooking the beach. At sunset, enjoy the zinging cocktails at The Beach Grill & Chill. For a special romantic dinner, the Ruan Thai Restaurant up on the hillside offers Thai specialities on its candlelit terrace overlooking the 1000 sq m infinity pool and bay. There is a rejuvenating spa and for the more active, there is plenty to do with water sports, a 5-star PADI diving centre and excursions to Maya Bay and the neighbouring islands.

I had a wonderful experience staying for 2 nights at this resort. It boasts a long stretch of private beach, which is rare to find on Phi Phi Island. Although the resort has been open for a long time, it still retains its charm through its rooms, facilities, and staff. The rooms are designed as standalone cottages, offering plenty of privacy. Each features a large bed with a lounging sofa, a bathroom with a separate shower and toilet, and a spacious walk-in closet which is one of my favorite highlights. The closet offers ample storage and even includes a vanity mirror, which is a thoughtful touch for female guests. The resort has several restaurants, making it ideal for long-stay guests. They serve Thai, Southern, and international dishes, all of which are very well prepared. The breakfast is especially impressive, with a wide variety of delicious, high-quality options. I’d also like to give a special shout-out to Haris from the API restaurant and J who drives the buggy. Their warm service, and that of the entire team, made my experience on this paradise island even more memorable. Read less

What an exceptional place! The beauty of this hotel is truly unmatched. The staff members are incredibly attentive and genuinely friendly, welcoming guests with a delightful Thai band, refreshing ice towels, and drinks. The breakfast buffet offers a wonderful variety, including continental, Indian, and Thai options—there's something for everyone, and you certainly won’t go hungry. It was disappointing to see some guests leave the cool rooms open, despite the signs asking to keep the doors closed for the fresh food. It's understandable that not everyone may realize the impact of their actions, but it’s important to recognize that this is not the hotel’s fault. The restaurants and drinks can be a bit pricey, but just a short walk behind the hotel leads to a charming little village that the caddy can easily take you to. The scenery around the hotel is immaculate and the level of cleanliness is really impressive. I can’t imagine anyone would have a reason to complain here. This place truly is a gem. The hotel can also help organize excursions, which we found to be a fantastic service. We’re so grateful for the wonderful memories you helped create for our 25th anniversary. A special thank you to Tanya, the manager, as well as Maria, Panda, and the entire team for their kindness and support. Your efforts made our stay truly magical! Read less

Stayed in Saii Phi Phi village for 2 nights and loved it. Everyone recommended a maximum of 2 night but we would have happily stayed longer. Place was spotless and staff were so friendly. The hospitality from the moment we stepped onto the boat at the marina to transport us to the hotel right the way through to when the transport dropped us at the airport was second to none. Everything at the resort is very well organized - the day trips, transport, welcoming guests, breakfast and booking dinner. The app was so useful for booking restaurants. We are at the Thai restaurant at the top the first night and the food was amazing. Prices on the island are more expensive but we had expected that. The beach was spotless and loved relaxing in the dome chairs. Security on the beach meant the beach on had guests from the resort so it wasn't overcrowded. Will definitely be including a longer stay next year. Read less

We stayed at SAii Phi Phi Island Village for 2 nights at the end of May. Overall, it was a good experience – certainly above average – but it didn’t leave us with unforgettable memories (with the exception of the outstanding hospitality). * The highlights: 1. Exceptional service: From the boat crew to the porters to the front desk, everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently, and we felt genuinely welcomed at every point. 2. Birthday surprise: I had booked a Deluxe Garden Bungalow, but for my birthday we received a complimentary upgrade to a Sea View unit. The room was also decorated and included a cake – a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. Truly top-notch hospitality! 3. Good facilities: The hotel has a range of facilities that are well-maintained and contribute to a relaxed, enjoyable stay. * Room for improvement: 1. Somewhat dated feel: Certain areas and elements of the resort felt a bit outdated. However, we noticed ongoing renovations during our stay, so it seems this is already being addressed. 2. Breakfast experience: We didn’t particularly enjoy the breakfast setup. It felt a bit chaotic and not very well organized to our taste – though of course, this is subjective. 3. Lively atmosphere with large families: During our stay, there were quite a few large (and occasionally loud) families enjoying the resort. Naturally, everyone is entitled to a great holiday, and this isn’t a complaint – but it did slightly take away from the tranquil, peaceful vibe we were hoping for. In summary: a more than decent stay with standout service, but aside from the hospitality, it didn’t feel especially memorable. Read less
