Krabi Tipa Resort Reviews & Ratings

The hotel was very impressive. The room was very nice and the service was great. Best value compare to other hotels. The food was good and convenience location. If you are looking for a good place to stay, I would say "Go for this place". I will absolutely come back!!

Flew from BKK - Krabi on a Thai Airways domestic flight, duration 1 hour and 15 minutes. Arrived in the afternoon at Krabi airport and were picked up by The Tipa pickup service and arrived at the resort after about a half hour drive, early evening on Dec 3, 2005.

Staying 3 days as planned. Booked a bungalow, very nice and romantic, up the hill, it's quite a walk/climb, but no problem for us. Staff / reception and everyone that worked there all very friendly and helpful. We were at their restaurant twice and it was really nice, do however wear protective clothing and use anti-mosquito stuff.

Breakfast was good enough. On walking distance of the Ao Nang Beach and the shops and restaurants and some bars, no view of the beach however from the resort, just some mountains.

You can book a day trip to the Phi Phi islands for 1,200 Baht at the reception. This includes transport to the long tails boats that bring you to the big boat, the big boat, drinks and some food, snorkeling equipment and a lunch at Phi Phi Island restaurant.

The boat stops at Phi Phi Ley and Don, gives a tour and some information through a speaker. Stops at Maya Bay (The Beach) for snorkeling.
Boat trip takes about 2 hours.

Very happy about choosing Tipa Resort, good price, great quality.

Nice bungalows in a tropical setting, feels lika living in the middle of the rain forest, really cool! But be aware, it´s quite a climb up the hill! The setting around the pool area is very nice, breakfast and the location ok, takes about 5-10 minutes to get to the shops/beach/longtail boats. The beach in Ao Nang is no good, make sure to take a longtail boat to the islands outside Ao Nang!

Tipa grounds are lovely. If you don't have kids or don't want to be surrounded by them, this isn't the place for you - if you are a family with kids, you'll probably love it. Many Scandinavians who seems to forget they need to adapt to new culture - letting kids run around naked at pool while Thais are VERY shy and modest. Mattresses are very hard - not a problem for me, but might be for you. Breakfast OK, except eggs "pre-cooked" (omelettes & fried), so rubbery and cold. Staff is very gracious. Walking paths could be swept daily. It was a fine place, but I expected to be a bit more "wowed" for the price we paid.

Nice, clean and spacious rooms. Lots of plants and trees, nice pool area. Good atmosphere, good food, quiet at night. Very sweet, friendly and helpful staff. We're very satisfied and have already recommended it to a friend!

A nice family hotel, but still quiet. Ground floor room are a bit dark. Breakfast: nothing fancy - meals could be warmer. Location isn't great, uphill in a quiet street, about 400m to the beach, restaurants and a small supermarket nearby.

A real nice place. Friendly staff. The receptionists are very kind and attentive. The bungalows are very nice. The mattresses are a little bit too hard.
We missed more hooks on the wall for towels etc. The room rates are too expensive!

We stayed at Tipa Resort during X'mas of 2006. Overall, the stay was great and we would certainly be glad to return to the Resort at our next visit. We just have to avoid eating there!

There are some irks that we would like to highlight. While the reception staff was fabulous, staff at the restaurant left much to be desired. Except for one really kind lady at the restaurant, we felt totally discriminated at the restaurant. Caucasians were clearly favored and Asians were totally ignored. One particular gentleman at the restaurant was most obvious in the discrimination. He joked, talked and laughed with Caucasians and were rude when serving us.

During the X'mas dinner, Asians were also clearly forgotten. The Masters of Ceremony were all so engaged in only addressing their European guests.

A convenient location-in Ao Nang town but set back for privacy. The rooms were well-kept and comfortable. Breakfast included decent variety. Price is good for quality. Thanks for a nice stay!

Great hotel, great location, clean, very attentive staff. We had a problem with half the electricity points going out in our room, but this was attended to timeously by the staff. Would definitely go back!
