Tipa Resort

Magnus said, "Very nice staff, really good breakfast,got a bungalow in the jungle at first but changed to a big room at the newbuilt complex near entrance at a small amount extra. Room was really nice and clean. Pool was ok, children loved it. Near to longtails and shopping. We were satisfied."

Päivi said, "Really nice hotel. Friendly staff. We it was really nice and maked us feel like we were staying at the middle of a jungle. Breakfast was ok.We booked more nights after one. We will absolutely stay in this hotel if we go Krabi again."

Gregory said, "Excellent. Location ( no view of the beach area as it is a little back from it) great - only a very short stroll. Breakfast excellent, with variety. LH end of Ao Nang beach is the best. Loads of massage huts and day time bars. Do check out Fishermans Lane for food and the Night Market. Both are fantastic. Great spot for a few days. 1900 baht is value for money for basic bungalow."

Johan said, "Beautiful resort with friendly staff. We liked it very much. The location is very good and within minutes you can walk to Ao Nang beach to stay there or go with a longtail boat to other beaches around krabi (wich are more beautiful). Breakfast was very good, but we didn t have dinner there so I cannot comment on that.We would certainly go back to this resort."

Heidi said, "We were quite happy with it altought the shower wasn t working very well and the towels in the room were quite old.But the environment around the resort is wonderful! Bungalows are almost in the jungle and you can see lots of animals. For example we saw some monkeys and lizards in the front of our bungalow. That was great! The reception area is also very good and well equipped and the resort s location is nice, near the beach street."

Fredrik said, "Ett väldigt fint hotell... kanske lite mer för den lugna gästen och familjen. Vi befann oss knappt på hotellet så det kändes som om vi inte fick ut allt av vad som erbjöds. Lite dyrt med tanke på det. Annars bra service (välkomstdrink), fin pool, helt ok frukostbuffé (blev lite tjatig efter några dar). Vi bodde i en Bungalow och den var väl sådär. Inte lika fin som på korten. Mycket myggor och insekter i träden runtomkring (dom låter lite på eftermiddan), dock fick vi inga myggbett :) Perfekt läge, mitt i Ao Nang centrum. Nära till stranden (longtailbåtar), men ändå ingen störande trafik (trots det centrala läget). Tyst nattetid."

Marianne said, "A Nice hotel with good service and a very helpfull staff al day long, we where staying in a Baanmai"

Roger said, "The position and layout of this hotel was the nicest in the resort, also the rooms were excellent if you do not want all the trimmings. Vg resturant, breakfast and poolside meals"

Denton said, "Very lovely! Loved our Baanmai bungalow, it was quiet and comfortable. Grounds beautifully cared for. We enjoyed the restaurant for several meals and the food was excellent. Hotel staff were warm and welcoming and looked after us completely. I would recommend this hotel to anyone."

Tarnoci said, "Nothing special for money what they reqest,bungalows are on the hill who dont like a climb forget for it.Breakfast untill 10.00 ,after 09.30 problem to find some food.For internet you have a pay -for all resort they have only 2 comps!!! and usually a kids are playng a games or watch movies."

Karin said, "Very nice hotel. Beautyful room (we booked the Baanmai). A small walk up to our bungalow on the hill. The garden and th epool area was nice. Good breakfast buffe. Always happy and helpful staff."

Ninni said, "Very nice and clean hotel. Staff very helpful and friendly. Got a Welcome-drink when we came - nice! Very good location, close to everything. Really good minimart at the entrance. Good breakfast. We can only complain about one thing and that is allowing smoking around both breakfast and pool! Please have an area only for smokers, do not allow people to smoke all over the place! But overall a very beautiful hotel and we will stay there again if we comes to Ao Nang!"

Ulrica said, "A hotel to recommend! Good rooms, good service, good restaurant and perfect walking distance to the long tail boats."

Christopher said, "Excellent mid-range resort in Ao Nang. It s located very close to the main street and the beach, but is also set back from the road and is very quiet---no street or party noise at night. Our room was very clean and with a gorgeous view of the pool and surrounding landscape. The staff was very helpful and friendly. If we ever travel to Ao Nang again, I would book at Tipa in a heartbeat---no exaggeration."

Markus said, "Had a pleasant time at Tipa Resort. Staff was very friendly and helpful, rooms spacious and perfectly clean, site of the resort is good: close to the center but away from the crowd and noise. Aonang itself is more touristic and crowded than we expected, so are the - very beautiful - beaches around. If you are looking for relaxation go somewhere else."

Ingebord said, "The hotel is very pretty. They have a magnificent garden and the place is just enchanting. We we loved every minute of it. The staff is extremely helpful and nice. We it was just wonderful. The bungalow was clean and brand new. There was a great view. The food is good and they have the best cocktails in town ! The swimming pool is wonderful and the massages are great !We would come back without a doubt. It is very well situated, just next to the restaurants, shopping centers and cool bars and 200 meters from the beach. Excellent hotel and excellent service !"

DIANE said, "Wonderful hotel in beautiful surroundings very close to the centre. Staff very helpful and freindly although occasional language problems. Breakfast same daily but ample. Deluxe room was very clean spacious and ideally situated with great views. Overall a lovely hotel highly recommended, would come again."

El-Ma. said, "Very pleased with htis hotel. Large clean rooms, comfortable beds, bathroom ok. Breakfast with the ususal stuff, nice pool and very friendly and attentive staff.The location is perfect, nice garden setting. Only a couple of minutes walk from shopping and restaurants, but still very quiet. 4-5 min. walk from beach. A family friendly hotel. Will go back."

JOHN said, "We loved our stay at the Tipa in the Baanmai teak wood house on the hillside in the jungle environment. A warm welcome, with an accompanying glass of strawberry juice while we completed the paperwork, and then we were transported by electric buggy up the pathways to our secluded, well kept villa. Check the pictures on the Sawadee website �what you see is what you get �a couple of photos are also on my Picasa sitehttp://www.picasaweb.google.com/barry.mcgloin under Nov/Dec 2007.What it can’t show you is the warm glow of enjoyment as you sip a cool drink on the veranda in the soft twilight while listening to the sounds of tropical birds, animals and insects. In the morning you walk down through the attractive gardens to the restaurant for a generous breakfast of choice to set you up for the day. Just outside the secluded Tipa, Thai commerce is in full swing, and a few minutes�walk takes you to the beach where you can swim or board a boat to other picturesque destinations in the region. If you prefer to spend a day at the resort, the Tipa has an inviting blue pool with its limestone cliff backdrop, and the restaurant has a good lunch and dinner menu. A minor gripe here �the restaurant background music is exceptionally bland; I would prefer Thai folk, fusion or jazz, however it seems to be geared to the conservative palate. To conclude, the accommodation is immaculate, attractive and very convenient to Ao Nang and the main beach. The staff are professional, friendly and cheerful and the service is excellent. Highly recommended.Barry and Denise McGloin Canberra, Australia"

Stephen said, "Nice rooms, fantastic staff and very well located. As with many asian accomodation the buffets is food often just warm but we found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and helpful. A definiate revist."

Alexander said, "Mr. A.S. & Mrs. M.K. from 29.10.07-10.11.07.We were extremely happy and satisfied with the entire hotel, very nice design, the reception - always smiling and helpful, the location, very clean rooms, beautiful tropical park, the staff - in particular the manager of the restaurant who took care of us so much every time we had breakfast... The only regret is that we came only once at night to have dinner...it was EXCELLENT and even cheaper as some restaurants outside!!! We higly recommend this hotel and we will come back...!!! Be aware that the hotel if you look at some maps seems to be not to close from the beach... which is wrong!!! It is 50m. from the beach opposite to Ao Nang Villa Resort."

Leong said, "Second time back to the same hotel. The front desk and room services provided were really great like as before. Improvements to be made to the breakfast provided. Bascially serving the same breakfast everyday. Other than this, everything was great."

valerio said, "The hotel was very good, the best in that place, the best we booked. The service was very good, good breakfast, clean rooms. We the Jako was there around but the hotel rooms are very good!"

Leong said, "Great reception upon arrival as compared to another hotel we big lobby compared to others. Quiet location, about 5 mins walking from the beach. If you want to grab something on the way back to your room, a big 7-11 store is just at the entrance to the resort Nothing to comment on service. About 30 mins from the airport. Room is of reasonable size for a standard room. Breakfast ok, not many varieties. Bascially serving the same food every morning. You can find thai food everywhere on the streets outside the resort if you explore. Adult pool is small, kids pool even smaller. Other than all these, the hotel and place is great. At the beach, lots of massage stands offering all kinds of massages for 200 bahts/hr. Lots of walkings, sun, and insects. Not a place to be if you are very particular about all these."

prala said, "Good location, good service and spacious room. The western food provided was not so good. Try out some thai dishes."

Fredrik said, "Received a very warm welcome. Tipa is very good located near all the shops and restaurants, despite this, resort is pretty secluded and quiet. Bungalows are kind of dark and simple, hard bed as always in Thailand, good a/c. Good restaurant, breakfast is buffé style but pretty simple. Supermarket is located just at the entrance. Never got around to check out the pool."

Arna said, "Quite nice hotel, a little too expensive on my opinion. Our deluxe room had a great location near the reception and facing the pool, but our friends had a room in the back and they got really fed up with walking the stairs. The pool was very small and not so tempting. During our stay there were so many kids playing in the pool with water toys, that we didn t feel like going at all. Location could have been nearer to the main street and the beach. Service was okay. Breakfast was superb."

Stu said, "Tipa staff were very welcoming. Bungalow was spacious and very clean, surrounded by dense plantation - most jungle like! Pool had lovely views and was quite peaceful. Buffet breakfast was varied and plentiful. Location was ideal as close to beach, restaurants and bars. Would recommend!!"

Mumtaj said, "Nice place to stay. Great location, near to shops and with the beach just a short walk away. Didn t really like the pool as the kids pool was below the adult pool (had to walk down some steps) so if i were in the upper deck pool would not be able to see my kids. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean."

Dann-Kohmbuechen said, "We breakfast good. Most of the customers are scandinavian tourists, most with small kids. Therefor the pool-life wasn t so quiete as we had wanted."

Lars said, "It was a pleasure, to stay here. A very nice hotel, with very nice rooms (De Luxe). exelent staff, but their english wasn t so good. Next time I go to Ao Nang, I ll stay there."

Renee said, "Wonderful stay at Tipa Resort, the hotel is set back from the road so very quiet, staff very friendly and helpful, rooms clean and spacious, delicious breakfast, very nice restaurant for lunch or dinner... we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back."

Vrank said, "Wij hebben gelogeerd in Tipa Resort in Ao Nang. Prachtig resort, gelegen op een heuvel net om de hoek bij Ao Nang Beach. Kamers, Service, Medewerkers waren uitstekend. Ga zeker de trap op bij de Tiger Cave, kanoën in Thalang en met de longtail naar Railay.Denk erom Ao Nang is niet meer dan een lange straat langs zee; hartstikke gezellig, maar niet echt the place to be voor de party animals.We take the long tail to Railay.Think about that Ao Nang is not more than one very long street along the beach. We find it very cosy, but it´s not really the place to be for party animals."

Michele said, "Fantastic! We had a wonderful time. The staff were excellent and very friendly, the rooms were fabulous. Wouldn t hesitate to recommend - will be back next holiday. Thanks for a great stay."

Christer said, "A very nice hotel in a beautiful enviroment....Polite and friendly staff who had a little problem understanding english, but everything worked out just fine with a little patience....When we go back to thailand, we will come back to Tipa resort...."

Siv said, "A really nice Resort well situated in a quiet area only 3 minutes walk from the Ao Nang beach.A wonderful place with the most charming, helpful and friendly staff working there."

Felix said, "Friendly,good location,clean rooms. pool not the cleanest, but overall I would recomend this resort."

Jo said, "We wouldnt stay there again or recomend it. The hotel didnt deliver what it had promised to deliver and held us to ransom - knowing full well we couldnt go elsewhere at the last minute. They even messed us around with airport tranfers - leaving extra early merely so they could drop staff off on the way. Pretty ordinary hotel."

Christine said, "The Tipa Resort is a Good 3 Star Resort, it is a short walk from the beach. The Staff are Very Helpful and Friendly, the Rooms are Large, Clean and Comfortable. The hotel Restaurant serves a Buffet Breakfast Daily, Dinner at the Hotel was very good and cheap. A Great Resort and Good Value for Money."

Ms. said, "We they din´t clean very well!!!"

Andrew said, "Tipa was a pretty nice resort. Well maintained and centrally located. A couple of things however..we requested one large bed and were given two singles instead. They had no other rooms available for the first night. To their credit they pushed the beds together and made it up as a double which gave us one huge bed in the end.Also, their food at the restaurants, breakfast etc could be more vegetarian friendly."

Ursula said, "The bungalow was great, sitting on the terrace was real jungle feeling and very relaxing. The personal were ever so friendly. We felt very welcome"

Elin said, "Nice view from Deluxe room. Clean and cozy. Location is good very convenient just 5 mins to the beach and shops."

Michelle said, "Tipa Resort is fantastic! 18 year old daughters and none of us wanted to leave. The breakfast is good, the bungalows are gorgeous, set apart and ours was quite private. The staff are friendly and polite and the pool beautiful. Great location and only a two minute walk from the Ao Nang beach and shops. Will be back."

DUCROS said, "Very pleasant place to stay) The bungalow was very beautiful in a coconuts tree environnement.Staff hotel are very attentive to the customers desires and questions."

Bruynel said, "helpful & friendly staff, good location near to beach, good hotel facilities. Rooms not truely designed for really more than 3 but we squeezed in with 2 children, which was ok!!!If you are more than 3,make sure you specify how many beds otherwise your children could end up sharing with you. This is a common problem in most Asian accomodations!!"

Darren said, "Deluxe room was very good, incl aircon. Staff friendly and helpful. Good breakfast and nice pool. Plenty of local attractions could be booked at hotel."

Henric said, "The staff of the hotell was very serviceminded and kept the place wellcleaned. As we slept in a bungalow there where a lot of noices from outside. (it usually is in a bungalow). The breakfast was in my eyes a bit poor."

Anders said, "Excellent hotel. We loved everything about it: The rooms, the poolarea, the staff. If we ever return to Ao Nang we wouldn t hesitate to stay there again"

Steen said, "We had 6 very nice days at Tipa Resort.The staff at the reception were very kind to our children. The room was very clean and comfortable and had a nice view at the pool area and the sea."
