Castaway Resort Koh Lipe

the staff, the location, the rooms, the atmosphere: simply beautiful!

It was literally the best hotel I've ever been to and I've been to many. Super authentic and down to earth, yet fast internet to work. People who work there made me feel home. So did mosquitoes - they loved me. If you come here with babies, make sure to bring child-safe repellents. Mind there's no air conditioners, which is absolutely fine since all chalets are located in the very shady gardens. There's also no hot water but you don't need it there. SCUBA diving shop is right at the hotel and they are very good and not expensive. Food was simple but delicious and not pricey. The whole island is walkable, amazing sunset beach is 2 minutes away by tuk tuk. Just go there, you'll not regret.

A little piece of pure paradise Made the effort to travel to koh lipe after landing in Bangkok as our initial base to travel around with my two daughters, koh lipe does not disappoint and exceeded all of our expectations and beyond. Castaway resort is exactly as described, a short walk to the waters edge after being greeted by the amazing staff with a cold refreshing drink upon arrival will make you realise two things. 1. How much the journey here was worth the effort. 2. You really have made it in life if you have reached this place Our house was basic, truly beautiful and good value for money but we came for basic and was extremely impressed with our home Real castaways and an unforgettable experience for both my children and me We will return

This was our second stay at Castaway -- we came previously around six years ago -- and we were very happy to be back in Koh Lipe! The resort is lovely, the staff are friendly and it's in a good location. The rooms are pretty basic, but you don't need much when you're exploring the gorgeous island all day! The resort was very helpful in helping us organize our travel to / from Koh Lipe which I really appreciated. Through them, we also booked additional activities such as massages & snorkeling. This, too, was very easy and organized. One of my favorite things at the resort was the yoga they offered each morning. The teacher was really kind, skilled & I liked how early it was (7am) which allowed me to start my day on a positive note. When we travel, we always opt to stay at Eco Resorts and were happy to see Castaway doesn't use plastic straws and offers a water refill station to use (albeit the water is quite warm!).

The staff were always very friendly. The beach in front of the cabins was beautiful
