Phi Phi Island Hotels in Phak Nam

Stay away
Date: 22 Jan 2012
Place is nice, but service is terrible. You have to pay (double) for everything (food, internet, transport) because the place is isolated. Don't go there, there a thoussands of better places!!!

Fantastic

Off the beaten track.
Date: 08 Jan 2012
We enjoyed our 3 night stay but that would have been our limit. The beach is isolated so you really have no excuse but to relax, enough chairs, and two hammocks. The beach is also very rocky so bring...

Little paradise

Just 2 words: little paradise! We loved the location on a secluded beach only accessible by 30 minutes long tail boat from the Ton Sai pier or by 1 hour sweaty trek in the jungle. The basic, clean...

Live like a castaway

Poor value for the cost
Date: 20 Nov 2011
