The property is located literally on the beach which is one of the best on the island. You can fall asleep to the sound of breaking waves. Beautiful natural scenery all around. The hotel restaurant serves a decent selection of both Thai and European dishes of good quality.

This is a really remote part of the island, farthest away from the airport and far from any action. No dining or shopping nearby. A bike or a car is required if you want to go places. Taxi is another option, but ride-hailing apps are basically non-functional in this area and you'll have to ask receptionist to order a ride for you, which will be expensive. The closest convenience store is about 5 minutes away on foot, but the choice there is very limited and it closes early, and the nearest 24-hour 7-Eleven is about 20 minutes of walking by a busy road with no sidewalks. The beach strip adjacent to the hotel is actually very small and because of seawalls you cannot comfortably walk farther up or down the beach unless the tide is very low.

The location was wonderful, nice and quiet just a short drive off the main ring road. The staff were all very helpful and charming. The facilities were great but they really need a sunshade over the swimming pool as it was like a warm bath. Waking up to the ocean just outside our door was a lovely way to start the day. The food in the restaurant was always good and reasonably priced.

The room needed attention in a few areas such as sticking door lock, several leaks in the ceiling after a heavy rain shower. The television was problematic so we couldn't use it. Finally the water supply to the room was delivered via a pressure pump system which meant constantly fluctuating water pressure. Your shower was always going hot, cold, hot, cold which was a little frustrating at first.

Fantastic garden, beautiful location, great beach! Exceptionally comfortable bed in the beach front room (not as much in the premiere beach access bungalows, but also not bad). Very helpful staff. Overall very clean. The Beach Front rooms are a dream come true. Nice breakfast, but always the same.

There is some need for renovation, but nothing too serious: the tennis court was out of service, some lanterns in the garden gotta be fixed. The weakest part now is probably the restaurant: it neither lives up to some old reviews where it was supposed to be one of the best in the area, nor tastes good. Most of the dishes are merely ok, and getting a warmed up frozen sandwich from 7-eleven when you order a 120THB “grilled ham and cheese sandwich” is very sad. the staff tries their best to be welcoming and caring though.

Very cozy hotel, in a quiet beautiful place! You close the door of the room and it's like time stops. Inside there are panoramic doors and access directly to the sea. This room is like a movie theater for two people to watch the sunsets. We sat with my husband for three days, looking out to sea, dropping tears of delight. The sea is deep, no low tide. A few meters from the room! You get up in the morning, take three steps and dive into the sea. And also every morning at 6.30-7.30 above the sea rose rainbow! Truly a magical place. Now it is our favorite hotel. Very friendly staff, delicious food, perfect value for money. We are already booking this hotel for February.

When we were moved to our booked room two days later than originally planned we had an amazing time. Unfortunately they had double booked our room and we were putting into a room that we were less than happy with. Sadly, my the receptionist on when we arrived, lied to us and said there was a problem with the air-conditioning, but Wass found out that someone was in their room. next morning, the receptionist that was on fantastic apologised. Profusely refunded us the difference in money and also paid for a beautiful meal in their restaurant. The hotel went over above themselves to put right their error and we had a fabulous day. 

The fact that we were initially lied to, told we’ve been given an an upgrade which we clearly had not. The room that we were initially put into was shabby and in need of a great deal of work. 

If you want somewhere away from the tourists, then this is the place to go. Relaxing by the pool watching the beautiful sunset was amazing. We stayed in the One Bedroom Suite -Beachfront that was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was good.

The resort itself is a little rundown in areas, but that didn't impact our stay and it is a bit of a drive to any restaurants or shops. Overall we had a very relaxing time and the sunsets are beautiful to watch from the resort.

"The real Koh Samui experience" is the hotel's slogan and it's true. Excellent location: private beach, palms and no crowd.At all. So if you want to spend part of your vacation at the place that let you swim all day without any inconviniance-Lipa Lodge is the best choice. Special many thanks to Myow,who can solve any problem you can find. And also my many thanks to Cook of the hotel- all meals were great and served in no time.

Everything was excellent. You should buy anti-moscito repellent in the nearest shop to avoid them.

We liked that it was right on the beach and this particular beach (Lipa Noi beach) is very calm so it was super convenient to just head out to the beach and back to the room to freshen up. Staff are super friendly and kind. They do their best in spite of the obvious shortage of staff.

Communication can be improved. We were told at check-in that bike rentals were 250BHT (most places rent it out for 200BHT). We didn't say anything since it was more convenient to rent it from the stay. But when my husband went to do the paperwork for rental, they told him it was 300BHT. The same thing happened with booking a taxi. I had texted the lodge to ask and also asked at reception. At reception, I was told it was 900BHT and via text I was told that it was 1000BHT. We booked a Grab and it was 750 BHT. We do feel that all this can be easily sorted out if you clarify things early though.

Lovely place to stay on Koh Samui - away from the mass-tourism of Chaweng and Lamai. No other place on Lipa Noi beach can really beat their beachfront rooms. Overall, friendly and service-minded staff, well-equipped rooms, good room-service, good breakfast, and beautiful pool and views. It was hard not to love this place. We only tried the restaurant a few times and thought it was OK, but there are some good alternative restaurants in the vicinity, such as Mom's Kitchen.

Whatever niggles we experienced were quickly resolved and are not worth mentioning. The internet could be faster, I suppose, particularly in the beach front rooms.

We are a family with three teenagers and wanted 10 days somewhere that we could all relax and enjoy our holiday. The infinity pool was spotless and perfect, the sea was shallow and easy to wade straight from the villa or pool. The kids also enjoyed using the gym, tennis court and table tennis too. As well as the WiFi! The book swap was an added bonus! Our family bungalow had two huge bedrooms with plenty of space for the extra bed. AC worked effectively and we had two bathrooms. Sue and the resort staff were exceptional and always so friendly, often going above and beyond their duties, to help us and ensure we had a wonderful stay :) The food in the restaurant offered a good breakfast selection which included Thai and European choices. The lunch and dinner was great and we tried A LOT of different dishes on the menu and our kids loved their Thai cooking course with the owner and chef, Mr McDang! We were able to organise all the trips we wanted to do, through the staff and valued their local knowledge!

We loved every minute at Lipa Lodge, but this is a chilled out, beautiful beach resort and not a party place.
