Mali Resort Pattaya Beach Koh lipe

On our way back, they took us to the wrong departure port, on the other side of the island, and we missed our ferry. The right port was actually next to the hotel, so we had to carry all our luggage back ourselves. The shower was a disaster too. The bathroom stayed flooded for hours because the water didn't drain properly. There was no real privacy, since you could see the whole neighborhood, and the only curtains were blackout curtains. Don't waste your money on this hotel.

The bathroom has a distinctive Bali style, though now and then you might share it with a tiny gecko. It adds to the charm. The place is beautiful, very comfortable and kept to a high standard, with an amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended.

The location on Pattaya was perfect for me, within walking distance of Walking Street and Sunset Beach. The hotel area had a nice vibe, and the beach connected to it was beautiful. Breakfast was good and made to order. The sunbed setup was a joke. People rush to put towels down to reserve beds in the morning. To get one, you may need to show up between 07:00 and 08:00 AM. There aren't enough beds for the guests, and adding another row would be an easy fix. The current setup feels like what you'd see at lower-budget charter hotels. Our bungalow needs some care. It was old and run down, and the shower had no divider, though some of the bungalows look newer. Service was a bit hard because English communication wasn't easy, and the staff didn't smile much. I'd avoid staying here during peak season.

The beach pickup was a nice touch, and we liked where the hotel was. Finding an empty sunbed was another matter, since lots of guests seemed to leave towels on chairs without using them. Breakfast was okay, the usual sort of spread. The room looked nice at first, but we later noticed dead mosquitoes and other marks still smashed onto the walls. We stayed two days, and felt it was a bit expensive for what we got.
