P.P. Blue Sky Resort

PP Blue Sky I had imagined this resort to be a secluded paradise, but in reality, it nestles among a cluster of other small resorts and hotels. The location is right on the beach—absolutely beautiful—but lively with the constant hum of boat taxis. The boats themselves are quite the spectacle, though the noise and black smoke make you wonder about the environment! The room exceeded all expectations: spacious, freshly painted, and charmingly decorated. The toilet did have a leak, but it was barely noticeable compared to the overall quality of the room. Staff were a bit leisurely in the heat, but a friendly smile from you was always returned in kind. Food-wise, we ventured to Viking Beach and the hotel to our left—both were delightful. We also took a fantastic excursion around the island, including some idyllic beaches, and went diving among a rainbow of colourful fish. All in all, it was a lovely stay, though anything beyond a week might feel a little quiet due to limited activities. The Phi Phi Islands are breathtaking, though arriving to the sight of Burger King and McDonald’s felt oddly out of place amidst such natural beauty—but, of course, it’s their choice!

Unfortunately, it's not clean. Even if the location is good, we have a view of the garbage dump at the hotel from the balcony. There are up to 10 monkeys roaming through the garbage. Garbage is deposited around the whole complex (not visible from the beach). This has been our worst place to stay so far. Can only discourage. Breakfast must be booked in and is bad. Better go to the resorts next door for dinner. I would only give the hotel 2 out of 5 points.

The hotel is located on the most beautiful section of the most beautiful beach (Long Beach) in Koh Phi Phi. The rooms (we had two rooms in the main building and no bungalow) were super comfortable, beautiful and very clean. The only shortcoming would be water quality on tap, but that applies to virtually every destination in Thailand (or almost Southeast Asia). In addition, the property does not have a proper restaurant, but for us that was not a criterion in this case. The staff is super friendly and there are several additional free services such as beach towels, SUP, diving goggles, etc.
