Location
Nestled on the serene and picturesque Long Beach of Phi Phi Island, HIP Seaview Resort offers an idyllic escape that stands out for its location. Guests frequently rave about the stunning views and peaceful ambiance that the resort provides, situated high on a hill overlooking the turquoise sea. This remote and tranquil setting ensures a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of Phi Phi's more crowded areas.

The beauty of Long Beach itself consistently impresses with its clean, quiet shores and unbeatable vistas making it a favorite among visitors. The seclusion of the resort, away from the noise and chaos of Tonsai Bay, offers a heavenly place for relaxation, perfect for those who seek tranquility. Its location on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, along with its stunning sea views, leaves many guests feeling that their stay has been very special.

While the hotel’s somewhat isolated setting means it's a bit distant from the center and requires a longtail boat ride to reach the markets, visitors find this adds to the charm and peace of their stay. Those looking for an escape from the crowds and commercial areas appreciate the remoteness and natural beauty that envelops the resort.

For guests prioritizing peace, natural beauty and stunning views over luxury and convenience to city services, the HIP Seaview Resort offers an exceptional location for a rejuvenating retreat on Phi Phi Island.

Breakfast
The breakfast at HIP Seaview Resort @ Phi Phi has received mixed reviews with many guests highlighting both its strengths and areas for improvement. On the positive side, many guests found the breakfasts delicious, very tasty and nourishing, enjoying a variety of delectable options such as freshly prepared eggs, yogurt, muesli and even local specialties like rice soup with shrimp. A significant highlight for many is the stunning view of the ocean from the breakfast terrace, which adds a delightful touch to the morning meal.

Reviewers also appreciated the friendly staff and the fresh preparation of dishes, particularly the eggs. The breakfast included in the stay was seen as an added value with some noting the coffee as a strong point. The à la carte service allowed for personalization, although this was noted to be less convenient compared to a buffet service.

However, there were some critiques regarding the variety and format of the breakfast. Several guests mentioned the limited selection, lack of vegetables and repetitive menu over multiple days. The breakfast was often described as modest, basic and sometimes uninspiring. Some felt it was not a highlight of their stay and pointed out the absence of a buffet option, which might have provided more variety. Despite these points, the overall consensus leaned towards a pleasant and sufficient dining experience, particularly enhanced by the beautiful and panoramic views of Phi Phi Lay.

Dinner
HIP Seaview Resort @ Phi Phi offers a mixed dining experience for its guests. The hotel's restaurant features excellent views of the sea and friendly staff, creating a pleasant atmosphere for dining. Positive feedback highlights the delicious dinner offerings, particularly the pad Thai, as well as cocktails that guests found lovely. The portion sizes are generous and prices are reasonable, adding to the appeal for some visitors.

However, the dining options are notably limited and the food quality is inconsistent. Some guests found the menu small and the choices not to their taste with specific critiques targeting the bland green chili and the use of frozen pizza. Additionally, the wait times for dinner can be long and the restaurant closes early in the evening at 8 PM, which might be inconvenient for late diners.

For those looking for more variety and higher quality, nearby dining alternatives are available. The Beach Hotel next door, accessible by descending to the beach, is recommended for its good food. It's important to note that local restaurants close early, often by 9 PM, making it necessary to take a taxi boat if one desires more nighttime activities. Overall, while the dining experience at HIP Seaview Resort has its strong points, guests looking for extensive or gourmet options may need to explore beyond the hotel’s offerings.

Rooms

Many reviews highlight the cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations, ensuring a restful stay with cozy bedding and spacious layouts. Some bungalows even exceed expectations, providing a serene and peaceful environment with terraces or bay windows that enhance the natural beauty surrounding the resort.

Despite these positives, the resort's age is evident in several areas. Numerous guests mention that the structures and furniture are old and in need of significant maintenance and renovation. The bathrooms, in particular, have been described as poorly maintained with issues like raised floors and inadequate drainage.

Some rooms appear to be undergoing renovation and reviewers have noted that the newer bungalows are much more satisfactory in terms of comfort and cleanliness. However, other areas still require attention to bring the overall standard up to modern expectations.

A notable downside for some guests is the resort's location, which is quite a distance from the island's center, necessitating a notable walk along the shore or through the jungle. Despite this, the effort is often deemed worthwhile due to the stunning views and the tranquility of the surroundings.

Overall, HIP Seaview Resort @ Phi Phi provides a mix of charming, picturesque bungalows with breathtaking views and the potential for a peaceful retreat, but it does require ongoing updates and better maintenance to fully meet modern travelers' expectations.
