We booked this hotel as a last minute decision and stayed here for one night (wish we had stayed longer) The hotel is lovely, very rustic and secluded. The views are fantastic. The staff were incredible so friendly and all waved us off while we left on the long boat. We used the hotel long boat for transfer to the hotel. Booked this direct with hotel. My hubby did the view point. It’s quite a treck and he got bits to bits off the mosquitoes However, the views from the top were amazing. Food and drink were reasonably priced. We stayed in B09 which was right near the beach on the end and the views were breathtaking. Our Villa was lovely, basic and very rustic but added to the charm of the surroundings. Walking to the restaurant for our evening meal was an experience( it was like I’m a celebrity with all the critters along the path) advice make sure you have a light on your phone so you make sure you don’t stand on anything. I squealed the whole way there and back. Our room was noisy through the night with the waves crashing and the sounds of crickets but can’t expect anything else due to where the hotel is. The beach is beautiful, however, there were plastic bottles, rubbish in parts. Some of the steps need repairing which you use to go to the beach. Shame really. This place is amazing and would defo go back however, needs a few tweaks to make it WOW. Thanks again TheCove.…

If you are looking for a Robinson Crusoe adventure, this is the place. We had a beach bungalow from which you can hear the sound of the waves at night. The room was very clean with a mosquito net and no bugs entered our room during our 2-night stay! The place feels remote but is only a 30-minute boat ride from Ton Sai. We didn’t bother with the hotel shuttle as we heard it’s really not convenient so we paid about 1000 bath for our transfer. The staff is very friendly and attentive which makes up for the food that’s very average and if I may, they need to up their game with the breakfast (Motel 6 like). Now, very important: If you want to get to the viewpoint via the path that’s near the Cove, please make sure you are well equipped. The path is extremely steep with tons of mosquitoes along the way that will eat you alive so wear the right shoes, long sleeves and be armed with a good deet-free mosquito spray. Once you get to the top, you can go back down via a clear road which leads to the charming and bustling village of Ton Sai.…

Stayed here as a young couple while travelling round Thailand for 4 nights, seen this place as a break from the busyness of travelling. The rooms were absolutely unbelievable, clean tidy and hygienic waters topped up everyday + new towels. The food is some of the best we’ve had in Thailand run by some great staff who are always happy to see you and serve you, they was very good. Location wise you are a boat trip away from the main land but you can just get on a shuttle boat that they provide or book one through reception we didn’t think it was a big deal or too hard like some reviews go on. The beach is great the resort is 10/10 we’ve really enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it.

We were two Indian couples wwho booked beach bamboo shacks. Good things: 1. The Cove staff was super friendly. 2. The resort is located in a segregated section of the island and hence, there is very less crowd and gives the feeling of a private beach 3. They give kayaks and scuba gear for free to take a water ride 4. The resort is neat and clean and the staff helped with the luggage at all times Bad things: 1. The bamboo shacks that we paid and booked in advance were promoted as rooms whose doors open directly to the beach, however, we were allotted shacks which were on the extreme corners. In one, we had to walk all the way 150 mtr to the room and then climb 15-20 stairs to reach to the room. In the other there was a 80 mtr walk to be able to get a clean view of the sea. This was the biggest disappointment. 2. Once you are in the shack, there is no connectivity to the reception. One has to walk all the way back to be able to request or complain for anything. 3. The rooms are not safe. They have clearly mentioned a warning that the resort management is not responsible for any death. We woke up to a snake on the toilet seat. Wildlife wise, anything and everything can bite you, even in the rooms since the animals can climb through the bamboo shack into the room. 4. The resort only offers steam rice and sauted vegetables in vegetarian option. Everything else is non-veg. Carry your packaged food in order to survive. 5. The resort is located in a place from where one cannot go to the part of island where parties happen. The resort charges handsomely for a boat ride to that location and back. 6. The resort has limited timings of pickup amd drop from phi phi pier. Please get in touch with them and arrange your travel accordingly to avoid paying for boat taxi.…

Amazing few days in the cove phi phi, absolutely recommending to visit(not for long stay 3-4 days max) amazing staff, food decent price, delicious and pleasant look. There’s route to the city and view point( through the jungle(those who like hiking highly recommending), make sure u wear right shoes( sandals or trainers). Beach bamboo bungalow it’s basically on the beach and gives u an amazing experience. Private beach, and free snorkelling and kayaking provided by resort.

Wow! What an amazing experience. The Cove’s motto is “ come as guests, leave as friends and return as family” and it fits perfectly. We stay is a beautiful beachfront hut on the most picturesque beach I’ve seen in Thailand so far (and I’ve seen a lot!). The hospitality of all staff and the owner was warm, friendly and welcoming. The water taxi’s only come twice a day which adds to the tranquility of Rantee bay. The restaurants is superb! Huge menu catering for seafood lovers, vegans, vegetarians, Thai food and western food. We stuck to the Thai food and it did not disappoint! The best Thai food I’ve had to date!! Free snorkeling and kayaking is offered to all guests and a great walk (about 40mins up and down) to the view point. Stunning views of neighboring islands and tonsai bay. And after a busy day snorkeling, kayaking and hiking you can relax and unwind with a full body massage overlooking the ocean. The cove has it all! As I write this review, admiring the stunning scenery, I’m seriously contemplating missing my water taxi haha. The cove is a gem!…

After booking this trip I then read the reviews and at first I got scared because of all the complaints, but then I calmed down and read between the lines of those comments. One guy put the beach is small and there are too many rocks and complained when it was high tide😂😂😂😂 R u kidding me. First off it’s called the cove so yeah the beach is not like Miami Beach but it’s certainly big enough at no point did I ever say I wish I had more beach. Second it’s not rocks its coral reef which makes it for an amazing experience for snorkeling and seeing all the fish. U have to swim about 20-30 meters before u even get to the “rocks” anyways lol. And last if u have a problem with the tides take that up with moon. People also complained about bugs in the room. Yes there were a few bugs in the room nothing crazy, but I understood ur on a remote island in the jungle on the side of a mountain. If u want zero bugs in ur room then just forget about the amazing view and stay in town or at Bangkok. People also complained about it being a 20 min boat ride from the main part of town where all the restaurants and bars are. This is deff a Preference thing for sure. I prefer the separation of having the hotel where I stay be paradise. Super quite, the beaches super clean, and the water crystal clear. And then go in town to party and eat at different restaurants. The beaches in town because of all the boat traffic are no where as nice as the hotel. And it is loud with lots of people which I don’t mind when I am ready to party. We had so much fun. Slinky beach party is a 100% must go. If ur going to go on boat tours deff book them in town they are way cheaper. All and all I could not have asked for a better experience and vacation. The hotel staff was so friendly and helpful especially Gartoon at the front desk and Pele the hotel manager. PS. If u don’t get a massage by Annd ur doing it wrong.…

We stayed at the Cove on Kho Phi Phi for a few nights, in between Phuket and Krabi. It couldn’t have been any further from Phuket, in terms of how quiet it was; at one point, we thought we were the only ones there, although it did begin to fill up when we left. The views from the room were stunning and the almost deserted beach was gorgeous. The food in the restaurant was lovely - really tasty; and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. However, the accommodation didn’t match the rest of the experience; it was very primitive and the steps to the place were extremely steep. Also, there was a dirt path to the main road which was again quite steep. The whole place could have done with a good lick of paint and a spruce up.
