Hi First of all its not within walking distance , when you arrive in phi phi you wlll be at the other end of the island and there are no roads to your hotel , but dont worry there are loads of longboats to drop you off the pier and they will come up to you offering there transfer services , and where you are dropped off a tractor pulling a people mover will drop you outside the hotel free of charge . its really straight forward so do not worry and have a good time.

For party and bars, it's mostly in Tonsai which is the nearest, kind of, city here. From Natural to Tonsai you need to take the ferry or shuttle boat, that's the cheapest way to go there and the last ferry / shuttle boat going back to natural is 17:30. In this part of the island, it's more for relaxing and being with nature so mostly restaurants around here close around 22:00- 23:00. For eating, other than the restaurants in the resort, we have some local ones, which is jasmine or the restaurants beside it.

Good Day Mr. Nico, There are designated smoking areas in the resort. You will know it when you see our big ash trays. But you can smoke anywhere around the resort or the island. We just advise guests if they smoke else where, other than our designated smoking area, to avoid throwing the cigarette butts on the sand or anywhere. Let's help each other save nature. =) -Louise Lagura Guest Services Assistant Manager

Good Day! If you're looking for a transportation going around the islands, like a tour, we offer private Longtail Boat and our Hop on/ Hop off Boat Tour. For the private Longtail the price is per boat not per person (6 person max per boat) but you can do the tour even if you're alone or 6 person. For the Hop on / Hop off boat tour, it's more sightseeing around the island. You only go down the boat at 3 destinations, which is at Laemtong, Long Beach and Tonsai. -Louise Lagura Guest Services Assistant Manager

Now that we’ve been to Phi Phi Natural Resort, I can answer my own question for the benefit of other travelers: It is very easy to get to the resort and a bit of a fun adventure! There are 2 ferry stops on Phi Phi Island, the First is the main stop at Tonsi Pier, do not get off the ferry here (the ferry people will put a sticker on you and tell you what to do - it’s painless). You get off the ferry at the second stop, where hotel staff will greet you. They will get your bags and haul them to land, where you will board a trailer pulled by a tractor! Like I said, a fun adventure! I won’t spoil it anymore than that, but you and your bags will be delivered directly to the hotel front desk! For our departure, our travel agent booked us a private long tail boat back to Tonsi Pier. This is considered the more “VIP” way to go, but honestly, I think taking the ferry back would have been easier! Our long tail driver had to park about 200 yards off the beach because the water was low, and we had to walk 200 yards in 6 - 8” of water to the beach. Thank goodness the long tail guy CARRIED our big suit cases about 55lbs each! It was cool, but the ferry was cheaper, air conditioned and pulls onto the pier alongside ferry going back to Krabi or Phuket... Long story short, you will not be carrying your own suitcases down a hot tropical beach (which was my fear) - which ever way you go, the hotel staff, ferry and/or long tail folks are all extremely helpful and make it as easy as possible for you! The Holiday Inn and other hotels at the secluded end of the island had similar methods. Hope this helps everyone out! Enjoy Phi Phi - it’s beautiful! We stayed 3 days and I wish we would have stayed 1 more! Last tip - charter a private long tail right off the beach in front of hotel. We had our own private long tail all day (almost 7 hours) for 2000B. Our driver was Gibley or Gipley / long tail boat #41 - he was great, took us everywhere, no rushing, left when we were ready to go, great time!
