Phi Phi Arboreal Resort

Phi Phi Arboreal Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
The hotel is on the hillside. Rooms are superb, though expensive. The problem is to get the room which faces the landscape (we were lucky). If you get the room facing the hillside you will be disappointed. The stairs from the village to the hotel are not the problem at all, there are just about hundred of them.

Phi Phi Arboreal Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
il faut monter 278 marches pour atteindre les chambres. la climatisation ne fonctionnait pas à notre arrivée, et la douche ne pouvait être réglée. elle était bouillante. le bruit de la fête nocturne de la plage montait jusqu à la chambre le petit déjeuner était très restreint. par contre nous avions une très belle vue sur koh phiphi. le service est très correcte. en conclusion le prix de la chambre est trop elevé par rapport à la situation et la prestation.

Phi Phi Arboreal Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
I took a group of young adults to Phi Phi for a birthday and we stayed at Arboreal. The girls were not thrilled with the stairs but they got used to them. Not a big deal if you don t suffer from any health issues. You just need to plan your day so you are not up and down them too many times. The valet service for your bags was most welcome. The men take your bags from the ferry and take them all the way to your room. I wouldn t want that job! At the end of your stay they take them all the way back to the ferry. We all thank you for that service. I picked this hotel due to the location because I wanted some peace and quite from the party noises. It was still close enough for the girls to get back and forth from the bars. The rooms were clean the bathrooms worked well. More than I can say for some of the other hotels on the island. The Bathroom is so important on Phi Phi due to the fact that they don t have any fresh water supply it s all reclaimed from the sea. You are hot and sweaty most of the time and a good shower is hard to beat. So two thumbs up for the shower. We didn t eat there so can t comment on the food but the facilities looked nice and clean with a beautiful view. We can recommend a great place to eat Garlic 1972. Great service and the food was excellent. We had two meals there, dinner and breakfast. Not one thing was bad. Cheap, small but very good food. We enjoyed our stay and when in Phi Phi again will stay with Arboreal. Oh one more note of interest we were there during Makha Bucha holiday and I couldn t believe that all the bars are CLOSED on that day. So try not to go on that holiday if your main reason for being there is to party.

Phi Phi Arboreal Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
The view was great, and the room was big and clean. The bathroom was very basic. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and assisted us with our luggage up the stairs to the room and back down to the pier(there are a lot of steps depending on how high up the hill you stay). If you get a room high up on the hill, be prepared to walk a lot of steps every day. The breakfast could have been better, it was just the same american breakfast every day, but was sufficient.Overall we were satisfied with the hotel, and the staff were great.

Reservation service:
Smooth, no probems.

Phi Phi Arboreal Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
Great resort with friendly staff, far away from the noise on the beach and the drunk people in Phi Phi towncenter. OK, you have to climb quite a few steps (more than 100 if your bungalow is located on top), but the views are great. Porterage available from the pier (and back) at 50 baht pp. Bungalow was spacious and clean, the view from the balcony was great. Somewhat noisy aircon, but you can t do without. Bathroom seemed unfinshed (only partly tiled), but was clean and with hot shower. Towels and bed linen changed daily unless you indicated this wasn t necessary. Towels for beach provided if asked.

Reservation service:
As good as ever before. Resort knew we were coming and staff was waiting at the pier. Special wishes had been dealt with (3rd bed, nicest view).
