Thiptara Resort

This is one of my favorite stays so far in Thailand. Management and staff are responsive, and kind. Just a block from a beach access point, the bungalows are well spaced with plenty of greenery surrounding. The bathroom is well lit, well ventilated naturally by an opening around the top. It is spacious with separate areas for toilet, sink/mirror, and shower, preventing shower water from getting in the other areas. There are towel bars, bidet, stationary shower head and handheld shower head. The main room is also well lit with natural light during the day, as well as multiple overhead lights with additional table lamps. There is plenty of built in storage (wardrobe, and along the wall opposite the bed) to keep things organized and out of the way. The air conditioning works perfectly and WiFi reaches the room well. I did not try the television. The porch has a table and seating in good condition, as well as a large drying rack. The pool is a good size for hanging out and has some fun lights. Water and toilet paper are provided daily. Overall the rooms and property are well decorated and pleasing. Things that could be improved: the bedding is microfiber which is hot and uncomfortable on the skin. Cotton would be more comfortable and cooling. The towels are large and fluffy however they seem to shed white fuzz, which sticks to the body, bedding and clothing. I’m not sure if they are just new towels that will shed less eventually? I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at thiptara. The bungalow was clean and comfortable. 2 min walk from the beach and there’s restaurants and everything you want within walking distance. It’s about 10 min by scooter to the fisherman village. They have a nice pool and nice chair to relax around it. Also the literie was the best we had in Thailand, so soft!

This should not be classed as a "resort." We were given 1 roll of toilet paper and 2 bottles of water when we arrived, and then that was it !! There is no room make-up or cleaning unless you pay extra and no daily drinking water or toilet paper at all, and the bed was also so uncomfortable. We have stayed at other budget resorts and bungalows on Samui and Phangnan, and this lack of the basics is never the norm! The nearby beach was a complete mess. We were shocked by the sheer amount of rubbish on it.

Excélent séjour! Un très bel endroit à très peu de distance de la plage (à mon avis, 100m). Un personnel, de la responsable aux dames chargés du nettoyage toujours à l'écoute avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Le seul problème étant la sortie de la piscine qui reste un problème au vue de l'escalier et de l'échelle inox dont les montants s'ont beaucoup trop gros.

Nous avons passé de bonnes vacances dans un bungalow confortable avec personnel à notre écoute. Piscine agréable, plage proche, petit coin de calme. La plage est calme et très belle. Vu magnifique dans la baie.
