The location is about a 15 minute walk from the pier, on paved pathways. There are no motorised vehicles on this part of Phi Phi, so everything is moved by hand pulled wagons. We were pleased to see a staff member from JJ Bungalow and Guesthouse at the pier, taking our bag, and led us to check-in and then carried our bag up the steps to our room. There were many steps, so this service is essential. He also provided the same service when we left.
We wanted a quiet location away from the noise of alcohol-fuelled partygoers, and this was just the spot. They have a mini mart as part of the JJ complex, with good prices, and many restaurants nearby. The beach is about ten minutes’ walk.
Our room was very spacious, with a huge bed, dressing table, wardrobe, chairs and table, tv and kettle. The bathroom was also very spacious with an open shower that was easy to regulate. The pool was large and clean, with a spa area and lots of lounges. It was in full sun until lunchtime, when the trees provided shade until the sun moved past and it was in full shade and a beautiful temperature for swimming.
This hotel is not new and sparkling, but we paid a modest price for a large room in a quiet location. We were happy with our decision, on an island that has so much variety of accommodation. The provision of a porter to manage luggage is an essential service for this situation.
