Lipe Power Beach Resort

Beach Hut - very rustic, basic but fabulous location and feel makes up for 1 star ammenities

The room I stayed in the first row near the beach, there was near the garbage collection boat ,and often odors.

The employees were all nice and polite. Breakfast buffet was better than expected, always something to eat. The beach in front of the hotel is nice, but it’s also where all the long tail boats park. Must be 75-100 boats parked along the beach so it’s not a place you’ll want to play and swim. A 5-10 min walk north will put you on a great part of the beach. Didn’t go south. Place was a little hard to find as we walked from Pattaya Beach where ferry drops you. It’s about a 10-15 min walk down walking street and through town. The industrial ferry parks about 75 yards north of resort. We were there 5 nights and it was there 4 of them unloading and loading. I don’t know the schedule, but i don’t think it comes and goes very often. It’s not a big deal, but it was an eye sore on an utherwise pristine view. It was 100+ feet long, quite tall and a floating piece of rust so it was very noticeable. Also use it as a garbage hauler so the last day was pretty smelly as they loaded it with tons of trash. As soon as it left you would never have known it was there as it just sits right on the beach. Maybe it comes a couple times per high season (March 3-8) this year. Taxi boats take off just north of hotel so it was easy to grab a long tail to another island. Cheaper prices than in the city since you negotiate direct with taxi boat driver. It was a good stay. We’d stay here again if we returned. The rooms/cabins were comfortable enough (A/C worked well) and location was good.
