Accommodation and facilities:
The location is quite far away from the center where all the action is. So a nice and quiet location, but there are resorts closer to the town center that offer the same, Bay View was just a bit too far for us. The resort itself is quite streched out as well and on a hill, so if staying here you ll have some climbing and walking to do. The bungalows have a beautiful view over the bay but are a bit dated. They were clean though, but could have done with a floor towel to prevent the whole bathroom from getting wet after a shower, more than just the one grounded electrical outlet (just the one in the room, located in the bathroom) and a bottle opener was not present as well, despite soda bottels in the fridge. But all in all the bungalows were good IMO. We were not very happy with reception though: not very friendly on checking, despite us arriving by private transfer, so no other guests checking in at the same time. On our request we received a one hour later checkout time, but after half an hour we were chased out of the room by the reception manager, even threatening us with an overstay charge. On checkout it became clear she had overlooked the note made on the room schedule for that day. We were also sold tickets by reception for the transfer back to Phi Phi, on our very specific question: is a transfer to our hotel, location, included, we were told: yes, included. On the ferry we were told it was not included though, so we had to sort this out on the spot. So all in all we were reasonably happy with the hotel, but would not return unless others we would prefer would be fully booked. On the other hand, this hotel, like all businesses on Phi Phi, is much more interested in making the sales now than they seem to be in returning guests.
Reservation service:
As usual fast and good.

A decent hotel for the price but nothing special. The bathroom was a bit dated and the balcony had a hole in it, but no major issues really. Most of the staff were very nice too. The view was fantasic from the balcony.

I have never commented on a hotel before, but while this hotel does have great views the front desk staff are terrible and have no intention of helping you. The grounds staff (cleaner, handy men etc... are very nice though)Phi Phi has lots of hotels with nice views so would defiantly not going to stay there again. Try Long Beach is not too far from the town and is the best beach and nicest hotels.

Had deluxe see view and I think if you want something with great see view just few step to the beach without ships and still close to restaurants and shops there is not too much other choices. The restaurant on the beach is also something I haven´t seen in other resorts around. This resort is last still not such far from PhiPhi center. Behind this resort I think it´s already too far from everything.

Bay View is a nice hotel, with good quality of their rooms/bungalow. As the name hints you, the bungas are at the hill, with a view of the bay and of Phi Phi Ley. Very beautiful! We walked in to Tonsai Village and to Loh Dalem bay with the kids, no problems, its not that far. The restaurant is a little bit pricy, but there are other places close by.

Отель немного разочаровал. За такие деньги ожидали большего. Комнаты обшарпанние. Домики расположены в 4 ряда. Мы проживали в 4 ряду, вид на море загораживали деревья и домики. Приходилось подниматься по очень крутой горке. Из особенностей местной фауны - много муравьев, ящериц, один раз на балконе увидели даже небольшую змейку. Рядом уютные, тихие пляжи с белым песком. Пешком ходили на Лонг Бич, дорога очень живописная и красивая. До центра острова с многочисленными магазинчиками, рынком и кафе идти не очень далеко.

This was our third stay at the Bayview, and again we had a wonderful time. We arrived while extensive renovations were taking place to the Bayview villas, so had the pleasant surprise of an upgrade to an Arayaburi room! Thoroughly enjoyed the walk through the lovely garden every day - so beautifully cared for. On one occasion, on the walk to breakfast, we saw a tiny hummingbird bathing in the water gathered in the leaves of a yukka plant! And as always the Bayview staff were lovely - we were greeted every morning by smiles and friendly care. Some highlights - a party to open their new O2 beach club (DJ, fireworks, canapes, dancing girls, best of all a fire show); watching the wildlife from our balcony; boat trips with Tek and Kip from the water taxis. One small gripe - way too many speedboats are entering Phi Phi waters - each visit this becomes worse. It is hard to imagine Phi Phi being able to retain its beauty if this continues! However, we will definitely be back, as there s still plenty to love about Phi Phi. We were very sad to leave the Bayview. Thank you Moi for making our stay so good!

Fantastic as always.
