Zeavola,
Phi Phi Island, Laem Tong
The rooms at the Zeavola were wonderful. Clean, modern, and tastefully
decorated. our bungalow had an attached bathroom, so we didn t need
to go outside as some other visitors had complained about in other
reviews I read. breakfast was included and was terrific. the thai
donuts were tasty and if the buffet spread wasn t enough, you could
order from one of 8 or so special breakfasts. The Maharaja was our
favorite. Everything was worth the money we paid. The biggest drawback
was the number of speed boats that pulled up around noon to bring
snorkelers to the resort next door for lunch. When the people were
done with lunch around 1, they hovered around the beach area until
the speed boats left at 3. We decided to use the pool or head to Jasmine
for lunch around this time to avoid the craziness. The Holiday Inn
has a Happy Hour from 2-3, 7-8, and 10-11. We frequented the bar there
for buy one, get one free beers and local cocktails. On our last night
we had a terrible dinner at the Zeavola, but it could be blammed on
the fact that new ownership changed over that day...fish was overcooked
and inedible and the lobster bisque was all salt (and I love salt,
but this was too much). Fill up on breakfast and eat dinner at Jasmine!
All in all, I would still go back...loved the resort! |

Zeavola is a beautiful resort. We stayed there 4 d in February in
the Garden Suite. The outdoor open area is beautiful but the mosquitoes
are killer. We couldn t stay out there for more than a few minutes
before these pests drove us indoor. Also the bathroom is out there
too so toileting can be a stinging experience. |

Very charming, upscale resort on the north end of Phi PhiIsland. Easily
accessible by Speed Boat from Phuket or Long Tail from Phi Phi pier.
Beautiful beach and attentive staff Great local restaurants just down
the beach to comlement the resort restaurants. The Thai style cottages
are nice but we have stayed in nicer (sensi Paradise on Ko Tao) at
lower prices. While very comfortable, these seem to be a little below
the Small Luxury Hotel claim. But overall, we had a very relaxing
and enjoyable stay at Zeavola. |

If you want to go to heaven before you die, go to Zeavola! The Hotel
is fantastic. My best vacation ever. Food prices at the Hotel are
slightly cheaper than Europe but expensive to be in Thailand. Food
is very good! Negative: They speak poor english. Some mosquitos and
bugs in the bungalow. |

Zeavola, Phi Phi Island, Laem Tong
Zeavola is a very nice hotel, very expensive too (4:3 package @ 12900THB/night
2nd week december pariod). The room are very big and nice. We had
a garden view room, but all rooms are visible from the very nice sanded
path allowing to join all rooms, so you are never really alone. The
beach is very nice BUT NOT PRIVATE, each day 5 to 8 speedboat full
of Tourist stop 20meter from the Zeavola beach with ca. 40 to 80 people
who can access the zeavola beach space. This mean that from 11:00
am till 15:00 pm you really can t be quiet. This was a shame and we
had to leave 2 days (of 4) the beach to go to our room to be quiet!
For that price it s absolutely not normal!!! By the way we had a very
cold welcome by the Baxil Restaurant staff, who s offer very nice
dishes. The breakfast is just beautiful, as you have choice beetween
near than 10 different breakfast style, plus buffet with fresh fruits,
breads & croissants and so many things you can t just taste all in
one breakfast!!! Great time anyway.. But for that kind of price we
expected much more from the service and the staff... By example we
d liked to take breakfast in our room, but this wasn t possible!!!
Only if you go and take food from the restaurant and back to you room
by yourself... BE CAREFULL!!!! We asked for a transfert to Tonsai
pier (8:00 am) to take Ferry to Krabi... The hotel charged us 650THB
(was 800 THB to come from Tonsai pier by longtail boat to Zeavola)...
But this price reduction was not as generous as it seems to be...
As the boat had to stop 250meter from the beach due to lake of water
on the other side of the pier!!! We had to transport or 20Kg luggage
by ourself... This was incredible for an Hotel of this price and class
!!! By the way, if we tooked the other side of the island to go to
the pier, the boat could go to the beach directly... This mean that
if you have to take a longtail to go back to Tonsai Pier, ask to go
by the side where the zeavola beach is and not by the backside of
the hotel! We had anyway good time there, but we expected really much
from this place, the price is really to expensive for that kind of
services! I suspect that as we had a 4:3 package and lower rate than
the hotel website ones we got a lower quality room and services! So
be carefull, you better go by yourself and deal price when you arrive!
If I can give you another counsel.. Don t go to Koh Phi Phi if you
d like a quiet stay... Or if you want to leave the touristic path..
You better go elsewhere than Koh Phi Phi or Koh Lanta... There many
other island much better and more quiet! |

The accommodation was fantastic and the service was impecable, the
staff were friendly and completely accommodating to our every need.
I would highly recommend a visit to the day spa and you ll love the
bean bags on the beach. |

The hotel is excellent, near the beach, facilities are good, service
is wondeful. A fantastical experience. If possible, I will choose
the hotel when visit Phi Phi island next time. |
