利普島卡斯特韋度假村 (Castaway Resort Koh Lipe)

星級評鑑以住宿資訊（飯店提供之服務與設施等）綜合評等為基準，僅供參考

Castaway Resort Koh Lipe has one of the best atmospheres of anywhere we stayed in Thailand. The whole place has such a relaxed, beachy vibe and the beachfront setting is beautiful. We loved spending time there, the food was great, the staff were lovely and even the resort cats were adorable. Happy hour was also excellent 🍹 We stayed in a breezy beachfront bungalow which looked amazing and really suited the island feel of the resort. The only reason we personally wouldn’t stay again is the lack of air conditioning. Because of the jungle surroundings there are a lot of mosquitoes, so you need to sleep under the mosquito net, but once it’s down it blocks most of the airflow from the ceiling fan. We found it very difficult to sleep comfortably in the heat, even with the doors open and fan on. We completely understand the eco/natural concept of the resort, but adding fly screens to the doors/windows would make a huge difference as guests could keep airflow moving without worrying about mosquitoes. Overall though, a genuinely lovely resort with an amazing atmosphere and somewhere we’d absolutely return to spend time at while visiting Koh Lipe.

Beautiful with natural vibes

Not enough beach space for me. Staff were very accommodating.

the service was brilliant , the setting and food , happy hour . Lovely staff , great yoga . A brilliant place to stay

The views from the beachfront bungalows were absolutely stunning. You could lay in bed, open the balcony doors, and spend hours just relaxing, and listening to the waves lapping gently on the beach. The water clarity is amazing and you can snorkel right off the beach and see reef and fish. It’s just a short swim to the drop off if you want to do a little more advanced snorkel session. The staff was super friendly and attentive and the SCUBA Dive shop is directly below the restaurant. You can rent kayaks and standup paddleboards there as well. I would walk down the beach daily and check out the other resorts and amazing beach views. It’s a short walk to the Walking Street and endless options for restaurants, shopping, massages, smoothies and ice cream. Drop off laundry services are all over and proved very helpful. I can’t rave about this location enough. My room had a fan and no A/C, so make sure all the amenities suit your needs, but it was so peaceful and relaxing and super quiet at night. Great location for a relaxing vacation.

Cabins were clean and tidy on arrival, the staff were also super helpful, probably the best service we received in Thailand. The cafe on the beachfront was really nice, proper tasty food and drinks. Great location, 5 minute walk to Walking street and right on the beach. When we booked this initially our thought was ‘how bad can it be without AC’ for a few nights. For us, it was a bit unbearable, really struggled to sleep while we were here, I can’t hold that against Castaways as we knew before we booked but it’s something you need to consider. On the final day there was a whole bunch of ants that had invaded toilet and I woke up covered in bites that weren’t from mosquitos, not sure what they were but wasn’t very nice. After noticing the bites we took the bed covers up to check for bed bugs and it was kinda gross, not sure how often they change the mattress topper sheet underneath.

Overall I enjoyed my stay at the resort. Positives for me was that it was quiet/peacful, there were plenty of helpful and friendly staff and it was a good location. I enjoyed waking up early and listening to the birds sing. The immediate beach area is nice too although I wish there were less boats there for safety reasons. I thought the restaurant and bar was very good, reasonably priced with lots of options. Would prefer them to have some healthy breakfast options like granola and smoothie bowls. The only option was muesli which wasn’t very nice. Unfortunately there are a few things you should be aware of if you book here. There is no hot water, no aircon (not an issue for me as it was breezy), no WiFi and the mobile signal is very poor. Also, it’s quite dark on the ground floor in the cabins, so I actually had difficulty shaving as my vision is not the best. The stairs is a tiny bit steep and the steps are small if you have mobility issues, just something to be aware of.

Loved it

Beautiful but bare bones and rustic resort in Koh Lipe. Wonderful staff and dining options. No Air Conditioning or hot showers made it challenging though. The beach area is also crowded and very loud because of long tail boat traffic.

We liked the dining and communal area which always had a refreshing breeze. The staff were super-attentive and the menu for food and drink was really good value. The view over the ocean with its blue and jade colours and traditional sailing boats is to die for and the memory will carry me through the cold European winter. Our cabin was set back from the sea which was a shame and the fan was really needed. Remember to take insect repellent with you, as the mosquitoes were ready to sting.
