An honest note on names, ratings and prices
1OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort (formerly Zeavola)
Rated 4.5 out of 5 across about 2,850 reviews and ranked #1 of 45 hotels on Phi Phi Don, from about $126 a night. It sits on the quiet northern tip at Laem Tong. One reviewer describes it as jungle-style luxury directly on a private, turquoise-water beach, with indoor and outdoor bungalows that feel private. Guests highlight the renovated, spacious rooms, attentive service and the Zeavola Spa perched on a hill with sweeping views. One couple who had stayed when it was Zeavola wrote that the Outrigger stay was even better. Expect rustic luxury rather than glossy polish, with one guest noting their village suite was a little dark but comfortable and spacious.
2SAii Phi Phi Island Village
Rated 4.3 out of 5 across about 6,400 reviews and ranked #1 Best Value among Phi Phi Don beach resorts, from about $101 a night. It sits on a secluded stretch of the north coast, about 30 minutes by boat from Tonsai and 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes by speedboat from Phuket. Guests praise the beachfront setting, high-standard bungalows, friendly staff and breakfast. One reviewer counted five restaurants, two pools, a long beach, kayaks, a spa, diving classes and daily activities, making it one of the easiest places on the island to stay put for several days.
3Phi Phi Holiday Resort
Rated 4.1 out of 5 across about 3,300 reviews, with all-inclusive options and a beachfront setting at Laem Tong. Families recommend it for its family suites, kids' club and several pools. One guest who visited at the start of the rainy season enjoyed how quiet it was. Prices swing a lot between sites, so it's worth comparing.
4Viking Natures Resort
Rated 3.8 out of 5 across about 1,950 reviews and ranked #3 Best Value among Phi Phi Don resorts. It's known for its private beaches and quirky, nature-built design, with one reviewer calling it very special and original. It suits travellers who want character and seclusion over standard resort polish.
5Phi Phi The Beach Resort
Rated 3.7 out of 5 across about 1,970 reviews, on Long Beach. One reviewer praises its amazing views and beautiful private beach with great snorkelling right off the sand. A dive centre on the beach and a nightly family-friendly fire show from about 9pm make it popular with active travellers and families.
6Paradise Resort Phi Phi
Rated 3.6 out of 5 across about 870 reviews, with beachfront villas a few steps from Long Beach. One reviewer enjoyed daily massages at the resort's massage spot, the handy minimart and staff who helped book the ferry onward to Phuket. It's a relaxed, practical base on the island's best family beach.
7Phi Phi Cliff Beach Resort
Rated 3.5 out of 5 across about 570 reviews, with a pool and beachfront location. Listed prices varied widely at the time of research, from about $103 to $245 a night depending on the site and date, so compare carefully.
8Phi Phi Natural Resort
Rated 3.5 out of 5 across about 740 reviews and ranked #8 of 45 hotels on Phi Phi Don. It sits in a calm, quiet spot in the north of the island. One reviewer recommends it for snorkelling. Another praised the welcome, the free kayaks and snorkelling gear and a room literally on the beach. Reviews are mixed, though. Some guests say parts of the resort are dated and poorly maintained. The grounds are also hilly. Bring mosquito repellent, as the villas are surrounded by greenery.
9Phi Phi Island Cabana Hotel
Rated about 3.3 out of 5 across about 1,470 reviews, on Tonsai Bay. One reviewer says the location, nice pool and views make it worth the price, with easy access to nightlife, but warns not to expect a five-star resort. More recent guests are harsher. A January 2026 family review called the standards very poor despite the fantastic location. Another guest was kept awake until 5am by beach party noise. Choose it only if you want to be in the middle of the action.
10Phi Phi Villa Resort
Rated 3.2 out of 5 across about 900 reviews. One recent guest described a mixed stay, praising the lovely location close to the beach and pool without being overly busy, but noting some downsides. It's a budget-friendly beachside option rather than a resort experience.

Practical tips
Choose Laem Tong or Loh Bagao Bay for the quietest beachfront stays. OUTRIGGER, SAii and Phi Phi Holiday Resort all sit away from Tonsai.
Pick Long Beach for a balance of quiet nights and easy access to Tonsai. It's a short longtail ride away.
Check boat transfer times and costs. Northern resorts are about 30 minutes from Tonsai by boat.
Compare prices across several booking sites. The same room can cost several times more on one site than another.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Booking Zeavola and OUTRIGGER as if they were two different resorts. They're the same property.
- Staying on Tonsai Bay if you want quiet nights. Beach parties can run into the early morning.
- Expecting five-star polish everywhere. Several resorts are rustic or dated, so read recent reviews.
- Forgetting mosquito repellent at jungle-set resorts. Greenery brings bugs.
