Great option with a private beach!”

I recommend staying in a hotel on Ton Sai Bay as this is quieter at night, you have easy access to the beach, and you can easily walk to wherever it is you are trying to go! My friends and I stayed at Mama Beach Residence on Ton Sai Bay and it was an excellent, more budget friendly option. One concern that I had prior to my trip was many reviews for lots of hotels said that the rooms were not that great. On Phi Phi, you are not going to find a luxury hotel unless you want to pay big money for it. I highly recommend Mama Beach Residence as it was only a 5-10minute walk from Ton Sai Pier, we had our own private beach, which not many Phi Phi Island hotels have, it was quiet so we could sleep at night, and we were a quick 15-20min walk from the party beach of Loh Dalum Bay. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean, and we had a nice breakfast!

Boutique Beach Front Property with Great Service!”

Situated near to the one end of the cove from Ton Sai pier,this 3 storey boutique Mama Beach offers a quaint, peaceful, quiet place for guests. Staff were polite, courteous and helpful all the way. Rooms were clean, a/c was cool and strong, towels nice and clean. Beach towels are provided as well seperately. 32" flat screen TV, bar refrigerator, balcony with chairs overlooking the bay, shower and toilet amenities provided for. Breakfast was included and its a simple delicious western fare but definitely enough to fill your stomach and kick start the day. The good: because it's situated in almost a corner, expect it to be quiet and free from the many tourists that come to Phi Phi for day tours. The beach in front of the property was nice and quiet and waters clear enough for snorkelling or just a swim. Outside the building theres a water hose for you to hose down all the sand from your feet before returning to your rooms. Beachfront massage just next door, a small beachfront bar as well! Offers free luggage transportation services to the pier at 3 different timings so you don't have to lug it around while you go shopping or relax at the beach The flipside: relatively far from the main 'town area' so if you are looking to go there for shopping or food it can be quite a walk. (The hotel restaurant do offer some pretty nice affordable food as well) Lacking a pool (but who needs a pool when the beach is just 100 feet away?) Getting there: Ferry services are available from different piers at Phuket or Krabi. I took mine from Rsassada Pier near Phuket Town. Taxi fare (metered taxi) from Phuket airport to Rassada is about 650 to 700baht. Ferry operate only a few times a day to Ton Sai Pier Phi Phi. Check the pier website for information. Ferry one way = 350baht booked online. Return 700baht. Journey one way ferry approximately 2 hours. Once you arrive at Ton Sai pier, there will be various hotel staff waiting to take you to the hotel. Look for the one holding up the

Great hotel and perfect location!”

I had a great time in Koh Phi Phi at the Mama Beach Residence. Staff is very nice and helpful, the rooms are very nicely furnished and very comfortable : I had the best nights of sleep of my holiday in Thailand. The hotel is located left of the Tonsai Bay, whereas the town centre is right of the pier. Great location because only 10min away by foot of the centre which is very practical to go out, go to the diving clubs, etc, but very quiate during the day to relax on the beach or sleep sound at night. Perfect to relax or rest after a big night out! If staying at tonsai bay, this is also where the beach & water is the nicest. Although if you are looking just to relax and go to the beach, better not choose a hotel at tonsai bay but go to another beach of ths island (meaning you have to take long tail boats to get to the city centre)

Lovely, quiet, small hotel with great amenities”

Mama Beach had the best facilities (from what was visible exteriorly) compared to any other hotel on Tonsai Bay. Phi Phi is an H-shaped island, and Mama Beach is located at the southeast corner of the horizontal line in the H. Our room was on the 3rd floor with an ocean view, and was clean and comfortable. The shower had a curtain from shoulder level and up, so that we could pull it back to see the gorgeous mountains. Breakfast was included in our deal and was good (Western-style food). Mama Beach was the only hotel in the area to have a private beach (with lounge chairs on top of a nice wooden platform) as well as a very cute oceanside bar with thatched roof and tasty tropical drinks (with very reasonable, not marked-up prices). They also have an oceanside massage hut (1 hour massage = 500THB which is a little bit expensive, but you can hear the ocean!). The hotel provided free luggage transport to and from the pier. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a place to stay that is not polluted by the noise of the crazy party scene on the northeastern side of Phi Phi. It was excellent!

Good location, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere”

Nice hotel. Room was large and bed was comfortable and we had a great view of the beach and ocean. The main beach on Koh Phi Phi can get very crowded and noisy including into the night but Mama Beach Residence is about 15 minutes walk from the centre of town and away from the crowds and noise. The beach on Phi Phi can be very crowded with boats with only samll areas roped off for swimming - at Mama Beach you can walk out the front straight into the ocean. The breakfast was also good and they organised tours and ferry tickets for us with no fuss and a good price. My only criticism is the coffee at breakfast was pretty bad.

Charming hotel at the quieter end of Ton Sai Bay”

perfect quiet location at the end of the beach and only a 10 minute walk from the main pier and hustle and bustle of ton sai bay. very relaxed contempory hotel with a homely feel, wonderful friendly staff, great food (the dinner we had on the seafront was romantic and the best we had on phi phi). this is a perfect alternative to large resport style hotel. we had a balcony with a beautiful view overlooking the sea and there were decking areas right on the beach with large matresses just for mama beach guests. when the tide goes out it is too shallow to swim and there is alot of coral so be careful where you tread, but if you walk about 5 mins up the beach the sea is alot deeper.

Idyllic property at the far end of Tonsai Bay”

Highly recommend Mama Beach Residence for your stay in Koh Phi Phi. It's location at the very end of Tonsai Bay leaves you with a 10 minute walk of town, but far enough away to avoid crowds and noisy nightlife closer to the pier. Porters with greet you at the ferry to transport your luggage, so no worries about having to haul bags. The rooms are immaculate and stylish with beautiful verandas and open-air showers. The staff is very friendly and warm and the restaurant gets high marks for a delicious breakfast and a top-notch Euro-Thai dinner menu.

Fantastic quiet location, with great service!”

i had a fantastic time at mama beach as it was great to escape the party scene and enjoy the beauty of koh phi phi. the only downside was considering it was off season there were a lot of repairs being done, which took away a little from the tranquility of the place. in saying that though ther service was great, in particular tombe was so helpful! the yoga option was also a bonus and i thoroughly enjoyed the classes. i would definitley recommend mama beach for those visiting koh phi phi and do not want to be staying in the hectic centre of the island.

Just perfect!”

mama beach residence is theplacetobe if you are looking for relaxation. the location at the end of the beach is perfect as away from the pier and the village and the party beach on the other side. still reachable within a 10 minute walk. depending on the weather you can hear the music from the beach at night a little bit but it is not disturbing at all. the rooms are very nice and stylish, new and modern, very clean. the staff is very friendly and always happy to help. the several thai massages i got there from tik as well as her advice of exercises i am now doing every morning solved my back problems! thank you very very much for that, tik!! ;d the only little minus is the view which was a bit disappointing when we first arrived as it is blocked by all the boats. but we got used to that and enjoyed all the other advantages. nevertheless i still give it full rate as we still had a very good and relaxing time there and would definitely go there again should we come back to phi phi when we visit thailand next year.

friendly staff”

being aware that ton sai is the 'party' area of koh phi phi but also convenient for shops and restaurants my partner and i decided to base ourselves there but wanted to be away from the main noise and busy bars. this hotel is perfect for this. it is a ten minute walk from the pier so about twenty mins from the further bars/ restaurants. you can at night sometimes hear nosie from the bars but this is inevitable as the area is in a bay and noise is contained, it doesnt keep you up though. the rooms are clean, modern and have the necessities. due to this we booked an extra night, it was the last room, they were short of one kettle and hairdryer which meant we lost out which was a bit frustrating as they should have enough equiptment for every room, especially if they are often fully booked. the best bit is the staff, from the boys who collect you from the pier, the restaurant workers up to the reception staff they are all eager to please and very helpful. at reception there are two thai ladies and a french girl and this combination seems to work well and the place seemed very organised all in all a great place to stay

Wonderful hotel, great location.”

mama beach is a wonderful smaller boutique hotel. it is right on the beach, with a great swimming area. almost all the rooms look over the water, and each has their own balcony. it felt comfortable, warm, friendly. we very much enjoyed our stay here. plus, it was quiet, because it was at the end of the beach. only a 5-7 min walk into the town area. very nice location - easy to access shopping, restaurants, adventure tours. the breakfast was outstanding. fresh bread, yogurt and muesli, eggs, thai food - it was all included. we looked forward to it every morning. the staff were always so friendly - as was the owner who was always around. we would definitely stay here again if we came back to koh phi phi.

Stunning location on Phi Phi”

Absolutely loved our stay at Mama Beach Residence. The location is amazing right on the beach and I loved the relaxed no-shoes vibe. Best cocktails of our holiday in Thailand from The Cliff Bar. The staff - especially Christina - were amazing and super accommodating of our young baby. We also held a lunch for 10 girls there for my sister's Hen's Night and Christina and the team did a wonderful job at making it a beautiful and special location. The only downside is the loud noise during the night from the nightclubs but that must be pretty much anywhere on Phi Phi because we weren't exactly close to them!

Amazing place to stay”

We were really happy that we booked our stay at the Mama beach residence. Everything was fantastic; the room was very nice with an amazing view of the beach and the sea. The hotel is located directly at the beach at the end of the bay so you don't have much traffic like in other places and it is quiet as you are not being disturbed by the horrible music played at the many beach side bars. Also the bar and resto offered great drinks and food so we chose to stay at the hotel more than once instead of going to center of town, which was only a nice 10-15 minute walk. The only bit that gave us a bad impression was with the staff. Although friendly and helpful, there were 2 occasions where we left upset: First time was when we booked an afternoon trip that would start at 2pm the next day. However, 5-10 minutes before 2pm the next day they came to tell us that the boat was gone already and we had missed it. We had a bit of an argument because they told us that that was the last boat of the day and that we should book for the next day. Fortunately we found another boat tour a bit further on the beach. So if you want to go with a boat, they usually leave at 1.30 PM and not 2 PM as they told us. Second time was the day we left. They have staff to bring your bags to the ferry pier which is really great. The problem was that we were waiting at the pier and our stuff wasn’t there. After asking around everywhere it was clear we were at the right spot and someone told us it wasn’t the first time this happened with Mama Beach. I ran back to the tourist shop at the start of the pier so that they could call Mama beach for our bags. Oh, and the phone number of the hotel on the Agoda booking confirmation was out of service! They said over the phone that our bags are at the pier and we should find them there. So going back at the exact spot on the pier they didn’t arrive until 10 minutes later. We actually missed our boat back because of them. Really bad experience leaving the place.

Beautiful, Clean, nice & attentive staff”

We had an amazing time at the Mama Beach residence. Everyone from the porter who met us at the ferry to the check in/front desk staff and the manager were extremely nice and accomodating. The hotel is situated on the far end of Ton Sai Bay in a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere and only a ten to fifteen minute walk to the most popular bars and restaurants. The room was very clean with a beautiful view of the ocean. I highly recommend this hotel.

Perfectly chilled”

Everything about Mama Beach Residence was perfect. Occasionally there is a septic smell, but that's everywhere. This end of Phi Phi has lovely water to swim in, rent a kayak for great snorkeling just 10 minutes away, easy paddle to Monkey Beach - beware, unfortunately the tour boats feed the monkeys which makes them aggressive, very disappointing. Relaxed restaurants/bars on the beach, massages on the beach. Staff are extremely accommodating. Cat who runs the hotel is gorgeous.

perfect”

Mama Beach was perfect. The room was spacious and with a beautiful view out accross the ocean. The location of the hotel is one of the standout features of the hotel. Phi Phi is only a small island and very touristy with a big nightlife, so the centre of the island is busy, noisy and a little dirty, but mamma beach is right at the very end of the island, which means it is much quieter and relaxed than many of the other hotels on the island, but still within very easy reach of the entire island. Everything about our stay was perfect, from our greeting on arrival, the breakfasts, the helpful staff and the beach. I will never stay anywhere else on phi phi.

Beautiful Location Away from the Noise of Town”

The Mama Beach Residence is set way off to the side of Ton Sai Bay. If you see pictures of the bay, it's VERY near the giant rock faces on the right as you look at the island from the bay (hope that makes sense.) This is both a good thing and a...well...depends on your point of view. The good thing is that it's very quiet because it's away from the noise of town that can stay pretty loud until the early hours of the morning. The flip side is that it's a good 10 minute (hot!) walk into town if you want to do anything like eat, shop, look around. There's a dedicated swimming area out front where no boats can enter, which is great. The hotel also has a restaurant. Never ate there, though, so can't comment on it, but it looked fine. The staff was helpful and nice. Wi-Fi will cost you 100 baht, but there is no time limit (at least as if this writing). Was there for 4 1/2 days and the 100 baht covered it all, so well worth it. The trouble is that it occasionally goes down. Not the hotel's fault, though, just part of living on an island. You may have to ask the staff to check it out, and they'll call their hub somewhere in town where a button just needs to be reset or something like that. The rooms were nice. One thing I had a problem with was that the light in the bathroom is only controlled by a motion detector. If it didn't detect any movement after 10 seconds the light would go off again. That can be annoying at times...well, pretty much all the time. Still, a nice place in a very cool location. Would stay there again.

Excellent location--best on Koh Phi Phi!”

Above all, Mama Beach Residence offers THE BEST location on all of Koh Phi Phi. If you're looking to party heavily and like a lot of noise and drunken teens, stay on the north side of the island. If you like peace and quite, a beautiful beach, restful swimming, good service, and tranquility, go to Mama. She will take care of you!

wonderful hotel in a wonderful place”

after a horrid 2 1/2 days in Patong, i arrived to paradise. Mama Beach is at the end of the beach on the bay at Ton Sai. It is a small cluster of buildings and has its own beach area complete with lounging areas. The water is lovely and shallow but full of coral on the floor that makes it a little difficult to walk on when the tide is out. That is such a minor "complaint" compared to the daily beauty that awaits you. The breakfast included is great. I did not eat dinner there but they feature a nightly meal and serve it beachside on the wooden lounge areas at small tables with candy colours lamps tableside. very intimate. looked wonderful. The staff is absolutely lovely. The rooms are a combination of a clean, crisp and comfortable airconditioned retreat with an ensuite outdoor bathroom. The balcony looking out to the beach is a great place to sit and read and listen to the ocean.

Quietest location on the beach”

so happy with the resort. our first trip to phi phi and didn't know what to expect. mamas is on the beach on the same side as the pier. someone met us at the pier (which we weren't expecting) and carried our luggage the 10 minute walk to mamas. they also have free service to carry your bags back to the pier. the beach is quiet and private which is a huge difference from the main beach onthe otherwise of the island which is covered with super loud nightclub bars. the loud bars are fun for a few drinks after dinner but it was nice to have a quiet beach to come home to. the open air bathrooms are a little interesting... the breakfast at was delicious and more than we could ever eat.
