Dong Talay Lipe Beach Resort

We stayed over New Year 18/19. We knew prices would be hiked for the new year but booked anyway. The bungalows are adverised as Delux and they Are definitely not. They are dated and have patch work repairs to keep them functional. The staff are really helpful and the breakfast was adequate. There’s a music beach bar right next door which plays loud music till 1am then quietened till 3am but still...when you’re trying to sleep...not brilliant. We said to the staff but what can they do. The whole place needs money spent on it if they’re going to ask for for the overpriced non delux bungalows. Great beach location but so many more reasons to avoid.

1. The room is dusty and not well cleaned. Room too old to be stayed. 2. The area have a lot mosquito (small pond located near by). Due to that, they like to burn something so my cloth always smell bad! They supposed to give us electronic mosquito coil or any environmentally product. 3. Housekeeping didn’t top up new toiletries. We are staying 4 days and 3 nights. The toiletries still remain unchanged. 4. Housekeeping didn’t clean the bathroom and a lot of sand everywhere in the bathroom. 5. The corridor didn’t sweep and have a lot of sand. 6. Water flow very slow. If next room using the water, my room will get the full water flow 15 mins later. 7. When you on the shower, the water will showered the door or everywhere, not you! 8. So many dogs in hotel area. 9. WiFi connection only provide for 3 days even we stayed more than 3 days! 10. Always need to log in to the WiFi when your phone is idle for 10 minutes. So ridiculous! 11. They give us old CRT TV not the flat screen TV and We need to changed it 2 times as the area can’t received a good channel. As what being told by the staff! 12. The hotel didn’t care about the safety and cleanliness. Too bad to say you can see the water system back of your room! 13. The manager/lady owner is very rude.

Staff lazy and unhelpful. Manager was not on location or even on the island. He was rude when contacted by phone. Stay away from this resort. Hole in the roof of the beachfront room, insect nests in the toilet/shower. Breakfast cold even though we were the only guests. We had to leave after one night.

we loved this place. travelled with my young kids n they loved it too. food was tasty as well but it's expensive at this resort hence u rather take a short stroll down to the walking street where u can find much cheaper options
