Awesome resort !”

We stayed 4 nights at Salisa from Jan 16th, 2018 to Jan 20th. The resort is just what we were looking for, something quaint, quiet, and not commercialized. Our 3 person bungalow was clean and had an ocean view from our front porch. We ate several meals at the resort restaurant and the food was good. The Walking Street was very close. In my opinion, Sunrise Beach, where Salisa is located, is the best beach on Koh Lipe. Great views of the sunrise, several islands off shore (a couple you can swim or kayak to), and the white sand beach was never crowded. The water in front of the resort is mesmerizing shades of emerald and full of coral reefs full of corful fish. You can walk in between the reefs for several hundred yards out and still be in only waist/chest high water. Great snorkeling right from the Salisa beach front. We took an all day snorkeling trip in a longtail boat right from the beach. The snorkeling trip was awesome with seven different stops among the islands around Koh Lipe.

Exceptional”

My husband and I stayed here with friends and absolutely loved this place. Great vibe, friendly young staff, good restaurant with a fabulous breakfast ...right on lovely Sunrise Beach. We also booked a snorkeling trip with them visiting some of the surrounding islands in the marine national park which was fun. Saw a god variety of colorful fish and coral along with other local attractions. We can recommend Salisa Resort to anyone visiting Ko Lipe!

Fantastic place ”

Our stay at Salisa Resort was great. The staff are extremely friendly, the food is very good and the location is great as it's right on the beach, in the middle of sunrise beach, so 5-10 mins walk to other resorts/restaurants or walking street. The rooms are clean and spacious and have TVs but as the price suggests, this is a more basic, budget place. Definitely Good value for money compared to nearby resorts who charge double or triple.

Ideal beach front location”

This is a beach resort. It’s not an intercontinental. The AC worked, mosquitos were under control, and they served breakfast in the morning. Was the bed comfortable? Not particularly. Was the breakfast amazing? No, not at all. What this resort has going for it is it’s location. Total walking time to the beach from room SD1: 1 minute. If you’re willing to walk a minute further there’s an excellent scuba business called Satun Dive. 4 days in Koh Lipe were an absolute blast and I would readily go back and stay at salisa. Sunrise beach for the win!!

Simple, basic and tranquil”

We stayed in the Sea view room, though I insisted the sea-breeze rooms as they really did looked better on the website of Agoda, unfortunately, had to go with my boyfriend and he insisted. So anyway when we arrived after a rough boat ride, the sea breeze room did really look awesome as they were newly refurbished and the seaview was a little "aged". We were welcomed by very friendly host and was given maps that helped us around the island. Was informed that I was the first Singaporean that arrived in their resort. Guess Lipe is not a common destination for us. Room facility was very basic, there was a little musty smell in the room and I climbed up to clean the thick layer of dust from the air-con filter. The room was immediately freshened up, we bought our own mosquito coil which was not necessary as the host had already prepared them every night! The toilet was pressure for water was not very strong but adequate and warm. You could either eat in the resort which price range was similar to the night streets. We did arrive in the low season month, expect the streets to be cold and empty. Likewise for every resort in the Koh lipe. Do not expect much in any hotel/resort in Koh Lipe, it is as basic as it can get! Hang around at night, great ambiance, saw a few stars though I had night blindness (Touch light will be very handy).. Also the locals all know salisa, so it is easy to find your way there! Also they are able to arrange private or shared tours for snorkeling trips to the nearby island.

Value for money ”

We were staying in Salisa Resort for 2 nights and salisa resort make a great place for us honeymooners. It was a pleasant stay and the location was great. Not really far from other places such as walking street, pattaya beach and others. If u want a nice beach with a great view of sunrise, i would love to recommend Salisa Resort. And u can rent a kayak for 100bath for 1 hours to watch a sunset or kayaking to island nearby.

Great place to stay on lipe”

Stayed for 3days and recommend this friendly little place , great value for money Kobie and his staff were so helpful in every way. Great breakfast and great food in the restaurant. We had a see breeze room which was fine, good aircon and clean. Location is perfect for us, short walk to town centre and right on beach. Pleasant snorkeling off small islands about 200m offshore .Salisa supply kayaks and snorkeling gear. There is also dive shop and massage place on iether side. Nice bar at reasonable prices. Wanted to stay longer but time didn't permit. May not be the best looking resort by far but makes up for it with the personal touches. Don't let first appearances put you off when approaching from the land side. they organised our departure ferry and bus at a good price and all went smoothly. Wouldn't hesitate to stay at salisa again.

Great location, attentive staff”

Staff at this resort are really working hard to please all their guests. They are attentive, and with the staff and families all on the same base, there is a real family and intimate feel to the place. Helpful, without being pushy in advising about trips, and also keen to know how trips/diving has been when you return. The food is all freshly cooked, so you might have a bit of a wait, but it is worth it! The Happy Vibe bar notches up its music at times, but it is all in keeping with the general atmosphere of chilling out. The massage place on the resort is the best in Koh Lipe! Overall, given that prices on Koh Lipe are generally much higher than most other Thai islands, Salisa offers good value for money and a very idyllic setting.

Great location”

Salisa is located right in front of the most beautiful beach in Lipe, Sunrise Beach, so as far as location goes you can't get any better than that. 2 minutes walking to get to the beginning of walking street, 2 diving shops on each side, the barrier reef just in front of you, perfect. We stayed in a standard room, I would definitely recommend a bungalow instead, although both the room and the bungalows are very expensive for what they offer, according to Thai standards. There is a really nice bar next to Salisa, problem is, they play house music all day long so if you want quiet it's not the best. Breakfast was good and abundant, the manager Coby is a very nice and helpful person. So all in all I would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic!”

If you are visiting koh lipe, this is the place to stay. Located on the sunrise beach (the nicest beach on the island) and just three minutes away from the walking street. The view from the restaurant is spectacular and people are very friendly, always making sure you have everything you need. They even helped me with a valentines day surprise for my girlfriend. Thank you so much for everything!

AWESOME stay! ”

Rooms were as seen in the images when booking. No frills about it. Right next to the beach front where there were bars and easy access to booze and drinks! Coby the owner really did an amazing job to tell us about the island and activities available as it was our 1st time there! We will definitely be back to Salisa Resort during the next open season! :) Kudos to Coby!! Great stay!

About the nicest place on the island”

This is owner-managed place and you can feel it. Woby will make you feel like home, he's very helpful, speaks perfect English and is a great company. The beach is very quiet and much nicer than sunset beach. There is beautiful view during the day and great atmosphere in the evening. Villas are spacious and nice. It's a short walk to the bustling walking street. There's a very nice bar sharing the same space and some other services right next to the resort. I wouldn't stay anywhere else next time in Koh Lipe.

Good resort”

The resort is well located on Sunrise Beach, with excellent views of the sunrise, it is in close proximity to other hotels and scuba diving schools/massage/yoga along Sunrise Beach. The restaurant serves very good food for dinner and reasonably priced too. The included breakfast was good as well. Resort staff were very helpful and friendly, always ready to help out when needed. Massage by the beach is fantastic that we returned twice during our stay.

Really enjoyed our stay here! :)”

Great location, right next to Sunrise beach with the prettiest swing overlooking the sea. 5 mins walk to Walking Street, 10 mins walk to Pattaya Beach via Walking Street. But when you first arrive, would suggest that you take the taxi (50baht per person) as it can be a bit difficult to find. Staff are really honest, friendly and sweet, offering to help us take photos and always with a ready smile. Took the Sea Breeze room which was decent and clean. Although the shower was a little low on pressure (think the whole island is like that though) and the bed was abit hard, I'd still stay here again simply because of the location and staff. The breakfast provided was also pretty good. There are boats in the ocean in front of the hotel but it didn't stop us from enjoying a nice swim or kayak. The entrance (road) can be dark and has holes but a simple torch light and some careful steps are all you need. Overall I loved every moment here and would definitely come back! :)

Salisa Resort = mixed bag of tricks”

6 days at Salisa Resort was a great place to stay. The breakfast was excellent. The internet was not always working. No TV in the room = OK with me. Only one night the adjoining beach front bar was playing music that did intrude into my room = just the constant bass beat! Beat! BEAT! Otherwise the stay was without incident. The staff was friendly and provided a good family environment. When I wasn't busy with scuba down the beach, they gave me good advice on other places (beaches and such). • The island of Koh Lipe is quite nice, but be warned that there is broken glass on the beach that Salisa Resort fronts to. I picked some up one day going to the scuba shop, returning 10 minutes later to find even more broken glass. It seems the supply of broken glass is from the beach bars that sell beer in bottles to people who do not care about the environment. Paradise lost? Perhaps... until the authorities step in, which is overdue.

Go-to hotel in Koh Lipe”

Salisa has always been our favourite whenever we are in Koh Lipe. The view is nice and it has a big open area that is perfect for kids to run around and enjoy themselves. Food is OK and the staff are friendly too.

A decent stay”

First of all, we have to walk quite a distance from ferry terminal to Salisa Resort. However it was quite a nice walk from pattaya beach to Sunrise Beach. Check in was fast and the staff speak good english. Wifi is strong especially near to beach and cafe area. There is bar overlooking the sunrise beach perfect for sunrise watching. Room is clean. However there is centipede and worms crawling after bathing. Is quite common for beach front chalet. Breakfast is simple but good. Overall, is a nice stay and definitely will recommend the others to stay here.

Wish we had stayed longer”

Great resort and great location, I got A very good deal on the room only paying 50 dollars a night for the basic room and it was completely adequate. The hammock put the front of our room, the grassy area, the large shading trees. The vibe of the place is great and you have a wonderful beach to swim at nearby. Breakfast buffet was OK. Staff were good. Room good. Location very good. Value the best in ko lipe for the room probably.

Just Painted”

We checked into the Salisa for a three day stay. The staff was very nice. We had a premium bungalow with easy access to the beach. The room had just been painted and reaked of a fresh paint smell. I brought this to the attention of the front desk and they called (I assume) the manager. He switched us to another room, but this one had been painted too. Their answer was to spray a little air freshener and basically shrug their shoulders. I went next door to the Wapi Resort. They had a nicer room for considerably less money per night. I advised the manager we were leaving the Salisa and he acted like he couldn't of care less. There was no offer of a refund on our nonrefundable room. I accept the non refundable policy for my error, but I'm feeling in this case, I should have my money returned or been offered credit. I applaud their trying to maintain their property, but renting a room that smells like paint is a poor business decision. Now the silver lining, the Wapi Resort was great and we will definitely return!!

Perfect spot”

Although the standard rooms are super super simple, no air con, Salisa has a killer spot in this amazing beach. The staff is nice, and always willing to help with tours and transfers (Kobi is especially helpful). The only bad thing: the room had a bad smell coming from the bathroom's drain that sometimes spreaded to the whole environment. And the bathroom itself might look dirty (but it was really clean) for some. Also, the alley to get to the hotel might seem a little bit dodgy and insecure (so we always used the neighbouring hotel alley to get to the walking street). Oh, also Kobi arranged a free 'moto-cab' for us to get to Pattaya when we were leaving. That was really nice.
