Idyllic Concept Resort

We enjoyed our stay at the Idliyic, 2 adults and our 9 yr old. We had a room overlooking the pool (not the main pool and beach). It was lovely and spacious, and suited our r family perfectly. The pools were lovely, we all loved the swim up bar. Food was amazing and only a little more expensive than places to eat outside the hotel. We always made breakfast (which is unheard off) , lunch was amazing and we went to the seafood bbq on the beach. I would def stay here again, although felt the hotel is getting a little tired. But like I said I would stay again in a heart beat. Location on the island was fab, beach was fab, hotel staff were amazing. We had a couple of issues in our room, our air conditioning stopped working during the night (the workmen were at our room within 5mins), they couldn’t fix the problems and within 15 mins of reporting the issue, we were being offered another room for the night, whilst the issue was resolved. It was and were back in at 10am the next day. We couldn’t fault the hotel or staff, we loved it and hopefully we will return soon to the idyllic and Koh Lipe.

Perfectly situated with fantastic views of the Mountains. Very modern and felt luxurious compared with much of the island's properties.

Hard beds, noisy rooms (I-leaf) and allowed dogs inside during breakfast.

Staff is friendly, hotel is in superb condition and we love the free life jacket and kayak!

Everything was perfect! They made everything so easy from the moment we stepped off the pier we were greeted with hotel crew asking which hotel we were staying at. The man from Idyllic escorted us to his tuk tuk carrying 2 of our large pieces of luggage by hand. We did not arrange for any transportation, it was simply provided without having to request it. Once we arrived we were greeted by welcoming staff members with delicious cold beverages and a nice young lady who I believe might’ve been hotel manager. She helped us with every issue/concern/question we had in the most welcoming manner. What stood out to me was how genuine and sincere the staff was with ensuring a perfect stay for us. They arranged every pick up and drop off for taxis and booked a long tail boat tour on the same day without any hiccups. Aside from their glowing customer service, the hotel amenities impressed me. They offer free kayaks and snorkel gear for the first hour and charge a small fee after that. There are sunbeds available with umbrellas set up directly in front of the beach. Another big perk was that the beachfront to Idyllic was wide open without the congestion of any boats (which is nice because sunrise beach can become quite crowded with boats going in and out). Our room itself was pristine and cleaned to perfection every day. And last but definitely not least, their continental breakfast is fit for royalty. It may be the best breakfast I’ve ever experienced. Thanks so much Idyllic!!!

The location of this property is amazing. Just walk into the sea and go snorkeling!

Unimpressive and disappointing! Stay at the Mali Resort (Sunrise Beach). This is the first time we have stayed at a “resort” and left so disappointed. The room was clean. The bed, however, was as hard as a rock. The room was sparsely furnished. The “partial ocean view” from the room was very partial and not worth paying extra for. In fact, nothing we experienced at the Idyllic Concept justified what we paid for the room. When we checked out we were asked how our stay was. Before we could respond, however, the attendant (Jay) turned to deal with another guest. Pretty well summed up our treatment during our stay. The grounds were poorly kept. Cigarette butts littered the dead grass in the area across from the pool. We even saw dog feces in one spot. The pool was clean in the morning, but by mid afternoon the water became cloudy and sludge collected around the edge. We have always wondered about pools with swim up bars. People stay at the bar in the water for hours without moving. This pool was small for one with a swim up bar. The service at the restaurant was just plain horrible. Tipping did not seem to help improve the situation. For the most part we found the staff unfriendly. There were exceptions, however, and some staff would smile or say “hello. The two upsides we found were that the beach out front has fewer long-tail boats tied up in the water, and the breakfast buffet had a wide range of choices available.

Stunning hotel, right on the beach close to the main Walking street.comfy room. Great breakfast.

Right on the quieter side of beach. Lovely and friendly staff.
