The best view on the island! Hotel is in need of a refurbishment, especially the pool areas where there are broken sun loungers and a massive hole in the ground

Stunning location with amazing views

The location of this hotel is stunning, with the pool at the very top of the complex. There is a lot of climbing up stairs and slopes to get anywhere, but well worth it and I suppose the clue is in the name of "Cliff" Beach resort. The majority of the other hotels etc are at sea level and further along this east coast, so many have virtually no sun during the day, whilst due to the height of the pool are here, you can get sun well into the afternoon. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. By far the best place to stay on the islane in my oinion.

This is an older property, that was a peaceful and enjoyable place to stay. The staff were professional, attentive, and friendly. I really liked being up in a higher hillside setting, for the views. The top deck pool was a great place to hang out, and scan the horizon. There are plenty of additional restaurants along the beach. The property is on a hillside, which means climbing a lot of stairs. This was fine for me, as I am in good shape.

The pool was amazing. For mid-seventy year old folks, the steps were a little bit of a challenge and better hand rails would be an added plus. Walking the beach at high tide was very dangerous. Therefore, the path/walk to the neighboring resorts should be more developed and obvious.

I’d stay again. Property looks like it once would host more people. Staff great. Rooms clean housekeeping good. Food available was good. Included breakfast was typical Thai buffet omelet station, toast. Pancakes French toast Thai noodles sliced ham Thai sausages fresh fruit salad. Coffee cereal etc. only negatives perhaps it’s at end of beach. When you get off speed boat they will transfer you by long boat up the beach. Also hotel is built on the hillside so if you have mobility issues prob not a good choice Wonderful infinity pool at top. No beach though. Have to walk down a path 100 feet to hit the gorgeous km of beach As is typical, lots of garbage strewn in areas off the beach which is sad. Very quiet island. Stat there to enjoy relaxing, get a massage or two, and chill Beautiful water

ver get bored of the views!

3 night stay in January 2020. Fantastic views from the whole hotel, rooms, pool and restaurant. Nice breakfast included, nice breeze across hotel areas. Restaurant food was nice. Rooms spacious and comfy. Beach and snorkelling are easy to access at the front. Nicer beach for swimming just along the beach. The next restaurant along the beach is called Light my fire, very nice food and music and staff, recommended. Arranged speed boat back to Koh Lanta with the hotel at a decent price. You can easily walk the length of the beach and see the other hotels and restaurants along the beach. Nice and quiet. WiFi fine in room and throughout hotel.

Definitely recommended!

The room was great, clean and spacious. The pool was not overly busy which meant it was a great spot for peace and quiet. The views are incredible - from the pool especially but also from the rooms. I stayed in 520 which was close to the pool and at the top of the resort. There is a golf buggy they use to run you up the hill which is brilliant in the heat! Breakfast was average, options limited. Dinner at the restaurant was great - brilliant service and good food. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I booked boat tickets from the reception and also did a snorkeling/island tour. Wifi available with a strong connection (including video calls). Located at one end of the beach it's tucked away but it is easy to walk along the beach and find other places to eat/have drinks. Overall a fabulous stay and I would certainly recommend for a quiet getaway.

It is less busy and less tourist, you can have the beach to swim all for yourself at times. The staffs are very attentive and friendly. Either you want authentic Thai food or Western fair, they can accommodate very well, and the seafood here is as fresh as the ocean can provide. I really feel like it was the real vacation for a very long time.

Enjoy the stunning view , the great swimming pool and the jungle around . Ray will help you whatever you need , always with a smile . I would like the lunch menu to have more Thai dishes.

Świetne lokalizacja z widokiem na morze

Hotel jest położony na wysokim klifie i roztaczają się z niego przepiękne widoki. Minusem jest trudność dostania się do swojego pokoju, ale na szczęście obsługa dowozi gości... meleksem, co jest fajnym przeżyciem :)

friendly and helpful staff

Hotel was a little tired and run down. The cleanliness was slightly below average but the staff were very helpful and friendly. Great pool

Wonderful view from the room and swimming pool

The view from the room facing Andaman sea and hills in it was amazing. Swimming pool on the top is the one of the best things of this resort. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. You need to walk to the room, which are on the top of the hill - for older people it could be problematic.

7 days of relaxation

All rooms are on a hillside facing the ocean with great views if you are worried about getting to the room they are not bothered driving you there in a golf cart Rooms are clean and tidied every day rooms are fitted with air can and a fan, bar fridge with free bottled water daily

Great view

The pool is a must see but next time i will stay at another hotel. Hotel is old weak breakfast over prised food and lazy Staff.

Stair-exercising hotel with a braethtaking view

Overall ok hotel with a bit remote location at the end of the long beach. The on the hillside climbed up hotel is a trade off between not staying strait on a swimmable beach and the breathtaking view that the altitude gives. Hotel resturant is the only place that you can eat dinner at, but it is also really good. Prepare for stair-exercise

False marketing! Big disappointment!

Me and my husband booked Cliff beach resort for three nights, and we were really looking forward to our visit. We watched the beautiful pictures on the booking site and read about the private beach, the spa/massage with the view over the turquoise ocean and so on. We planned to relax and just enjoy the hotel with all the amenities. Turned out that we just wanted to escape the place. The pictures on the booking sites are very old. The hotel doesn't look like the pictures at all. There is no spa/massage in the building. When we asked the staff they told us they could arranged for a boat to pick us up and take us to the hotel owners other resort on the other side of the beach. - Swimming/sunbathing/relax at daytime On the Internet the hotel says they have a private beach, but that's not much of a beach, there is no way anyone could swim there. It's really shallow and rocky. If you want to take a swim you have to walk at least 500m to another side of the beach. Pool area has a gorgeous view and the pool is nice and clean but that's it. Everything is broken and falling apart. No cushions on the broken sun beds, no pool towels, no service. - Food Breakfast buffet is small. Not many things to chose from. Flies all over the salad. Lunch at the pool bar was bad too. I found a small cockroach in my pizza!!! The fried food tasted like bad oil/butter, and the beer was warm. Dinner was the best of the worst. Food tastes okay, nothing more, and it was lukewarm. Wouldn't eat there

Worst Vacation Ever.

My vacation was ruined thanks to the management of this hotel. I paid in advance several weeks before the trip, however they said due to a booking error they did not have a room for me and dumped me down the beach a their busy and run down sister resort. If they can't promise you a room you paid for in advance, I absolutely wouldn't stay here! Management were terrible at resolving the situation, no matter how angry or upset I was.

Amazing views and peaceful place to rest

We booked this hotel for the amazing views of the island, we werent disappointed!! Beautiful views from our hotel room and from lovely rooftop pool. Breakfast was included snd was ok..they have an egg station and cook omlettes, fried/boiled eggs, etc. Koh ngai is quite isolated and there are not really any shops and certainly mno ATMs so make sure you have enough money/supplies.

Best views in Koh Ngai

Lovely hotel with probably the best views in Koh Ngai from the cliff top pool. Staff were all fantastic and the food was really good and excellent value for money. You could stay at the sister hotel at the other end of the beach which is probably at bit more luxurious but you would miss out on the view which is well worth the climb if the golf buggy isnt working! Would def stay here again

Lovely with Caveats

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel over Christmas 2014. The staff strove to make our time comfortable and we enjoyed the Christmas Eve event. We had two complaints however. Firstly, we had to make requests often twice before they were followed through as English was limited and anything out of the norm was not understood. Secondly, we found the excursion fees would change radically from one day to the next. We were grossly over-charged for our transfer from Koh Ngai to Ao Nang on a packed speed boat and a public ferry, charged double what fellow travelers paid. I would recommend booking those items ahead of time. The Emerald Cave ($36 for 4 persons) was magical and highly recommended.

Beautiful location

this was a nice place, staff was excellent. I arrived early in the season so hotel was rather quiet. Definitely the most amazing views from the pool at the top, but it's definitely on the worst part of the beach, need to head down a ways to find nice sand

Beatiful place and views from room and pool. Rooms are ok with big balconies, fridge, tv-sat, aircon. Unfortunatelly pool is not available in the evening, there is no lights there (which were presented in the photos..). Brekfast is quite boring, one day is self service, other day served by waiter. Staff is very very nice and helpful

Nice and clean great staff

A very nice hotel and nice staff they couldn't do enough for us,the room was nice and the swimming pool was awesome with amazing views,food was lovely too,will be back next year

Great location and view

Great manager, very friendly and helpful, but the rest of staff very quiet and reserved. View from the room was great at sunrise and pool was a good view also. Property could use some work , a bit run down. Beds and pillows were very hard, uncomfortable.

Loved this hotel

I loved my stay here, the views were spectacular and the calm and peaceful surroundings were very much needed. Infinity pool was just amazing. Room was very big, clean and they clean daily. Breakfast was buffet style and again with amazing views. Internet was a bit spotty at times so I just sat in the lobby to book flights etc. I would not recommend this for the elderly as the hills and stairs up to the pool are quite steep. On arrival they golf cart your luggage up which was nice. Will definitely return!

Mysigt men..

Det var ett mysigt ställe, med trevlig personal. Men det fanns inget att göra. Poolen var öppen från 10-18, baren hade kortare öppetider. Ingen tv i rummet, mycket tid för inget. Tvätt kostar per plagg.

Kjempe ålreit hotell om du vil ha det litt fredelig. Vakre omgivelser. Stor trivdes!

Trevligt hotell

Ett trevligt hotell med god mat och bra service. Låg fint uppe på höjden. Fin utsikt från poolen som ligger längst upp. Saknade dock strand vid hotellet.

Skøn udsigt og solopgang fra balkon

Dejligt hotel med værelser op af bjerg, hvilket giver fantastisk havudsigt på de øverste etager. Mange trapper, så absolut ikke for gangbesværede. OK restaurant, men morgenmad meget ordinær. Stranden ud for hotellet er ikke den bedste, men gå blot et par hundrede meter, så er der fantastisk strand.

Wyspa miłości

Hotel przeciętny stary wymaga w wielu miejscach remontu uwaga przy hotelu nie ma plaży tylko wąski pasek lądu podczas odpływu niezbyt urokliwy jeśli chcemy skorzystać z plaży to najlepiej przejść pod Malaya Resort Hotel położony na klifie otoczony dżunglą z pięknymi widokami z oferowanych pokoi to naprawdę duży plus tego ośrodka, dostęp do pokoi trudny po wielu schodach ale na to się decydujemy wybierając ten resort(inwalidom odradzam). Pięknie położony basen z widokami ale miejsce bardzo gorące w ciągu dnia. Śniadania typowe dla Tajlandii i hotelu 2-3 gwiazdkowego restauracja wieczorem serwuje bardzo dobre dania Tajskie , świeże owoce morza były zawsze do wyboru Dla smakoszy wina wybór skromny ale można coś znaleźć. Ceny wina typowe dla Tajlandii od 800 do 1200 bathów jedzenie ceny jak na wyspę Bardzo dobre polecam spróbować dań w różnych resortach i porównać wtedy wyrobimy sobię opinię Obsługa miła choć dzisiejsi Tajowie to już nie to co10 lat temu czy dłużej Bardzo polecam pobyt na tej wyspie

最上部にあるプールからの眺め最高です。クリフ（壁）と言うだけあって上下移動が非常に多いです。食事は朝は中間階のレストラン、昼は最上部のプールの横。夜はビーチのプールと全部違います。お年寄りや足の悪い方は避けた方が無難かもしれません。

Afslappende og roligt

Vi havde et deluxe værelse med havudsigt og det var SÅ dejligt! Privat terrasse ud mod havet og jeg har aldrig været så afslappet i mit liv som her. De mister en stjerne på deres service fordi hotellet ligger øde og de har kun én massør på hotellet, som er booket op. Så man skal bestille tid i god tid. Derudover er maden SÅ dårlig at vi kun spiste den inkluderede morgenmad (som heller ikke var super) resten af tiden. Hver aften bliver der meget højvande og man kan ikke komme tilbage til hotellet langs stranden, så det skal man lige være opmærksom på hvis man spiser et andet sted på øen. Super lækkert sted, meget stort værelse. Vil klart anbefale det.

24 hour Roof top Pool

einfach traumhaft schon die überfahrt bei REGGGGGEn muss man erlebt haben ,aber dann die Herzlichkeit im Hotel, Handtuch zum abtrocknen und mit dem e Karren in die Bergvilla bringen ,alles sehr gut geklappt ,wunderbares Restaurant am Wasser ,Ebbe und Flut sollte man beachten ,schnorcheln direkt vor dem Hotel !!! Und zum Schluss 24hours open Pool,selbst in der Nacht mit Tschenlampe ein Erlebnis für zwei!!!

Janne

Vi tycker det är ett nerslitet hotell som är i behov renovering. Läget dåligt vid tidvatten, svårt att ta sig på stranden. Personal mycket trevlig och hjälpsam.

Ok men slitet.

Hotellet slarvigt byggt och mycket slitet men ligger väldigt bra vilket gör att man har visst överseende. Frukosten ok men finns mycket att önska. Personalen mycket bra! Omgivningen och dess små matställen längs stranden mycket bra. Priserna normala.

Consigliabile

Personale gentile e disponibile.. pulizia ok ... scomodità dello scaldabagno a gas ... X ottenere l'acqua calda ...

Fantastisk soloppgang.

Fantastisk utsikt, stort variabelt utvalg på meny, meget god smak. Middagsservering for tidlig kl 2100 . Flott swimingpool, men elendig strand, spessielt på lavvann, langgrunt og steinete. Anbefaler å besøke baren i teltleiren 100m fra resorten, hyggelig folk med musikk og gode mojitos.

Stille retreat og afslapning i flotte omgivelser

Så smukt sted med de flotteste omgivelser, lækker pool område og rigtig dejlig udsigt over hav og jungle fra vores værelse og altan. Massage stand ude på en klippe hvor man kan høre havet skvulpe. RIGTIG GOD OPLEVELSE!

Tempête pabuk

Hotel assez vieux un bon coup de réparation y ferais le plus grand bien chambre terne laisser à l'abandon c'est dommage y pense que a faire de l'argent, restaurant pas très bon vaut mieux aller à ceux d'à côté

ホテル到着時に、ニューイヤーディナーの料金を1,500B未払いと言われ、払わされた。 料理は400B相当で非常に残念。

Ett stopp på Koh Ngai

Hej, 2 dagar på denna fantastiskt fina lilla ö, där vi bestämde oss för denna lilla resort, första anblicken väldigt trevlig. I reception fick vi välja om vi ville bo längst upp eller inte, HELT klart värt de vilken soluppgång att vakna upp till 😍 sen är lite trappor men vad gör de? Men annars kör personalen med glädje en upp o ner med sin lilla golfbil, Rummen kanske inte i sitt modernaste slag, men städade och kändes inte ofräscha, sköna sängar, man får ha i åtanke att de är byggt 2002, Poolen med fantastisk utsikt längst upp bäst på hela ön, personalen otroligt trevliga gulliga och hjälpsamma ordnande med snorkel tur med lunch och transport vidare till Koh Lanta, åt oss ett väldigt + okej priser på allt, Väldigt god mat och drinkar, frukosten lite torftig men en nygjord omelett och lite pannkakor med frukt räckte för oss, dock vi var nog bara ca 10-15 personer på hotellet, Personalen höjde allt, 5 stjärnor helt klart om de fått sig ett facelift 👌

Wir waren 1 Woche mit 4 Kindern im Paradies. Sehr viele kleine bunte Fische am Riff!

Plus för att det är rent, fräscht och fantastisk miljö.. Minus för väntan på maten i restaurangen och för att man får betala 700 baht per natt för extrasäng när man bokat ett rum för tre....

Ein Resort zum entspannen

Das CBF ist ein ruhiges, gut geführtes Resort mit sehr aufmerksamen Personal. Frühstück und Restaurant ist bestens zu Empfehlen. Sunee, von der Rezeption, war sehr hilfsbereit und auskunftsfreudig. Das Massagepersonal ist sehr professionell.

Bra

Ligger en bit ifrån piren där man blir avsläppt med båten. Kontakta hotellet så bokar de en longtailbåt direkt från piren till hotellet. Ligger jättefint uppe på en klippa precis som namnet avslöjar. Kvällsmaten är inte jättebra och de tar lite högre priser än vanligt. Stranden utanför är klippig o inte bra för att bada i. Man får gå en 15 min för att hitta bra badstrand. Poolen är ligger fantastiskt och lunchrestaurang hade en Toppen god burgare.

Paradiset!

Poolutsikten var fantastisk!!!

escapade romantique

MAGNIFIQUE

Une vue à couper le souffle. L accueil de la réception très pro. Vous pouvez admirer une variété de poissons extra en masque et tuba sans aller bien loin. Une bonne réfection des chambres est à prévoir pour rester dans le coup.

Habe das Hotel schon einmal bewertet ,der Ausblick und der Pool ist genial , aber Sehr negativ :am Pool stehen nach wie vor keine Auflagen fuer die harten Liegen zur Verfuegung da hat sich nichts zum posiven verbessert , nochmal wurde ich das Hotel nicht buchen .

Supermysigt & trevlig personal

Vi hade en underbar vistelse på Koh Ngai. Personalen här är helt fantastiska, verkligen supertrevliga. Utsikten från rummet var magiskt och från poolen likaså. Även väldigt god mat på kvällarna
