U Rip Resort

Modern, cozy and clean rooms. Great staff, great location, nice room. Free minibar and daily water. Bag service from the ferry to the hotel and back when leaving. The pools were great. The location was good for us as well. We liked that it was on the quiet side of the island.

Breakfast is very poor. Swimming pools not super large. Mould all within first bedroom we was placed in, both in bedroom and bathroom, using 6 air fresheners to try and mask the putrid smell of this. The rooms are not as described. We asked to change the room because the smell of the toilet was really bad.

The resort offers amenities such as daily housekeeping, contactless check-in/check-out, physical distancing in dining areas, shuttle service (additional charge), fishing, snorkeling, child pool, and laundry facilities.

The breakfast at U Rip Resort is described as very basic, with a mixture of Thai food and the usual western food. It is noted to be halal, offering chicken sausages and turkey ham instead of pork versions.

The low season is in September, and the high season is in December. Visitors may want to consider these times for their stay.

Guests recommend choosing a room with a mountain view for newer accommodations and a quieter atmosphere, despite the uphill walk.

The hotel's pool area does not have a pool menu, so guests suggest bringing their own food and drinks to the pool.

Visiting in September, the low season, may offer a quieter experience and potentially lower rates.

Some guests advise against booking the standard double room, citing it as older and less desirable, while recommending the superior room for a good size and cleanliness.

Guests mention that the hotel's location requires walking and even hiking, so it's advisable to be prepared for this.

Some guests found the rooms to be basic and dated, while others noted that part of the hotel has been renovated, suggesting that updated rooms may offer a better experience.

Some guests experienced issues with the washroom facilities and the quality of the breakfast, recommending bringing personal toiletries and considering dining options outside the hotel for breakfast.

The hotel's quiet end of the island is appreciated by some guests for a peaceful atmosphere, while others caution that it may be challenging to access the rooms after a day of walking.

Guests appreciate the hotel's bag service from the ferry to the hotel and back when leaving, making the arrival and departure process more convenient.

While the low season may offer a quieter experience, some guests suggest that the high season in December may provide better quality and value for the price.
