Varin Beach Resort

Booked a room with a fan, not sure if it was my fault or the site's error. They wanted an addition 1,000 Baht per night for A/C. Rough it out every night but had a good time Kol Lipe.

A good stay at the Varin. The location is excellent. Pool was nice. Water pressure great and plenty hot water. It was an excellent location. We probably would stay here again.

Great location, close to beach, shops and restaurants. Quiet.

The room we had was not only made of paper, but the walls were bubbling and needed repair. Room was musty, and check in is a nightmare. You may want to think about, precheck so everyone doesng need to do it at once. Breakfast, location and pool are definitely the high points. Due to Chinese New Year it was so hard to find a place, but have definitely stayed at cheaper and better on the island. But location is Great!

We stayed at this resort for four nights—three in a Villa and one in a basic room. While the Villa was comfortable and enjoyable, the basic room didn’t quite meet our expectations for the price. It felt overpriced, likely due to Koh Lipe’s popularity. If you’re planning to visit, I’d highly recommend booking in advance to get better value for your stay. Overall, the resort is decent, but pricing could be more reasonable.

Many reviews mention that the breakfast isn’t great—well, it’s free! If you don’t like it, you’re always free to pay for something elsewhere. The rooms are basic, so don’t expect luxury. High prices for what you are getting are understandable, as this is a high demand island.

Only nice was the location. No room cleaning for 1 week, had to chase them to grt new towels. Awful check in experience.. all in all, no good value for your money

Great place and convenient to the pier drop off point. Dada at the front counter check in is so kind and helpful we decided to stay another 3 days. Thank you Dada and crew! Keep up the good work!

Great place for a vacation. Right on the main beach main drag. Good cafes and bars right next door. Plus, the tours pick up from the lobby.

Spend the extra money and stay somewhere better. This hotel has a great location but nothing else. Unhelpful reception, pool is the bare minimum and for some reason not built on the beach, complimentary breakfast is so bad, we skipped the last 2 of 4 days.

Excellent location with a lovely pool and good breakfast selection. Our son’s mattress was very hard and only had a thin sheet so he was freezing with the air con. Had to pay extra for a decent blanket.

Great location but that’s about it. Breakfast very poor, room not cleaned during stay despite asking twice. Bed rock hard

At check it was so nice to be greeted by very happy staff special praise to Pum and Dada, they were amazing. Now for the downside there were only 3 umbrellas around the pool area 2 of which were broken so very little or no shade. The sunbeds didn't have cushions on them they were so hard it was difficult to lay on them for more than 5 minutes. A lack of rubbish bins around the pool, at times trash was left anywhere as there was no bins. Finally my biggest concern. The coffee machine in the restaurant of which there is only 1 is no better than useless. Everyday there are people queuing just for a cup of coffee. To finish would I stay at the Varin Resort again, Yes, definitely. Brilliant location and amazing staff.

Terrible breakfast. Rock solid beds!

The hotel is very disorganized. Rooms not available on time. I had to queue for over an hour at the front desk to check in. The site is neglected. Rubbish and building material lying around the resort. Not good.

Room was a good size and clean enough but the grounds were dirty and scruffy. Staff were so unfriendly and u helpful. Checkin took 45 minutes. One person had an issue with his room an the receptionist pretended she didnt understand English even though she had just been having a perfect convention with another person in English 2 minutes priorr to his complaint. The location is great but i th island is that small it doesnt matter whwreyou stay pool also only has 8 beds even though it has 100s of guests so unless u get there at 8am there is no piint using it

Convenient - at the beach, steps away from the ferry dock. Great breaskfast options except for the really long queue for coffee as yhere is only one coffee machine for real coffee asidde from instant. Next to the walking - all in all good place.

Clean very helpful staff great service
