We really enjoyed the property and it's position close to the walking street. The restaurant is also very nice and well priced. There's everything you need:from beach towels, to diving gear, toys for children, kayaks. They are super nice too. I liked that the afternoon it has a lot of shade so you avoid burning and it's ideal if you have kids. Only minor thing I did not like is that the air con was pointing to the bed and annoying. Some friends reported the same in another resort, so maybe it's an habit. Otherwise best resort ever.

The week we spent at Wapi Resort was the highlight of a month long trip to Thailand! We stayed in one of the three beachfront bungalows. The resort is well situated on Sunrise beach and just a few minute walk away from the Walking Street. The room was clean and well equipped and had an amazing view from the spacious deck. The combination of large Pine and Palm trees provide plenty of shade alongside the beach and there was plenty of very comfortable cushioned loungers. The daily breakfast was great (as was lunch, albeit we only dined in the afternoon once during our stay as we spent most of time dining on the Walking Street). The owners (Johann (SP?) and Boi) and EVERY one of their staff we encountered were AMAZING. That is what really sets this property apart. They were very helpful with every aspect of our stay. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Our Garden Bungalow was clean and the mattress was good. We slept well. The bathroom was clean and had hot water. The beach was amazing, not much dead reef. So nice to swim especially during high tide. The breakfast was sufficient. I love their homemade yogurt. The resorts' bicycles need to be upgraded

The perks is that it was right on the beach. And the beach was beautiful. The amenities were poor. The toilets didn’t really work and neither did the TV. Food at the restaurant was good. No taxi service from the ferry port, which seemed pretty standard for other hotels. This place wasn’t incredibly cheap. It’s a better bet to pay a bit more for an upgraded spot.

Stay at beachfront resort. Nice seaview and able to see sunrise everyday. Breakfast is good. Staffs are helpful and friendly. My room was prepared early for my early check in. Everyday having lunch at the resort restaurant due to prices are reasonable and foods are delicious. Very good location and short walk to walking street. Compliment bicycle for you to cycle around the island. I am highly recommend this resort for it best hospitality. I will stay again if I am going to Koh Lipe in my next trip.

Hotel is right on the beach. The staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are a good size and very clean. The hotel had a subtle eco theme that was greatly appreciated. Bikes, snorkeling gear, life jackets and Kayaks were available to use. Loved it.

The hotel faciliteren look shappby compared to site pictures. Clearly no maintainance for a while. Main dissapointmen is the noise. I was in August and dozens and dozens of boats come and go every few minutes. It’s like camping in the middle of a big parking lot. Not what I was looking for. Other then that very nice sunrise and lovely staff

Eco-friendly and good value
Clean and safe resort. Most of the rooms are standalone units. We were able to get a good rest any time of the day. A safe is provided to store your valuables. Hammocks are found at the beachfront. Really nice to relax at the beachfront watching sunrise. Love it to be able to walk around the resort barefooted. The owners and staff kept the place well. Breakfast is served at 7.30am. There may not be a wide breakfast selection but it has everything I love: porridge, rice/noodles, sausage, ham, cereals, yogurt, toast, coffee, tea, fruits, freshly squeezed juice and smoothie. There is a smoothie everyday. Their smoothie is a must try. A lady will take orders for eggs and bacon. There was no one to pick us up when we arrived at the pier. It may be because we did not state our arrival time. We paid 150 baht for a taxi from Sunrise pier (in front of the school) to Wapi. We went to Koh Kra several times during our stay. It was quiet and peaceful especially between 11am and 1pm. We tried swimming and kayaking to Koh Kra. Kayak is our preferred choice as it allows us to spend more time snorkeling around the island. It was an enjoyable stay.

Nice and helpful staffs
The rooms are very simple and quite dated but it's fine for just a 1-night stay and the bathroom is very clean. I was very grateful to the staffs that allowed us to leave our luggage at their front desk even though we've checked out 2 days ago and had returned to Langkawi to catch our night flight. The staffs also so willingly let us used their spare room to freshen up without charging (but we tipped) as we also have a baby with us. Excellent customer service.

Nice hotel with beautiful beach right in front
We had a great time at Wapi Resort, it's a place to relax, right in front of the Sunrise Beach with good beach chairs/beds for you to enjoy. They give you discount for massages as well which I happily used. Room was comfortable, good bed, aircon working very well, TV with only one English channel (but who needs TV in a holiday), bathroom was not well maintained but good enough. Breakfasts were good, and in general food at the restaurant was beautiful and well priced. Located at only 5 min walk to the walking street

Nice hotel on the beach
The hotel is right on the beach on the "quiet" side of the island. But it's only an 800 meter walk to the other side if you like a bit more lively atmosphere. We enjoyed walking through the shops in the walking street, which is only a few meters from the hotel. Great food is only a block away from the hotel.

Not that great after all
The room - Garden view smells of sewage, the TV channels all in Thai, no English channels, the staff friendliness depends on their mood. The breakfast is great, the massage by the beach is awesome, the beach itself is dirty from the surrounding pollution which is kinda sad.

Farang owner is very rude and unfriendly
I could not say one thing good about this resort. - Starting from the worse experience with the owner, who apparently does not know how to smile and has zero customer service. He insulted me for taking too much drinking water from the office and stated he did not care about me being sick and accused me of lying, and went on nagging about the cost of water on his hands. In reality, I was sick with bad food poisoning with low grade fever, and that was my first time taking the water - 1 bottle over the allowing 2. However, the policy says unlimited refill ( Perhaps military style management to get 2 bottles first, and walk back when done.. haha..). When I complained to others, he lied that he wasn't sure I was the resort's guest (He could simply ask, and not rude to anyone, guest or not). I asked around, thinking I caught him on a bad day, but I was told that's the way he is... just blunt, never smile, and very cheap. - The beach front was too busy. I hoped for nice sand beach with nature, but it was packed with taxi boats parking all across the shoreline. Instead of breathing fresh air, you got boat exhaust. - I got a garden bungalow. It was too small for comfort, only one person could walk around at a time. - Bathroom is not nice and small with NO shower certain. So each time you shower, the entire room is wet and slippery. - Constant smell of sewer outside bungalow - Breakfast is very basic. - Room cleaning service came late and do poor job. - Lower rate = horrible staying
