I had a mixed experience at Forra Dive Resort. On one hand, my bungalow was right on the beach, providing lovely breezes and a comfy bed with a mosquito net. On the other hand, the overall experience was hindered by issues like power outages and poor service, which detracted from my stay.

Rooms

My bungalow was a basic bamboo hut right on the beach, but the lack of amenities like toilet paper and poor lighting were quite disappointing. The bed was comfy, and the spacious shower was a plus.

Service

5.0

The staff were friendly enough most of the time, but I found them to be quite dismissive and not very helpful during certain issues, especially with power outages.

Location

8.0

The location was fantastic, right off the beach, which made for stunning views and easy access to the water. However, being next to the pier brought more crowds than I expected.

Dining

5.0

Dining options were quite limited and overpriced, especially for basic dishes like instant coffee. I felt it was not worth it considering the quality.

Facilities

5.0

The resort had limited facilities, which included housekeeping that did a decent job, but overall, there weren't many amenities to enhance the stay.

I had a magical experience staying at Forra Dive Resort in Koh Lipe. The little bamboo cabins offered a unique connection with nature, right between the beach and jungle. However, it was challenging to cope with the heat in my cabin, which lacked air conditioning, and I encountered some issues with cleanliness. Overall, the beautiful beach and friendly staff made it a nice visit! 🌴✨

Rooms

7.0

The bamboo cabin was cute and nestled among nature, providing a peaceful stay. However, my cabin was hot with just a fan, and it let in too much noise from neighbors.

The staff were incredibly friendly and made my stay even better. They always greeted me with a smile, adding to the inviting atmosphere.

Location

The resort is perfectly situated right on the beach, with stunning coral just a short swim away. It's also a quick 7-minute walk to the main street, making it convenient yet peaceful.

Dining

7.0

The breakfast options included cooked eggs, which I enjoyed, though I wished there were coffee machines available right on the beach.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were rustic and had a unique charm, but the absence of proper insulation and some cleanliness issues detracted from the experience.

My stay at Forra Dive Resort was a mix of beautiful beach moments and some basic accommodation challenges. The location right on the sandy beach was fantastic, perfect for hopping into the sea. However, the huts were quite basic, and I dealt with a few mosquitoes due to a nearby swamp. Overall, a budget-friendly option given the beach access, but don’t expect luxury.

Rooms

8.0

I stayed in a Standard Bungalow with Garden View. The bamboo cottage was cozy but quite basic. It was nice having good ventilation without air conditioning, and the bed was comfortable with a mosquito net, though I did miss some personal toiletries.

Service

7.0

Service was decent but nothing extravagant. The housekeeping kept things tidy, but there's a general laid-back vibe that might not meet everyone's expectations.

Location

10.0

The resort is directly on the beach, which is its biggest plus. I loved being steps away from the water, making it easy to enjoy the sun and surf.

Dining

6.0

I found the dining options interesting but a bit odd for Thailand, especially with an Italian restaurant on-site. They did offer some homemade preserves, but I expected better espresso.

Facilities

7.0

Facilities were basic; I appreciated the spacious shower, but overall the amenities were not luxurious. Just keep in mind, this is a budget option.

I stayed in a charming little bungalow that perfectly blended with nature, surrounded by the sounds of frogs and birds. although there were some minor inconveniences with the rustic setup. The proximity to the beach was fantastic, making my mornings relaxing and enjoyable, yet there were a few issues with pests that could be concerning for some.

Rooms

My cabin was cute and nestled between the beach and jungle, though the sounds from adjacent cabins were quite noticeable. The outdoor shower was good, added a unique touch, along with the comfort of sleeping under a thick mosquito net, letting me fully enjoy the natural surroundings.

Service

6.0

The staff were friendly and accommodating, creating a welcoming atmosphere. yet I did notice a slight inconsistency in the level of service, felt a bit different from the renowned Thai hospitality. Overall, it didn’t put a damper on my experience.

Location

9.0

The resort's location is just perfect, merely a seven-minute walk along the beach to the main street, allowing me to enjoy the vibrant local life while still retreating to a peaceful haven. The beach right in front is beautiful, with coral and colorful fish just a few meters away.

Dining

7.0

While I didn't take advantage of the restaurant and bar on-site, the proximity to various dining options was noticeable. it seemed a bit pricey overall, but typical for the area. The fresh barbecues at nearby spots may have offered some options I missed.

Facilities

6.0

The resort offered basic facilities that met my needs. The housekeeping was efficient, keeping my space tidy. though I had to manage the presence of some unwanted guests like cockroaches, which was uncomfortable occasionally.

I stayed at Forra Dive Resort for a few nights and found the location absolutely perfect, right on Pattaya Beach. The family bungalow was basic but served its purpose. the mattress was comfy, and I loved the sound of the waves at night. However, I faced some inconveniences, like a lack of amenities and some minor issues with cleanliness. Overall, it was a decent stay, but improvements are definitely needed.

Rooms

6.0

I stayed in a family bungalow with garden view. it was quite basic with just beds, nets, and fans. While the mattress was comfy, I did notice some gaps around the windows, making it feel less private. Also, I struggled with a little water dripping during a storm, but it wasn't a huge issue.

Service

5.0

The staff interaction varied. I found them to be quite dismissive at times, which was disappointing. During one instance with a power cut, their response wasn’t helpful, and I was left in a bit of a dilemma while showering. I did appreciate the cleaner's efforts to tidy up the room.

Location

Facilities were quite basic. no fridge or air conditioning, and I found it inconvenient not having water or toiletries in the bungalow. The power cuts also affected my stay significantly.
