ove-priced.
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.

Over all OK
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.

Spend a bit more, and stay somewhere better!
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.

Varin
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.

Disorganised
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

Good location and has potential but feels forgotten about. Bad breakfast. Bad communication with reception. Banging on door to kick you out at 10am.

This is our third time or maybe fourth time at Varin Beach Resort we always come back here for the good price, excellent location, friendly and helpful staff. Areas of improvement is the food which they lack a bit of western dishes, they do try but still a long way to go, but they're super friendly so it goes a long way in making us feel welcome. We will definitely come back to Varin Beach hopefully end of the year

Not recommended
The resort itself is fine - good location, nice pool area, nice lobby. But the "deluxe" room was horribly uncomfortable, with the hardest bed I have slept on in Asia. I ended the trip here halfway through and moved to another hotel - that is how bad the bed was. Three nights of sleeping on that "mattress" and my neck hurt so badly I could barely move.
When I checked out 3 days early, the staff did not even bother to ask why.
The resort has some nice amenities, but the beds in their deluxe rooms are so bad that it ruined the experience.

Okay stay given the entire island is expensive
Positives:
- room looked like pictures for most part
- big enough room
- pool area was nice
- big breakfast selection
Negatives:
- check in and out was incredibly slow
- staff seemed slightly rude and it wasn’t a language barrier
- when we arrived at the hotel before we were even allowed to step in to the lobby we were hassled by a staff member wanting to see our email to confirm booking before.
- pool area could have had some more sun loungers given the size of the resort

We really liked the breakfast buffet, especially the thai dishes, but it's lacking good coffee. Also, breakfast only until 10 is not good for people who like to sleep long and checkout until 10 is also too early in my opinion.
Room was good, staff friendly and helpful and the pool is also nice.

Comfort
Very nice hotel. Location is very near the Walking Street. However, there's no kettle at the room. So if you travel with baby, is not really recommended. Or perhaps need to choose other type of room instead. Overall its a comfort stay.

Price over rated for what you get at the resort.
The resort looks new but the inside of the rooms is not new and bed was not comfortable and looks old for a new place . Aircon was not working well , also looks like an old one and wifi is not working in the rooms , only at the reception.
