The bungalows are nicely spaced out on a quiet patch of Sunrise Beach. They are very picturesque, being made completely from bamboo, and the rates are very competitive for Koh Lipe. The common area / bar / restaurant is also very good with some excellent relaxing seats and hammocks etc. They also serve very good food. If you’re thinking about... More

Its a good option if you want to be located next to the beach and you want to experence diving on Andaman's sea. Mercedes is the spanish manager of the place, really friendly. She makes you feel like home.

A wonderful week. Owners are welcoming you just like if you were old friends. Easy,, just so easy. Simple, so far away from the regular hotel welcoming ! Leave the comfort away and enjoy the simplicity. It is really relaxing when everything is so simple. Take a dive and you will even relax more.

My kids (18 and 13) didn't want to leave, but my wife and I were not as happy returning to the relative discomfort of a non-AC palm and nipa bungalow. For once, we were more spoiled than our youngsters who loved roughing it. There's nothing wrong with these huts and the scene--particularly on the Sunrise Beach side--is something out of... More

This was the fourth time we stayed with Forra. My daughter is 4 yrs old and each time she looks forward to climbing up the bamboo lathers and living the adventure of sleeping in a bamboo hut. Each bungalow has a hammock, where you can relax in privacy. Sunrise beach has more of atmosphere with the front common lounge facing... More
