I stayed at the Long Beach Resort located at the very end of Long Beach. The cool part about the resort is that it is on the top of a cliff and the views from above are amazing. It was also super cheap, like $15 bucks a night . If you don't mind climbing steps, I would stay here. Friendly staff and probably one of the more isolated places on the whole island (complete opposite of the main strip that everyone stays on near the harbor). You can swim out around 4 pm and snorkel while sharks swim below you, awesome experience! The hotel also charters cheap long tails. I think the most underrated part of Ko Phi Phi is a little hidden bay called Wang Long Bay, go there!

We stayed at Paradise Pearl a few months ago and absolutely loved it. Not cheap but well worth the money. P6 bungalow, just a stones throw from the beach, exceptionally quiet and beautifully finished. Easily the most expensive place we stayed in Thailand but worth blowing the budget. Can't imagine why you'd need a swimming pool with that beach there. The neighbouring Viking Resort looked nice for those on a budget. We ate there a couple of times and it was lovely. From Long Beach, long tail boats are 200 baht or its an easy walk. By the way, there were 4 of us - two 6 year olds. Whatever you decide, have fun!
