Bayview “resort” has to be the worst accomodation I have ever stayed at and completely destroyed my time in Phi Phi Island. For someone who has backpacked around Europe and has stayed in some pretty dirty places before, I’ve never seen anything as bad as this before. The water coming out of the tap is brown and STINKS the entire room. I had to brush my teeth on the balcony and spit off the balcony in an effort to avoid the bathroom altogether. A shower was a no go zone. There are giant snakes and lizards roaming the facility, which is terrifying. The property is on an extremely steep hill and would be unbearable for someone who isn’t young and fit to get to and from their rooms. The breakfast buffet is located in a stinky area, which destroyed my appetite. Even if I felt up to eating, all that I could find that didn’t look gross was toast and butter. I ended up spending more money to buy a nice breakfast elsewhere. The location is far from the centre (approx 30 min walk) and you have to pass sewerage to get in and out of the centre, which is very smelly. The path to get to and from the centre does not feel safe to walk through at night. There are no taxi services to use to assist in the journey. The only positive of this place is that the aircon works well. But electricity doesn’t run in the room without the one keycard. The towels and sheets are all dirty with stains on them. You can not access the hotel from a pathway, you have to walk on the beach to get there.
