Visited with my partner for 4 nights in the deluxe cabin. We stayed during the low season so the resort doesn’t serve alcohol or dinner, only breakfast. There was also quite a lot of mosquitos on the island… obviously no fault of the resort. Breakfast was lovely and fresh and was included in our stay. 
There is free snorkelling gear, bicycles and you can rent kayaks for 100 baht per hour. 
Would definitely recommend staying here - very reasonable for the stunning views of the island

Great stay for reasonable price

Stayed at Wapi resort from 23-27th June 2024. Me & my wife loved our stay here. 
The service, the people who ran the resort were brilliant. They made our stay very pleasant and comfortable. Always helpful with any enquiries about activities on the island. 

We received a free upgrade from garden to sea view bungalow. Inside the bungalow everything you needed, from thongs to Sarongs. Stainless steel water bottles, a beach carry bag. The bed was very comfortable. The room cosy and simple. 

The resort supplied beach lounge chairs, there were some hammocks which were easy to relax in. The snorkelling gear was free to use and cheap to hire kayaks. You could snorkel over coral not far from the beach or kayak to the small island where there's lots of coral and variety of colourful fish, we found 3 small groups of Nemo too. 

The beach is okay but nice if you go down further as lots of long boats by the resort. Pattaya beach has nicer sand which is only 10-12 minutes walk. Walking street only 5 minutes walk so lots of restaurants within easy walking distance.

The breakfast in the morning is simple but delicious especially the freshly made mango or pineapple juice. It was a pleasure to stay at the Wapi Resort and if back to Koh Lipi we would stay here again.

Very beautiful place to stay

Fabulous resort on the beach at Koh Lipe.
Wonderful, smiling staff.
Supercomfy beds in well equipped bungalows.
Great breakfast included and lunches good also.
Really helpful staff provided advice on trips etc.
Tremendous effort you guys.
Thanks, we miss you.

Fantastic!!

A pretty rocky start to this stay as we arrived after 6pm to a resort that was dark and looked closed up. I had emailed ahead to say we would be late (boat from Koh Lanta took far longer than estimated) but got no reply. I went next door to the Salisa resort and they were thankfully able to contact the Wapi resort host for us who then found us and showed us to our room. Other than this issue, the host was really friendly, smiley and helpful. She sorted a lift for us to the port at the end of our stay and gave us advice on boats and tours. Room and bed were comfortable, bathroom was clean and good, air conditioning worked well and seating area outside was nice. Location was good, easy walk to the walking street and next door to Adang Sea Divers if you want to dive or do a snorkel tour with them. Sun beds and hammocks are available to relax in and they offer good quality snorkels, life vests and kayaks that guests can borrow. 

Buffet breakfast options and coffees weren’t that great but they will cook eggs and bacon for you which was great. Wifi not good enough in rooms and we had a strong connection. Lots of long boats parked in the sea outside the resort so not that tranquil and doesn’t feel like the best spot to swim in. We got massages and the location of the massage was great and listening to the waves was really nice. There was confusion over when our massage was, we originally got told by the Masseuse that we were booked for 12pm but then when we turned up for 12 there were other people getting a massage. We waited for 30 minutes before asking the resort host what was happening and they told us we were now at 1pm. Not a huge problem but after we waited my massage was brutal and I tried to indicate to her that it was hurting my spine but she didn’t change anything. My spine and neck were very sore. My partner didn’t have the same experience so I guess it depends on who you get?

Comfortable beds, friendly host and nice location, skip the massage

I did a lot of research when deciding where to stay in Ko Lipe and I made the perfect choice in Wapi Resort. This place has such a chilled vibe. It's super quiet and relaxed and it felt more like we were staying with a friend of a friend rather than in a resort. The owner is so helpful and approachable and will help you out with any request. He was so good at doing everything he could to make us feel welcome and always being available to help but at the same time was never intrusive and left us to do our thing.  The resort has some great environmental initiatives and some great little extras. The complimentary water bottles allow you to refill anytime of the day or night. We used the cute little beach bags and complimentary towels constantly. 
The breakfast was simple but tasty and an easy way to start the day. We regretted that we didn't eat any other meals at the resorts restaurant until the last day because the food was delicious.
I usually go for a resort with a pool and thought I'd miss having one at Wapi but I didn't at all. The beach is so easily accessible and so beautiful that a pool was completely unnecessary. The water temperature was perfect and was clear and calm with no currents or rips. We swam in the ocean out the front of the resort constantly even when it rained. My only word of caution is that we did regularly find broken glass and other sharp objects just below the sands surface when swimming so maybe a pair of swim shoes wouldn't be a bad idea. The beach is very quiet and quite dark at night and we were extremely lucky to get to splash around in bioluminescence on the shore one night.
The location of Wapi is excellent. Exit out the back corner of the resort and it's a super quick and easy stroll into walking street. We went out on foot quite a bit either along the beach or following the dirt road behind the resort and  explored all over the island.
We had two garden bungalows at the back of the resort. They were basic but very clean and quiet with comfy beds, great aircon and equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. We did have an issue with one of the bungalows not having any warm water in the shower and a couple of toilet issues in the other. Im sure the owner would have dealt with these immediately had we asked but it wasn't a big issue for us so we didn't bother. Next time I would possibly book a deluxe bungalow purely just to spoil myself a little but I'd have no problem staying in the same bungalows again. I know a lot of people like the Seaview/Beachfront bungalows but personally I felt it was quieter and a lot more private in the garden bungalows but that comes down to personal preference.
If you're after a fancy high end resort with robotic staff then Wapi is not for you. If you want excellent but down to earth customer service, good accommodation at a reasonable price and ideal location then I highly recommend Wapi Resort. It will be my first choice  when I hopefully return to the beautiful island of Ko Lipe one day in the future.

Best place to stay on Ko Life

We stayed 3 wonderful nights in a garden bungalow. The beach is only metres away. The staff service was excellent and we had a decent breakfast. I like the small but important details such as refillable water bottles, mosquito spray, beach towels and laundry rack. The sunrise beach is the best in Koh Lipe, so you can't go wrong here.

Great!

Fabolous place and great artwork by the owner Johann. Loved it....Set on the beach in a perfect spot. The staff and the food are excellent. Book early as it gets sold out in high season - I had to leave and come back. Its Home Sweet Home in all respects. Highly recommended.

Fabulous!

A great little place to stay. Its not fancy but its clean, tidy and has all that you need for a beach holiday on Ko Lipe. 
Bathrooms are large with shower at one end and the toilet at the other with the hand basin in the middle, important if you like a bathroom with a dry floor.  
Probably its best asset is its little café. Simple but good food, great coffee and you can sit there all day if you wish.  
Beware, they only offer double beds in some rooms. 

Great place to stay

Stayed for 2 nights while we were in Langkawi.  Came over on the ferry/speedboat.

We stayed in a beachfront villa with great views of the beach and crystal clear waters.  

The room was clean and the breakfast was good.  We also organised a snorkelling trip with the hotel which left from the beach outside.  The snorkelling was superb and thoroughly recommend.

The hotel is kept clean with reusable water bottles, towels, flip/flops and beach bag.  Great touch.

Loved our stay here.

Perfect Location

Our family of five (14, 12, 6 year olds) stayed here for four nights. We all agreed it was our best family beach vacation ever. Wapi Resort was a big reason why. Here's our overview:

Things We Loved:
1. Location - We travelled the island a lot in our five days and we are confident that Wapi Resort has the best location (if you are looking for something close to everything) on the entire island. It is a couple minutes from Walking Street and convenient stores. It is right in the middle of Sunrise Beach (the best beach on the island) and close to both Koh Kra and Koh Usen (best snorkel spots). The beach is the most shaded and most beautiful with snorkeling right off the shore. It is close to everything that is happening but far enough away that you are not bombarded with noise or people. 
2. Thoughtful Amenities - There are lots of little things that make Wapi great. They had free beach toys for our 6 year old, free rafts for our kids to use, free snorkel gear and life vests, free beach bags for each room, free beach towels, beautiful grounds, excellent daily house keeping, free transport to and from the ferry -- so many little things that added up and made Wapi a special place to stay. 
3. Great Restaurant - We loved their restaurant. We ate every breakfast and lunch there. The Prawn Fritters, curries, homemade gelato, and smoothies were big hits in our family. We did not see too many reviews for the restaurant in our research, so this was a very pleasent surprise. It was nice not leaving the resort for most of our meals. However, it should be noted that the restaurant closes before dinner, so you have to go elsewhere for your final meal of the day. 
4. The Staff - From the owner to the goundscrew -- everyone did an exceptional job filling their role. The grounds were immaculately swept each day, the kitchen staff was always helpful, kind, and happy to make our kids something, the owner was super helpful in recommendations, the hired motorbike taxis were always friendly and helpful with our kids.
5. The Rooms - Big, clean, nice bathrooms, comfy beds, everything worked really well -- the AC and fridge were super cold, their were plenty of places to hang wet clothes and even a spicket to wash sandy feet at every room. 
6. The Shade - There are huge pines and other trees on the property that help keep the sun away. This was really nice because there was shade on the beach from noon to night, so our six year old (and me) could play on the shore and not get burned. For those that love the sun, there is, of course, plenty of that too. 

Things That Could Be Improved:
1. The water smelled like rotten eggs for the first couple of days. This, I imagine, is a pretty common problem for these beach resorts as they try to tackle the water issues that are inherent on a remote island. The smell was likely from sulfur and a water tank that needed to be flushed. This smell was fixed halfway into our stay. 
2. The TV was a smart TV and had several apps -- none of them which worked for us. This was not a big deal for our family. We brought our own projector with movies, but it should be noted. 

In conclusion, we loved our time in Koh Lipe and Wapi Resort because it was perfect for our family. Our teenage girls liked to walk Walking Street in the early evenings/late afternoons; our six year old loved playing at the beach and eating their waffles with ice cream; the adults loved relaxing by the ocean on the beach loungers, watching the long tail boats come and go. As a family we loved kayaking and paddle boarding to the nearby islands, taking a private boat trip to nearby islands to snorkel, and exploring the best restaurants for dinner.
